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 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 changes in energy policy pose new challenges to the power grid. Thermal power stations, windmills, photovoltaic plants as well as energy accumulators shall all be fed into the power supply system without causing any fluctuations. The control of such decentralized systems is performed using the VHPready standard.

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.

TTCN-3 is a standardized technology for test automation and a language for the specification of exchangeable software tests. It was designed by the European Telecommunication Standards Institute (ETSI). In the OT3-Project, Fraunhofer FOKUS has made available an open source implementation of language and of execution interface as well as execution environment.

The ReqMech project intends to develop and deliver a Requirements Engineering Framework that enhances the product development process of small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) in the field of mechatronics.

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).

The REMICS project deals with the issues of migration of existing applications to a Cloud environment using MDE technologies. The System Quality Center (SQC) is concerned with the quality assurance in the migration process and the creation of an adequate model-based tool environment.

DIAMONDS (Development and Industrial Application of Multi-Domain Security Testing Technologies) addresses the increasing need for systematic security testing methods by developing techniques and tools that can efficiently be used to secure networked applications in different domains.

With the help of Car-to-X Communication infrastructure, individual vehicles and a lot of further stakeholders have access to new, high resolution information in real time. Using this information, a broad spectrum of applications, especially for traffic safety and efficiency applications will be developed in simTD.

The project Open Cities advances our understanding on open innovation management in the public sector by combining three major fields of research: open innovation, future internet services and living labs in smart cities. The team is composed of partners from industry, applied research and academia.

OUTSMART (Opportunities for Urban Services Markets in Future Internet) will establish the foundations of a Future Internet enabled ecosystem, supporting the creation of innovative services and applications with real value to European economy and citizens in five example areas most critical to our society.
