But the pure availability of different energy technologies in the system is not enough. By optimising the electricity usage as well as the capacities of PV generators, storage technologies, heat pumps and battery electric vehicles, not only the best solution in a technical point of view can be achieved, the need of finding the most financially beneficial system composition for single-family houses and tenements is possible. The study provides a detailed model for average German single-family houses and tenements and results for the energy transition period until 2050 for the optimised energy systems regarding optimised PV and stationary battery capacities and different heat storage capacities. Most noticeable outcomes can be observed by using a vehicle-to-home car, where a car can mostly take over the tasks of a stationary battery and by introducing a solidarity model using this type of car in tenement systems.}, language = {en} } @article{HaumerKralVukovicetal., author = {Haumer, Anton and Kral, Christian and Vukovic, Vladimir and David, Alexander and Hettfleisch, Christian and Huzsvar, Attila}, title = {A Parametrization Scheme for High Performance Thermal Models of Electric Machines using Modelica}, series = {IFAC Proceedings Volumes}, volume = {45}, journal = {IFAC Proceedings Volumes}, number = {2}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {1474-6670}, doi = {10.3182/20120215-3-AT-3016.00187}, pages = {1058 -- 1062}, abstract = {Thermal models offer great advantages for enhancement of design, protection and control of electric machines. Detailed thermal models take a great number of time constants into account and provide accurate prediction of the temperatures. However, to parameterize such models detailed geometric data are needed. Whenever such detailed information is not available, or the performance of the detailed models is not satisfying, simplified thermal models as described in this paper are advantageous. The calculation of parameters is described in detail, in order to achieve best accordance with temperatures obtained from measurements or from simulations with detailed thermal models. Thermal resistances are calculated from end temperatures of a test run with constant load (and known losses). Thermal capacitances are obtained using optimization to minimize deviation of simulated and measured temperatures during the whole test run. The thermal model of an asynchronous induction machine with squirrel cage is coupled with an electrical model of the drive. For validation, simulation results of an optimally parameterized simplified model are compared with temperatures obtained by simulation of a detailed thermal model, which in turn has been validated against measurement results, both for continuous duty S1 and intermittent duty S6 (6 minutes no-load followed by 4 minutes of 140\% nominal load). The deviations are not more than 4 K which is quite satisfying.}, language = {en} } @article{SavelievFetisovChashinetal., author = {Saveliev, Dmitry V. and Fetisov, Leonid Y. and Chashin, Dmitri V. and Shabin, P.

Named the Gaze Relational Index (GRI), this metric is defined as the ratio of mean fixation duration to fixation count. Data from two eye-tracking studies of professional vision and visual expertise in using 3D dynamic medical visualizations are presented as cases to illustrate the suitability and additional benefits of the GRI. Calculated values of the GRI were higher for novices than for experts, and higher in non-representative, semi-familiar / unfamiliar task conditions than in domain-representative familiar tasks. These differences in GRI suggest that, compared to novices, experts engaged in more knowledge-driven, top-down processing that was characterized by quick, exploratory visual search. We discuss future research aiming to replicate the GRI in professional domains with complex visual stimuli and to identify the moderating role of cognitive ability on GRI estimates.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{OsinskiMottok, author = {Osinski, Lukas and Mottok, J{\"u}rgen}, title = {A Multicore Fault Tolerance Approach Based on Coded Processing}, series = {Embedded Real-Time Software and Systems Conference (ERST²), Jan 2018, Toulouse/France}, booktitle = {Embedded Real-Time Software and Systems Conference (ERST²), Jan 2018, Toulouse/France}, abstract = {Development trends for computing platforms moved from increasing the frequency of a single processor to increasing the parallelism with multiple cores on the same die.

In this context, model-to-model mappings of software component models of heterogeneous frameworks for automotive services and to explore the synergies in their interface semantics, have become an essential factor in improving the interoperability among the automotive and other cross-domain enterprises. However, one of the challenges in achieving cross-domain component interface model-to-model mappings at an application level lies in detecting the interface semantics and the semantic relations that are conveyed in different component models in different frameworks. This paper addresses this challenge using a Model Driven Architecture (MDA) based analytical approach to explore interface semantic synergies in the cross-domain component meta-models that are used for automotive services. The approach applies manual semantic checking measurements at an application interface level to understand the meanings and relations between the different meta-model entities of cross-domain framework software components. In this research, we attempt to ensure that interface description models of software components from heterogeneous frameworks can be compared, correlated and re-used for automotive services based on semantic synergies. We have demonstrated our approach using component meta-models from cross-domain enterprises, that are used for the automotive application domain.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{WickLindnerZimmeretal., author = {Wick, Michael and Lindner, Gerhard and Zimmer, Katja and Schreiner, Rupert and Fuhrmann, Thomas and Seebauer, Gudrun and Xu, Boqing and Zheng, Jihong and Wang, Ning}, title = {German-Chinese cooperative Bachelor in engineering physics/optoelectronics}, series = {14th Conference on Education and Training in Optics and Photonics: ETOP 2017; Hangzhou, China 29.05.2017 - 31.05.2017}, booktitle = {14th Conference on Education and Training in Optics and Photonics: ETOP 2017; Hangzhou, China 29.05.2017 - 31.05.2017}, editor = {Liu, Xu and Zhang, Xi-Cheng}, publisher = {SPIE}, isbn = {9781510613812}, doi = {10.1117/12.2269943}, abstract = {The University of Shanghai for Science and Technology (USST), the Coburg University of Applied Sciences and Arts (CUASA) and the OTH Regensburg, University of Applied Sciences (OTHR) established an English taught international cooperative bachelor program in the area of Engineering Physics/Optoelectronics.
