1. TU/e IPA Herfstdagen 2004 Intelligent Algorithms Introduction Mark de Berg TU Eindhoven

2. TU/e IPA Herfstdagen 2004: Intelligent Algorithms IPA agenda 2002 — 2006:  Intelligent Algorithms  Security  Networked embedded systems  Compositional programming methods The modern information society: integrated or interconnected systems operating in and interacting with a changing environment

3. TU/e IPA Herfstdagen 2004: Intelligent Algorithms Intelligent algorithms  always on (operates continuously)  aware of and interacts with environment  adaptive: behavior changes over time Traditional algorithms  single shot (operates at discrete times)  unaware of and not interacting with environment  static: behavior is fixed algorithm input output algorithm environment

4. TU/e IPA Herfstdagen 2004: Intelligent Algorithms Intelligent algorithms  always on  aware  adaptive algorithm environment how to deal with continuous input? need to understand and model the environment how to quantify efficiency? need to learn from results of previous actions need to predict reactions of the environment adapt to changing environment

5. TU/e IPA Herfstdagen 2004: Intelligent Algorithms  always on  aware  adaptive how to deal with continuous input? understand and model environment how to quantify efficiency? learn from results predict reactions of the environment Monday  learning in robots, agents, and homes Tuesday  ambient intelligence  recommender systems  quality of experience  bio-informatics  data mining PROGRAM HERFSTDAGEN learn from results predict reactions of the environment understand and model environment adapt to changing environment

6. TU/e IPA Herfstdagen 2004: Intelligent Algorithms  always on  aware  adaptive how to deal with continuous input? understand and model environment how to quantify efficiency? learn from results predict reactions of the environment Wednesday  data mining  ad-hoc and sensor networking SOCIAL EVENT Thursday  agents in economic games Friday  human-algorithm interaction  semantic web PROGRAM HERFSTDAGEN predict reactions of the environment understand and model environment adapt to changing environment
