Controlling drones: The passion to simplify what is complicated
For her doctoral thesis, Ekaterina Peshkova worked on a natural and intuitive mode of interaction between humans and drones. She expects to complete her work in Klagenfurt this April.

Wireless sensor networks have many applications, ranging from industrial process automation to environmental monitoring. Researchers at the Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt have recently developed a time synchronization technique and have carried out experimental performance testing. The method developed learns the behavior of the sensor clocks, making it particularly efficient in terms of energy and computational resources.
Der Informatikprofessor Heinrich C. Mayr wurde am 15. November in Japan zum Chairman des Steering Committees einer bedeutenden internationalen wissenschaftlichen Konferenzserie der Informatik gewählt.
Bei cyber-physischen Systemen arbeiten mechanische und elektrotechnische Komponenten unterstützt von Software so zusammen, dass sie selbstständig und eigeninitiativ miteinander vernetzt zu Problemlösungen kommen. In einem aktuellen EU-Horizon2020-Projekt entwickeln nun Forscherinnen und Forscher Werkzeuge und Methoden für die nächste Generation von CPS-Systemen.
(Cyber-)Angriffe auf kritische Infrastruktur wie Energienetze sind besonders effektiv: Entsteht an und in solchen Objekten Schaden, breitet sich dieser häufig auf andere nicht minder bedeutsame Einrichtungen aus. Ein Forschungsteam möchte nun, gefördert von der Österreichischen Forschungsförderungsgesellschaft FFG, an einer Verbesserung des cross-sektoralen Risikomanagements für Objektschutz in kritischen Infrastrukturen arbeiten.
In many forests, the collection of information pertaining to the wood remains neglected, due to a shortage of specially trained personnel, specific expertise, funding, or appropriate technology. A project funded by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) aims to put small, unmanned helicopters to work, measuring the parameters for the forest inventory.
The information technology specialist Raheeb Muzaffar has developed an application-layer framework that improves the transmission of videos between moving drones and mobile devices located at ground level. His work within the ICE doctoral programme will be completed soon. He explains what makes this technology innovative and talks about his plans for the future in a conversation with AAU-News.
Softwaresysteme werden ständig weiter entwickelt. Doch wenn am Quellcode geschraubt wird, ist derzeit nicht immer klar, welche Auswirkungen diese Änderungen auf die Ausführung eines Softwaresystems haben. Ein vom Österreichischen Wissenschaftsfonds FWF gefördertes Projekt möchte nun einen detaillierten Blick auf die Evolution von Programmverhalten werfen.
Fast 700 Fachexpertinnen und -experten treffen sich vom 26. bis 30. September an der Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt, um neueste Ergebnisse und zukünftige Entwicklungen der Informatik vorzustellen und zu diskutieren: anlässlich der INFORMATIK 2016, der größten Informatik-Fachtagung im deutschsprachigen Raum.
Carmen Batanero (Universidad de Granada) und Manfred Borovcnik (Alpen-Adria-Universität) haben aktuell ein Handbuch mit dem Titel “Statistics and Probability in High School” herausgegeben. Das Buch wendet sich an Lehrkräfte der Sekundarstufe II und an all jene Personen, die in der Aus- und Weiterbildung von Lehrkräften tätig sind.
The paper “Physical layer security in power line communication networks: an emerging scenario, other than wireless” is a landmark paper that sheds new light on the information theoretic limits for secure communications in power line communication (PLC) channels.
