Aitor Arrieta has been acknowledged as a young computer researcher thanks to his research in the field of development and testing of software for major industrial applications. 

The jury of the Research Awards of the Computer Science Society of Spain and the BBVA Foundation 2019 honoured in Madrid the winners of this academic year, including the researcher of the Higher Polytechnic School. Each year, SCIE and the BBVA Foundation award researchers under 30 years of age, the category in which Aitor Arrieta has been awarded for his doctoral contributions in the study entitled “Simulation-based testing of highly configurable Cyber-Physical Systems: Automation, Optimisation and Debugging”. In addition, the research work awarded was supervised by Goiuria Sagardui and Leire Etxeberria as thesis directors, both belonging to the Software and System Engineering research line of the Higher Polytechnic School. 

The study conducted by Aitor Arrieta was developed exclusively at the Higher Polytechnic School, and the results obtained in it were later transferred to ULMA Embedded Solutions (through the Scratch project), FEV, dSPACE, and Orona.

Researching towards transfer

The research model of the Higher Polytechnic School is based on the transfer of knowledge, and this methodology is precisely what has enabled Arrieta to receive this acknowledgement for his research work. The first of the contributions, called “Methodology for the generation and prioritisation of test cases for cyber-physical systems, published on IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics”, consisted of a method based on multipurpose search algorithms for the generation and prioritisation of reactive test cases with the aim of optimally testing cyber-physical systems. The second, “Framework for the optimisation of testing of configurable cyber-physical systems, published in high-impact journals and indexed conferences”, employed the design and developed a framework oriented to the optimisation of the verification and validation phases of configurable cyber-systems physicists making use of search algorithms. Finally, the third contribution, entitled “Transfer projects with industrial companies in the environment”, was intended to carry out research applied to the needs of the industrial companies in the area.
