Dr. Louise Travé-Massuyès Bridge Task Group Leader (Fault Detection and Diagnosis) Task Group Page Louise Travé-Massuyès was born in July 1959, in Manresa, Spain. She received an Engineering Degree specialized in control, electronics and computer science in 1982 and a Ph.D. degree in control in 1984, both from the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées (INSA); Award from the Union des Groupements d'Ingenieurs de la Region Midi-Pyrénées; D.E.A. in control from Paul Sabatier University in 1982, all in Toulouse, France. She is currently a Research Director of the Centre National de Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), working at LAAS, Toulouse, France, in which she has led the "Qualitative Diagnosis, Supervision and Control" Group for several years. Her main research interests are in qualitative and model-based reasoning and applications to dynamic systems monitoring and diagnosis. Her current responsibilities include; Co-director of the European Laboratory LEA-SICA; Chairperson of the IEEE SMC Technical Committee on Qualitative Reasoning; member of the IFAC Safeprocess Technical Committee. She is a Senior Member of the IEEE Computer Society.
Dr. Bert Bredeweg Education and Training Task Group Leader Task Group Page This Task Group is led by Dr. Bert Bredeweg, of the University of Amsterdam. Bert Bredeweg has a research history in artificial intelligence and cognitive psychology. While working on the construction of software artefacts that are able to have a 'communicative interaction' with humans, particularly with learners, the need for knowledgeable problem solvers became clear. Among others, this focussed his research on the development and use of qualitative reasoning techniques as the basis for 'knowledge communication'. Recent research includes model-based diagnosis of learner behaviour, explanation, and learning by building qualitative simulations. The latter emphasises the notion of knowledge construction as an important aspect of learning. Dr. George Macleod Coghill Joint Bio-Medical Task Group Leader Task Group Page George Coghill has recently moved to Aberdeen University, where he is a lecturer. He previoously worked in the Department of Computer Science, University of Wales, Aberystwyth. His main research interests are Model-based and Qualitative Reasoning; specifically in the development of Fuzzy Qualitative Reasoning Systems, the use of multiple models in diagnosis and bio- informatics, and the methodologies of diagnosis. As a Physicist in the Department of Clinical Physics, University of Glasgow he researched the use of qualitative reasoning for simulating the behaviour of compartmental models of drug uptake. Within the Intelligent Systems Laboratory at Herriot-Watt University he worked on a number of model-based diagnosis projects where his interest in fuzzy qualitative reasoning developed, and in 1996 he was awarded a Ph.D for designing a framework for constraint based fuzzy qualitative reasoning. Latterly his research work was focused on the the use of multiple models for the diagnosis of dynamic systems and methodologies for diagnosis. Dr. Peter Lucas Joint Bio-Medical Task Group Leader Task Group Page Peter Lucas has recently moved to Nijmegen University and has interests such as 'Theory of model-based diagnosis' and 'Bayesian network and decision theory'. Professor Luca Console Automotive Task Group Leader Task Group Page Link Luca is currently Full Professor of Computer Science at the Università di Torino, his interests include Model-based Diagnosis, Abductive Reasoning, Temporal Reasoning and Adaptive systems.
