Third edition ICT with Industry 2015 Introduction Since 2013,
NWO and STW are collaborating with the research schools ASCI, IPA and SIKS in
the organisation of the ICT with Industry workshop. The main aim of the workshop is to stimulate
contacts and future collaborations between researchers and professionals from
industry and public organisations. At the
2015-edition the steering committee received overall very positive feedback
from the participants. The most common remarks were, first of all, that the
participants gained a broader view, and learned about new fields and the
techniques that they use, which may possibly also be useful in their research
work or within their organisations. Second,
participants enjoyed meeting new people in a creative setting, yielding useful
professional contacts for future collaborations. The workshop also allowed them
to showcase their knowledge and skills, and thus gain more visibility. Third,
participants appreciated gaining a better understanding of industry needs, and
how their research may be useful for practical applications. The format of the
workshop also gave people the opportunity to work on problems that they
otherwise would not have the time for. Finally, several participants
appreciated the additional guidance from the steering committee in solving
their specific cases. Experience of
the existing workshops, such as Physics with Industry, Life Sciences with
Industry, Mathematics with Industry and the previous editions of ICT with
Industry, was used as points of considerations for this edition. The Workshop
ICT with Industry 2015 took place at the Lorentz Center in Leiden from 7 to 11
December 2015. Problems & Outcome The industrial partners presented
their case study and objectives on the first day. Immediately afterwards,
groups of participants began to brainstorm, to program and to look for possible
solutions. Each team was guided by an academic team leader and the case owners.
The case studies of 2015 were as follows: 1.
Alten PTS and Deltares:
Towards computational early warning systems for cyanobacteria blooms in
fresh-water swimming waters and drinking water reservoirs The challenge was to construct an
initial predictive, computational model of toxic scum formation of the fresh
water cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa, prepare
it for the assimilation of satellite data and for integration into existing
predictive models for surface water quality. During the workshop the team
formulated research questions based on the existing information. Unfortunately
the case owners could not attend the entire workshop, which was not very much
stimulating for the team members. The team delivered a workshop report for Deltares and Alten PTS. 2.
Vicarvision and Noldus
Information Technology: Tiny Motion Detection During the
workshop, the team worked on the following challenges: - Validation of the technology in
scientific articles. - Extend the technology to include
camera motion compensation, and validation of results. - Extend the technology to process
crowds rather than a single subject. - If time permits: based on
measured data: develop models, scientific analysis to interpret human The team was very dedicated to their case study and showed at the end of
the workshop the possible solutions. At the moment the researchers are preparing
a project proposal to be submitted for funding. The team delivered
a workshop report for Vicarvision and Noldus Information Technology. 3.
IND and Belastingdienst: Towards
a Method for a Formal Analysis of Law Service providing organizations, either private or public, are
increasingly working within a cross organizational setting. As a result they
are confronted with more and more rules. These rules include external rules,
coming from partner organizations. Much work has been done in recent years on
agile ways of defining rules in IT-systems (‘Rule-based or knowledge-based
working’, ‘rule management’, ‘Knowledge as a Service’ (KaaS)).
However, no method exists as yet for guaranteed compliancy to the sources of law
and other norm frameworks these rules are based on. During the week the team
worked on identifying research questions and formulating possible
recommendations. At the end of the week there were concrete plans for follow
ups, among other internal workshop within IND and Belastingdienst,
writing scientific publication and preparing a Lorentz workshop proposal. The team
delivered a workshop report for IND and Belastingdienst.
4.
Greenclouds: Towards a MicroServices
Architecture for Clouds The case focused on the main research questions as follows: - How portable are applications to microservices? How well do state of the art methods lend
themselves to this problem? - How can the performance of microservices be evaluated? Are standardized benchmark
suites reusable in this context? How can the performance evaluation methodology
be extended to include business impact metrics? During the workshop the team came
up with solutions and recommendations. At the moment the team is looking for
funding possibilities for research projects. A possible spin-off may derive
from this workshop. The team delivered a workshop report for Greenclouds. In short, the
workshop resulted in new collaborations and research ideas, which all have the potential
to be further developed into research proposals. Funding possibilities were
offered by NWO and STW. Visibility The workshop results were communicated through
the following channels: ·

research conference in the Netherlands. www.ictopen.nl Governance
