This document discusses using semantic web technologies to improve interoperability in the design and construction industry. It describes current interoperability issues and the use of building information modeling (BIM) and industry foundation classes (IFC) for information exchange. It proposes enhancing interoperability through a semantic web approach, including uploading IFC data to an IFC/RDF graph and developing parallel descriptions of building information in different formats like IFC/RDF, AIM/RDF, X3D/RDF, and STL/RDF to allow for querying, reasoning, and other applications. While this semantic web approach could help address interoperability challenges, more work is still needed.
The document discusses whether ontologies can help in the preliminary design stage of architectural projects. It notes that information and communication technologies are currently better utilized in later design stages like building information modeling, but ontologies may provide a new approach to support earlier conceptual design phases through semantics-based documentation and information management. The authors consider how ontologies and semantics could help describe designs before they are built by representing objects and their properties, dimensions, and cultural meanings.
This document discusses trends related to Industry 4.0. It covers several topics: - Fraunhofer researchers are developing solutions like secure data sharing networks and testing cybersecurity in production environments to address challenges in Industry 4.0. - A project called StemCellFactory is demonstrating that comprehensive machine networking can also be applied to biotechnology production, adjusting processes in real-time based on cell growth data. - Breaking up conventional production lines into more flexible systems is a promising approach being explored in a research project, allowing different product families to be manufactured simultaneously.
This document provides a strategic research agenda for the ICT Innovationplatform Productsoftware. It identifies 19 research topics to investigate how to better enable loose coupling between user-owned data, customer-owned functions, and vendor-owned processing. The goal is to simplify user access to societal and economic services through netcentric processing and reducing complexity. The vision is to create a "softportNL" hub that enables collective management of software ecosystems aligned with societal information networks through federated software product management. The strategy is to build competence in this area through executing nationally and European funded research projects.
The Bandwagon Moves on M2M Summit 2016 By Prof. Dr.-Ing. Axel Sikora, Dipl.-Ing. Dipl. Wirt.-Ing.
The 2017 II-SDV Conference in Nice, 24 - 25 April 2017 The II-SDV meeting takes place in Nice in April 2017 for an intensive two days. Venue is the Hotel Plaza in central Nice. The meeting provides an international forum for those in the field of advanced search applications, data and text mining, and visualization technology. The primary focus is on tools for intelligence and the meeting examines the requirements of specialists in scientific and technical information. The meeting will be of interest to those who wish to update themselves and keep in touch with the leading edge of information search and analysis technologies; it features approximately 22 speakers for the two days. There will be an adjacent, focused exhibition to complement the conference programme.
The document discusses an interview with Gregg Vanderheiden, who has been working in assistive technologies for 39 years. He discusses his background and involvement in developing early augmentative communication devices. He then focused on computer access and universal design. Currently, his work aims to build accessibility directly into digital products and infrastructure through initiatives like the National Public Inclusive Infrastructure. The interview covers topics like the underutilization of assistive technologies, the role of open source communities in initiatives like "Raising the Floor," and the need for more user involvement in product development.
The document summarizes the fourth issue of the AEGIS newsletter, which focuses on the upcoming AEGIS conference and new release of odt2braille software. It includes an interview with Gregg Vanderheiden, director of the Trace R&D Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, about his background in assistive technologies and current work on creating infrastructures to build accessibility into all technologies. The AEGIS survey found that few people with disabilities use assistive technologies and that training is often lacking, highlighting the need for certification standards. The "Raising the Floor" initiative aims to directly integrate accessibility into technologies so anyone can access features they need on any device.

This document discusses synchronous professional development provided through web conferencing tools. It provides definitions and discusses the benefits of synchronous interactions compared to asynchronous communications like email. It then describes features of the VIA3 web conferencing platform that allow all meeting participants to see presentations simultaneously including animations, videos, and interactions like chat. The document analyzes web conferencing using McLuhan's tetrad model and discusses the innovation decision process of diffusion and consequences. It provides examples of needs, knowledge stages, research, development, and commercialization perspectives for organizations considering synchronous professional development through web conferencing.
The industry day of the conference aims to bring together people from both academia and industry in a venue that highlights application and practical impact. I'm pleased to present there on August 22nd 2011. Stay tuned for the prez file after the event !

The annual report summarizes the research activities of the Institute of Parallel and Distributed Systems (IPVS) at the University of Stuttgart from April 2009 to March 2010. Key events included celebrating the institute's 20th anniversary in June 2009 and two new faculty joining. Research focused on applications of parallel and distributed systems, image understanding, parallel systems, simulation of large systems, and distributed systems. Notable projects involved data management in manufacturing, business impact analysis, and simulation technology.
