INVITED KEYNOTE SPEECH – 1
Monday, July 6, 9:00-10:00 / ROOM 1
Sukarno J. Mertoguno
Office of Naval Research, USA
Title: Symbiotic Statistical and Formal Reasoning
Abstract:
The speech will provide a broad overview of research sponsored by ONR related to cyber security and
complex software. Emphasis will be given to new concepts for symbiotic integration of formal rule-
based and statistical-based machine learning and reasoning.
Real-time autonomy is a key element for system which closes the loop between observation,
interpretation, planning, and action, commonly found in UxV, robotics, smart vehicle technologies,
automated industrial machineries, and ONR’s autonomic computing. Real-time autonomic cyber
system requires timely and accurate decision making and adaptive planning. Autonomic decision
making understands its own state and the perceived state of its environment. It is capable of
anticipating changes and future states and projecting the effects of actions into future states.
Understanding of current state and the knowledge/model of the world are needed for extrapolating
actions and deriving action plans. Humans have gut-feeling (fast and shallow reasoning, and reflexive
actions) and deliberative thinking (slower and deeper reasoning, and deliberate actions). Models of
how these two systems of intelligence interact with each other have been proposed for human decision-
making, e.g., the two-systems model by Daniel Kahneman. These interacting models could inspire
approaches for machine reasoning in autonomic cyber and cyber-physical systems. Methods are being
developed for merging statistical inference and formal reasoning by merging their knowledge a unified
representation. An alternative method ONR is promoting, took the direction where statistical inference
and formal reasoning systems live side-by-side and interact, prompt, inform and correct each other.
Integration of statistical inference and formal reasoning should be done in such a way to allow each of
the methods to independently and semi-redundantly but synergistically cooperate and potentially
enrich each other’s knowledge base (cross fertilization).

Wednesday, July 8, 9:00-10:00 / ROOM 1
Yannis Manolopoulos, Professor, Department of Informatics of the
Aristotle University of Thessaloniki
Title: Skyline Queries: an introduction
Abstract:
A case of preference queries that have attracted significant interest are the skyline queries, which have
been used in several multi-criteria decision support applications. Given a dominance relationship in a
dataset, a skyline query returns the objects that cannot be dominated by any other object. Skyline
queries have been studied extensively in multidimensional spaces, in subspaces, in high-dimensional
spaces, in metric spaces, in dynamic spaces, in streaming environments, and in time-series data.
Several algorithms have been proposed for skyline query processing: window-based, progressive,
distributed, geometric-based, index-based, divide-and-conquer, and dynamic programming
algorithms. Moreover, several variations of skyline queries have been proposed to solve application-
specific problems like: k-dominant skylines, top-k dominating queries, spatial skyline queries, and
others. As the number of objects that are returned in a skyline query may become large, there is also
an extensive study for the cardinality of skyline queries. We have studied the cardinality of skyline
and top-k dominating queries in multi-dimensional data, and we have proposed formulae for the
estimation of their cardinality. This extensive research depicts the importance of skyline queries and
their variations in modern applications.

Stratis Kanarachos
Coventry University, UK
Title: Anomaly detection methods and applications in transportation
Abstract:
The last decade we have experienced a boom in sensor utilization and information collection. Sensors
and data acquisition systems have become cheap and widely available. Smartphones equipped with
sensors are being used almost everywhere. At the same the Internet of Things made possible to connect
devices, machines and structures through a network and exchange information between them. Of
particular significance is the timely and accurate exchange of safety critical information such as the
detection of damage or of abnormal operating conditions. The applications are vast, just to mention a
few: transportation, structural health monitoring, medicine, power distribution, economics. The normal
behaviour of machines and structures is described by data that follow regular time patterns.
Conversely, abnormal behaviour disturbs regularity and causes deviations from the regular time
pattern. Most of the anomaly detection algorithms proposed up to now are based on specific experts’
knowledge of the domain of interest. What becomes slowly and increasingly important is the
development of generic and widely applicable anomaly detection tools. In this presentation, we will
provide an overview of applications and methods used for this purpose.

Title: Object Oriented Interfaces for Mobile Databases.
Presenter: Efthimios Alepis, Department of Informatics,
University of Piraeus, Greece.
Abstract
Mobile Applications and mobile services have been growing at a five-year compounded annual growth
rate of more than 25%. Benefits by using and/or incorporating mobile technologies in software
engineering include social, economic and educational gains. However, the swift growth of new
software technologies and their corresponding services keeps in pace with new challenges in these
scientific fields. As a result, new approaches try to resolve the resulting problems and at the same time
give more potential and robustness to next generation software applications.
This tutorial will introduce participants to the incorporation of both local and remote mobile databases
and particularly by using an Object Oriented architectural approach. During the tutorial some basic
mobile apps will be created and as a next step the resulting apps will be tested on an emulator and on
a real smartphone. We will make an introduction in SQLite local databases and in remote MySQL
databases. Our main focus will be in the Eclipse IDE and in the Android Operating System.

Title: From Game Theory to Complexity, Emergence and Agent-Based
Modeling in World Politics
Presenter: John A. Paravantis
University of Piraeus, Greece.
Abstract:
This tutorial will examine the complexity of world politics with an emphasis on global environmental
issues. Concepts of game theory will be reviewed and connected to the state of international relations
(IR). Game theoretic models found in IR include the prisoner’s dilemma; game theoretic models
encountered in global environmental negotiations include the conflict between rich North and poor
South countries, the role of pollution havens and the clash of idealists versus pragmatists as well as
optimists versus pessimists. It will be suggested that the complexity of world politics, taking place on
a highly interconnected global network of actors organized as agents and meta-agents, is nothing but
a multiplayer extension of game theory although a complexity approach to world politics cannot be
regarded as a theory alternative to realism, but as a relatively novel research tool to aid with
understanding and anticipating (rather than predicting) global events. Technology, interconnections,
feedback and individual empowerment will be discussed in the context of the complex world of global
politics. Furthermore, evolution and adaptation will be related to the concept of fitness and how it may
be estimated for the case of actors in world politics. It will be suggested that many events of world
politics constitute emergent phenomena of the complex international community of state and non-state
actors. The tutorial will be complemented with a short overview of concepts related to agent-based
modeling (ABM), arguably the most prevalent method of simulating complex systems, and a review
of research problems from the fields of social science, political science, defense, world politics and the
global environment that have been successfully addressed with agent-based simulation. A list of
software resources useful to those who wish to address global problems with agent-based modeling
will be presented with examples programmed in a procedurial language and Netlogo. The main
conclusion will be that world politics may be considered a complex adaptive system (CAS) with states
being modelled as complex adaptive actors, i.e. agents, and international organizations such as the
United Nations or the EU being meta-agents. Understanding the system rules may be an important
aspect of analyzing the international system of states as a CAS by resorting to theoretical and ABM
tools in tandem.

Title: New Trends in Virtual Reality and Augmented Visualization
Presenter: Lucio Tommaso De Paolis
Augmented and Virtual Reality Laboratory (AVR Lab)
Dept. of Engineering for Innovation
University of Salento, Italy
Abstract
Virtual Reality (VR) technology permits the creation of realistic-looking worlds where the user inputs
are used to modify in real time the digital environment. Interactivity and captivating power contribute
to the feeling of immersion in the virtual world, of being part of the action that the user experiences. It
is not only possible to see and manipulate the virtual objects, but also to feel and touch them using
specific devices.
The last few years have witnessed scientific advances in virtual reality, allowing virtual training
environments to get closer and closer to reality. Interesting learning situations can emerge with free
interaction in these simulated realities. In addition, the integration of pedagogical functions and
motivational aspects as in serious gaming and interactive storytelling, offers new possibilities for
training and allows the creation of relevant situations on the learning level.
Mixed Reality (MR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies permit the real-time fusion of
computer-generated digital contents with the real world and allow the creation of fascinating new types
of user interfaces. Augmented reality enhances the users' perception and improves their interaction in
the real environment. The virtual objects, displaying information that they cannot directly detect with
their own senses, help them to perform real-world tasks better.
Unlike the virtual reality technology that completely immerses users inside a synthetic environment
where they cannot see the real world around them, augmented reality technology allows to see 3-
dimensional virtual objects superimposed upon the real environment. Therefore, AR supplements
reality rather than completely replacing it; the user is under the impression that the virtual and real
objects coexist in the same space.
Many applications of VR and MR/AR technologies have been developed in different fields (medicine,
education, arts and cultural heritage, entertainment, military, and manufacturing). Recently, new
concepts such as Natural User Interfaces and Mobile Immersion have emerged and permit to combine
AR/MR technologies with new mobile human machine interfaces. Consequently, mobile immersion
will allow users to move away from purely physical communication mode to a mixed/augmented
reality communication, interaction and collaboration mode. Interactions will be natural and
augmentations will become ubiquitous.
11
The tutorial will present a review of current VR and AR technologies and will introduce to the
development and building of virtual environments and simulators. VR and AR applications in
medicine and surgery, cultural heritage, education and games will be described.
The aim of this tutorial is to bring a community of researchers from academia and industry, computer
scientists, engineers, physicians together in order to share points of views and emerging impressions
on the present applications of virtual reality and augmented reality technologies and discuss benefits
and limitations.

and in industry over the last few decades, and it has opened the way to build and test (recently)
autonomously driven robotic cars which can negotiate the complexity and uncertainties introduced by
real outdoor urban and suburban environments. Our tutorial will start with a description of a very
popular and successful family of path planning algorithms, namely Rapidly-exploring Random Trees
(RRT). After discussing the great variety and modifications proposed for the basic RRT algorithm, we
turn our focus to versions which can address highly dynamic environments, and they have to be able
to take in account the constraints imposed by the Non-holonomic type of movement allowable for car-
like mobile robots. Finally, will conclude with some remarks and thoughts about the current state of
research and possible future developments.

Title: Towards Smart Energy Systems: An overview of existing tools and
future challenges
Presenter: Miltos Alamaniotis
School of Nuclear Engineering, Purdue University, USA
Abstract
This tutorial will present an overview of smart energy systems, and the challenges imposed in
developing smart energy technologies. Recent advancements in machine intelligence aim to address
challenges in diverse area of complex system engineering and its applications, such as advanced power
system safety. The data generated in these applications increases exponentially due to the penetration
of modern information technologies (internet) as well as their sensitive nature and need for accurate
and fast data processing and analysis. For instance, power systems and grids are monitored 24/7 by a
variety of different sensors aiming at predicting or diagnosing operational malfunctions. In such
environment, the limitations of human operators to follow and interpret the huge volume of data offer
opportunities for machine intelligence solutions to support effective and fast decision making.
Artificial intelligence tools such as fuzzy logic and artificial neural networks have been successfully
employed in the area of energy system control and safety. For example, in smart power systems
intelligent tools can reliably identify faults and estimate the remaining system life, while computational
intelligence methods are shown to accurately predict future electricity load demand as well as pricing
signals that may be used to direct demand at the level of appliances and devices in smart grids. An
overview of existing tools regarding advanced smart power systems will be presented and implications
for future research activities and challenges will be discussed.

Title: Advances in Adaptive Learning Using Fuzzy Logic in Student Model
Presenter: Konstantina Chrysafiadi
University of Piraeus, Greece
Abstract
In the past decade, there has been an enormous growth of the field of computer-based learning which
includes e-learning, mobile learning, educational games and standalone educational applications.
However, e-learning systems present several shortcomings, with regard to adaptivity problems, when
are compared to real-classroom education. Web-based educational systems offer easy access to
knowledge domains and learning processes from everywhere for everybody and at any time. As a
result, users of web-based educational systems are of varying backgrounds and they have
heterogeneous needs and abilities. Consequently, the challenge is to develop Web-based educational
systems that adapt dynamically to each individual student for effective delivery of the knowledge
domain.
A focus on the student model is essential for constructing an adaptive learning system that meets
students’ requirements. This tutorial will present important information about student modeling.
Initially, this tutorial will be referred to student modeling techniques and approaches that have been
used the past decade. Then, a novel student modeling approach including fuzzy logic techniques will
be presented. The presented student model maximizes the effectiveness of learning and contributes,
significantly, to the adaptation of the learning process to the learning pace of each individual learner.
It models either how learning progresses or how the student’s knowledge can be decreased, helping
the e-learning system to discover if the student learns or not, if s/he forgets, if s/he has difficulties in
understanding, if s/he assimilates the delivered knowledge. In other words, this tutorial will explain
how fuzzy logic can be used to automatically model the learning or forgetting process of a student.
Also, the particular tutorial will present the implementation of the presented fuzzy student model in a
web-based programming tutoring system that teaches the programming language ‘C’.
