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, microsystems, semiconductor and smart sensors, flow measurements, measurement and control systems for experiments in high-energy physics, neural networks and adaptive measurement systems, optoelectronic circuits for sensing and telecommunication, adaptive signal detection and estimation methods, modeling of radar disturbances, digital signal processing for radar systems, RF and microwave monolithic integrated circuits design and testing, design of software systems for VLSI integrated circuits, analogue and pulse electronic circuits and systems, microprocessor and digital systems, digital signal processing of biomedical signals, artificial intelligence methods, soft computing and fuzzy logic, photoacoustics. 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 and others. 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 10 professors (including 2 full professors), 3 associate professors and 38 assistant professors. 31 Ph.D. students sponsored and guided by the professors of the Institute, participate in research activities. In 2005 two of them obtained the Doctor degree (Ph.D.). Members of the Institute staff are devoted researchers. In 2005 they published 10 scientific and teaching books and book chapters, 111 journal papers and 72 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. For their outstanding achievements in research and teaching, academics of the Institute have gained 13 Awards of the Rector of the WUT. New research laboratory devoted to development of electronic measurement and control systems for TESLA linear collider at the Deutsches Electronen Synchrotron DESY, Hamburg, Germany is active in the Institute. These activities are performed under the long term FP6 European Project CARE Coordinated Accelerator Research in Europe. Each year the Institute organizes the IEEE-SPIE Multi-Symposium on: Advanced Electronics and Photonics and on Digital Signal Processing and Radar Signal Processing in Wilga. This scientific event is devoted mainly for Ph.D. Students and young researchers. In 2005 over 200 participants presented their papers at the Symposium. - 5 -
The Institute co-organizes the 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 70 different courses. Many of teaching activities are performed in our well-equipped laboratories such as Electronics for High Energy Physics Laboratory, Bioengineering Laboratory, Digital Signal Processing Laboratory, RF & Microwave Monolithic Integrated Circuits Laboratory and others. The Institute guides also activities of student research groups: Digital Signal Processing and Radar Systems Group and Electronics for High Energy Physics Group. During the TESLA Technology Collaboration meeting in Frascati, Italy (December 2005), the Institute of Electronic Systems was presented as a candidate for full membership. The Warsaw University of Technology membership in TESLA Technology Collaboration may result in participation in large European and worldwide research programs on accelerator development. 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 Jerzy Szabatin, Ph.D., D.Sc. - 6 -

1.7. Independent Research Group on Artificial Intelligence Head: Jan J. Mulawka, Professor, Ph.D., D.Sc. Room: 225 Phone: 0-22 660 5319 jml@ 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 activities of the Artificial Intelligence Group include teaching and scientific research in the field of intelligent computational techniques. These are techniques developed for solving most demanding tasks which may require intelligence when they are performed by humans, and are particularly hard for computers. Most extensively studied families of such tasks include search, optimization, inference, and learning. Within each of them there are several more specific tasks and corresponding intelligent computational techniques, which have received significant interest both from scientists and practitioners. This corresponds to a technical view of artificial intelligence (as opposed to other views present in philosophy, psychology, or pop culture). The Group's research is particularly focused on the following fields: evolutionary computation: search and optimization inspired by natural evolution, inductive learning: automatic knowledge acquisition by generalizing training examples, reinforcement learning: automatic skill acquisition from rewards, data mining: discovering useful patterns in data and transforming them into predictive models, neural networks: learning in neurobiologically inspired networks of simple processing units, support vector machines: a statistical approach to machine learning, molecular computation: solving computational tasks using the "hardware" of DNA and molecular biology. Primary research goals are developing new algorithms with improved properties and investigating their most promising prospective applications. In particular, the Group has contributed e.g. novel evolutionary computation techniques, new theoretical results on the properties of evolutionary algorithms, several applications of evolutionary algorithms, neural networks and support vector machines to real-world optimization an modeling tasks, novel reinforcement learning speed-up techniques, experimentally verified molecular implementations of several basic combinatorial and logical operations. The scope of teaching activities of the Artificial Intelligence Group is even broader. There are courses covering nearly all major tasks and computational techniques within the field of artificial intelligence. Apart from the reseach topics listed above, which are also extensively taught, additional teaching topics include heuristic search, deductive inference, expert systems, game-playing, and nonlinear optimization methods. The Group also participates in basic computer science teaching, in particular in programming and databases.. - 13 -
