Decision Making in Critical Societal Infrastructures, Principal Investigator, Swedish Research Council, 2020-2024 (2.5 M€). The path towards the Smart Society critically depends on large infrastructures like electrical grids, urban transportation systems or water distribution networks. These systems must operate efficiently, with predictable performance and meet stringent safety and security requirements. Fundamentally they must be able to make informed decisions under constraints and in real-time. We believe that these societal systems can be constructed using a common set of novel design principles despite their technological diversity. These principles relate to learning and decision making in large-scale networked infrastructures. We will establish a methodology for scalable, resource-efficient learning and decision making under physical, communication, and security constraints, utilizing data-driven and model-based solutions.
