Current Projects
EASI–CLOUDS
Aim is the development of open standards for interoperability at all layers of the cloud computing stack (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) to support the federation of cloud services. The second goal is the extension of service composition concepts of the service-oriented architectures (SOA) for cloud computing.
Eneffco – Energy Efficiency Controlling in the Automotive Industry
The goal is to develop and implement a novel hard- and software concept that facilitates the reduction of energy consumption and energy costs in the automotive industry. JIAC is used for the realization of a modular software system to simulate operational modes of plant sections with relevant energy consumption.
ILIas – Intelligent Solutions for Protecting Interdependent Critical Infrastructures
ILIas will develop intelligent solutions for protecting critical infrastructures that provide electricity and telecommunication services to the general public. In order to achieve these goals, JIAC is employed. The distributed management system will provide a robust and fault tolerant foundation for the network analysis and administration functionalities, ensuring data availability and system control in case of different network failures.
SCC – Service Centric Car
The car of the future will seamlessly integrate itself into the life of the owner, by actively participating in the environment and interacting with the user. By integrating different systems in the car and embedding external services an experience can be created in which the car acts as a partner in the life of the user.
SOPRO – selforganising production
In the context of the research project SOPRO different forms and methods of selforganisation are investigated for their adequacy in production environments. The project is being funded by the German ministry for education and research and coordinated by the "Verband Deutscher Maschinen- und Anlagenbau e.V. (VDMA)". It is executed by a number of research institutes of the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft and the Berlin Institute of Technology. The work of the DAI Labor is conducted in close collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institut für Zuverlässigkeit und Mikrointegration (IZM).
SmartSenior
SmartSenior focuses on the possible ways for senior citizens to live an independent life. The aim is to support older people economically, socially and in terms of health in such a way that they can remain living in their familiar environment. The project is aimed both at senior citizens living generally independent lives, as well as at acutely or chronically ill older people in need of assistance and care.
Previous Projects
MAMS - Multi-Access, Modular Services Framework
The development of new services for telecommunication applications and other IT systems is one of the most important vehicles of innovation for telecommunication and other service providers. Competition and ever growing expectations of users require faster service developments and the means to deliver them promptly. Thus, the acceleration of the service development process requires the development of new concepts and tools. The MAMSplus project develops different approaches as answers to these problems.
Project HE-Lion – Integrating Electric Cars into the Energy Grid
The HE-Lion project is a cooperation between Energie Baden-Württemberg (EnBW) and the DAI Labor of the Technische Universität Berlin. The goal of the project is to examine different aspects of integrating electric cars into the electric energy system. The DAI Labor researches in this context the integration of car batteries into the home environment of the car owner. An intelligent energy management system facilitates this integration based on the energy consumption goals of the user.
MINI E V1.0 – MINI E powered by Vattenfall
Aim of Mini E V1.0 was to demonstrate the suitability of electric mobility for daily use as well as to reduce the carbon dioxide emission by using renewable energy in conjunction with electric vehicles. The approach was to use the car batteries as mobile storage for wind energy (wind-to-vehicle) and also as virtual power plants to support the stability of the grid (vehicle-to-grid).
GL V2.0 – Gesteuertes Laden V2.0
The objective of the project Gesteuertes Laden V2.0 was to increase both, efficiency and effectiveness of the smart charging approach. Based on the laboratory V2G setup of the predecessor project MINI E Berlin V1.0, electric vehicles and charging stations were respectively equipped and the system was adjusted to the dynamics of usage under real life conditions. By means of simulation, the effect of the implemented system was predicted for future scenarios.
