Propositional and Activity Monitoring Using Qualitative Spatial Reasoning

Propositional and Activity Monitoring Using Qualitative Spatial Reasoning Lane, Spencer Dale Communication is the key to effective teamwork regardless of whether the team members are humans or machines. Much of the communication that makes human teams so effective is non-verbal; they are able to recognize the actions that the other team members are performing and take their own actions in order to assist. A robotic team member should be able to make the same inferences, observing the state of the environment and inferring what actions are being taken. In this thesis I introduce a novel approach to the combined problem of activity recognition and propositional monitoring. This approach breaks down the problem into smaller sub-tasks. First, the raw sensor input is parsed into simple, easy to understand primitive semantic relationships known as qualitative spatial relations (QSRs). These primitives are then combined to estimate the state of the world in the same language used by most planners, planning domain definition language (PDDL) propositions. Both the primitives and propositions are combined to infer the status of the actions that the human is taking. I describe an algorithm for solving each of these smaller problems and describe the modeling process for a variety of tasks from an abstracted electronic component assembly (ECA) scenario. I implemented this scenario on a robotic testbed and collected data of a human performing the example actions. SM thesis

Sound and Complete Runtime Security Monitor for Application Software

Sound and Complete Runtime Security Monitor for Application Software Khan, M. Taimoor; Serpanos, Dimitrios; Shrobe, Howard We present a run-time security monitor that detects both known and unknown cyber attacks by checking that the run-time behavior of the application is consistent with the expected behavior modeled by an application specification. This is crucial because, even if the implementation is consistent with its specification, the application may still be vulnerable due to flaws in the supporting infrastructure. This run-time security monitor is sound and complete, eliminating false alarms, as well as efficient, so that it does not limit run-time application performance and so that it supports real-time systems. Importantly, this monitor is readily applicable to both legacy and new system platforms.The security monitor takes as input the application specification and the application implementation, which may be expressed in different languages. The security monitor detects attacks by systematically comparing the application execution and specification behaviors at run-time, even though they operate at two different levels of abstraction. We define the denotational semantics of the specification language and prove that the monitor is sound and complete, i.e. if the application is consistent with its specification, the security monitor will produce no false alarms (soundness) and that it will detect any deviation of the application from the behavior sanctioned by the specification language (completeness). Importantly, the application specification language enables the description of known or potential attack plans, enabling not only attack detection but attack characterization as well.

Map Making in C. elegans: Charting the Nervous System

Map Making in C. elegans: Charting the Nervous System Hobert, Oliver The developmental history and anatomy of the nematode C.elegans has been exceptionally well mapped. The next frontier lies in taking maps to the next level, that of molecular maps which define the identity and function of unique cell types. Defining molecular maps is in particularly high demand in the context of the nervous system. For example, the C.elegans connectome, which still remains the only connectome of any nervous system, begs the question how neurons communicate with one another. I will describe our efforts to build a comprehensive neurotransmitter map of the C.elegans nervous system and I will then use this neurotransmitter map to describe our efforts to provide “regulatory maps” which explain how neurotransmitter identity is genetically programmed and how this critical identity feature of a neuron is linked to other identity features of a neuron. The underlying vision that guides our research is to understand on a true system-wide level how a nervous system is built. Presented on December 12, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. in the Engineered Biosystems Building (EBB), room 1005.; Oliver Hobert is a Professor in the Columbia University Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics and an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and holds an Interdisciplinary Faculty position in the Department of Systems Biology. His laboratory studies the molecular mechanisms responsible for generating the remarkable diversity of cell types found in the nervous system. Using C. elegans as a model system, they have revealed the regulatory mechanisms that control terminal neuronal identity and demonstrated that these mechanisms are conserved in chordates. His lab has also developed a number of tools to analyze whole genome sequence data.; Runtime: 65:05 minutes

Oort: User-Centric Cloud Storage with Global Queries

Oort: User-Centric Cloud Storage with Global Queries Chajed, Tej; Gjengset, Jon; Kaashoek, M. Frans; Mickens, James; Morris, Robert; Zeldovich, Nickolai In principle, the web should provide the perfect stage for user-generated content, allowing users to share their data seamlessly with other users across services and applications. In practice, the web fragments a user's data over many sites, each exposing only limited APIs for sharing. This paper describes Oort, a new cloud storage system that organizes data primarily by user rather than by application or web site. Oort allows users to choose which web software to use with their data and which other users to share it with, while giving applications powerful tools to query that data. Users rent space from providers that cooperate to provide a global, federated, general-purpose storage system. To support large-scale, multi-user applications such as Twitter and e-mail, Oort provides global queries that find and combine data from relevant users across all providers. Oort makes global query execution efficient by recognizing and merging similar queries issued by many users' application instances, largely eliminating the per-user factor in the global complexity of queries. Our evaluation predicts that an Oort implementation could handle traffic similar to that seen by Twitter using a hundred cooperating Oort servers, and that applications with other sharing patterns, like e-mail, can also be executed efficiently.
