Mexico City, March 21, 2023.- In order to bring the university community closer to an international space for the exchange of ideas and cutting-edge knowledge, the University of Mexico, for the second time, hosted the Symposium on Autonomous Decentralized Systems (ISADS 2023). Universidad PanamericanaMexico City, for the second time, hosted the Symposium on Autonomous Decentralized Systems (ISADS 2023).
ISADS 2023
This international event was attended by representatives from 13 countries: Germany, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, China, El Salvador, United States, France, Greece, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, United Kingdom, United States and Taiwan.
The inauguration was attended by: Dr. Kinji Mori, Professor Emeritus, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan Invited Researcher, Waseda University, Japan and isads life-time honorary chair and Dr. Yinong Chen, teaching professor in the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University.
Also in attendance were Dr. Bojan Cukic Dean and Professor College of Computing and Informatics University of North Carolina at Charlotte; Dr. Radu Popescu-Zeletin, ICAM GmbH, Germany; Erik Puik, Utrecht University of Applied Sciences, The Netherlands and Jie Xu, University of Leeds, UK.
While from the School of Engineering of the Universidad Panamericana was attended by Dr. Mauricio Pardo, director of postgraduate studies; Dr. Hiram Ponce, head of research and director of the PhD in Artificial Intelligence and Dr. Carlos Pérez-Leguizamo, president of the ISADS 2023 congress and Director of Research and Technological Innovation at Banco de México and academic of our house of studies.
Innovation under structural transformation
In the keynote lecture Innovation under Structural Transformation in Society, Value, Technology and BusinessDr. Kinji Mori discussed current events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change and economic turbulence and how these "have abruptly and unpredictably transformed certain structures of society, value, technology and business".
He stressed that in this era of structural change, "innovation in technology and business requires an approach focused on understanding key concepts. This approach not only helps to identify problems in the new environment, but also enables coherent solutions to be directed through the chain of technologies and markets".
Speaking on Decentralized Autonomous Systems (ADS), he emphasized that "in these current situations of change and transformation, it is effective to use the ADS concept to create new systems and technologies that allow the system to change, modify, repair and partially expand while in operation" .
Critical Systems Trends
Dr. Perez-Leguizamo presented a paper entitled Trends in Critical Systems and Business Opportunity in Innovation.. He pointed out that in a globalized, unpredictable and constantly changing market, technological evolution is not an option, but a necessity .
He explained that, in recent years, society has undergone several changes in its forms and methods of consumption, causing consumer needs to be very diverse and changing.
In addition, the current environment, market trends and unexpected events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, have forced us to think of new business models with varied requirements, such as continuous service provision and utilization, fast service response, unpredictable situations and security.
Therefore, he explained, it is necessary to propose new system architectures and technologies that can meet these requirements in dynamic and constantly changing environments.
In this conference, the academic discussed the concept and technology behind the so-called Decentralized Autonomous Services Architecture (ADSOA), taking as an analogy the survival mechanism and how through its genetic code each cell of a living being presents a degree of specialization in its functions.
He also presented some real-world applications of ADSOA in business-critical systems in the banking area and explored future trends in research and development.
Decentralized autonomous systems
Decentralized autonomous systems, or ADS for short, are systems that execute a set of instructions automatically in response to changing inputs to solve complex problems, generating intelligent, autonomous and adaptive solutions.
ADSs are based on biological systems, which are made up of independent living subsystems, thus these systems are composed of many components, which must function coherently and safely performing individual tasks to achieve overall objectives.
The importance of the technological development of decentralized autonomous systems lies in having solutions to solve complex problems through systems that continue to operate in the event of component failures. In addition, these systems allow maintenance and repair tasks to be performed while they remain operational.
