On the 15 January 2020, the research groups of the Institutes of Mathematics and Statistics gave an insight into their current research. Interested students were also given an overview of which topics are suitable for a bachelor or master thesis.
Moving intelligently, robots deployed in a warehouse shift crates from A to B – without getting in each other’s way. What sounds like a very simple example has only recently been made possible thanks to new tools developed in the EU Horizon 2020 project CPSwarm. The project is now in its final phase and the “toolkit” is freely available online for all developers.
We are very happy to welcome our new colleague Martin Stettinger in the Department of Informatics Systems. Martin has finished his PhD in Informatics at the Graz University of Technology. He started his work in the Interactive Systems research group in January 2020 in the Mass Customization 4.0 project. Martin will focus his work on the development of innovative products and services to support small and medium-
A large number of critical infrastructure facilities are located in cities and their surroundings, providing essential services in a compact geographical space and resulting in mutual physical and logical dependencies. The provision of services such as electricity, gas, water, communication, food, fuel, road or rail, in particular, is achieved by operating extensive networks. In the FFG-funded project ODYSSEUS, Stefan Rass (Institute of Applied Informatics) and his team are working on developing a framework for a simulation designed to forecast the consequences of attacks on such interlinked infrastructure facilities.
