DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will present the main ideas behind the develop
 ment of a methodology for engineering distributed systems capable of some 
 cognitive processing ability\, such as collective decision making. I will 
 move from theoretical studies of collective decision in distributed system
 s\, which support the identification of the causal relationship between mi
 croscopic mechanisms and macroscopic patterns. Such theoretical understand
 ing must be translated into formal methods and guidelines for engineering 
 artificial systems (e.g.\, the interactions observed between bees during n
 est site selection can be distilled into a methodology for optimal decisio
 n making in swarm robotics systems). In this respect\, I will introduce th
 e concept of cognitive design patterns\, that is\, general solutions for t
 he design of distributed cognitive systems\, and will discuss the example 
 of collective decisions through a simple case study.Bio:Dr. Vito Trianni i
 s a tenured researcher at the Institute of Cognitive Sciences and Technolo
 gy of the Italian National Research Council (CNR-ISTC). He owns a Ph.D. in
  Applied Sciences delivered by the Université Libre de Bruxelles in 2006\,
  and a MSc in Computer Science Engineering delivered by Politecnico di Mil
 ano in 2000. He published more than 60 papers in international journals an
 d peer-reviewed conference proceedings\, with an overall H-Index of 21 acc
 ording to Google Scholar. His main research interests are in swarm intelli
 gence and swarm robotics\, and the relationship between collective behavio
 ur and cognition. Dr. Trianni participated to some of the most successful 
 EU projects in cognitive systems and robotics (Swarm-bots\, ECAgents\, Swa
 rmanoid)\, and features thorough expertise\, both theoretical and experime
 ntal\, in the design and analysis of collective and self-organising behavi
 ours\, especially applied to swarm robotics systems. Recently\, given the 
 lack of systematic methodologies that can guide the experimental design\, 
 Dr. Trianni started to formalise an engineering approach for the synthesis
  of collective behaviours\, through evolutionary techniques and swarm inte
 lligence design methods. Besides engineering robotic systems\, Dr. Trianni
 ’s research activities instantiate a synthetic approach to the understandi
 ng of distributed cognition in natural systems.
