Abstract
The Computer Systems, Methodologies, and Intelligent Services group, supported by the governmental programme funding, comprises researchers from five laboratories of the Institute for Computer Science at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science of the University of Maribor. The group pursues two global objectives: firstly, to do scientific research in the fields developed by the individual laboratories, and secondly, to utilize the heterogeneous background and diverse knowledge for synergetic effects.
Our scientific research is oriented in the following topics whereat widely competitive results may be expected:
- Development of new methodologies for domain-specific languages
- Inference about the context-free grammars
- Heuristic approaches in graphics and geometric modelling
- 3D and 4D compression of graphic and geometric data
- Introduction of the Internet personalisation systems and vertical services
- Decomposition of complex signals in the cases with less measurements than sources
- Analysis of magnetic resonance and ultrasound medical images
- Development of virtual environments for training and education
The group as a whole tends to take advantage of its complementary knowledge and synergy for the development of intelligent Internet services. We are going to construct a backbone with common vertical services, which will be used by the intelligent solutions with different, aforementioned topics. The system of intelligent services will be publicly accessible and will be developed throughout the existence of the programme group, according to our own expectation and design as well as according to the interaction with the users.
Significance for science
Scientific research in this program is focused to the area of computer science and information technologies, with important past results obtained in the field of computer graphics, programming technologies with domain-specific languages, multivariate analysis of compound signals, computer vision and multimedia, data compression, and distributed and web systems with intelligent services. Scientific work of the programme members has been published in many of the most prestigious scientific and academic journals. In particular, we have to emphasize a cutting edge in the development of domain-specific languages which culminated by a highly cited paper in ACM Computing Surveys, number one journal in this research field. Equal importance can be attributed to a novel approach for the decomposition of compound signals and its application in surface electromyography. First publication of the approach in 2004 was accompanied by an editorial stating that this meant a real breakthrough in processing of surface electromyograms. The method has been proved in the meantime a very powerful tool for finding new physiological facts by recent publications in 2008 and 2009. Very influential results have also been achieved in the research of differential evolution. This new paradigm was published in the journal ranking number two in the field of artificial intelligence. The findings in the fields of surface flattening, compression of voxel data and analysis of medical ultrasound images were also recognised by the scientific community, which resulted in several cited publications and joint international projects. The latter is in particular related to a remarkable success of young researchers of this research program when applying for post-doctoral projects in the European framework program schemes and American funds.
Significance for the country
Accomplished research and development activities influenced the Slovenian companies and society a great deal, which can be seen from 78 development and applied projects conducted by the members of the research program in the past period. Among the most important, new electronic services can be mentioned, such as geographical information system built for the Ministry of Agriculture, digital libraries for several institutions and municipalities, and multimedia solutions for teaching various topics, e.g. for the Slovenian Directorate for Protection and Rescue. Several projects were completed to help develop public and institutional management and e-services, beside the abovementioned geographical systems and digital libraries, also for ecological activities with modelling, designing, and arranging the country sides, cultural heritage with an upgraded e-dictionary of the Slovenian language, and all together for the promotion of Slovenia. At the same time, we introduced new programming technologies and domain-specific languages that greatly mitigated software development. This manifests in enhanced collaboration with software developers in the central and eastern regions of Slovenia. The research program is founded at the university, which means that the majority of its members is involved in teaching different topics in computer science and information technologies. Sustainable contributions to profession, engineering practice, and education belong, therefore, to their basic activities. Several excellent international placements and awards of our students in scientific and applied worldwide competitions prove our work is serving its purpose.
