Keynote Speaker-1, Day-1 Deep Learning
Computer for Modern Simulation & Modelling
Prof Frank Wang
Head of School of Computing, University of Kent
Canterbury, UK
Chair, IEEE Computer Society, UKRI Chapter
Email: frankwang@ieee.org
Deep learning
was inspired by the 1981 Nobel Prize work by David H. Hubel & Torsten Wiesel, who found a cascading model in the human
brain. We are building a computer that works similarly to the human brain and
could be useful for modern simulation and modelling. Most of previous efforts
to build brain-like computers have failed because it took about the same
silicon area to emulate a CMOS synapse as that needed to emulate a neuron. In
theory, any realistic implementation of a synapse should ideally be at least
four orders of magnitude smaller than that required to build a neuron. The
invention of the memristor opens a new way to
implement synapses. A memristor is a simple
2-terminal element, which means a vast number of memristors
could be integrated together with other CMOS elements, in a brain-like
machine.

Keynote
Speaker-2 Big Data
and System Simulation for Analysis and Decision Support in Health Care
Systems Dr Nikolas
Popper Director DEXHELPP, Decision Support for Health Policy
and Planning, Vienna. Coordinator, Centre for Computational Complex
Systems, TU Wien. CSO dwh GmbH, Simulation
Services and Technical Solutions, Vienna. National
health systems invest annually more billions of Euros (or Dollars). While the
demand for health services increases (as a result of demographic change), the
resources are limited. This creates a need for the development of new
methods, models and technologies in order to support the analysing, planning
and controlling of health care systems. Up to now decision support in health
care systems is mainly based on the evidence of studies, that have a smaller
range and not on the analysis of big data sets. But quantity and quality of
available data strongly increases and therefore facilitates the description
and analysis of all areas in health care systems. To
provide state of the art Health Technology Assessment (HTA), Comparative
Effectiveness Research (CER) and Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) we will need
to combine health system domain knowledge, knowledge of professional data
processes and, last but not leas, mathematical
modelling & simulation skills. The areas of data security & data
management, big data analysis, machine and deep learning, statistical
methods, mathematical modelling & simulation and visualisation as well as
public health & decision analytics modelling should help us to transform
Big Data into Deep D ata: evidence based,
reproducible knowledge. To
bring together all technologies still is a huge challenge. Data Based
Demographic models have to be combined with analysis and models for the
spreading of diseases. Time dependent treatment paths have to be parametrized
with data sets from clinical routine joined with large scale health system
data. From the system simulation point of view an important aspect is the
possibility to implement changes inside the system, like interventions inside
the computer model, and to analyse their effects. N. Popper tries to point
out how big interdisciplinary teams will handle the complex processes in the
future and which methods are and arenot promising. Biography
He co-invented the award
winning Master College for Applied Modelling, Simulation and Decision Making
at TU Wien and the award winning blended learning courses in basic maths at
the same university. He worked as science editor and journalist and
co-founded two successful companies, the production company drahtwarenhandlung for scientific films, data journalism
and computer animation and the R&D company dwh
GmbH for technical solutions and simulation services, dedicated to develop
new and innovative pipelines from the basic idea for a data driven analysis
up to a ready for market solution. Niki Popper is married and is
father of two children. |

Keynote
Speaker-3, Day-2 Dynamic Interpolative
Modelling and its Application to Network Security Prof Qiang Shen Director, Institute of
Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science Aberystwyth University,
Wales, UK. Email: qqs@aber.ac.uk Application of fuzzy rule-based interpolative
(FRI) modelling has been escalating for making intelligent systems viable in
solving many challenging real-world problems. However, requirements of such
systems may change over time and the supporting static rule models may not be
able to provide accurate interpolation results in the long run. Dynamic fuzzy
rule interpolation (D-FRI) offers a potential solution to such problems. A
particular application is for network security that is often one of the
biggest concerns of any organisation irrespective of their size and nature of
business. Intrusion detection systems (IDSs) are a popular
and effective security tool for generating alerts to network administrators,
in order to inform against possible or existing threats. A standard IDS may
be not very effective or even unsuitable for an organisational requirements
over a sustained period. This talk will present an application of D-FRI for
building an effective IDS. In particular, it will introduce an intelligent
IDS that is built upon the most popular open source IDS, Snort via
integration with D-FRI. The talk will illustrate how the integration of D-FRI
with Snort provides an additional level of intelligence in predicting
possible threats. This integration also facilitates dynamic modelling, in
terms of a dynamic fuzzy rule base, by promoting new rules based on the
current network traffic conditions, helping Snort to reduce both false
positives and false negatives. The talk will also cover other applications of
D-FRI in network security and thoughts for further development.

Keynote
Speaker-4 Simulation Strategies for
Tissue Photonics Prof Kelvin
Donne University of Wales Trinity Saint David Swansea Campus, Mount Pleasant Swansea SA1 6ED kelvin.donne@uwtsd.ac.uk Light-based medical devices are used in a diverse
range of diagnostic and therapeutic modalities, both within the clinical
context and increasingly for home-based use. Of critical concern to
manufacturers of these devices is the requirement to understand the
underlying processes and especially the need to optimise the energy delivery,
both spectrally and temporally. This paper will consider the simulation techniques
available for modelling both the bio-chemical and thermal effects induced
when light is incident on human tissue. Deterministic and probabilistic
schemes for solving the Radiation Transfer Equation for low-energy photons
will be considered, as well as methods for solving the time-dependent thermal
diffusion equation. Optimisation studies require fast parallel
implementations of the algorithms, which include the Monte Carlo method and
Boundary Element Method and three approaches to parallelisation will be
presented. Clinical contexts will include fluorescence detection of basal
cell carcinomas, and depilation of hair follicles.
Biography Kelvin Donne is now Professorial Fellow at the
University of Wales Trinity Saint David and was previously Faculty Dean and
Associate Pro Vice Chancellor. He has published over 70
papers and has supervised over 20 PhD students mainly in the area of
computational physics. His main areas of research are tissue photonics and
automotive glass fracture. |
