Drone flight using 5G: Initial experiments

Drones are used in an ever-increasing number of applications, including the autonomous delivery of medication and the inspection of industrial plants. To fulfil these tasks safely and reliably as they move through our airspace, drones need to be linked to high-performance cellular networks. The new mobile telecommunication generation 5G promises new possibilities with high data rates and low latency. Working with a 5G base station operated by Magenta in the Austrian community of Feichtendorf, a team of researchers from the University of Klagenfurt, Lakeside Labs GmbH, Magenta Telekom GmbH and Deutsche Telekom AG has recently conducted drone tests in a commercial 5G network. The scientific results were presented at the ACM MobiSys conference in mid-June.

Rapid increase in the volume of video transmissions: Work is in progress on a new intelligent video platform

By the year 2022, video content will account for almost 79 percent of mobile data traffic. This means that the level is expected to increase nine-fold in just five years from 2017 to 2022. These ever-growing magnitudes pose new challenges for modern technologies. In a research alliance between the Department of Information Technology, bitmovin GmbH and the joint CD laboratory ATHENA, researchers are now working on a new cloud-based video platform that can keep pace with current demands.

ICS Presentations at CAiSE2020

From 8^th to 12^th June the 32^nd edition of the CAiSE conference take place, hosted by the Laboratory of Informatics of Grenoble (LIG) at University of Grenoble Alpes (UGA, France). Because of coronavirus pandemic, the (more than 1000) participants all over the world met each other online.

O.Univ.-Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Dr. Eder was one of the speakers at the opening conference and presented, together with Univ.-Ass. Dipl.Ing. Marco Franceschetti, two papers about current results:

Scheduling Processes without Sudden Termination. (Eder, J., Franceschetti, M., Lubas, J.)
Designing Decentralized Business Processes with Temporal Constraints. (Franceschetti, M., Eder, J.)

Prof. Dr. Johann Eder one of the Editors of the Publication ‘Advances in Databases and Information Systems’

Advances in Databases and Information Systems.

23rd European Conference, ADBIS 2019, Bled, Slovenia, September 8–11, 2019, Proceedings.

Editors: Welzer, T., Eder, J., Podgorelec, V., Kamišalić Latifić, A.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 23rd European Conference on Advances in Databases and Information Systems, ADBIS 2019, held in Bled, Slovenia, in September 2019.

The 27 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 103 submissions. The papers cover a wide range of topics from different areas of research in database and information systems technologies and their advanced applications from theoretical foundations to optimizing index structures. They focus on data mining and machine learning, data warehouses and big data technologies, semantic data processing, and data modeling. They are organized in the following topical sections: data mining; machine learning; document and text databases; big data; novel applications; ontologies and knowledge management; process mining and stream processing; data quality; optimization; theoretical foundation and new requirements; and data warehouses.
