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
Ubiquitous computing and intelligent services build on ever-more demanding approaches that process sets of signals and images from human living and business environment. Scientific research we conduct contributes new theoretical and practical grounds. Most prominent are the methods for the decomposition of compound signals. Highest-ranked is our convolution kernel compensation method (CKC) which can, the only in the world, decompose surface electromyograms even in dynamic contractions. Advanced decomposition has also been derived for fibre-optic and inertial signals acquired by unobtrusive sensors. Scientific community recognises the efficiency of our detection and recognition approaches in medical imaging. Most success was achieved by 2D and 3D-based reconstruction of ovarian follicles from ultrasound images. Differential evolution was used in the reconstruction of numerically coded procedural models from images of natural trees, which we improved this time with effective encoding of local auxiliary matrix parameters in a procedural model. Thus, we have significantly reduced the dimensionality of the challenge and also added a reconstruction on real trees from photographs of nature, where we automatically detected, extracted, and aligned the reference tree from a photo. We have also shown that it is possible using the reconstructed tree morphology to perform animation of tree sway in the wind and add different patterns of leaves for such tree. The use of Ellenberg ecological indicators in ForestMAS is an important novelty inside the succession models with a lot of potential for further development. Our research in the field of domain-specific languages has been internationally recognized at research level (high number of citations, Editor-In-Chief of Computer Languages, Systems and Structures journal) as well as at business level (we are currently in contacts with USA company about development of proprietary domain-specific language). Furthermore, our research already leads to competitive advantages of Slovenian software companies. We are collaborating with the successful company DEWESoft, where a domain-specific modeling language Sequencer has been developed, which is already successfully used by DEWESoft in measurement systems. The developed semantic and linguistic infrastructure can be used in research areas of text categorization, semantic search, recommendation systems and similar text detection systems.
Significance for the country
Progress of information and communication technologies and biomedical engineering was recognised strategically crucial for the development of Slovenia. We derived services that are based on innovation in the design of new devices, approaches, and algorithms in these fields. Highest relevance appertains to our unique system for decomposition surface electromyograms, which shows first commercial results. Its development depends on part Slovenian funding. A similar observation is valid for the system of unobtrusive sensors that assess human functional-health parameters in the living environment. Also our solutions in the field of ultrasound and X-ray imaging have been accepted by the Slovenian partners. The algorithm meta-GA for parameter control of neural network for fire analysis of steel frame enables the better modeling of steel behavior during fires and consequently improves fire protection building of objects in civil engineering. Interestinglly, steel exhibits very unusual wavy behavior which is a very difficult to model by a close form empirical models when heated to temperatures between 250° C and 600° C. Therefore, the empirical model was replaced with neural network and its parameters were tunned with the meta-GA. Planning the sports training sessions enable amateur and recreative athletes predicting the program of sports training sessions from data obtained with sportswatches during preparation on the more important competitions without expensive and usually busy trainers. Visualization of landscape changes obtained by ForestMAS simulator can make decisive influence on land use policy. The national infrastructure of open acces is a treasury of knowledge provided by Slovenian universities and other research institutions. We expect, that the nature of open availability of this content will improve the visibility and impact of Slovenian research activities.
