Model-based Engineering of Autonomous Systems using Ontologies and Metamodels

Our research focuses on engineering processes for autonomous intelligent systems construction with a life-cycle holistic view, by means of a model-based framework. The conceptual core of the framework is ontologically-driven. Our ontological approach consists of two elements. The first one is a domain Ontology for Autonomous Systems (OASys) to capture the autonomous system structure, function and behaviour. The second element is an Ontology-driven Engineering Methodology (ODEM) to develop the target autonomous system. This methodology is based on Model-based Systems Engineering and produces models of the system as core assets. These models are used through the whole system life-cycle, from implementation or validation to operation and maintenance. On the application side, the ontological framework has been used to develop a metacontrol engineering technology for autonomous systems, the OM Engineering Process (OMEP), to improve their runtime adaptivity and resilience. OMEP has been applied to a mobile robot in the form of a metacontroller built on top of the robot's control architecture. It exploits a functional model of the robot (TOMASys Model) to reconfigure its control if required by the situation at runtime. The functional model is based on a metamodel about controller function and structure using concepts form the ontology. The metacontroller was developed using the ontology-driven methodology and a robot control reference architecture

Ontology driven description and engineering of autonomous systems: application to process system engineering

Autonomous systems refer to systems capable of operating in a real world environment without any form of external control for extended periods of time. Autonomy is a desired goal for every system as it improves its performance, safety and profit. Ontologies are a way to conceptualize the knowledge of a specific domain. In this paper an ontology for the description of autonomous systems as well as for its development (engineering) is presented and applied to a process. This ontology is intended to be applied and used to generate final applications following a model driven methodology

Picolinic and Isonicotinic Acids: A Fourier Transform Microwave Spectroscopy Study

Producción CientíficaThe rotational spectra of laser ablated picolinic and isonicotinic acids have been studied using broadband chirped pulse (CP-FTMW) and narrowband molecular beam (MB-FTMW) Fourier transform microwave spectroscopies. Two conformers of picolinic acid, s-cis-I and s-cis-II, and one conformer of isonicotinic acid have been identified through the analysis of their rotational spectra. The values of the inertial defect and the quadrupole coupling constants obtained for the most stable s-cis-I conformer of picolinic acid, evidence the formation of an O–H···N hydrogen bond between the acid group and the endocyclic N atom. The stabilization provided by this hydrogen bond compensates the destabilization energy due to the adoption of a −COOH trans configuration in this conformer. Its rs structure has been derived from the rotational spectra of several 13C, 15N, and 18O species observed in their natural abundances. Mesomeric effects have been revealed by comparing the experimental values of the 14N nuclear quadrupole coupling constants in the isomeric series of picolinic, isonicotinic, and nicotinic acids.Junta de Castilla y León (programa de apoyo a proyectos de investigación – Ref.

Ontologies as Backbone of Cognitive Systems Engineering

Cognitive systems are starting to be deployed as appliances across the technological landscape of modern societies. The increasing availability of high performance computing platforms has opened an opportunity for statistics-based cognitive systems that perform quite as humans in certain tasks that resisted the symbolic methods of classic artificial intelligence. Cognitive artefacts appear every day in the media, raising a wave of mild fear concerning artificial intelligence and its impact on society. These systems, performance notwithstanding, are quite brittle and their reduced dependability limips their potential for massive deployment in mission-critical applications -e.g. in autonomous driving or medical diagnosis. In this paper we explore the actual possibility of building cognitive systems using engineering-grade methods that can assure the satisfaction of strict requirements for their operation. The final conclusion will be that, besides the potential improvement provided by a rigorous engineering process, we are still in need of a solid theory -possibly the main outcome of cognitive science- that could sustain such endeavour. In this sense, we propose the use of formal ontologies as backbones of cognitive systems engineering processes and workflows

Coexistence in the educational field: application of a program based on empathy, emotional education and resolution of conflict in a spanish institute of secondary education

La educación emocional y la resolución de conflictos son factores clave en la mejora del clima del aula. Así lo demuestra nuestra experiencia contextualizada en un centro de secundaria de la ciudad de Valencia (España) con un alto índice de expedientes sancionadores. La puesta en práctica, en dicho centro, de un programa de intervención y formación para entrenar las técnicas relacionadas con la educación emocional y la resolución pacífica de los conflictos ha supuesto una reducción significativa tanto en el número de expedientes como en la manera de afrontarlos traduciéndose en una mejora de la convivencia en el centro mediante un aumento de la Cultura de Mediación.Emotional education and conflict resolution are key factors in improving the classroom climate. This is demonstrated by our experience contextualized in a secondary school in the city of Valencia (Spain) with a high index of disciplinary proceedings. The implementation, in this center, of an intervention and training program to train the techniques related to emotional education and the peaceful resolution of conflicts has meant a significant reduction both in the number of disciplinary proceedings and in the way of dealing with them. in an improvement of coexistence in the center through an increase in the Culture of Mediation

¿Es posible un cambio de actitudes hacia un modelo de desarrollo sostenible?

En la presente investigación se pretende conseguir que unos estudiantes que, en líneas generales, siguen las líneas de un desarrollismo o de un conservacionismo, modifiquen su actitud hacia un modelo más cercano al desarrollo sostenible; para ello se realizan actividades basadas en un taller ambiental y en conocimientos que fomentan el desarrollo sostenible, obteniendo resultados diversos que combinan los conocimientos sobre ciencias sociales y economía con los ambientales. Para realizarlo, seleccionamos estudiantes de distintas etapas de secundaria con características y contextos diferentes. Surge así una idea del desarrollo sostenible múltiple según las situaciones y contextos

The Rotational Spectrum of Tyrosine

Producción CientíficaIn this work neutral tyrosine has been generated in the gas phase by laser ablation of solid samples, and its most abundant conformers characterized through their rotational spectra. Their identification has been made by comparison between the experimental and ab initio values of the rotational and quadrupole coupling constants. Both conformers are stabilized by an O–H•••N hydrogen bond established within the amino acid skeleton chain and an additional weak N–H•••π hydrogen bond. The observed conformers differ in the orientation of the phenolic −OH group.Junta de Castilla y León (programa de apoyo a proyectos de investigación – Ref. VA175U13

Engineering an Ontology for Autonomous Systems - The OASys Ontology

This paper describes the development of an ontology for autonomous systems, as the initial stage of a research programe on autonomous systems’ engineering within a model-based control approach. The ontology aims at providing a unified conceptual framework for the autonomous systems’ stakeholders, from developers to software engineers. The modular ontology contains both generic and domain-specific concepts for autonomous systems description and engineering. The ontology serves as the basis in a methodology to obtain the autonomous system’s conceptual models. The objective is to obtain and to use these models as main input for the autonomous system’s model-based control system
