Quality Engineering Projects

The ProMo-Projekt works on smart production and maintenance environments.

A 360° simulation arena was installed at the University of Duisburg-Essen to train rescue operations in challenging situations.

The SPRINT project - short for Software Platform for Integration of Engineering and Things - aims at overcoming the challenges presented by today's silo'ed approach, where the actual integration and testing of various components is only possible once a system can be completely assembled.

The development of quantum algorithms, potentially exponentially faster than classical algorithms, is attracting widespread interest in business and science. To implement these algorithms in accessible and user-friendly quantum programming the project “Qompiler - Standardized Quantum Software Stack” a software stack with a higher-level quantum programming language is being developed.

The project SchleusenNOK40 enables improved lock management through data-based traffic forecasts and knowledge-based planning and optimization processes. A planning and information system was developed for this purpose as part of the project. The aim is to provide better support for lock personnel in their decisions. Waterway users can thus obtain improved information about possible waiting and clearance times at the locks for their own planning.

The goal of MUSE (Multicore-Architecture for Sensor-based Position Tracking in Space) is to improve the positioning of spacecraft. In this project, Fraunhofer FOKUS explores to what extent modern multicore processors are suited for analyzing sensor data in space, and how appropriate computer architecture should be set up.

Within the TT-Medal project, industrial and academic research teams have started a common offensive to establish a basis for the industrial application of tests and testing methodologies with advanced languages.

The IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is defined by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) and represents the reference service delivery platform architecture for the provision of IP Multimedia services within emerging mobile all-IP network environment, such as UMTS Release 5.

The FORTIKA project contributes to reducing the overall risk of cyber-crime against SMEs. They shall be able to react appropriately to attacks and incidents without having to invest a lot of resources themselves to secure their systems against external attacks. FORTIKA therefore follows a security by design hybrid approach, which provides protection based on hardware and software at the same time.

In the METAR project, Fraunhofer FOKUS supports the BMW Group by assisting them with different work packages and groups of the AUTOSAR development partnership. Scientists from Fraunhofer FOKUS work on the development of AUTOSAR interchange formats and the configuration of AUTOSAR basis software modules.
