Autonomous explorative robots frequently encounter scenarios where multiple future trajectories can be pursued. Often these are cases with multiple paths around an obstacle or trajectory options towards various frontiers. Humans in such…
Agentic AI prototypes are being deployed across domains with increasing speed, yet no methodology for their structured design, governance, and prospective evaluation has been established. Existing AI documentation practices and guidelines…
This paper presents the development of a fully autonomous delivery robot integrating mechanical engineering, embedded systems, and artificial intelligence. The platform employs a heterogeneous computing architecture, with RPi 5 and ROS 2…
This work relates to context-awareness of things that belong to IoT networks. Preferences understood as a priority in selection are considered, and dynamic preference models for such systems are built. Preference models are based on formal…
Internet of Things (IoT) devices are available in a multitude of scenarios, and provide constant, contextual data which can be leveraged to automatically reconfigure and optimize smart environments. To realize this vision, Artificial…
Architectural design contexts contain a set of factors that influence software application development. Among them, organizational design contexts consist of high-level company concerns and how it is structured, for example, stakeholders…
The ADS platform is undergoing the biggest rewrite of its 20-year history. While several components have been added to its architecture over the past couple of years, this talk will concentrate on the underpinnings of ADS's search layer and…
Artificial intelligence (AI) is an extensive scientific discipline which enables computer systems to solve problems by emulating complex biological processes such as learning, reasoning and self-correction. This paper presents a…
We showcase an application that leverages multiple agents, powered by large language models and integrated tools, to collaboratively solve complex network operation tasks across various domains. The tasks include real-time topology…
A Multi Robot System (MRS) is the infrastructure of an intelligent cyberphysical system, where the robots understand the need of the human, and hence cooperate together to fulfill this need. Modeling an MRS is a crucial aspect of designing…
Due to the complex and dynamic character of intersection scenarios, the autonomous driving strategy at intersections has been a difficult problem and a hot point in the research of intelligent transportation systems in recent years. This…
In this paper we apply the Named Data Networking, a newly proposed Internet architecture, to networking vehicles on the run. Our initial design, dubbed V-NDN, illustrates NDN's promising potential in providing a unifying architecture that…
Parametric models abstract part of the specification of dynamical models by integral parameters. They are for example used in computational systems biology, notably with parametric regulatory networks, which specify the global architecture…
Given its increasing popularity in recent years, teleoperation technology is now recognized as a robust fallback solution for Automated Driving (AD). Remote Assistance (RA) represents an event-driven class of teleoperation with a distinct…
This report has two objectives. First, we describe a set of the production distributed infrastructures currently available, so that the reader has a basic understanding of them. This includes explaining why each infrastructure was created…
This document describes an IoT system reference architecture. It is a general system architecture in the sense that it embodies key system components, functions, and flows that are commonly encountered in IoT systems. Much of the existing…
Various German and European research projects created several isolated solutions for intelligent transportation systems (ITS) infrastructure. As a matter of fact, a lot of those solutions are temporary. The backend architecture provided by…
Systems-of-Systems (SoS) result from the collaboration of independent Constituent Systems (CSs) to achieve particular missions. CSs are not totally known at design time, and may also leave or join SoS at runtime, which turns the SoS…
In-vehicle communication technologies are evolving. While today's cars are equipped with fieldbusses to interconnect the various electronic control units, next generation vehicles have timing and bandwidth requirements that exceed the…
Many problems can be solved by iteration by multiple participants (processors, servers, routers etc.). Previous mathematical models for such asynchronous iterations assume a single function being iterated by a fixed set of participants. We…
