Evening Seminar
1715-1745 (tea) (MAL B04)1745-1900 (seminar) (MAL B36)	A special seminar in collaboration with BCS-FACS and the UK Safety-Critical Systems Club.Robin Bloomfield, City University, London, and Adelard “Interdependencies and Resilient Infrastructure“Interdependencies are central to delivering resilience and also a potential source of vulnerability and risk. This talk will examine the challenges posed by the need to understand and evaluate the resilience of infrastructures. The talk will draw on a study on interdependencies for the TSB, CPNI and EPSRC in which we consulted a wide a range of Critical National Infrastructure stakeholders and reviewed research specific to modelling, analyzing and understanding dependencies. The study identified the state-of-the-art and the government and industry requirements for tools and services. It concluded with a strategy aiming to bridge the gaps between the capabilities and requirements, where this was identified as currently feasible. CSR was also a partner in the EU IRRIIS project and we have been building and experimenting with a range of models based on deterministic service models and stochastic activity nets. I will summarise some of the lessons from developing a model of central Rome’s power and telecommunications infrastructures and, in the light of the policy and strategy context, discuss the importance of intangible ‘soft’ infrastructures and the potential contribution from the safety and computer science communities in the interdisciplinary challenges Registration: There is no charge for attending this meeting, but please indicate your attendance by ticking the appropriate box on the registration form.

 

 

 

SERENE 2010 Workshop
0830-0930 / (MAL 153)	Registration and Refreshments
0930-1030 / (MAL 153)	Welcome & Invited Lecture Chair: Giovanna di Marzo Serugendo Andreas Roth, SAP Research Darmstadt, Germany “Making Formal Methods attractive – Experiences from business application development” There are different reasons which make the application of Formal Methods attractive in different industrial sectors. We will look at the use of Formal Methods specifically in the Business Application domain and the special requirements which Formal Methods need to meet there. We will illustrate these requirements through concrete experiences gathered in the DEPLOY project. These include the deep integration of Formal Methods in the current working environment of developers, as for instance in domain specific languages. We highlight selected research challenges which arise from this approach and which still need to be solved.

0930-1030 / (MAL 153)	Invited Lecture Chair: John Fitzgerald Alan F T Winfield, Bristol Robotics Lab Swarm Engineering: a bio-inspired approach to resilient multi-robot systems (Download Slide: SLIDES) Swarm robotics is a new approach to multi-robot systems in which control is completely decentralised and distributed. Inspired by the self-organising collective behaviours of social insects each robot has a simple set of behaviours with local sensing and communications. The overall desired system behaviours emerge from the local interactions between robots, and between robots and their environment. The promise of swarm robotics is that it offers the potential of highly adaptable, scalable and resilient systems, able to tolerate the failure of many individual robots without loss of overall system (i.e. swarm) functionality. Significant engineering challenges, however, are firstly how to design the emergent, self-organising properties of the swarm, and secondly how to assure safe and dependable operation. This talk will introduce swarm robotics, illustrating the state-of-the-art with respect to current research, both within the Bristol Robotics Lab and elsewhere. We will discuss the remarkable potential of robot swarms to a very wide range of applications, and the challenges that will need to be overcome before real-world robot swarms become a reality.
