Seminar: Domain Specific Model Engineering by the example of Ambient Assistance
Seminario: Domain Specific Model Engineering by the example of Ambient Assistance
Date: 2/11/2017 Time: 11:00
Location: DSIC Conference Room
Estimated duration: 3h
Content:
Models are the fundamental human instruments for managing complexity and under-standing. As such they play a key role in any scientific and engineering discipline as well as in everyday life. Many modeling paradigms evolved over time in the various disciplines which lead to a huge variety of modeling languages, methods and tools. This in particular is true for Informatics, which is a modeling discipline per se, and since long tries to system-atize the realm of modeling by (1) clarifying the hierarchy of modeling layers like e.g. in MOF (meta object framework), (2) introducing ontological commitments into model hier-archies for a better semantical grounding, (3) harmonizing various modeling approaches to unified/universal ones, and (4) providing a framework for a systematic domain specific modeling method (DSMM) design where universal approaches fail. This lecture focuses on (4) and explains the concepts of domain specific model engineering using Ambient Assistance as an example domain. Ambient Assistance (AA) is a growing field in ICT: The range of applications is broad and covers everyday situations in private and business environments as well as support for people with special needs. Consequently, AA is challenging for computer scientists, software engineers and information technicians in both, research and application, with lots of questions to answer and technical solutions to find. Dealing with the support of humans, it is an interdisciplinary field affecting Psy-chology, Neurology, Medicine, Law, Philosophy, and others more. Models play a key role in AA systems as they are the integral means for data and knowledge acquisition, repre-sentation, evaluation and exchange between the various system components. Given the heterogeneous stakeholder community, these models have to be lean, focused on the field and intuitively to understand. That opens the arena for domain specific modeling lan-guages and methods. The lecture will start with a short introduction on the fundamentals of modeling, the vari-ous paradigms and the state-of-the art of modeling in Informatics. It then gives an over-view of methods and techniques used in current approaches to AA. From that, the role of models in AA as well as the requirements on appropriate modeling approaches are de-rived. Based hereon, a framework for developing a domain specific modeling method in-cluding modeling language design and tool development will be set out.

Seminar: Data-Driven Computational Mechanics
Seminar: Data-Driven Computational Mechanics
Date: 7/7/2017
Time: 9:00 h
Location: DIMM
Estimated duration: 3,5 hours
Content:
Traditionally, computational mechanics has been based on the use of certain mathematical equations that have been assumed capable of describing with sufficient precision physical phenomena that occur in nature, such as Hook’s law traditionally used in the field of computational mechanics for materials. like steel. However, there are many other materials in nature that do not conform at all to the behavior described by this law or any other formulated so far. Among them can be found soft tissues in the field of computational mechanics. This is just an example of situations in which we do not have mathematical equations that are capable of modeling physical behaviors. To solve this difficulty, Data-Driven Computational Mechanics proposes the use of experimental data and not models to perform the computational calculation of mechanical systems. This avoids the step of having to adjust mathematical models that are not capable of simulating the real behavior of the physical process.
Meeting with doctoral students / thesis directors
Type of activity: meeting with doctoral students / thesis directors
Date: 7/7/2017
Time: 12:30 h
Location: DIMM
Estimated duration: 2 hours
Content:
At the DIMM, doctoral theses are being carried out in various fields, among which the biomechanical simulation of tissues, implants, prostheses… on the one hand, and the dynamic simulation of railway systems on the other. All of this is normally analyzed by the Finite Element Method. In certain specific applications that our doctoral students face, it is difficult to adjust models that simulate real physical behaviors. Therefore, the sharing of students’ problems and concerns and the interaction with the visiting professor will serve as a boost to their careers as researchers.

Type of activity: discussion meeting with UPV doctoral students
Date: September 6th 2017
Time: 12:00-14:00h
Location: Meeting room of the Electronic Engineering department
Estimated duration: 2 hours
Content:
After the meeting sessions with teaching staff, a meeting session is proposed with UPV doctoral students who may be interested in collaborating in Dr. Irastorza’s lines of research and/or in mobility actions. In this session, Dr. Irastorza will present his current lines of research, the terms in which collaboration is proposed, and specific information on mobility actions. Likewise, it will collect the impressions and interests of the students in its proposals.
Coordination meetings with UPV faculty
Type of activity: coordination meetings with UPV faculty
Date: September 4 and 8, 2017
Time: 3:30 p.m.-6:30 p.m. (Monday the 4th), 9:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. (Friday the 8th)
Location: Participating faculty office
Estimated duration: 7 hours
Content:
Currently, Dr. Irastorza collaborates in several lines of research with UPV faculty, so the stay must also serve to have meetings with said faculty. Through these meetings, the aim would be to review the status of the work being worked on at that time, promote it and propose possible new lines of study.
Two meetings of this type are proposed, one at the beginning and another (of longer duration) at the end of the stay. The idea is that in the first the current topics are reviewed and in the second the continuation of the common work and/or new study topics are proposed, which will depend on the previous meetings held with teachers and students.
Bench experiment session
Type of activity: bench experiment session
Date: September 7th, 2017
Time: 9:00-18:00h
Location: Laboratory of the Biosignals and Radiological Imaging Engineering Group (2nd floor, Building 7F)
Estimated duration: 8 hours
Content:
The lines of research in which UPV faculty and Dr. Irastorza currently participate include bench experimentation. The experimentation sessions are carried out in laboratories of the UPV or the Institute of Physics of Liquids and Biological Systems, La Plata, Argentina (to which the guest researcher has access) depending on the technical resources that are necessary. Due to the distance that separates the two centers, only personnel from the same center are present in the experimentation sessions. It is interesting that during some experimentation sessions there were personnel from both centers, which would be possible with Dr. Irastorza’s stay.

Seminario: Indicators to evaluate social sciences and humanities
Date: 3-5 Oct. Time: 11h
Location: ETSINF assembly hall
Estimated duration: 6 h
Content:
During the seminar, the latest trends in research on the indicators that are applied to evaluate the scientific production of researchers will be presented, with special emphasis on social sciences and humanities. These fields are those covered in the Communication and Cultural Industries doctoral program. As is known, they suffer from their own idiosyncrasies that, although taken into account by evaluation and accreditation agencies, provoke the exploration of new methods and indicators since it is a field in which they are not fully consolidated.
