Coordinated Projects

[Background] In large open-source software projects, development knowledge is often fragmented across multiple artefacts and contributors such that individual stakeholders are generally unaware of the full breadth of the product features. However, users want to know what the software is capable of, while contributors need to know where to fix, update, and add features. [...]

Macromolecular x-ray crystallography (MX) is the premiere technique for determining the structure of proteins, a critical step in the understanding of biological function, including dis-eases and their treatment. Radiation damage is a fundamental limiting factor in protein structure solution via MX [...]

Constrained devices on the Internet of Things (IoT) continuously produce and consume data. LwM2M manages millions of these devices in a server-centric architecture, which challenges edge net-works with expensive uplinks and time-sensitive use cases. [...]

The reconstruction of the trajectories of charged particles, or track reconstruction, is a key computational challenge for particle and nuclear physics experiments. While the tuning of track reconstruction algorithms can depend strongly on details of the detector geometry, the algorithms currently in use by experiments share many common features. [...]

Superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities are used in modern particle accelerators to take advantage of their very high quality factor (Q). A higher Q means that a higher RF field can be sustained, and a higher acceleration can be produced in the cavity for length unity. [...]

Runtime monitoring is a lightweight verification technique that ensures correct execution of a system based on a specification, e. g., in Linear Temporal Logic (LTL). [...]

Developers have proposed various hardware accelerators to improve the CNN inference performance on embedded platforms. Recently, Xilinx announced its first 7-nm FPGA accelerator, the Versal ACAP, delivering a high-performance, heterogeneous computing platform adaptable to the application requirements. [...]

Neural radiance field (NeRF), in particular its extension by instant neural graphics primitives, is a novel rendering method for view synthesis that uses real-world images to build photo-realistic immersive virtual scenes. Despite its potential, research on the combination of NeRF and virtual reality (VR) remains sparse. [...]

A mobile robot is an important type of robot commonly used to explore remote environments that are hazardous and inaccessible for humans. However, operating a mobile robot to explore a remote environment using the conventional 2D user interfaces could be challenging, especially when exploring an environment where unexpected robot behavior has to be avoided. [...]

In this poster paper, we present a mixed reality application for laser eye protection based on a video see-through head-mounted display. With our setup, laser lab users perceive the real environment through the head-mounted display, using it as a substitute for laser safety goggles required by health and safety regulations. [...]
