New Research Project DORIOT
We are starting a new project called DORIOT which is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
Together with our colleagues at the University of Magdeburg, University of applied sciences Bielefeld, AKKA DSO GmbH and Thorsis Thechnologies GmbH, we will work on a dynamic runtime environment for organic (dis) aggregating IoT processes: "German: Dynamische Laufzeitumgebung für organisch (dis-)aggregierende IoT-Prozesse".
The project started in May 2019 and will finish in 2022.
More information will be available soon.
New Research Project MOSAIK
We are starting a new project called MOSAIK which is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
Together with our colleagues at the University of Erlangen, DFKI (German Research Center for AI), Robert BOSCH GmbH and NETSYNO Software GmbH, we will work on Methodologies for the self-organized aggregation of interacting components: "German: Methodik zur selbstorganisierten Aggregation interaktiver Komponenten".
The project started in May 2019 and will finish in 2022.
More information will be available soon.

SYnENZ Symposium
Rudolf Kruse war die Co-Organizer von SYnENZ Symposium, die im Februar in Braunschweig stattgefunden hat. Im Rahmen des Symposiums wurde über Zusammenwirken von natürlicher und künstlicher Intelligenz und insbesondere die grundsätzliche rechtliche, ethische und anthropologische Probleme interdisziplinär diskutiert. Renommierte Wissenschaftler aus der Wissenschaft und Industrie haben daran teilgenommen und aktiv mutdiskutiert. Highlight des Symposiums waren die Vorträge von Professor Wolfgang Wahlster (DFKI) und Professor Andreas Kruse (Uni Heidelberg). Fakultät für Informatik der Otto-von-Guericke-Universtität war zusätzlich von Sanaz Mostaghim vertreten, die einen Vortrag über “Kooperation mittels Schwarmintelligenz” gehalten hat.
