Conducting interdisciplinary
scientific research and creating new knowledge about the fundamental
phenomena and facts in the
ecosystem of personalized e-learning and sensor networks will contribute to the achievement of the main
goal of the project by:
1. Research and creation of models of sensors
and sensor networks for the application in intelligent educational systems;
2. Development of models of knowledge
and organization of personalized education necessary for the structured
storage of data collected through sensor networks;
3. Project
modeling of intelligent educational systems by integrating models for personalized education and models of sensor
networks.
4. Research of methods for achieving reliability in the ecosystem
of personalized e-learning and sensor networks.
5. Development of researchers in the field of
intelligent educational
systems.
The approaches of modeling and experimental research of complex systems, such as Intelligent
Educational Systems, are
used to achieve the research goals. These are an
essential and integral part of fundamental research, as many different and related disciplines in this field have their own ideas for
specific types of modeling. The topic of
the project has a strong interdisciplinary aspect. The main factor
for conducting the interdisciplinary research is the application of Artificial Intelligence for educational purposes. As a result, interdisciplinary research is needed, which is seen
as a process for solving problems that arise in an
attempt to reconcile the results of scientific and applied research from a wide range of disciplines.
These disciplines cover smart personalized learning and information and communication technologies related to sensor networks,
the provision of reliability and quality of service of intelligent educational systems, as well as
various topics of artificial intelligence. In the case of
intelligent educational
systems, the integration is essential and, in this project,
it is supported by conceptual analysis and modeling, the application of a flexible model of the
research process and the very
important teamwork, which distinguishes the planned interdisciplinary research from the multidisciplinary
research. The project solutions will be in
line with the trends in the development
of European research and with the world’s
best practices in the thematic
area. The obtained project results will be applied in the design
of a specific intelligent educational system, where they will be
experimented, tested, analyzed and improved. The main goal is
achieved by solving research tasks divided into 4 work packages (WP1 - WP4). All activities related to the dissemination
and multiplication of project results are grouped in WP5, and those related
to the effective project management - in WP6:
1. WP1: Research
and modeling of sensor networks
and systems;
2. WP2: Modeling
of knowledge and methods for personalized education;
3. WP3: Design
and research of intelligent educational environment;
4. WP4: Reliability
and quality of service in intelligent educational systems and sensor networks;
5. WP5: Dissemination
and multiplication of the results;
6. WP6: Project management
The expected results from the implementation

publication publications
in journals that are indexed
in SCOPUS and Web of Science or journals with impact factor, IF (Web of Science) and impact rank SJR (SCOPUS); 8 accepted or sent for publication
papers at international conferences indexed in SCOPUS and Web of
Science; 2 peer-reviewed monographs
published or accepted for publication; 2-4 specialized courses / textbooks, 2-4 submitted / registered patents / utility models in the
Patent Office of the Republic of Bulgaria; participation in the organization
and holding of 4 international scientific events:

Control Systems Engineering”
3 consecutive years;
b) A workshop
dedicated to the topic of
the project within an international
conference
