5 From the Director of the Institute of Electronic Systems The Institute of Electronic Systems of the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology of WUT offers a wide range of opportunities for undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate students. It offers also its technical and intellectual resources for the industry. Our teaching and research activities respond to the needs of today s electronics and computer engineering. The Institute offers courses, and opportunities for studying and research in: automatic measurement and test systems, semiconductor and smart sensors, flow measurements, optoelectronic circuits for sensing and telecommunication, computer engineering and artificial intelligence, neural networks and adaptive measurement systems, microprocessor and digital systems, digital signal processing of radar and biomedical signals, measurement and control systems for experiments in high-energy physics, RF and microwave monolithic integrated circuits design and testing, design software systems for VLSI integrated circuits, analogue and pulse electronic circuits and systems electronic systems for high energy physics experiments. Our activities in these topics are hardware oriented and devoted to practical applications in medicine, radar, radio communication, distributed environment-monitoring systems, high energy physics experiments etc. The Institute has developed a network of modern teaching and research laboratories. It creates a strong basis for our staff to perform and fulfill research programs for the Polish industry and within the European research programs. The continuing programme of expansion and development of the Institute is driven by 9 professors (including 2 full professors), 4 associate professors and 38 assistant professors. 33 Ph.D. students sponsored and guided by the professors of the Institute, participate in research activities. Members of the Institute staff are devoted researchers. In 2004 they published 8 scientific and teaching books and chapters in the book, 76 journal papers and 91 papers in conference proceedings. Some of the professors are recognized worldwide as authorities and act as reviewers of papers submitted for publications in the IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques, on Circuits and Systems, on Measurements and Instrumentation and other international journals and conferences. In colleagues obtained Doctor degrees (Ph.D.). For their outstanding achievements in research and teaching, academics of the Institute have gained Prime Minister Individual Award in Scientific and Engineering Education Achievements and 7 Rewards of the Rector of the WUT. Last year we established a new research laboratory devoted to development of electronic measurement and control systems for TESLA linear collider at the Douches Elektronen Synchrotron DESY, Hamburg, Germany. These activities are performed under long term FP6 European Project CARE, Coordinated Accelerator Research in Europe. Each year the Institute organizes the IEEE-SPIE Multi-Symposium on Advanced Electronics, Digital Signal Processing and Radar Signal Processing in Wilga. This scientific event is devoted mainly for Ph.D. Students and young researchers. In participants presented their papers at the Symposium. In May 2004 the International Radar Symposium took place in Warsaw. It was co-organized by the Institute. The Symposium was also strongly participated by students from our Institute. The Institute co-organizes annual National Conference on Evolutionary Algorithms and Global Optimization. This Conference integrates academics and researchers from universities and science centers and is considered the most important scientific event in Poland in this subject. Professors of our Institute have been teaching 66 different courses. Many of teaching activities are performed in our well-equipped laboratories. These include two new - Electronics for High Energy Physics Laboratory and - 5 -

6 Bioengineering Laboratory, Digital Signal Processing Laboratory, RF & Microwave Monolithic Integrated Circuits Laboratory and others. The Institute guides also activities of student research groups: Radar Signal Processing Group and Electronics for High Energy Physics Group. Students who come to the Institute of Electronic Systems are joining a dynamic, expanding and lively institution, in which, I believe, we are managing to retain one of the long-standing traditions of our Institute, that of being the Institute with high standards for education and research and a friendly place with good relations between staff and students. Our developments are possible thanks to a strong involvement of the academic staff and administration. I appreciate this opportunity to express my cordial thanks to our staff, students and friends who identify themselves with our goals. I also hope that our achievements presented in this report will serve as a stimulation for new European and domestic industrial and research partners to initiate and exploit the Institute potential in education, research and engineering. The Director Professor Janusz A. Dobrowolski, Ph.D., D.Sc

13 1.7. Independent Research Group on Artificial Intelligence Head: Jan J. Mulawka, Professor, Ph.D., D.Sc. Room: 225 Phone: (+48-22) Staff: Jaroslaw Arabas, Assistant Professor Ph.D., Pawel Cichosz, Assistant Professor Ph.D., Piotr Wasiewicz, Assistant Professor Ph.D., Robert Nowak, Assistant, Ph.D. General Information The main subject of research concerns the computational intelligence. In particular the following topics have been considered in detail: Evolutionary Algorithms, Machine Learning, Expert Systems, Database Mining, Advanced Control, Molecular Computing, Software Engineering, Command and Control Systems, Business Intelligence Systems. Evolutionary Algorithms can be divided into three areas: Genetic Algorithms (GA), Evolution Strategies (ES), and Genetic Programming (GP). They have developed applications in global optimization. In the research on GA and ES new algorithms based on accommodation of population size are proposed. The concept of chromosome age has been introduced. The methods lead to a significant reduction of the computation effort needed to achieve comparable results. To improve GA technique, an approach based on applying GP methodology to find the best GA structure for global optimization has been developed. It enables better results to be obtained in comparison with standard approaches. Several applications of evolutionary algorithms are addressed, such as: microwave circuits design, graph theory and telecommunication. The Research Group of Artificial Intelligence is focused on the machine learning (temporal difference learning). Certain variation of the TD (lambda) algorithm was analyzed and some hopefully useful computational techniques were proposed. The multistrategy hierarchical learning systems (combining reinforcement learning with inductive learning and planning) are being developed. The Group cooperates closely with Department of Business Systems, Warsaw School of Economics, carries out research in the domain of business intelligence systems and management information systems. In the area of molecular computing we have introduced a novel application of molecular computing to problems of expert systems. The molecular associative memory, pushdown memory and finite state automaton were proposed. Biochemical reactions on DNA strands were used to realize the backward chaining algorithms. Described devices exhibits a number of advantages over known molecular proposals, as well as traditional electronic implementations. Presented ideas are confirmed by experiments performed in genetic engineering laboratory
