2. Outline Who I am Research interests General ideas Specific ideas

3. About Me Risk and Information research group Teaching Operating systems (year 2) Real-time and critical systems (MSc) Interests Decision support Risk and critical systems

4. Research Interests Decision support Bayesian networks Knowledge and data Medical applications Safety and critical systems Hazards Risk models

5. General 1. BN decision support: prediction or diagnosis Expertise is a problem area – uncertain reasoning; Relevant data 2. Statistical Data from the Web Lots of public data 3. Real-time Programming using Cortex-M3 STM32F4 Real-time applications An interesting software technology (such as Lustre or Atom) Happy to discuss project ideas Typical student: MSc S/W Eng; MSc CIS

6. Display/Editor for the Evidence-base of a BN Evidence ontology for BN knowledge developed using OWL Enhance existing system for display Develop an editor for composing the knowledge.
