The Energy+IT-Group participated in the second Connectathon Energy that was held for the first time in Vienna at the FH Technikum Wien. The purpose of Connectathon is to let companies and institutions connect their devices to each other to promote interoperability. Marcus Meisel, Stefan Kollmann, Alexander Wendt and Stefan Wilker used a setup of a Customer Energy Management System (CEMS) from the project Inigrid. A connection test through the IEC61850 standard to measure values from three other systems were sucessfully completed. The Energy+IT-group demonstrated its ability to design and implement interoperable software infrastructures in heterogenous smart grids landscapes.

On 30.1.2019 Viennese pupils had the opportunity to get to know the study at the TU Vienna. Some have chosen ICT, where the topic of machine learning was presented by Alexander Wendt from the Energy + IT group. In a short lecture with exercises, the students were introduced to the basics of machine learning. The students might be unaware that they are already learning the mathematical tool in school to solve complex linear regression problems. With the motivation that they can subsequently develop a software that autonomously controls cars or detects anomalies in engine noise, they might be inspired to study with us.

“Supply chain compromise: Adding undetectable hardware Trojans to integrated circuits

Is it possible for attackers to equip integrated circuits with hardware Trojans that will not change the area or power consumption of the IC, making them thus indiscernible through power-based post fabrication analysis?

A group of researchers from the National University of Sciences and Technology (Islamabad, Pakistan), the Vienna University of Technology and New York University have proven it is.”

The Paper will be presented at Design Automation and Test Europe (DATE) in March 2019 in Florence, Italy.

Über das Projekt KORE wurde in “Die Presse” berichtet.

Im Rahmen des Projekts KORE (Kognitive Regelstrategieoptimierung zur Energieeffizienzsteigerung in Gebäuden) hat die Energy&IT-Gruppe des Instituts für Computertechnik der TU Wien in Zusammenarbeit mit Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT) und der Automation Systems Group der TU Wien (ASG) eine kognitive Architektur eingesetzt, um Regelungsstrategien in Gebäudeautomationssystemen zu erzeugen. Ein Beitrag dazu wurde am 21.09.2018 in “Die Presse” veröffentlicht.
