The Critical Systems Research Group celebrates its 30th anniversary

The Critical Systems Research Group (ftsrg) at BME VIK MIT celebrated its 30th anniversary on the 4th of July. At the event, attended by more than 100 current and former colleagues, partners, and students, the group's members recalled the group's fundamental research and educational achievements. They provided insights into the latest results in blockchain, trusted data management, model-based system engineering, automatic verification, and graph generation.

The Critical Systems Research Group at the Department of Artificial Intelligence and Systems Engineering (MIT) of BME VIK was founded on 4 July 1994 by Prof. András Pataricza for the teaching and research of fault-tolerant computing under the name of the Fault Tolerant Systems Research Group. The group celebrated its 25th anniversary with a new name, retaining the "ftsrg" brand that has become familiar since its founding. The July event celebrated the research group's anniversary, as well as the birthday of the founding profe...

Our department celebrated its 70th birthday with a new name

The BME VIK Department of Measurement and Information Systems celebrated the 70th anniversary of its foundation by presenting the outstanding successes of the past decades and the new research and innovation directions of the forthcoming years. In response to the evolution of the department's focus areas, we announced a name change at the event on 18 June: keeping the MIT acronym, but now, under the name of the Department of Artificial Intelligence and Systems Engineering, we will continue our successful research and teaching work.

BME MIT mentorship for Hyperledger Summer Internship 2021

Hyperledger – an umbrella project with the stewardship of the Linux Foundation – is organizing its blockchain-focused Summer Internship program in 2021 again. The Dept. of Measurement and Information Systems (MIT) of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) is proud to announce that it will participate in the program with a mentor and mentored project – the third time in the brief history of the Summer Internship.

The Hyperledger Summer Internship is an international and highly competitive program with paid internships. Mentee applications open on March 29 and close on May 7. We hope that this year will see successful application(s) from our students again! For instructions to apply, visit the official site or reach out to our mentor, Attila Klenik.

Dr. Béla Fehér passed away

Obituary – Associate Prof. Béla Fehér

Béla Fehér, Professor of electrical Engineering at Budapest University of Technology and Economics passed away on Friday, October 2., 2020. His wife, daughter, son and many friends and colleagues mourn for him.

Béla earned his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Budapest University of Technology in 1983 and 1995. Right after graduating, he joined the Department of Measurement and Information Systems, and has been working there since then. His main research area was digital system design, especially reconfigurable and System on Programmable Chip architectures. Back in 1984, he was one of the first researchers in Hungary who started to work with FPGA technology and since then he was the leading researcher at the university and in Hungary in this area. He was the founder of FPGA Research Laboratory at the department, leading all of its research and educational activities.

The H2020 ADVANCE project has started

The “Addressing Verification and Validation Challenges in Future Cyber-Physical Systems” (ADVANCE) H2020 RISE research project has started this year with the participation of researchers from our department working on the challenges of future cyber-physical systems. Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are complex systems where the physical aspects are deeply integrated with the communication and computing (cyber) parts providing physical systems with new “intelligent” capabilities. Examples for CPS include autonomous transportation, Industry 4.0 or Internet of Things (IoT) systems. The tight interaction with the physical world often means that CPSs, if not operating properly, can cause harm to users and/or the environment. Therefore the verification and validation (V&V) of such systems is a must. The project will study the the V&V methods and the data analysis techniques that are efficient and effective for the new challenges in cyber-physical systems. The goal of the project is to fo...

Gamma/DDS demo at EclipseCon Europe

Our department presented a demo at the IoT Playground @ EclipseCon Europe 2018 to showcase our latest developments in designing distributed, critical cyber-physical systems.

The demo featured a physical crossroad with traffic lights, the Eclipse Cyclone DDS implementation to enable communication between the components in the system, and the tool support to verify and synthesize the source code and configuration. EclipseCon Europe is the primary industrial event of the community using and building Eclipse-based solutions, and was held in Ludwigsburg, Germany, October 23 - 25, 2018. It presents recent developments, successful industry deployments and higly innovative solutions.

Texas Instruments (TI) has donated development systems for our education again

Texas Instruments (TI) has donated development systems supporting the educational and research activities of the department. We have received TI CC2650 Wireless Sensortags and CC2650 Wireless MCU LaunchPad Kits and they are going to be available for project subjects such as project laboratory and thesis work. Thanks for TI for the continuing support!

Bone Shadow Eliminated Images of the JSRT Database

Welcome to the BME-MIT-OMR JSRT Database. As a service to the medical imaging community, we provide the bone shadow eliminated version of the publicly available JSRT Database. The JSRT Digital Image Database is a digital Chest X-ray database, which consists of images containing lung nodules as well as negative cases, with ground truth location and diagnosis provided.

Our research group is working on lung nodule detection algorithms. Bone shadow removal is an important step in our solution. We did evaluations on the JSRT Database because it became a standard in the field. As using bone shadow elimination before lesion detection turned out to be interesting to other researchers as well, we publish these images here.

ACM Distinguished Paper Award at IEEE/ACM ASE 2011 conference
