New at paluno: Amr Rizk researches on the Network of the Future

He wants to make digital infrastructures fit for the future: Prof. Dr. Amr Rizk investigates how networks for data exchange and communication can respond quickly to sudden changing demands while remaining efficient and secure. The new professor at the software technology institute paluno at the University of Duisburg-Essen will focus on industrial automation and streaming for immersive technologies.

Better Collaboration in the Development of Material Flow Systems

Automated material flow systems ensure that the right materials get to the right place at the right time in factories and distribution centers. Different departments are usually involved in the development of these systems. The paluno working group “Specification of Software Systems” together with partners from the Technical University of Munich is researching how the consistency of the individual work results can be ensured.

Making Healthier Decisions with AI

How should an intelligent assistance system be designed so that as many people as possible use it to improve their health on a daily basis? This question is the focus of the joint project “Extended Health intelligence for personal behavioral strategies in everyday life” (Eghi), which has just been launched. The paluno working group “Human-Computer Interaction” of Professor Schneegaß is involved in the project.

Sparring Partner in Digital Learning

Digital teaching and digital performance assessment have never been more important. We talked to Dr. Michael Striewe about the e-assessment system JACK. He played a leading role in developing JACK at paluno. Even before the pandemic, the system was an integral part of teaching at the UDE.

German IT Security Award: Great Success for paluno Researchers

Every two years, the Horst Görtz Foundation awards a total of 200,000 euros to the best future-relevant innovations in IT security. Tobias Cloosters, Michael Rodler, and Prof. Lucas Davi won the 3rd place (40,000 euros) for their innovative tool TeeRex. It facilitates the vulnerability analysis of Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs). The German IT Security Award is the most prestigious and highest endowed award of its kind in Germany.

Book "Model-Based Engineering of Collaborative Embedded Systems" Published: Solutions for the Development of CPS Networks

The newly published book describes the key results of the CrESt project, in which 22 partners from industry and science developed solutions for the development of dynamic system networks of embedded, cyber-physical systems (Systems of CPS).

Visualization of Intelligent Train Scheduling

Shivam Agarwal developed a visualization tool to analyze train schedules in the Flatland competition, organized as part of the NeurIPS 2020 conference, held virtually in December. The developed visualization received the first prize in the community category for tools to support the participants of the competition.

Best Paper Award at ICSOC

Researchers from the SSE group (Prof. Pohl), together with research partners from the University of Lille and the Politecnico di Milano, have presented an approach to make knowledge about software evolution accessible to machine learning.

Developing for CPS Networks: Modeling Dynamic Constraints

Robots are to be strong together in the factory of the future. They should coordinate and distribute their tasks in such a way as to achieve their objectives in the best possible way. In order to improve the development of collaborative robots, the paluno working group Software Systems Engineering (AG Pohl) has developed and evaluated a new approach to the modeling of dynamic constraints together with industry partners.
