Projects & Initiatives
_________
Context-Aware Semantic Multimedia Services for Mobile Communities
The project focuses on developing mobile multimedia services with aspects of multimedia semantics and context awareness.
_________
eConnect
The goal of “econnect Germany” is to develop sustainable and intelligent electro-mobile traffic applications integrate electric vehicles into the smart grid of the future.
_________
Integrated Planning of Multi-layer Telecommunication Networks
The goal of the Integrated Planning of Multi-layer Telecommunication Networks project is to develop mathematical models and algorithms for the joint planning of multiple sub-networks/layers.
_________
MIMODeS
This project focuses its research on hardware-reliability in wireless communication systems. The team follow a cross-layer approach which exploits the mutual trade-offs of system performance, hardware reliability, and implementation complexity. Wireless systems are especially suited for this approach because they have an inherent algorithmic error resilience.
_________
ÖkoNet
The goal of the OkoNet project is to find solutions to unpredictable problems and conflicts of interest between network and service providers.
_________
Performance of Large-Scale, Ad Hoc Networks and Cognitive Wireless Systems
This project will study different mathematical modelling methods for such capacity and performance analysis.
_________
PreFairAppl
The main focus of the project is the development of “fair” applications which preserve the privacy of the users.
_________
ProHaptics
In this project research is done into the communication of haptic information in networked telemanipulation systems. The project team put a special focus on perceptual coding of haptic data streams and address this issue by exploiting the limitations of human haptic perception. The researchers also consider in our work error-resilient communication of haptic information in the presence of packet loss and communication delay.
_________
SAMURAI
The SAMURAI (Sensor Array Processing for Multipath and Radio Interference Identification and Suppression ) project team will carry out further investigations and try to develop a highly accurate and highly reliable time-delay estimation for the received of signals in GPS systems.
_________
THESEUS – New Technologies for the Internet of Services
Under the THESEUS umbrella, some 60 research partners from academia and the business world have come together to develop new technologies and applications. which will facilitate access to information, combine data to form new kinds of knowledge and lay the groundwork for new services on the Internet.
