Adaptability and Phenotype Plasticity of Invasive Parrots in Europe
Nový, Jakub ; Figura, Roman (advisor) ; Makal, Jakub (referee)
The diploma thesis on Adaptability and Phenotypic Plasticity of Invasive Parrots in Europe deals with the analysis of a recent phenomenon, which is the emergence of non-native parrot populations in European cities. Until now, this issue has been studied mainly from the perspective of the fight against invasive species. So far much less is known about the ecological and ethological characteristics of these populations. Although most of the large non-indigenous populations are located in the territory of southern or northern Europe, this work also examined the observation and semi-wild population of parrots located in the Czech Republic. Research into phenotypic plasticity and overall adaptability of invasive species is also discussed here. The work includes hypotheses and theories related to the invasion process, including predictions of the future development of non-native populations.

Uncertainty-Aware Self-Adaptive Cyber-Physical Systems
Al Ali, Rima ; Bulej, Lubomír (advisor) ; Pelliccione, Patrizio (referee) ; Bühnová, Barbora (referee)
Cyber-physical systems (CPS) need to be designed to deal with various forms of uncertainty associated with data contributing to the system's knowledge of the environment. Dealing with uncertainty requires adopting an appropriate model, which then allows making the right decisions and carrying out the right actions (possibly affecting the environment) based on imperfect information. However, choosing and incorporating a suitable model into CPS design is difficult, because it requires identifying the kind of uncertainty at hand as well as knowledge of suitable models and their application to dealing with the uncertainty. While inspiration can be found in other CPS designs, the details of dealing with uncertainty in another CPS can be confounded by domain-specific terminology, context, and requirements. To make this aspect of CPS design less daunting, we aim at providing an overview of approaches dealing with uncertainty in the design of CPS targeting collective behavior. To this end, we present a systematic review of relevant scientific projects with industrial leadership and synthesis of relations between system features, the kinds of uncertainty, and methods used to deal with it. The results provide an overview of uncertainty across different domains and challenges and reason about a guide for...
