Quality Engineering Projects

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.

The project SchleusenNOK40 enables improved lock management through data-based traffic forecasts and knowledge-based planning and optimization processes. A planning and information system was developed for this purpose as part of the project. The aim is to provide better support for lock personnel in their decisions. Waterway users can thus obtain improved information about possible waiting and clearance times at the locks for their own planning.

TAG CLOUD is a European project co-funded by the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Commission that will generate lifelong engagement with cultural heritage through social media, augmented reality and storytelling applications based on the cloud.

The joint research project “Stadt-Land-Fluss (SLF)” developed a sustainable solution for strengthening “regional food systems” using various AI tools based on a multi-layer “SLF-ICT ecosystem” as a service and integration platform as part of the research focus “Artificial Intelligence (AI) in agriculture, the food chain, healthy nutrition and rural areas”.

Standardized communication protocols and technical specifications do require unique descriptions for testing. Scientists of Fraunhofer FOKUS are part of the Special Task Forces (STFs) and Testing Task Forces (TTFs) of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), whose objective it is to define test specifications using TTCN-3 and to maintain TTCN-3.

The ProEnv project is working on smart production and maintenance environments of the future.

The goal of the project is to develop a platform and associated tools and services for the economic development and integration of quantum software in the cloud.

In the PlanQK project, a web-based knowledge platform for so-called quantum-assisted artificial intelligence (QKI) is being developed. The goal is to create a technical basis for promoting knowledge and technology exchange between quantum and AI experts, developers, and potential users of QKI.

The MIDAS project aims at building an integrated framework for SOA testing automation that will be available as a Software as a Service (SaaS) on a cloud infrastructure. The framework spans all the testing activities: test generation, execution, evaluation, planning and management.

Cyber-physical Systems (CPSs) must be reliable, robust, efficient, safe, and secure, even in the presence of uncertainty. U-Test will aim to improve the dependability of CPSs by defining extensible MBT frameworks supporting holistic testing of the systems under uncertainty in a cost-effective manner.
