Objective:

To reduce the risk of a relapse of a serious acute illness in the old age an active reorientation of the lifestyle is often necessary, motivated through the affected person.  An international research team investigates in the EU-funded project "vCare - Virtual Coaching Activities for Rehabilitation in Elderly" how a bespoke shift from a rehabilitation phase to the home environment can be realised by means of an intelligent linking of health information, details concerning the living environment and the continuous interaction with the affected persons.

One out of six people in the EU has a disability, usually caused by an acute episode or a chronic disease (i.e., heart disease, heart attack, stroke, Parkinson disease). Providing a suitable rehabilitation is the main issue for people, especially at advanced age, as it helps people to live independently and enhance their Quality of Life. Virtual Coaches can help these patients to proceed with a personalized rehabilitation that complies to age-related conditions, as the key technology for empowering patients through the enhancement of the adherence to the care plan and the risk prevention. The vCare project addresses two major shortcomings of the status quo: a participatory design driven by users’ needs and the personalization of care pathways enabled by technology. The results of vCare shall stimulate the European Healthcare & ICT sector for innovations in the field of integrated care. In sum, vCare will contribute to the EU goal to increase healthy life years of Europeans by two until 2020.

Objective:

The increasing socio-demographic change is causing an elder population in Europe. There is a lack of resources to maintain this shift in European Health Systems, which causes an inevitable unsustainability of the health systems. At the same time, stakeholders in the healthcare sector are fragmented. Doctors have problems that companies cannot solve while patients are affected by this situation. Since there are often no adequate ways of integrated and home care, treatment usually ends in the hospital. In terms of technology, there are no standards for the provision of IoT services in the health and care sector. In connection with the lack of interoperability in this sector, it is quite complex to connect the needs of the different actors and to build on them.

As part of the HORIZON 2020 program, the GATEKEEPER project, financed with 21.3 million Euros, was officially started on October 25 in Madrid. The initiative is coordinated by Medtronic Ibérica and comprises 43 partners, which are spread across health technology companies, research institutes or large universities, healthcare providers and networks for technological innovations. During a 42-month work plan, the project will be expanded to provide solutions involving around 40,000 older citizens on the supply and demand side (authorities, institutions, companies, associations, universities) in 8 regional communities from 7 EU member states are.

Objective:

The chair of Business Management, especially Industrial Management is pleased to start work on the EU project ONEforest in June. Together with 18 project partners from eight countries, the chair will be involved in conducting research for a project duration of three years. Funding for the overall project of around €5.2 million is provided by the European research program Horizon 2020.

The project aims to develop a multi-criteria decision support system that will enable different stakeholders in forestry to make long-term strategic decisions according to individual objectives. Forest owners will be able to assess which way of forest management is advantageous under current and future ecological and economic conditions. The Chair of Industrial Management is particularly responsible for the development of the problem-specific mathematical model and the development of a solution algorithm for the multi-criteria decision problem. At the end of the project duration, a prototype of the decision support system is going to be made available as an executable file to decision makers from practice.

Objective:

Many people experience time and performance pressure in digitized work despite stimulating tasks and sufficient personal freedom. In the long term, this can lead to exhaustion and psychosomatic complaints as well as increased downtime, demotivation, and fluctuation. The reasons for this are presumed in terms of temporal and quantitative self-induced and external demands on the employees. So far, there are no long-term results for complex mental work since there are no suitable methods for determining reasonable amounts of work.

The core objective of the project is to avoid overloading of employees by means of self-imposed and externally imposed time and performance pressures. The project focuses on digitized activities that require a high degree of knowledge processing and independent decision making. Steps in this design project are the further development, introduction, comprehensive testing, and generalization of a practicable and transferable approach which in the case of complex digital knowledge and innovation work prevents impairments on the performance and health of employees, develops competences, and thus makes social innovations possible.

This approach, which is to be introduced into the pilot firms and to be made available for transfer, is intended to combine an innovative process optimization with the subsequent agreement of reasonable workload. At the same time, the deficiencies of the work design are to be identified as working obstacles and hindrances to the work process, and therefore to be eliminated as far as possible. A participatory approach which allows both the best possible expertise for the respective work tasks to be optimized and the consensus of all project partners, is selected for this. It is intended to combine health promotion with increased competence as a social innovation in the work process. Finally, a monetary and non-monetary evaluation of the effectiveness of the developed approach is carried out using approaches to process optimization, time-driven activity-based costing, and time-based accounting.

An adaptive-iterative business intelligence system for fault diagnosis and prognosis in production and logistics processes based on lean data acquisition and voice assistance

Objective:
The aim of the research project is to develop a business intelligence system with self-learning artificial intelligence for the description, diagnose and prognosis of malfunctions in production and logistics processes in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). In this context, the data acquisition and analysis is to be designed "LEAN", using a voice assistance system.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) often face a non-satisfactory data acquisition strategy in production. Either a detailed data acquisition with a high acquisition resolution causes a lot of effort and corresponding costs or a coarse-aggregated, incomplete acquisition often leads to the non-recognition of target-actual deviations, such as malfunctions or improvement potentials. A solution to this conflict lies in a demand-oriented adaptation of the feedback resolution. In the research project, an adaptive-iterative business intelligence system (BIS) for fault diagnosis and prognosis is therefore developed which detects and analyzes problem areas through targeted data recording in production. At the same time, waste due to too much feedback (too high a resolution) is avoided (lean principle). The BIS should intelligently perform a target/actual comparison and dynamically determine the degree of resolution of the data recording in order to systematically uncover problem areas. Using voice assistance as the recording medium, feedback is provided with little effort and in parallel to the main activity in the simplest form of communication - natural language. In the long term, machine learning methods enable the BIS to predict deviations at an early stage and thus ensure a trouble-free production process.

Objective:

By closely interlinking development processes, logistics and production with Industry 4.0 technologies, iDev40 achieves a disruptive step towards speedup in time to market. By developing and implementing a digitalization strategy for the European electronic components and systems industry a “breakthrough change” is initialized.

Addressing European Policies for 2020 and beyond iDev40 aims to offer solutions to some difficult societal and organizational challenges, like innovate technologies to master the increasing complexity of development and manufacturing of ECS “made in Europe” regarding digitalization approaches and high quality knowledge. Strengthen European competitiveness through interdigitated development and production. Due to the creation of skilled jobs specific areas of logistics, products and processes are virtualized. The collaboration of key European ECS actors in terms of digitalization is strengthened. “Knowledge workers” in manufacturing as well as development and assessment of global value chains are supported by smarter machines (AI).

iDev40 covers the whole value chain to provide sustainable, digital and industrial solutions for integrated development and production.

Objective:

Transformation processes at district and city level form a pillar of the energy transition in Germany. The approx. 8300 employees and 36000 students account for a considerable part of the city's energy and traffic volumes. The CAMPER-MOVE project is dedicated to the challenges that arise in the course of the necessary transformation processes for the TU Dresden campus. It builds on the project CAMPER (funded by the BMWi, FKZ 03ET1319A, duration 10/2015 - 03/2019), in which an energy and GHG development plan was prepared on the basis of an in-depth energy analysis and put to practical measures. In CAMPER-MOVE, practical implementations are to be supported by scientific monitoring and optimization and assessed with regard to their effect and practical suitability. The experiences flow into further conceptual considerations. "MOVE" stands symbolically for the transformation process towards an energy efficiency campus, which is driven by scientific support.

Objective:

The integration of renewable energies into the energy system while maintaining high levels of security of supply requires an effective, Europe-wide electric grid. For this reason, the importance of meaningful electric grid modeling is increasing. A wide array of methodological approaches for the modeling of (extra) high-voltage grids has developed over the past years. The approaches can lead to different and sometimes contradicting results. Therefore, the overarching goal of the research project MODEX-Net is a comparison of existing grid models within the European context. With model experiments, differences in methods and data are systematically identified and analyzed, specifically focusing on the role of demand- and supply-side flexibility options. Based on the insights, recommendations for the advancement of grid models will be derived to enhance their informative value for the "Energiewende" (energy transition).

Objective:

This research project is funded under the joint call on smart water management for a sustainable society and brings together 11 academic institutions from 5 European countries and Japan. The aim of the project is to promote cooperation between these two geographical regions on smart urban water reuse uptake under a private public partnership scheme.

Water availability is becoming a growing challenge in the urban systems and this could be magnified by extensive industrial activities. Sustainability of cities and communities rely on sustainable industrial activities, which could face drawbacks in their operations, especially the sectors that rely heavily on water. Water reuse has been applied in the agricultural sector worldwide, but its uptake in the urban environment on an industrial setting is still not widely considered. SMART-WaterDomain seeks to develop efficient and sustainable water management systems that optimize quality and quantity of water at stages of its supply, discharge, reclamation and resource recovery and to address links and gaps between available technologies and industrial requirements on water quality and quantity.

The project foresees the development of a tool that will enable digitally accounting for wastewater re-use that can be used to “credit” companies and utilities that substitute freshwater for treated wastewater. Furthermore, through the collaboration on an international setting, SMART-WaterDomain aims to enhance and develop new interdisciplinary and intercultural insights into research designs for the use of wastewater as part of a wider water sustainability strategy.

As one of the German partners of this project, TUD aims to identify opportunities and barriers in using wastewater treatment technologies by industries and to address key challenges from stakeholders across the industrial, political and social sphere. The partners will collect, analyse and present technical, environmental and economic data for private and public (utility) actors in order to measure, monitor and manage water sustainability, as well as develop indicators and undertake data-collection/analysis protocols in order to demonstrate successes of schemes.

Objective:

Until now, the expansion of onshore wind and PV capacities characterized the energy transition in Germany. The increasing installation of offshore wind capacities will lead to a more centralized feed-in of fluctuating wind energy in the North of Germany. In the long term, also decentralized generation structures can establish themselves, for instance in the form of the aspired increased sector coupling for increasing the flexibility of the energy system and reducing fossil fuel demand in the heating and transport sectors.

Therefore, both centralized and decentralized technologies and their concerted combination will have to contribute to the success of the energy transition. Currently, however, there are many challenges, which necessitates a better understanding for the coordination of technology options as well as the coordination of available management tools, also across sector boundaries. This requires an analysis of the future energy scenarios and the resulting technological interdependencies from a comprehensive system-oriented perspective as well as the development of scientific methods. 

Consequently, the goal of the project is to analyze the conditions for the best coordination between (de-)centralized technology options to contribute to an efficient implementation of the energy transition. This requires a better understanding of the system integration and potential linking of technology options. For this, intra-sectoral and cross-sectoral solutions will be explored and evaluated. Based on this technology-oriented research follows an analysis of economic approaches for the market design and management tools for adequate incentives in the system’s context. The goal is to investigate what shares of centralized and decentralized sector coupling elements are desirable from a system perspective, which required an analysis and balancing of trade-offs.

Objective:

The Eastern Saxony network for Stroke (SOS-NET) has developed a reference application for the ICT-supported care for the acute stroke in the stationary area. Essential components are an integrated care pathway (SOS-Care), which extends over rehabilitation up to one year, into the period of ambulatory after-care. The technological foundation is being created since the middle of 2015 by the CCS-Telehealth East Saxony (CCS-THOS), which the Carus Consilium Saxony GmbH is developing jointly with T-Systems International GmbH. It is additionally supported by the European Union and the Free State of Saxony with ERDF funds. This pathway is quality-assured for the care and documentation, which is technically implemented using the acute and rehabilitation clinics. Within the scope of a follow-up program, the patient is looked after by one or more case managers by using this pathway.

Objective:

Complex chronical illnesses require next to an intensive medical treatment often the inclusion of informal caretakers. The relatives of the diseased person are usually faced with the care and organisation of support. A highly important resource in this context are information about the disease and the necessary measures. The project IBMS – the development of an integrated Care Portal for patients with Multiple Sclerosis – main objective is to create a better connection between professionals and supporting care providers (informal). Furthermore, the patients as well as their relatives should be better supported in managing their chronical illness.

Together with our partners, the Multiple Sclerosis Centre (MSZ) at the Centre for Clinical Neuroscience (University Medical Centre Dresden) and the Carus Consilium Sachsen GmbH, there will be developed an eHealth-application that covers all needs of informal and formal caretakers as well as patient-requirements. Therefore, the already existing documentation system for patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MSDS3D) will be connected to the telemedical infrastructure CCS Telehealth Ostsachsen (THOS). Thereby (there) is created an institution-spanning electronical file, that can be also used by the patient itself. The project hence focuses on an improvement of the individual quality of care for patients as well as an optimised use of resources in the public health care sector.

Objectives:

The overarching goal of the research project AlgoWork is to examine the conceptual nature and worker-level implications of algorithmic control (AC), broadly defined as the managerial use of sophisticated algorithms along with advanced information technology (IT) as a means to align worker behaviors with organizational objectives. As such, AC is distinct from traditional, human-based control because the source of control originates from algorithms and the delivery of control is provided by IT interfaces. While AC is increasingly employed in both platform-based and traditional organizations and across low-skill and high-skill work contexts, it remains underexplored in terms of its defining characteristics and often-ambivalent implications for workers. For example, existing control research in information systems (IS) has almost exclusively focused on studying human-based control relationships in different IT contexts (e.g., IT projects), thereby largely neglecting the role of IT within managerial control processes. Consequently, there is a practically and scientifically relevant need to study how the use of AC affects individual workers and their day-to-day work behaviors.

Objective:

The concept of role modeling has been introduced in different fields and at different times in order to model context-related information, including the dynamic change of contexts. But up to now, roles have mainly been used in an isolated way for context modeling in programming languages, in database modeling or to specify access control mechanisms. Never have they been used consistently at all levels of abstraction in the software development process, i.e. modeling of concepts, languages, applications and software systems. Only then, software can be defined as consistently context-sensitive.

The central research goal of this DFG research training group is to prove the feasibility of consistent role modeling and its applicability. Consistency means that roles are used systematically for context modeling on all levels of the modeling process. This includes the concept modeling (in meta-languages), the language modeling, and the modeling on the application and software system level.

There are four aims of this program that will contribute to the main goal of research in this field:

• Formalizing the universal concept of roles. The aim is to prove that it is a feasible concept for developing context-sensitive software. This means to integrate the concept in classical, object-oriented modeling implying thus its expansion.
• Researching the dynamic aspect of roles.
• Investigating the consequences of those new attributes of role-based software on the duration. New concepts for coping with dynamic processes have to be developed. Research will focus on the influence context-specific aspects of the role-concept have on the process of developing software and the lifetime of software.
• Evaluation of context-sensitive role-modelling using practical examples. This will help to illustrate the results and to present the advantages of these concepts.

Objective:

Existing constructions from concrete or steel reinforced concrete generally have a low resistance to short-term dynamic stresses, such as impact, detonation or earthquakes. The central objective of the graduate school is to make exsting buildings and structures more resistant by the application of flat, thin-layer reinforcements. By the use of new mineral-bound composites, people's safety and important infrastructure can be significantly enhanced. The developed principles will furthermore enable the economic and ecological building of new structures, that will be highly resistant to impact stresses.

The Chair of Sustainability Management and Environmental Accounting supervises the three-year dissertation project „C2: Analysis and assessment of the sustainability and resilience of reinforcement methods with new composites“. The aim of the project is to develop an assessment concept that already takes the research and development phase into account through a sustainability and resilience assessment and results in more resilient and more sustainable composite materials. The concept aims to take technical, financial, societal and ecological influencing parameters into account and to enable quantitative prognoses and scenarios.

Summary:
Intensive care unit (ICU) capacity is crucial for the treatment of the most severely sick patients. Due to the common lack of ICU bed availability, the ICU physician in charge must triage which patient can be sent to the regular ward when new critical patients arrive. The choice of an ideal candidate for transfer is subject to a variety of medical and operational factors compounded by uncertainty regarding the recovery process of each individual. It may also come at times of high workload or fatigue.
This project aims to develop a software-based decision support system that helps clinicians identify patients who are most suitable for transfer to a lower ward. Our approach is to analyze historical ICU data to estimate the effects of a potential transfer on patient outcome in the presence of specific combinations of vital signs and operational factors. The software tool evaluates the current state of ICU patients along with their therapeutic characteristics and proposes a set of eligible transfer candidates. Alternatively, it provides the physician with an aggregate easy-to-interpret eligibility score for each patient.

Objective:

All railway companies are facing increasing competition. Operating authorities frequently invite tenders for operational services on railway lines or networks on a Europe-wide basis. One requirement in the tender documents issued to the operator is compliance with on-board staff attendance rates, i.e. a stipulated percentage of trains that need to be staffed (in the form of local public transport conductors or inspectors). In order to provide the required services as cost-efficiently as possible and avoid penalties, it is necessary to fulfil the stipulated attendance rates and make the best possible use of available personnel. The different manifestations of on-board staff attendance rates pose a significant challenge to personnel planning in the context of both tender preparation and operation. Planning requires the creation of shift schedules, which minimize the necessary deployment of personnel and satisfy the requirements of the Arbeitszeitgesetz (German Working Hours Act) and the collective bargaining agreements. The aim of the project is to develop a software solution for DB Regio AG for solving and optimizing this problem. Mathematical model formulations and powerful operations research methods are used in this context.

Objective:
The project aims to establish an international interdisciplinary collaboration between Technische Universität Dresden (TUD) and King's College London (KCL) on the topics of wellbeing and resilience competency development. Our project’s goals are twofold: to provide in-depth research-based insights into the development of resilience as a competency for current and future professionals and to adapt and develop novel learning approaches that can be used as interventions to promote and enhance both competency and wellbeing among different students of different subjects and in different settings (e.g., face to face and online settings). In this sense, we aim to bridge research on education, learning, psychology and neuroscience to strengthen our interdisciplinary research cooperation and to provide young researchers and students with opportunities for exchange in both academia and research.

Our project will commence with research on implementing a collaborative teaching programme focused on developing competency in resilience and wellbeing. Due to current challenges and social distancing urged by COVID-19, our partner at KCL designed a novel online coaching programme, titled “Time to Thrive”, which we plan to offer to university students at TUD. The project’s results will be examined and evaluated by the international research group, including students in both institutions.

The research group also plans to enhance cooperation on additional related topics with other partners within our universities.
