Artificial intelligence (AI) is being treated as a key technology that can make cars drive intelligently and autonomously, supply chains easier to plan, production processes more efficient, and thus achieve sustainability goals. However, legal-ethical issues, data protection, and resilience also play a role in the use of AI. The SPATIAL (Security and Privacy Accountable Technology Innovations, Algorithms, and Machine Learning) project, which has now been launched, aims to answer questions relating to trustworthy AI.

The production of high quality motion pictures, especially in 3D, is an intricate and costly undertaking. For this reason, four Fraunhofer institutes, which constitute the Fraunhofer Alliance Digital Cinema, cooperate in the project SpatialAV to develop solutions that allow for the generation of high quality 3D content while at the same time keeping technical production costs low.

Making Hamburg's warehouse district a digital experience for everyone is the goal of the “Speicherstadt digital” project. In the project, a free app for the operating systems Android and iOS is being developed, which tells the story of Hamburg's UNESCO World Heritage Site. The scientists of the Visual Computing division are developing the augmented reality mode in the app - from the user interface, to GPS-based navigation to the sweet spot, to perspective image adjustment.

In order for control centers and situation centers to maintain an overview despite the increasing amount of information due to more and more available data sources such as cameras or sensor data, Fraunhofer FOKUS is developing a semantic and intelligent dashboard. It will not only display information, but also enable collaboration and interaction with other stakeholders (politics, citizens, emergency forces on site) and integrate volunteers into the crisis management in a targeted manner.

The BMBF funded project Software Platform Embedded Systems XT (SPES_XT) is composed of 21 partners from industrial companies and research institutions working on topics like the seamless, methodic and tool-based integration of model and analysis technologies into the development process of embedded systems.

SPICE will research, prototype, and evaluate an extendable overlay architecture and framework to support the creation, testing, and deployment of intelligent mobile services.

SPIDER (Spam over Internet Telephony Detection Service) is a research project supported within the Sixth Framework Programme of the EU Commission. The project acronym stands for "Spam over Internet Telephony Detection Service". With Voice over IP calls being offered for free or for a flat rate, Spam over Internet Telephony (SPIT) has at least the same potential to become a major annoyance for users worldwide, as it is the current situation with e-mail spam. The SPIDER project will deliver a solution to detect and prevent unsolicited VoIP calls and instant messages.

The SPRINT project - short for Software Platform for Integration of Engineering and Things - aims at overcoming the challenges presented by today's silo'ed approach, where the actual integration and testing of various components is only possible once a system can be completely assembled.

In the STANCE project, ten European partners from science and industry want to provide a toolbox for source code analyses, which can be used to verify that software systems are immune to certain categories of attacks.

Reducing carbon emissions through sustainable urban mobility solutions based on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) - this is the major objective of the STREETLIFE project.
