Its heating system consists of different source and consumer circuits connected by a Zortstr{\"o}m reservoir. Our goal was to reduce the energy costs of the system as much as possible. Therefore, we analyzed its supply circuits. The first step towards optimization is a complete examination of the system: 1) Compilation of an object list for the system, 2) collection of the characteristic curves of the components, and 3) measurement of the load profiles of the heat and volume-flow demand. Instead of modifying the system manually and testing the solution by simulation, the second step was the creation of a global optimization program. The objective was to minimize the total energy costs for one year. We compare two different topologies and show opportunities for significant savings.}, language = {en} } @article{AltherrEdererPoettgenetal.2015, author = {Altherr, Lena and Ederer, Thorsten and P{\"o}ttgen, Philipp and Lorenz, Ulf and Pelz, Peter F.}, title = {Multicriterial optimization of technical systems considering multiple load and availability scenarios}, series = {Applied Mechanics and Materials}, volume = {807}, journal = {Applied Mechanics and Materials}, editor = {Pelz, Peter F. and Groche, Peter}, isbn = {1660-9336}, doi = {10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMM.807.247}, pages = {247 -- 256}, year = {2015}, abstract = {Cheap does not imply cost-effective -- this is rule number one of zeitgeisty system design.

With modern optimization methods, it is already possible to plan an optimal technical system considering multiple objectives.

Not just personal data is shared (e.g. in social networks) but also mobility. Together with the increased ecological awareness of the recent years, new mobility concepts have evolved. E-carsharing has become a symbol for these changes of attitude. The management of a shared car fleet, the energy management of electric mobility and the management of various carsharing users with individual likes and dislikes are just some of the major challenges of e-carsharing. Weaving it into integrated mobility concepts, this raises complexity even further. These challenges can only be overcome by an appropriate amount of well-shaped information available at the right place and time. In order to gather, process and share the required information, fleet cars have to be equipped with modern information and communication technology (ICT) and become so-called fully connected cars. Ensuring the usability of these ICT systems is another challenge that is often neglected, even though it is usability that makes carsharing comfortable, attractive and supports users' new attitudes. By means of an integrated and consistent concept for human-machine interaction (HMI), the usability of such systems can be raised tremendously.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{WolfLenz2015, author = {Wolf, Martin R. and Lenz, Laura L.}, title = {The economic effectiveness of serious games in the healthcare environment : application and evaluation of the Comparative Transformation Model (CTM)}, series = {IEEE 3rd International Conference on Serious Games and Applications for Health : SeGAH 2014 ; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, May 14 - 16}, booktitle = {IEEE 3rd International Conference on Serious Games and Applications for Health : SeGAH 2014 ; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, May 14 - 16}, publisher = {IEEE [u.a.]}, address = {Piscataway, NJ}, isbn = {978-1-4799-4823-9}, doi = {10.1109/SeGAH.2014.7067089}, pages = {135 -- 142}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @article{KlingeOttoMuehl2015, author = {Klinge, Uwe and Otto, Jens and M{\"u}hl, Thomas}, title = {High Structural Stability of Textile Implants Prevents Pore Collapse and Preserves Effective Porosity at Strain}, series = {BioMed Research International}, volume = {2015}, journal = {BioMed Research International}, issn = {2314-6133 (Print)}, doi = {10.1155/2015/953209}, pages = {7 pages}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{LindenlaufHoefkenSchuba2015, author = {Lindenlauf, Simon and H{\"o}fken, Hans-Wilhelm and Schuba, Marko}, title = {Cold Boot Attacks on DDR2 and DDR3 SDRAM}, series = {10th International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (ARES) 2015}, booktitle = {10th International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (ARES) 2015}, doi = {10.1109/ARES.2015.28}, pages = {287 -- 292}, 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{Huening2016, author = {H{\"u}ning, Felix}, title = {Power Semiconductors for the automotive 48V board net}, series = {PCIM Europe 2016 Conference Proceedings}, booktitle = {PCIM Europe 2016 Conference Proceedings}, publisher = {VDE Verl.}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-8007-4186-1}, pages = {1963 -- 1969}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @article{FerreinSteinbauer2016, author = {Ferrein, Alexander and Steinbauer, Gerald}, title = {20 Years of RoboCup - A Subjective Retrospection}, series = {KI - K{\"u}nstliche Intelligenz}, volume = {30}, journal = {KI - K{\"u}nstliche Intelligenz}, number = {3}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {1610-1987}, doi = {10.1007/s13218-016-0449-5}, pages = {225 -- 232}, year = {2016}, abstract = {This summer, RoboCup competitions were held for the 20th time in Leipzig, Germany.

A great deal of excellent research in the field exists, but practical applications at real disaster sites are scarce. Many projects concentrate on equipping robots with advanced capabilities, such as autonomous exploration or object manipulation. In spite of this, realistic application areas for such robots are limited to teleoperated reconnaissance or search. In this paper, we investigate how well state-of-the-art and off-the-shelf components and algorithms are suited for reconnaissance in current disaster-relief scenarios. The basic idea is to make use of some of the most common sensors and deploy some widely used algorithms in a disaster situation, and to evaluate how well the components work for these scenarios. We acquired the sensor data from two field experiments, one from a disaster-relief operation in a motorway tunnel, and one from a mapping experiment in a partly closed down motorway tunnel. Based on these data, which we make publicly available, we evaluate state-of-the-art and off-the-shelf mapping approaches. In our analysis, we integrate opinions and replies from first responders as well as from some algorithm developers on the usefulness of the data and the limitations of the deployed approaches, respectively. We discuss the lessons we learned during the two missions. These lessons are interesting for the community working in similar areas of urban search and rescue, particularly reconnaissance and search.}, language = {en} }
