The top floor of building Otto-Hahn-Str. 16 is our new home since the last relocation.
BaaS Model-House: Movie Presentation at ITEA Event 2016
The Model-House movie was presented at April, 28th, 2016,
during the Eureka Innovation Week in Stockholm, Sweden,
with very good responses.
PG ExcitingErgoRides: Gamescom-Exhbitors 2015
That's the exhibition booth of the student project group "ExcitingErgoRides".
The visitors were very impressed, particularly those trying a ride on the ergometer.
The project group was organized and supervised in cooperation with the Schüchtermann-Schiller’schen Kliniken,
one of the greater German heart centres.
The assembling of ergometer, movement simulation platform and Kinect observer, as depicted here, is subject of
the succeeding project group "Gamification 4 Rehabilitation".
Project Medolution
August 2015:
We are a member of the consortium of the international EU/Eureka/ITEA project
Medolution.
The project is funded by the German Federal Minister of Education and Research (BMBF).
Medolution’s vision is that the cost of healthcare can be reduced while improving the quality of life of patients.
The project aims to create smart environments that integrate professional and user created data.
This leads to relevant information to support patients and healthcare professionals in their decision making on diagnosis,
treatment and further monitoring; from reactive to preventive.
Medolution’s main technical challenges are: to deal with the enormous amounts of heterogeneous data and data sources,
to integrate and combine data, and to extract relevant information from them. Medolution must do this while ensuring safety and
reliability of the devices in the patient’s environment that produces and
consumes this data as well as ensuring security and privacy.
An important approach is the notion of a Big Dependable System (BDS) which is a dependable system
as well as a large networked systems connecting devices that themselves may not be dependable.
Dependability of the complete system emerges from the right management and orchestration.
The German subproject particularly aims to an improved support of artificial hearts.
Heart failure today is a major public health problem with a patient population of at least
10 million in Europe and approximately 5 million in North America. Because of organ-shortage,
increasingly the therapy of choice will be left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation.
The majority of patients cannot be discharged, at home yet, under quality of life conditions with
‘traditional’ LVADs, having a fixed pump speed. However, novel technical developments allow for this now.
Medolution allows monitoring of the patient activity and environment, in addition to the monitoring
of medical complications and technical functioning of the pump.
Project BaaS
March 2015:
The project BaaS participated in the common summit of the two
EU research programs ITEA and ARTEMIS at March, 10th and 11th,
in the Congress Center Berlin and won the ITEA Exhibition Award.
The building automation laboratory of our research group
contributed to that substantially by means of our building
automation model house.
The congress is organised by ITEA (EUREKA Cluster for software-intensive systems
and services)
and ARTEMIS (Industry Consortium for embedded and cyber-physical systems) and
concentrates on the presentation of about 60 projects in the
domain of Smart Industry.
August 2013:
We are a member of the consortium of the international EU/Eureka/ITEA project
BaaS.
The project is funded by the German Federal Minister of Education and Research (BMBF).
The BaaS project targets the need for comprehensive and open cross-domain management and control
services in today’s buildings.
The main innovations of the project include flexible integration mechanisms for existing building systems,
the abstraction of monitoring and control functions facilitating the aggregation and transformation of
building-related information on different levels, mechanisms for combining different sources of
information in a comprehensive building model, and goal-oriented control services.
The innovations shall lead to increased business value by enabling the creation of smart monitoring and
control services, as well as a comprehensive building information ecosystem.
OASIS
Since December 2008, the TU Dortmund is member of the Webservices standardization initiative
OASIS. In particular, our group contributes there to the standardization
of DPWS / WS DD as a voting member of the OASIS Web Services Discovery and Web Services Devices
Profile (WS-DD) Technical Committee.
