Some current projects

 

 

• Inventory Management (Deutsche Telekom)

  In this project, we investigate how processes, products and IT can be aligned in order to optimize business needs. To this end, methods from service-oriented architectures (SOA), fractal factories and IT-governance are combined and extended. We emphasize the advantages of viewing a modern company as an IT-company with adjacent IT-services.

• Front-Loading (Deutsche Telekom)

  Typically, the launching of new products conflicts with ressources and processes of existing products or parallel product launches. The aim of this project is to model the technical, process, management and IT aspects of such front-loading processes in a form that allows to simulate them beforehand. The simulation will provide predictions and evaluations as to optimally integrate product launches into the existing enterprise. The main idea is to transfer concepts from software-technologies to this new domain in order to maintain flexibility and agility.

• Simulation of IT-Systems (Bundeswehr)

  Confidential.

• IRRIIS: Integrated Risk Reduction of Information-based Infrastructure Systems (EU)

  Public life, economy and society as a whole depend to a very large extend on the proper functioning of critical infrastructures (CIs) like energy supply or telecommunication. The EU Integrated Project IRRIIS - Integrated Risk Reduction of Information-based Infrastructure Systems - aims at protecting these infrastructures.

• DIESIS: Design of an Interoperable European federated Simulation network for critical InfraStructures (EU)

  DIESIS proposes to establish the basis for a European modelling and simulation e-Infrastructure based upon open standards to foster and support research on all aspects of critical infrastructures with a specific focus on their protection. This European e-Infrastructure will support full cooperation of the different partners in charge for studying (inter)dependencies of critical infrastructures, while preserving the confidentiality of the proprietary knowledge embedded into the different models and simulation packages.
