Interdisciplinary Lab for Intelligent and Adaptive Systems (ILIAS)

The Interdisciplinary Lab for Intelligent and Adaptive Systems (ILIAS) is a research group within the Computer Science and Communication Research Unit. Its main goal is to realize and develop research and teaching in the area of intelligent and adaptive systems at the University of Luxembourg (and beyond).

The overarching subject is information processing - or more specifically, inference - in complex and dynamic environments given limited resources and incomplete or uncertain knowledge. We investigate the theoretical foundations and the algorithmic realizations of systems:

• performing complex problem solving with a high degree of autonomy, i.e. intelligent ,
• exploiting learning to deal with opaque and dynamic contexts, i.e. adaptive .

Our research lab is characterized by a strong cross-disciplinary perspective, combining expertise from computer science, information theory, statistics, mathematics, and logic. The principal research directions are:

• Optimization and Parallel Computing (Prof Dr Pascal Bouvry , Dr Grégoire Danoy , Dr Sébastien Varrette )
• Information Management and Knowledge Discovery (Prof Dr Christoph Schommer )
• Information Theory and Stochastic Inference (Prof Dr Ulrich Sorger , Dr Zdzislaw Suchanecki )
  • Individual and Collective Reasoning ICR (Prof Dr Leon van der Torre , Dr Emil Weydert )
• Decision Systems (Prof Dr Raymond Bisdorff , Dr Patrick Meyer )
• E-learning and Proactive Computing (Prof Dr Denis Zampunieris )

All these areas provide relevant theoretical and practical tools for Security and Trust research and for Bioinformatics.
