Institute at the University of Klagenfurt
In the Smart Grids Group at the Institute of Networked and Embedded Systems, our Cyber-Physical Systems Lab may be small, but it is packed with potential. Over the years, our students have tackled some fascinating projects, from developing a smart meter measuring system [1] and implementing the RAPSim microgrid simulator […]
Udo Schilcher, Senior Researcher at the Institute of Networked and Embedded Systems, recently completed his post-doctoral university teaching qualification (habilitation) in Information and Communications Engineering. His research centres on improving communication between individual devices without connecting them via cables. There are potential applications in all wireless networks, from mobile phone […]
We talk about self-fulfilling prophecies when something we have predicted comes true as a result of our conscious and unconscious actions. Jack Bryson, university assistant in the Ada Lovelace Programme, is using modelling and simulations to find out which social science phenomena can cause banks to fail. We encounter self-fulfilling […]
In the academic landscape, the importance of visibility in research and teaching cannot be overstated. This sentiment was at the forefront of discussions during our recent institute workshop, where participants focused on the intricate dynamics of attracting, recruiting, and lecturing. The two-day workshop, organized under the umbrella topic of “Visibility […]
After an extensive period of comprehensive research, encompassing literature review, hypothesis formulation, modeling, implementation, and several weeks of simulation, we showcased our paper titled “A Graph-Based Approach for Applying Biologically-Inspired Slime Mold Algorithms for Repairing a Power Transmission Network after an Electromagnetic Pulse Attack” at the 2nd International Conference on […]
Digitization and sustainability are in the spotlight in both science and politics. Exploring the connections and areas of tension between digitization and sustainability makes it possible to identify new challenges and prospects of sustainable development. The thematic link between digitization and sustainability affects an essential area of our lives and […]
Aerial drones connected to cellular networks can affect the throughput of common cell phone users. System-level simulation results were presented at an ACM MobiSys workshop earlier this week. Today’s commercial drones rely on Wi-Fi and proprietary technologies for wireless connectivity. Alternatively, drones could connect to cellular networks, like 5G, which […]
Ms. Cornelia Klein, has been working as a university assistant at the Institute for Public Business Administration of Alpen Adria University for three years and passes by the “Bunte Knöpfe” kindergarten at Lakeside Park every day in her wheelchair. In the past, there have been individual questions from the children […]
In “Ageing Safely in the Digital Era: A New Unobtrusive Activity Monitoring Framework Leveraging on Daily Interactions with Hand-Operated Appliances” (Bousbiat, Leitner and Elmenreich 2022), we suggest a new interactive framework to unobtrusively monitor elderlies’ behavior based on their interaction with electrical appliances involved in their daily activities. Due to […]
Anyone who believes that students of the technical sciences spend all their time in lecture halls and laboratories is taught otherwise at the University of Klagenfurt. Christian Bettstetter, Udo Schilcher and Melisa Midžan recently organised a trip to the Museum of Technology Vienna for the students in their course “Principles […]
