The DIADEM project was presented to the
consortium of the FP7 BRIDGE project.
The main DIADEM achievements were
presented and their reuse in the BRIDGE
project was discussed. Currently, the
Dynamic Process Integration
Framework (DPIF) is being adapted
to the BRIDGE use cases and integration
with other solutions developed in the
BRIDGE is taking place. In addition, the
use of other DIADEM solutions in the
BRIDGE project, such as MCDA & Scenario
based reasoning and Gas Distribution
Modeling, is being investigated.

Thales organized a kick-off for the
Dynamic Expertise Integration Networks
(DEIN) “sandbox” in the FP7 BRIDGE
project. DEIN is based on the
Dynamic Process Integration Frameworks
(DPIF) developed in the DIADEM project.
The DEIN sandbox in the BRIDGE
facilitates experimentation with
collaboration using operational
workflows investigated in the BRIDGE
project. |

A journal paper titled “A
Collaborative Approach to Construction
of Large Scale Distributed Reasoning
Ssystems” was published in the
International Journal on Artificial
Intelligence Tools.
The paper was written by Ate Penders,
Michiel Kamermans and Gregor Pavlin and
discusses the main principles of the
service oriented solutions using Dynamic
Process Integration Networks (DPIF) and
OntoWizard.

A journal paper titled “Micro-Drone
for Wind Vector Estimation and Gas
Distribution Mapping” was
accepted in the IEEE Robotics and
Automation Magazine. The paper was
written by Patrick Neumann, Sahar Asadi,
Achim J. Lilienthal, Matthias Bartholmai
and Jochen Schiller and includes
integration of the gas distribution
modelling system with sensor planning
developed in DIADEM.
This article presents the development
and validation of an autonomous,
gas-sensitive micro-drone that is
capable of estimating the wind vector in
real time using only the onboard control
unit of the micro-drone and performing
gas distribution mapping. Two different
sampling approaches are suggested to
address this problem. On the one hand, a
predefined trajectory is used to explore
the target area with the micro-drone in
a real-world gas distribution mapping
experiment. As an alternative sampling
approach, we introduce an adaptive
strategy that suggests next sampling
points based on an artificial potential
field (APF). Initial results in
real-world experiments demonstrate the
capability of the proposed adaptive
sampling strategy for gas distribution
mapping and its use for gas source
localization.

The DIADEM project was successfully
concluded on November 30, 2011. All
major research and development goals
were achieved according to the plan.
Read more about the results here.
The project produced novel technical and
scientific results, many of which are
generic and can support reliable and
economically feasible solutions to
environmental management, in particular,
and crisis management challenges, in
general.
The DIADEM project targeted challenging,
real-world problems from the
environmental management domain that
required novel solutions in multiple
related fields. This was achieved by
combining:
(i) a thorough requirements elicitation
process, involving competent domain
experts
the development of sound theoretical and
(ii) technical solutions addressing
those requirements, and
(iii) a comprehensive evaluation of the
system based on operational prototypes.
An overview of the technical
contributions can be found on
www.ist-diadem.eu.

The DIADEM exploitation workshop was
held on the 17th of November 2011 in
Delft at the Art Centre.
The workshop was organized by Mr. Arnoud
Vernimmen, a senior business developer
from Thales, who introduced the partners
to the principles of marketing and
techniques supporting systematic
development of exploitation strategies,
such as SWOT analysis, etc. Different
views of the different consortium
partners on the potential use of the
various technical stand-alone and
integrated project results were
discussed and a number of hands-on group
exercises were carried out.

|
|
The final all project members meeting
took place in Delft, the Netherlands.
The main focus of the meeting was
wrapping up of the project and
exploitation and dissemination after the
project is concluded.

A paper titled “An
Artificial Potential Field based
Sampling Strategy for a Gas-Sensitive
Micro-Drone” by Patrick
Neumann, Sahar Asadi, Jochen Schiller,
Achim J. Lilienthal and Matthias
Bartholmai had been accepted and
presented at the IROS Workshop on
Robotics for Environmental Monitoring
(WREM).
This paper presents a sampling strategy
for mobile gas sensors. Sampling points
are selected using a modified artificial
potential field (APF) approach, which
balances multiple criteria to direct
sensor measurements towards locations of
high mean concentration, high
concentration variance and areas for
which the uncertainty about the gas
distribution model is still large. By
selecting in each step the most often
suggested close-by measurement location,
the proposed approach introduces a
locality constraint that allows planning
suitable paths for mobile gas sensors.
Initial results in simulation and in
real-world experiments with a
gas-sensitive micro-drone demonstrate
the suitability of the proposed sampling
strategy for gas distribution mapping
and its use for gas source localization.
