PAIAS - Psychoanalytically Inspired Automation System

01.08.2007 - 30.11.2010
Research funding project
The research project addresses the demand of context- and situation-aware environments in computational areas. This means, that it is not sufficient to collect lots of sensor data as fast as possible and react on them by several predefined rules. A system has to extract the higher semantic meaning of a current situation. This advantage of situation awareness in a system is used to develop corresponding action plans within a decision unit that works on a very high semantic level. The research shall discover and define the elements that are needed between the two borders of perception and action. The main focus is to improve the existing concept with further cooperations of the neuro-psychoanalytical association and to describe a technical model that enables an implementation within a technical system. This is done by transferring it into a technical model describing the functionality of each relevant function block. These blocks can then be interpreted and implemented in further research.
