These broad fields are essential for robotic systems, yet it makes it difficult for the researchers to specialize and be experts in all these fields. Collaboration between researchers allow for the integration of experience and specialization, to allow optimized systems. Collaboration between the European countries and South Africa is critical, as each country has different resources available, which the other countries might not have. Applications with the need for approval of any restrictions, can also be obtained easier in some countries compared to others, thus preventing the delays of research. Some problems that have been experienced are discussed, with the Robotics Center of South Africa as a possible solution.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{FrotscherStaat2015, author = {Frotscher, Ralf and Staat, Manfred}, title = {Homogenization of a cardiac tissue construct}, series = {CMBE15 : 4th International Conference on Computational \& Mathematical Biomedical Engineering ; 29th June - 1st July 2015 ; {\´E}cole Normale Sup{\´e}rieure de Cachan ; Cachan (Paris), France}, booktitle = {CMBE15 : 4th International Conference on Computational \& Mathematical Biomedical Engineering ; 29th June - 1st July 2015 ; {\´E}cole Normale Sup{\´e}rieure de Cachan ; Cachan (Paris), France}, editor = {Nithiarasu, Perumal}, publisher = {CMBE}, address = {[s.l.]}, issn = {2227-9385}, pages = {645 -- 648}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BonneyHoefkenPaffenetal.2015, author = {Bonney, Gregor and H{\"o}fken, Hans-Wilhelm and Paffen, Benedikt and Schuba, Marko}, title = {ICS/SCADA Security - Analysis of a Beckhoff CX5020 PLC}, series = {1st International Conference on Information Systems Security and Privacy : ICISSP 2015}, booktitle = {1st International Conference on Information Systems Security and Privacy : ICISSP 2015}, organization = {International Conference on Information Systems Security and Privacy <1, 2015, Angers>}, pages = {1 -- 6}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{FerreinKallweitScholletal.2015, author = {Ferrein, Alexander and Kallweit, Stephan and Scholl, Ingrid and Reichert, Walter}, title = {Learning to Program Mobile Robots in the ROS Summer School Series}, series = {Proceedings 6th International Conference on Robotics in Education (RiE 15)}, booktitle = {Proceedings 6th International Conference on Robotics in Education (RiE 15)}, pages = {6 S.}, year = {2015}, abstract = {The main objective of our ROS Summer School series is to introduce MA level students to program mobile robots with the Robot Operating System (ROS).

As a basic robot platform we deploy a 1/10 RC cart that is wquipped with an Arduino micro-controller to control the servo motors, and an embedded PC that runs ROS. In two weeks, participants get to learn the basics of mobile robotics hands-on.

Major elements of the Passivhaus concept are a high thermal insulation of the external walls, the use of heat and/or solar shading glazing as well as an airtight building envelope in combination with energy-efficient technical building installations and heating or cooling generators, such as an efficient energy-recovery in the building air-conditioning. The objective of this research project is the inquiry to determine the parameters or constraints under which the Passivhaus concept can be implemented under the arid climate conditions in the Arabian Peninsula to achieve an energy-efficient and economical building with high utilization comfort. In cooperation between the Qatar Green Building Council (QGBC), Barwa Real Estate (BRE) and Kahramaa the first Passivhaus was constructed in Qatar and on the Arabian Peninsula in 2013. The Solar-Institut J{\"u}lich of Aachen University of Applied Science supports the Qatar Green Building Council with a dynamic building and equipment simulation of the Passivhaus and the neighbouring reference building. This includes simulation studies with different component configurations for the building envelope and different control strategies for heating or cooling systems as well as the air conditioning of buildings to find an energetic-economical optimum. Part of these analyses is the evaluation of the energy efficiency of the used energy recovery system in the Passivhaus air-conditioning and identification of possible energy-saving effects by the use of a bypass function integrated in the heat exchanger. In this way it is expected that on an annual basis the complete electricity demand of the building can be covered by the roof-integrated PV generator.}, language = {en} }
