  • Publikation: WORKPAD: 2-Layered Peer-to-Peer for Emergency Management through Adaptive Processes

    In this paper, we present a recently funded European research project, namely WORKPAD, that aims at designing and developing a  innovative software infrastructure (software, models, services, etc.) for supporting collaborative work of human operators in emergency/disaster scenarios. In such scenarios, different teams, belonging to different organizations, need to collaborate with one other to reach a common goal, each team member is equipped with handheld devices (PDAs) and communication technologies, and should carry on specific tasks. In such a case we can consider the whole team as carrying on a process, and the different teams (of the different organizations) collaborate through the interleaving of all the different processes (macroprocess). Each team is supported by some back-end centre, and the different centres need to cooperate at an inter-organizational level to reach an effective coordination among teams. The project will investigate a 2-level framework for such scenarios: a backend peer-to-peer community, providing advanced services requiring high computational […]

Deutschland ist sowohl markttechnisch wie auch bezĂŒglich der Autorenschaft der Studien fĂŒhrend, aber auch in Österreich und der Schweiz nimmt das Thema Industrie 4.0 speziell in den letzten beiden Jahren massiv Fahrt auf. BranchenverbĂ€nde und politische Instanzen spielen eine tragende Rolle. Daneben forcieren aber auch klassische Consulting-Unternehmen das Thema Industrie 4.0 in ihren AktivitĂ€ten. Auch Industrie 4.0 und KMUs werden nicht als Widerspruch gesehen. Speziell die Anwendung in mittelstĂ€ndischen Unternehmen wird als Katalysator fĂŒr die Industrie 4.0-Durchdringung der Wirtschaft als Ganzes betrachtet. Dabei mĂŒssen KMUs aber doch andere Startvoraussetzungen, EinschrĂ€nkungen wie auch Chancen berĂŒcksichtigen, die sich ganz wesentlich von der Situation fĂŒr Großkonzerne unterscheiden. Neben rein wirtschaftlich-industriell getriebenen Analysen tauchen (neuerdings) auch vermehrt gesellschaftliche Fragestellungen im Zusammenhang mit Industrie 4.0 auf: Von Fragen der Datensicherheit zur QualitĂ€t der Ausbildung bis zu generellen Auswirkungen auf den Arbeitsmarkt.   Studienkatalog Industrie 4.0

  • Publikation: Vienna-SPIRIT – Combining Intermodal Traveller Information with Onboard/Offboard Navigation Services

    This paper introduces conceptual and implementation approaches for an intermodal traveller information and navigation system which combines offboard route planning and onboard/offboard navigation. This intermodal traveller information system was developed within the Austrian research project Vienna-SPIRIT funded by the national programme “I2-  Intelligent Infrastructure” (BMVIT). Studies forecast high potentials of travellers willing to use alternative means of transport if provided with intermodal traveller information and having travel time advantages. Furthermore it is expected, that intermodal traveller information can contribute to the increase of public transport use and road network efficiency. Within the project Vienna-SPIRIT, a pilot traveller information system was implemented and tested. The focus was on the integration of existing route planning and information services in one system providing integrated, context-based and intermodal traveller information support and on the utilisation of available navigation capabilities for on-trip route guidance. The user can access this intermodal traveller information from car navigation systems as well as […]

Valuable scrap Household scrap and scrap from end-of-life vehicles as well as waste electrical equipment are characterised by a high metal content and therefore have great potential for recycling. Unfortunately, these metals do not come in pure form, but in the form of plastic-metal compo unds or alloy mixtures. Currently, the metals are shredded and exported abroad due to their inferior quality. At the same time, Austria imports higher-quality scrap, which is very important for metal production. Austrian flagship project KIRAMET In the new KIRAMET project (short for: AI-based recycling of metal composite waste), research is being conducted to develop efficient sensor-based particle sorting with the help of artificial intelligence. An intelligent recycling platform is also intended to network existing data along […]
