• Projekt: REGNET – Cultural Heritage in Regional Networks

    Development of an infrastructure for business processes of cultural heritage organisations REGNET set up a network of cultural service centres throughout Europe to provide IT-services to cultural heritage organisations and facilitate e-business activities of these organisations. A technical and legal framework for such a service infrastructure was developed. Among the objectives were the development of an infrastructure for B2B and B2C transactions, the integration of a distributed search and retrieval system to achieve a „virtual union catalogue“ and the development of a legal framework necessary for business transactions. Salzburg Research was responsible for designing and implementing the electronic publishing component. This component enables non-expert end users to generate publishing products and to extract existing information from the repositories available in the REGNET system.

  • Projekt: NetQOS Policy based Management of Heterogeneous Networks for Guaranteed QoS

    [
] demands, altered QoS requirements etc. The automation of the policy management allows for the system to autonomously adapt to these changes. Equally, a suboptimal QoS delivery and resource utilization triggers an adaptation of the employed policies. The proposed approach modifies existing policies, activates / deactivates existing policies and assembles new policies at run-time while respecting the requirements imposed from the different actors. The main contribution of Salzburg Research is the provisioning of the monitoring and measurement (MoMe) infrastructure. It is an important part of the system as it provides input for the policy evaluation, validation and adaptation components and thus has a strong influence on the automated decision process. The key feature of the MoMe infrastructure lies in the ability to assimilate an arbitrary number of low-level MoMe tools. On the basis of these tools MoMe scenarios can be specified and executed through a unified interface. A developer API enables a very simplistic integration [

The scheduled recertification audit in 2023 took place as a two-day system audit, during which all processes and procedures in all areas of the research institute were reviewed by auditor Peter FĂŒrnweger (TÜV Austria). Quality as a lasting process Quality management system improves company performance and creates clarity for employees. It contributes significantly to the achievement of the strategic objectives of the company by defining integrated business processes and procedures. It also provides the ability to carry out research and development work at a higher level, with higher quality and to the best possible satisfaction of customers, clients, partners and other stakeholders.

  • Page: ZuverlĂ€ssige Netzwerke

    Zukunftsbild im Anwendungsfeld „Industry & Infrastructure“ ZuverlĂ€ssige Netzwerke Alle Netzwerkverbindungen – egal ob kabelgebunden oder drahtlos – halten, was sie versprechen. Nutzerinnen und Nutzer können die QualitĂ€t der Verbindung jederzeit Anbieter-neutral ĂŒberprĂŒfen und ĂŒberwachen. Die Netzwerke sind sogar so zuverlĂ€ssig, dass auch kritische Systeme mit gutem Gewissen angebunden werden können. Dabei ist es ganz egal, ob zum Beispiel ein Not-Aus-Knopf mit oder ohne Verkabelung angeschlossen ist. Damit können Notfallsysteme auch mobil werden. ZuverlĂ€ssigkeit als Herausforderung Die drahtlose Vernetzung rĂŒckt immer mehr in den Vordergrund. Ob die vom Provider versprochenen Leistungsparameter der Netze jedoch auch tatsĂ€chlich eingehalten werden, ist vielfach unklar. Besonders wichtig ist dies bei kritischen Systemen: Wenn es dort zu Störungen in der Kommunikation kommt, fallen Produktionsprozesse aus, oder es kann zu einem Blackout kommen. UnabhĂ€ngige Bewertung der ZuverlĂ€ssigkeit schafft Vertrauen Transparenz als Chance Unternehmen benötigen daher eine anbieterunabhĂ€ngige Überwachungs- und Bewertungsmöglichkeit der ZuverlĂ€ssigkeit von drahtlosen Verbindungen.

  • Publikation: Concepts for Reliable Communication in a Software-defined Network Architecture

    [
] a discussion with colleagues. Interconnected CPS in di erent domains, like autonomous driving, smart grids, Industry 4.0, needs a guaranteed and safe delivery of information. Nowadays distributed application in critical infrastructures such as transportation (e.g. air trac management, train control, trac management), nancial services, or electricity systems, are often implemented in dedicated network infrastructures not using the public Internet. This leads to high expenditures (CAPEX and OPEX) for the companies to maintain these separated and dedicated telecommunication infrastructure. Our approach in this work is to verify concepts to share the Internet, as a telecommunication infrastructure for critical and non-critical applications. This reduces the e ort to implement and to manage di erent communication architectures. The present work develops and evaluates methods and procedures that enable high reliable communication between two endpoints over several shared telecommunication networks for future critical and uncritical applications. Our approach shows that it is possible to use the public Internet [

] for the Salzburg economy from the perspective of information and communication technologies. Energy is increasingly decentralized generated, stored and used. Result is a temporal-spatial unbundling of production and use, which fundamentally changes the requirements for a secure energy supply. In parallel, the goal of a nuclear-free Europe and the conversion to renewable energy can’t be achieved by only a few suppliers, but must take place in co-operation of all participating electricity producers and distributors, system suppliers, and  infrastructure and mobility providers. In addition to the nation-states, the regions also play a driving role in the implementation of the energy transition. The State of Salzburg  proposed in it’s Economic Policy Programme Salzburg 2020 to analyse the innovation potential of the energy change for the Salzburg economy from the perspective of information and communication technologies. Salzburg Research as an independent research organisation is the link between science and industry, and offers with its focus on information [
