Prof Narasimhan Sundararajan	Aerospace control, machine learning, Computational Intelligence, neural networks and applications. 1. Neural Networks Learning Algorithms Minimal Resource Allocation Network: A sequential learning algorithm for realizing a minimal radial basis function network (RBFN), referred to as Minimal Resource Allocating Network (MRAN). With the growing and pruning strategy, the MRAN algorithm can implement a more compact network structure, resulting in fast on-line learning. The MRAN algorithm is successfully applied in the areas of function approximation, time series prediction, nonlinear system identification and pattern recognition. Yingwei Lu, N. Sundararajan, P. Saratchandran, ?A Sequential Learning Scheme for Function Approximation using Minimal Radial Basis Function Neural Networks?, Neural Computation, MIT Press, USA, Vol. 9, No. 2, pp. 461-478, February 1997. Adaptive Flight Control Until the later part of 1940's and early 1950s flight control research was aimed at providing pilot relief capabilities, mainly in the form of auto-pilots. With the advent of high performance aircrafts, it become evident that controllers were required to bring the aircrafts within certain specified operating envelop that would increase the pilots capabilities for controlling the aircrafts. Due to stringent requirements and complexities of the modern flight control system, it is difficult to estimate the nonlinearities accurately. The performance of conventional controller will be poor under severe nonlinearities. The research deals with the new design development of adaptive and fault tolerant control systems using neural network methodologies. Conventional aircraft, helicopters and unmanned aerial vehicles are considered. The aim of the research area is the design of adaptive flight controllers such that the aircraft can even under severe fault and disturbances. The application of controllers to linear and nonlinear models was investigated.

Assoc Prof Siew Chee Kheong, David	Research A/Prof Siew's research interests span three areas: (1) Quality of Service (QoS) Provisioning; (2) Congestion Control; and (3) Application of intelligent control to networking problems. The underlying network could be a wired, wireless or optical network. (1) While there is no shortage of proposed packet scheduling algorithms, our approach to the problem is slightly different. We are particularly interested in practical issues in search of low computational-complexity fine-granularity scheduling together with admission control that provide per-flow deterministic guarantees using class-based traffic treatment. This work would allow efficient QoS provisioning with specific queueing delay bounds. Our approach is to provide low-complexity service-curve based scheduling and admission control. Using nice properties of service-curves, we are able to avoid packet-by-packet analysis but provide an elegant analysis of the complex end-to-end QoS provisioning. We have recently proposed a low-complexity Flow-state-dependent Dynamic Priority Scheduling (FDPS) algorithm that could provide a service-curve based packet scheduling engine that enables per-flow deterministic guarantees. My recent in-press publication on per-flow QoS using class-based treatment is listed in [2]. (2) My interest in Congestion Control is to improve the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) fairness and prevent TCP collapse in best-effort networks. It is well-know that TCP performance is highly dependent on Round-trip-time (RTT), an issue that has attracted many investigations. While most existing works attempt to provide solutions at the transport-layer, our approach uses both the features of network-layer and transport-layer. Our recent work [1] demonstrated that our solution could improve TCP fairness by reducing dependence on RTT, and prevent TCP collapse by means of intelligent packet discarding [1]. It has been proven that classical TCP will not be efficient in such high bandwidth-delay product networks. As a result, we are currently interested in providing a comprehensive solution to networks (e.g. Grid computing networks) with high bandwidth-delay product. The issues of max-min fairness and rate of convergence are converging issues for the research. (3) We are interested to apply intelligent control to network problems would include stochastic QoS guarantees and/or wireless network carrying heterogeneous traffic. These works could involve cross-disciplinary solution using control theory, fuzzy logic or artificial intelligence. The natural progression of such works would be Application-layer QoS provisioning in which cross-layer issues dominate. We are currently interested in applying distributed algorithm for collaborative wireless networks. Solutions are needed for many challenging issues on how rate, delay and access control in this area.

Assoc Prof Song Qing	One general principle about the on-going research is that the available research results do not always fit well with the realities and complexities of the real world. This is obvious to experienced academic researchers, and I am convinced that a unified approach from fundamental theories to practical implementations can greatly reduce the difficulty of doing useful research on complex real world problems. The major focus of my current academic research work has been on exploring the usefulness of new theoretical results for practical applications in the area of intelligent computing systems. For example, an intelligent auto-scoring system for indoor shooting range with scoring successful rate of 98% for the real world image scoring problem developed in my research group, has led to filed Singapore patent and United States patent, in 2001 and 2002, respectively. The commercial prototype of the system (based on the direct industrial funding S$320K++) has been set up in the CISCO Police Centre Singapore, since 2002.
