< Back NATS - iGGi Collaboration showcased at NATS Research Conference A recent collaboration between the University of York and NATS, the UK's leading provider of air traffic control services, is being shown at NATS’ Virtual Research Collaboration Conference . The 6-month A2URE project investigated what a suitable methodology for the development and approval of decision-making automation in Air Traffic Control operations would look like. Alongside this, what changes would be required to operational procedures and policies were considered. Nathan Hughes , a third year IGGI student, worked with NATS to produce three reports for the project. The first considered how current safety assurance processes for changes introduced to the Air Traffic Management (ATM) system could be applied to decision-making automation. The second summarised the factors commonly seen in controller-automation interactions. The final report described a new methodology for designing and developing automated decision-making tools, which could also provide evidence of safety assurance, validation and verification. Alongside these reports, two workshops were run internally to gain feedback from NATS experts, with attendees from the departments of safety assurance, validation, and human performance. The project aims to support future research into introducing decision-making automation to ATM, including the continued development of procedures and policies as more automation is introduced.

iGGi Partners We are excited to be collaborating with a number of industry partners. IGGI works with industry in some of the following ways: Student Industry Knowledge Transfer - this can take many forms, from what looks like a traditional placement, to a short term consultancy, to an ongoing relationship between the student and their industry partner. Student Sponsorship - for some of our students, their relationship with their industry partner is reinforced by sponsorship from the company. This is an excellent demonstration of the strength of the commitment and the success of the collaborations. In Kind Contributions - IGGI industry partners can contribute by attending and/or featuring in our annual conference, offering their time to give talks and masterclasses for our students, or even taking part in our annual game jam! There are many ways for our industry partners to work with IGGI. If you are interested in becoming involved, please do contact us so we can discuss what might be suitable for you. New Moon Studios

< Back Nathan John Queen Mary University of London iGGi PG Researcher After graduating with a MEng in Computer Science from the University of Bristol, Nathan joined the games industry as a programmer, working for Climax Studios, Gaming Corps and Freejam, before moving to a career as a general software engineer, while still developing indie games on the side. His experiences across a range of industries sparked a passion for testing, and left him wondering if there were was to improve the automated testing in game development. Borne from an experiment Nathan had performed training AIs to play his indie game WarpBall, in which he found the agents solved for exploits in the authored AI rather than playing the game well, his research project proposes a novel method for improving the quality of behaviour of human authored agents by pitting them against trained agents and observing what bad behaviours/exploits the trained agents reveal. Authored agents refer to AI agents whose actions are explicitly designed by programmers using traditional techniques such as Utility functions, Behaviour Trees and state machines; trained agents refer to agents whose behaviour is learned by playing many games against the authored agents. n.m.john-mcdougall@qmul.ac.uk Email Mastodon Other links Website https://www.linkedin.com/in/vethan4/ LinkedIn http://www.twitter.com/@vethan4 Twitter Github Supervisors: Dr Jeremy Gow Dr Laurissa Tokarchuk Themes Design & Development Game AI - Previous Next
