Title: An Introduction to
the Research Output from University-Industry Collaboration Projects
Abstract: Today global research challenges are so complex and
collaboration between disciplines is helpful in finding novel engineering. In
this talk, we introduce some research output from university-Industry collaboration
projects in Japan in which I was involved. In particular, we will introduce
projects concerning Autonomous Sewer Inspection Robot “Kantaro”, Under-actuated
Robot Finger, Seat Assist Lift “Tateru” and Vegetable Production and
Distribution System (ICT Agriculture).
Biography: He received M.E. and PhD
in Industrial Science and Technology Engineering and Robotics from Niigata
University and Kyushu Institute of Technology, Japan in 2004 and 2007,
respectively. In 2004, he joined
GMD-JAPAN as a Research Assistant. He was Research Scientist and Coordinator at
FAIS- Robotics Development Support Office from 2004 to 2007. He was a Postdoctoral
Research Fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) at
Waseda University, Japan from 2007 to 2008. He served as a Senior Researcher
of Fukoka IST involved in the Japan Cluster Project from 2008 to 2010. In 2010,
he became an Assistant Professor at the faculty of Informatics Since 2012, he has been
Associate Professor at the department of
Computer and Information Science, Sojo University, Japan.
He has served as a main researcher and Principal Investigator in
more than 15 projects and is working closely with more than 50 Japanese
companies, Local government laboratories and Universities.
His research interests
are Robotics, Computer Vision, Image Processing, Pattern Recognition, Data Analysis
(Big Data) and their applications.
He is a member of IEEE
(Robotics and Automation Society), RSJ (Robotics Society of Japan), IEICE
(Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers), IIEEJ
(Institute of Image Electronics Engineers of Japan) and executive committee of
Kyushu ET RoboCon (Embedded Technology Robot Contest) and Kyushu Embedded
System.

Title: Stochastic-Based Robust Dynamic Resource
Allocation in Heterogeneous Distributed Computing System
Abstract: Heterogeneous parallel
and distributed computing systems frequently must operate in environments where
there is uncertainty in system parameters. In such an environment, the
execution time of any given task may fluctuate substantially due to factors such
as the content of data to be processed. Determining a resource allocation that
is robust against this uncertainty is an important area of research. In this
study, we define a stochastic robustness measure to facilitate resource
allocation decisions in a dynamic environment where tasks are subject to
individual hard deadlines and each task requires a substantial amount of input
data to start execution. In this environment, the tasks that cannot meet their
deadlines are dropped (i.e., discarded). We define methods to determine the
stochastic completion times of tasks in the presence of the task dropping. The
stochastic task completion time is used in the definition of the stochastic
robustness measure. Based on this stochastic robustness measure, we design
novel resource allocation techniques that work in immediate and batch
allocation modes, aiming to maximize the number of tasks that meet their
individual deadlines. We analyze the performance of our technique against
several well-known approaches in from the literature. Finally, avenues of future
works stems from this research are discussed in the talk.
