SITUATION UNDERSTANDING Sample Clauses

SITUATION UNDERSTANDING. Human operators in current multi-AUV systems contribute not only their maneuvering and recogni- tion skills, but also their high-level cognitive abilities for understanding the situation in the environ- ment the AUVs operate in. Since the main objective of the NOPTILUS project is to offer a fully- autonomous multi-AUV system, it is important to develop methods and techniques for high-level sensor fusion, recognition in timed data, event detection, and event prediction. We use the term “situation understanding” to refer to all these cognitive abilities for inferring high-level representa- tions of the situation at hand. This is perhaps one of the most difficult aspects of the proposed pro- ject and the first barrier towards true autonomy compared to the current state-of-the-art. Its im- portance can be stretched by the fact that high-level decision making for near-optimal planning and task assignment towards successful mission completion cannot be achieved without a high-level understanding of the situation in the surrounding environment. Each AUV in the system is equipped with a variety of sensors providing continuous low-level data which are filtered and processed to provide information which can then be shared among all vehi- cles. In that sense, the entire team of the AUVs constitutes a sensor network with a dynamically changing topology. Building on the information provided with respect to the current formation, the AUVs can share measurements with what, where, and when labels; i.e., share each observation, its sampling time and location, as well as its possible attributes. Fusing this stream of information in order to create a “clear and complete picture” is the first step towards realizing the NOPTILUS sys- tem; “Cooperative Distributed Estimation for Map Creation and Process Tracking” Module (see section B1.2.5) responsible for completing such a task. The next step is to recognize sequences of interest in this stream of information which may signal the presence or the initiation of a particular event. Finally, the last step is to infer possible evolutions of an on-going event and use this prediction to assist decision making. In other words, there is a need for devising methods which  Based on all available measurements and information provided about the type, location, etc of the mission;  Need to “recognize dynamic events” in order to update the NOPTILUS assignment, planning and navigation module Examples of such – dynamic – events include AUV b...

  • LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING Re: Inverse Seniority Layoffs This letter will clarify the intention of the Parties with respect to the Layoff and Recall provisions set out in Article 11, Section 1, Paragraph 1 of the National Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), with respect to temporary layoffs and the application of the Inverse Seniority Provision. The parties agree that in situations of temporary short term layoffs covered under Article 11 of the CBA, seniority employees on the affected shift will be offered the first opportunity for short term layoff, notwithstanding the layoff procedure set out in Article 13 of the Collective Agreement. When applying the Inverse Seniority Provision for temporary short term layoffs, it is agreed that the Company will canvas seniority employees on the affected shift who are willing to be temporarily laid off for the duration of the short term layoff, prior to implementing any involuntary seniority based layoffs under Article 13 of the CBA. Any seniority employees who elect to be placed on short term layoff will be selected on the basis of inverse seniority, meaning that the most senior employee will be provided the layoff opportunity first, the second most senior employee next, and so on, following the seniority list. Those employees who volunteer for the inverse seniority layoff will be committed to accepting the temporary layoff for full duration of the short term layoff announced by the Company. Should the temporary layoff extend beyond three (3) weeks in duration, seniority employees who first elected an inverse seniority layoff will have the option of either exercising their seniority rights for the purposes of being recalled to active employment, or with the mutual agreement of all parties, continuing their temporary layoff for an agreed upon period of time. It is understood that the Company reserves the right to deny requests for inverse seniority layoff, where an individual’s particular skill and ability are considered necessary to operational requirements. Before any such request is denied, the Company and the Union will meet to review the circumstances of each case. The Parties agree that the Company shall bear no liability associated with inverse seniority layoffs, and that any decisions regarding the availability of Employment Insurance (EI) benefits is the exclusive responsibility of Human Resources and Services Development Canada (HRDSC).
