Vision-based surveillance systems

by

Researchers from the Institute of Networked and Embedded Systems at the University of Klagenfurt have published results on different aspects of vision-based surveillance systems.

Book on self-aware computing systems

by

Bernhard Rinner and his team intensively contributed to the book on self-aware computing systems published by Springer. This book comprehensively covers the latest results from a European Future Emerging Technologies project Engineering Proprioception in Computing Systems (EPiCS) and is the first ever to focus on the emerging field of self-aware […]

UWB sensor networks in airplanes

by

Modern airplanes are equipped with hundreds of embedded sensors and actuators necessary for structural health monitoring, aircraft control, and passenger and crew assistance. These devices are typically interconnected by wires. Using wireless connections instead of wires improves flexibility of installations and reduces the airplane’s weight. Researchers from Airbus Group Innovations […]

Energy-aware mobile robot exploration

by

This work presents an approach for energy efficient path planning during autonomous mobile robot exploration. The idea is for a robot to efficiently explore the environment and periodically return to the starting point of the exploration for recharging the battery. The focus is to reduce the overall travel path as […]

Book on power-line communications

by

The most comprehensive text on power line communications (PLC) is now available. It is a book co-edited by Lutz Lampe, Andrea M. Tonello, and Theo G. Swart. It shows some adjustments from the previous edition in content including new material on PLC for home and industry, PLC for multimedia, PLC […]

Synchronization with phase rate correction

by

There is a broad spectrum of work on pulse-coupled oscillators (PCO) to model synchronization phenomena in biology, physics, and other sciences. A prominent example is swarms of fireflies that synchronize their blinking behavior. The beauty of these synchronization phenomena lies in the fact that system-wide synchrony emerges among the participating […]

Awards for Tonello group

by

Professor Tonello is now chair of an IEEE committee on power line communications. He and his co-authors received two paper awards at the IEEE International Symposium on Power Line Communications.

Self-aware camera networks

by

Camera networks are now ubiquitous and have applications in security, disaster response, environmental monitoring, and smart environments, among others. Recent technological advances have led to next-generation: real-time, distributed, embedded systems that perform computer vision tasks using multiple cameras. Bernhard Rinner’s research team and partners have proposed a computational framework that […]

Achieving consensus in networks with disturbances

by

The problem of finding a consensus in a group of people occurs in many social contexts. In a similar way, distributed algorithms for consensus play an important role in networked computing and communication systems if centralized decision making is difficult or impossible. Each entity in such a system processes only […]

Coordinated multi-robot exploration

by

How can multiple mobile robots may be utilized to explore unknown buildings? Torsten Andre and a team of students developed and implemented software packages for the robot operating system for this purpose.
