VILLUM Investigator S4OS Scalable analysis of safe, Small and Secure Strategies for Cyber-Physical Systems


In our daily lives, We are surrounded by cyber-physical systems. These systems comprise software and hardware components communicating with and controlling a physical reality. They include wind turbines, cars and objects as critical as pacemakers. In these systems, the use of machine learning is very widespread.

However, the use of machine learning also leads to challenges that may have fatal consequences. Professor Kim Guldstrand Larsen and research leader of DEIS has received a DKK 30 million Villum Investigator grant for a project aiming to ensure that cyber-physical systems meet requirements concerning reliability and safety to a much higher degree than is the case today.

Verifiable and Safe AI for Autonomous Systems

The rapidly growing application of machine learning techniques in Cyber-Physical Systems leads to better solutions and products in terms of adaptability, performance, efficiency, functionality and usability. However, Cyber-Physical Systems are often safety critical, and the resulting need for verification against potentially fatal accidents is self-evident and of key importance.

The research aim of this project is to develop methods and tools that will enable industry to automatically synthesise correct-by-construction and near-optimal controllers for safety critical systems within a variety of domains.

  • Partners: ITU, Grundfos, HOFOR, Seluxit and Aarhus Vand
  • Funding: Innovation Fund Denmark
  • Project period: 2021-2024

Researchers across Aalborg University will collaborate on mapping more bacterial genomes.

Data Science Meets Microbial Dark Matter


Bacteria are present everywhere. They can make us ill. They can keep us healthy. In other words, bacteria have an endless range of applications. But if we are to utilize this potential to the full, we need to know a much larger part of the genome of bacteria. And therein lies the catch: Today, we know the genome of far less than one percent of bacteria in nature. 

In this project researchers pool their knowledge on DNA sequencing, graph analysis and machine learning for mapping more bacterial genomes faster.

  • Partners: Department of Chemistry and Bioscience and the Department of Computer Science, Aalborg University 
  • Funding: The project is funded by the VILLUM FOUNDATION 
  • Project period: 2021-2022

Querying the Web of Data easily and efficiently (QWEB)


Ever since the Internet came into existence, it has been a goal to make information available and accessible free of charge. In the past couple of years, we have witnessed the growing popularity of the Open Data movement and Semantic Web technologies, which have finally made large amounts of data available -- forming the Web of Data. But we are still missing technologies that actually make efficient use of it. Hence, the main goal of the now-completed project QWeb was to develop breakthrough technologies based on Semantic Web standards, such as RDF and SPARQL, that overcome this gap and answer user queries easily and efficiently over the Web of Data.

  • Funding: The project was funded by the Danish Council for Independent Research (DFF) 
  • Period: 2015-2019

Generalized Operational FLEXibility for Integrating Renewables in the Distribution Grid (GOFLEX)


The GOFLEX project aimed at increasing the integration of renewables by applying smart grid technologies to make existing energy flexibilities usable for the grid.

The core element of the "GOFLEX technology” is an integrated platform of hard- and soft-ware building blocks, which are connected via open interfaces. The solution has been tested in a number of European demonstration sites, involving over 400 prosumers from industry, buildings and transport. 

GOFLEX was the forerunner of the FEVER project
