Research on self-organizing networked systems SD

Lightscribe -- writing with light -- An idea of our trainees could be realized in a few days -- or better to say -- nights. We exported text and graphics as vectors and computed optimized route plans for our Microdrone MD4 UAV. The projective camera model was considered in the route planning, thus the UAV was flying always at the same altitude but the result exposed to the spectators at the computed position on the ground was upright and almost free of distortions. For drawing on the sky we replaced the camera module by a custom ciruit powering two 3.5 Watts LED lamps combined with an alloy reflector to make the light even visible on sunny days.

For saving the idea's output we did long time exposures over the whole flight, for more than six minutes, which results in gorgeous pictures.

In this short video clip the cDrones team at Alpen-Adria Universität Klagenfurt and Lakeside Labs demonstrate their multi-UAV system for covering large areas.

Mastering complex systems in technology: In this video István Fehérvári explains complex systems and how to master its problems. Furhtermore he shows the FREVO tool witch can be downloaded from frevotool.tk

SOMA I.T. is an transdisciplinary research and development project of the department of Information Technology (ITEC&NES, soma.lakeside-labs.com) and the department of Intervention Research and Cultural Sustainability (http://www.uni-klu.ac.at/iff/ikn). It is part of our project SOMA (Self Organizing Multimedia Architecture). Especially, it is based on the methodology of intervention.

"Wissen schaffen." is a book which shows the current research activities at the University Klagenfurt. The round of talks, with DI Reinhard Petschacher, Prof. Dr. Mario Huemer and Prof. Dr. Christian Bettstetter, is one part of this interesting volume.

The SOMA Team wants to investigate how multimedia content is created in a social event, and how this content can be used for our self-organizational approach of detecting and presenting "situations of interest" (as, e.g. "crowd formation"). In this video you can see the SOMA team explaining thier research on the basis of the SOMA World Games event at the Lakeside Labs.

The goal of this research activity is to elaborate basic concepts for a straightforward generic design process for creating self-organizing solutions, consisting of the stages modeling, simulation and iteration, validation, re-iteration or deployment. In this video the DEMESOS-Team explaining their work and the goals of thier research.

See how easy it is to work with our Software for microdrones.

The project "Self-Organizing Slot Synchronization" (Triple-S) in cooperation with the Klagenfurt University will contribute to research in the area of self-organizing synchronization of wireless networks. Beside the development, the stability and misconduct of the en closured equipment and the behavior during the synchronization will be analyzed. In particular, we analyze the robustness against misbehavior of mobile devices during synchronization.
