RTD PROJECTS

The Strengthening Weight of Evidence for FET data to replace acute Fish Toxicity (SWiFT) project has received funding through the Long-range Research Initiative (LRI) of THE EUROPEAN CHEMICAL INDUSTRY COUNCIL (Cefic) http://cefic-lri.org/.

The role of HUGIN in SWiFT is to deliver technology for Bayesian networks and to lead the development of the web-site interface to the Bayesian network model.

Beskrivelse af idé

Formålet med dette projekt er at udvikle en software-prototype til at understøtte vagtplanlægningen på akutmodtagelsen ved Aalborg Universitetshospital (Aalborg UH) med henblik på at sikre en bedre balance mellem kapacitet og behov. Projektets målsætning er bedre patientforløb med øget patientsikkerhed og reduceret ventetid, bedre udnyttelse af de økonomiske ressourcer og et bedre arbejdsmiljø for medarbejderne.

Vagtplanlægning på akutmodtagelsen ved Aalborg Universitetshospital er en kompliceret opgave. For at opretholde et effektivt sundhedsvæsen samt sikre en høj grad af patientsikkerhed i akutmodtagelsen er det nødvendigt, at vagtplanlægningen sikrer, at det nødvendige antal medarbejdere er tilstede, når det kræves. Tilsvarende er det vigtigt ikke at have overbemanding i perioder med mindre aktivitet for at sikre en økonomisk effektiv udnyttelse af ressourcerne. Projektet sigter mod at understøtte vagtplanlægning ved at forudsige patientstrømme på baggrund af data samt viden og erfaring.

Projektet bygger på en ny anvendelse af eksisterende teknologi (kendt som Bayesianske netværk) på forskellige videns-, erfarings- og datakilder samt udvikling af ny software til at understøtte vagtplanlægningen. Tilgangen er unik i forhold til at kombinere data med eksisterende viden og erfaring til at lave bedre forudsigelser af patientstrømme. Resultatet af projektet vil være en softwareprototype, der vil kunne anvendes af Aalborg UH og som vil være parat til markedstest.

HUGIN participates in CytoCam, a project under the Eurostars-EUREKA Programme. CytoCam aims to reduce the number of people who fall ill due to Campylobacter infected chickens through the development of an innovative feed additive from transgenic barley seeds. The feed additive contains a bioactive protein that can significantly reduce the 3-log Campylobacter count in the chicken gut. HUGIN will create a cost/reward decision-making application that can demonstrate the benefits of the feed to farmers.

IST-2001-34508 project, fifth framework

As Autonomous Vehicles are currently undergoing a transition from a research tool to real application, they are expected to work more reliably and safely.

The aim of ADVOCATE II is to design and develop an architecture to increase the performance of unmanned underwater and ground robotic applications.

The objectives are to increase the safety for the system itself as well as the environment, to increase automation and to increase efficiency and reliability of the system. The main objective is to have a better management of uncertainty in robots by the use of intelligent diagnosis and control software, but without too specific non-reusable developments.

ESPRIT 4 Project 28584 ADVanced On-board diagnosis and Control of semi-Autonomous mobile sysTEms (ADVOCATE)

Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) need to become more and more intelligent to avoid inopportune mission abortion and to perform more complex operations. ADVOCATE introduces artificial intelligence for diagnosis, recovery and re-planning, by merging different techniques into UUVs. To avoid too specific non-reusable developments, ADVOCATE is based on a distributed architecture (CORBA norm), and a generic communication protocol between the different modules.

The SERENE project produced a decision support method, with a supporting tool, for quantifying safety of complex systems using Bayesian Networks. The method helps safety analysts and engineers combine diverse forms of evidence together in order to predict safety or risk at any stage in the development life-cycle.

The method has now been applied in a number of case studies, as part of the project itself, and in a number of commercial projects.

EMG – Knowledge-Based Assistant for Electromyography

The aim of the EMG project was to develop a knowledge-based assistant to support physicians in all stages of an electromyographical (EMG) examination of patients with neurological diseases. The objective was to produce a system sufficiently robust to withstand clinical trials in a neurophysiological laboratory. An expert system shell based on causal-probabilistic reasoning, HUGIN, has been developed and is now available on the market.

HUGIN EXPERT A/S is a spin-off from this project.
