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. 

The main strategic objective of C-CAST is to evolve mobile multicasting to exploit the increasing integration of mobile devices with our everyday physical world and environment. Thus, C-CAST will provide an end-to-end context-aware communication framework specifically for intelligent multicast-broadcast services to deliver context-aware multimedia content to a set of users efficiently.

With carriers rolling out 3G networks and the mobile devices being capable of access various wireless technologies (WLAN, UMTS, DVB, etc.) available bandwidth and throughput is increasing. This has led future applications such as unicast (multicast, broadcast) audio or video streaming to become practical on mobile devices.

Configuration and Provisioning of End-User Services in Premium IP Networks

The goal of CampusOS is to build a modular ecosystem for open 5G campus networks based on open radio technologies and interoperable network components. This is intended to enable vendor independence and more competition as well as innovation in order to strengthen the digital sovereignty of companies in Germany.

Millions of passengers take to the sky every day and their entertainment is a key feature of modern-day air travel. From the first in-flight movie screened in 1921 at an exposition in Chicago, to single aisle coach style television systems in the late 1970s, today’s in-flight entertainment (IFE) systems offer each passenger with their own personal system. The collaborative research project CANARIA (Cloud-enabled Aircraft Network and ARtificial Intelligence-based data Analysis), funded by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) aims to create such an innovation IFE system based on a federated communication and edge-computing network architecture. CANARIA bring together state-of-the-art technologies in networked aircraft of the future, cloud computing, and cutting-edge methods for data processing using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML).

The Carneades argumentation system is a web-based collaborative software system for the (re-)construction, evaluation, visualization and interchange of arguments.

FOKUS investigates and develops autonomic systems. Within the CASCADAS project, its three main fields of interest are: dynamic online feedback and control loops for cooperating autonomic communication elements (ACE), the ACE component model, and a distributed testbed for validation of research results.
