AEGIS brings together the data, the network & the technologies to create a curated, semantically enhanced, interlinked & multilingual repository for public & personal safety-related big data.

The KI-LOK project, therefore, aims to develop new test procedures and methods for safeguarding and certifying AI-supported technologies for safety-critical applications in railroad technology.

Artificial intelligence (AI) - i.e., the machine's ability to imitate human skills such as thinking, learning, creative behavior, or even planning - was only conceivable in science fiction literature for a long time. In the project "AI support for learning management systems", three Fraunhofer Institutes have now investigated how digitization, artificial intelligence and BigData can be used in education.

Up to one hundred computers in a car ensure a safe drivability. Automotive manufacturers and suppliers work together in the development of such software systems. The BMW Group's Symphony Project integrates development data from various data sources at BMW into one data model and tests the consistency to ensure the eventual compatibility and necessary software quality of the individual components.

The ALADIN project aims to ensure safer forest firefighting in the future employing demand-oriented 5G networking of emergency forces and response resources. As a first step, a nomadic, i.e. local and temporary, network is being set up at the Schönhagen airfield in Brandenburg. The network will then be used as a basis for controlling unmanned response equipment and monitoring and securing the site of operations.

Ambient Networks – This European (FP6) Integrated Project is lead by Ericsson aiming to create scalable and affordable network solutions for mobile and wireless systems beyond 3G.

The integrated ANA Project aims at exploring novel ways of organizing and using networks beyond legacy Internet technology. The ultimate goal is to design and develop a novel network architecture that enables flexible, dynamic, and fully autonomic formation of network nodes as well as whole networks.

Fraunhofer FOKUS supports the Center for Marine Environmental Sciences (Zentrum für Marine Umweltwissenschaften MARUM) at the Universität Bremen with the development of a telepresence system for the ship’s control container. It consists of an upright dome projection with a horizontal and vertical angle of 180°.

In the ASCENS (Automatic Service-Component Ensembles) project, researchers from SQC are collaborating with scientists from across Europe in an attempt to develop theories of self-organisation of sensor networks. One Example is a traffic management system which integrates information from all available resources.

The project »Attack-based automation of security testing for IoT applications« will thus develop end-to-end automation of security testing using genetic algorithms, fuzzing, and data analysis techniques for attack detection, to support the development of effective patches against security vulnerabilities.

In the automotive sector, AUTOSAR with its current release 4.1 is constantly gaining in importance. Thanks to an increasing degree of maturity, more and more OEMs – and therefore also suppliers – adapt their processes to AUTOSAR and produce AUTOSAR-conform control units, software components, basic software modules, or corresponding tools.
