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.

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.

In close cooperation with industrial partners the competence centre for “Smart Environments” has designed and implemented an innovative content management system for AV content in the home environment and a corresponding demonstrator application.

aXBench is a softwaretool that makes it possible to realize different system variants in automotive engineering in compliance with the AUTOSAR standard. With aXBench, SQC has established a prototype for the function-oriented development of embedded systems in a vehicle.

BERCOM addresses the issue of resilient energy supply and communication capabilities for controling units of critical infrastructures under adverse circumstances like massive power failures or cyberattacks. A key component for the resilience is a specifically hardened mobile communication infrastructure.

A standardized IT workplace (BerlinPC) should help establish a modern, secure, powerful and cost-efficient software, services and system architecture.

Future networks will consist of heterogenous network components supporting hotspots and intelligent roaming. Access control and QoS validation will be considered from the network’s point of view. The BIB3R AAA architecture is designed to handle authentication, authorization for IP network access.

Big Policy Canvas’ Vision: to transform public sector to an effective, efficient, precise, consistent, and evidence-based policy making structure.

The BiONETS project (BIOlogically inspired NETwork and Services) seeks inspiration from biological systems to provide a fully integrated network and service environment that scales to large amounts of heterogeneous devices, and that is able to adapt and evolve in an autonomic way.

In the BMBF-funded research project “BIZWARE”, a consortium of two research institutions and eight industry partners from Berlin develop a “model and software factory”. Different software applications are modeled, generated and executed on the basis of domain specific languages (DSL).

Data and information are the raw material of the 21st century and public data will therefore play a key role in tomorrow’s cities. The Berlin Open Data Portal daten.berlin.de is the first data portal of its kind in Germany. It provides public data in a structured, machine-readable format and under free license.

The BonFIRE (Building service testbeds for Future Internet Research and Experimentation) Project will design, build and operate a multi-site cloud facility to support applications, services and systems research targeting the Internet of Services community within the Future Internet.
