The steadily increasing size of the user base results in a greater demand for training as well. User groups range from students in academia to industry professionals with a broad spectrum of developers in between. To deliver high quality training and education to any of these audiences, educators need to tailor individual curricula for any such training. In this paper, we present an approach to ease compiling curricula for ROS trainings based on a taxonomy of the teaching contents. The instructor can select a set of dedicated learning units and the system will automatically compile the teaching material based on the dependencies of the units selected and a set of parameters for a particular training. We walk through an example training to illustrate our work.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HeuermannHarzheimMuehmel2021, author = {Heuermann, Holger and Harzheim, Thomas and M{\"u}hmel, Marc}, title = {A maritime harmonic radar search and rescue system using passive and active tags}, series = {2020 17th European Radar Conference (EuRAD)}, booktitle = {2020 17th European Radar Conference (EuRAD)}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {New York, NY}, isbn = {978-2-87487-061-3}, doi = {10.1109/EuRAD48048.2021.00030}, pages = {73 -- 76}, year = {2021}, abstract = {This article introduces a new maritime search and rescue system based on S-band illumination harmonic radar (HR).

This system was able to detect and range the active tags up to a range of 5800 m in tests on the Baltic Sea with an antenna input power of only 100 W. All electronic GHz components of the system, excluding the S-band power amplifier, were custom developed for this purpose.

Once a trajectory has been found, the next challenge is to accurately and safely follow the precalculated path. The model-predictive controller (MPC) is a common approach for the lateral control of autonomous vehicles. The MPC uses a vehicle dynamics model to predict the future states of the vehicle for a given prediction horizon. However, in order to achieve real-time path control, the computational load is usually large, which leads to short prediction horizons. To deal with the computational load, the control algorithm can be parallelized on the graphics processing unit (GPU). In contrast to the widely used stochastic methods, in this paper we propose a deterministic approach based on grid search. Our approach focuses on systematically discovering the search area with different levels of granularity. To achieve this, we split the optimization algorithm into multiple iterations. The best sequence of each iteration is then used as an initial solution to the next iteration. The granularity increases, resulting in smooth and predictable steering angle sequences. We present a novel GPU-based algorithm and show its accuracy and realtime abilities with a number of real-world experiments.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{AllalBannisterBuismanetal.2022, author = {Allal, D. and Bannister, R. and Buisman, K. and Capriglione, D. and Di Capua, G. and Garc{\´i}a-Patr{\´o}n, M. and Gatzweiler, Thomas and Gellersen, F. and Harzheim, Thomas and Heuermann, Holger and Hoffmann, J. and Izbrodin, A. and Kuhlmann, K. and Lahbacha, K. and Maffucci, A. and Miele, G. and Mubarak, F. and Salter, M. and Pham, T.D. and Sayegh, A. and Singh, D. and Stein, F. and Zeier, M.}, title = {RF measurements for future communication applications: an overview}, series = {2022 IEEE International Symposium on Measurements \& Networking (M\&N)}, booktitle = {2022 IEEE International Symposium on Measurements \& Networking (M\&N)}, publisher = {IEEE}, isbn = {978-1-6654-8362-9}, issn = {2639-5061}, doi = {10.1109/MN55117.2022.9887740}, pages = {1 -- 6}, year = {2022}, abstract = {In this paper research activities developed within the FutureCom project are presented.

At the same time the awareness and knowledge about cybersecurity, particularly in the context of ICS, is alarmingly low. Industrial honeypots offer a cheap and easy to implement way to raise cybersecurity awareness and to educate ICS staff about typical attack patterns. When integrated in a productive network, industrial honeypots may not only reveal attackers early but may also distract them from the actual important systems of the network. Implementing multiple honeypots as a honeynet, the systems can be used to emulate or simulate a whole Industrial Control System. This paper describes a network of honeypots emulating HTTP, SNMP, S7communication and the Modbus protocol using Conpot, IMUNES and SNAP7. The nodes mimic SIMATIC S7 programmable logic controllers (PLCs) which are widely used across the globe. The deployed honeypots' features will be compared with the features of real SIMATIC S7 PLCs.
