IRES: U.S.-Czech Network Centric Intelligent System: Drexel and Czech Technical University

OISE 0930785 Regli该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。捷克学生国际研究经验计划（IRES）将费城德雷克塞尔大学的合作伙伴与布拉格的捷克技术大学（CTU）的合作伙伴联系起来。由William Regli和Rachel Greenstadt领导的美国团队将人工智能，无线网络，隐私和安全方面的专业知识与捷克合作伙伴一起开展为期三年的合作计划，这些合作伙伴在多智能体系统和元推理方面具有互补优势。 在布拉格，IRES计划将由反恐组控制论部门的迈克尔·佩乔切克领导。这些美国和捷克导师的共同目标是为代理通信领域做出贡献，同时为他们指导的研究生和本科生提供早期职业研究经验，以设计能够容忍严重中断和干扰的系统。在合作的IRES过程中，美国-捷克团队将整合他们目前在新兴通信和协作智能系统方面的三个研究领域，为学生项目提供广泛而有前途的新课题。重点领域包括：1）受限环境中的代理通信，2）多代理系统的度量，以及3）多代理系统的设计模式。总的来说，研究人员和学生的共同努力，预计将有助于改善以网络为中心的智能系统。 这个跨学科的IRES在工程和计算机科学实现了推进科学知识和吸引学生的计划目标，使美国和欧洲的专家能够联合收割机互补的人才，并在强烈的共同利益和能力的领域共享研究资源。 更广泛的影响包括美国初级研究人员的早期职业介绍，包括妇女和少数民族学生，国际研究界的专家参与了基于代理的系统的设计以及创新建模。 这一平衡良好的美国-捷克IRES计划有望提高移动的基于代理的计算性能。

OISE 0930785RegliThis award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This U.S.-Czech program for International Research Experiences for Students (IRES) links partners from Drexel University in Philadelphia with counterparts from Czech Technical University (CTU) in Prague. The U.S. team, led by William Regli and Rachel Greenstadt, brings expertise in artificial intelligence, wireless networks, privacy and security to a three-year collaborative program with Czechs partners who have complementing strengths in multi-agent systems and meta-reasoning. In Prague, the IRES program will be headed by Michael Pechoucek, in the CTU Department of Cybernetics. These U.S. and Czech mentors share the goal of contributing to the field of agent communications while providing the graduate and undergraduate students they mentor with early career research experience in design of systems that are tolerant of severe disruptions and interference. During the course of the collaborative IRES, the US-Czech team will integrate three areas of their current research in emerging communication and collaborative intelligent systems to provide broad and promising new topics for student projects. The focus areas include: 1) agent communication in constrained environments, 2) metrics on multi-agent systems, and 3) design patterns for multi-agent systems. Overall, the combined efforts of researchers and students are expected to contribute to improvements in network centric intelligent systems. This interdisciplinary IRES in engineering and computer science fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge and engaging students by enabling experts in the United States and Europe to combine complementary talents and share research resources in areas of strong mutual interest and competence. Broader impacts include early career introduction of U.S. junior researchers, including women and minority students, to experts in the international research community who are involved in the design of agent based systems as well as innovative modeling. The results of this well balanced U.S.-Czech IRES program are expected to enhance performance in mobile agent-based computing.
