Photonics West is the world's largest photonics technologies event. With three conferences (BIOS, LASE, OPTO) and a wide range of topics (biomedical optics, biophotonics, industrial lasers, optoelectronics, microfabrication, MOEMS-MEMS, displays, and more), this is the best place to present, network and learn.

In 2022, the Friends of Computer Science at TU Kaiserslautern (FIT e.V.) will again organize a Computer Science Practice Day - but digitally. At this event, experts from various companies will provide information about the challenges of their work. It opens up possibilities for students to continue their studies and shows what can be done during their studies to set the course for the future. We are also represented by a team from the division »High Performance Computing« and report on the work at our institute.

The seminar KL-Regelungstechnik (Kaiserslautern – Control Theory and Control Engineering) is organized by our department System Analysis, Prognosis and Control as well as several research groups of the TU Kaiserslautern. Dr. Svyatoslav Pavlichkov (TU Kaiserslautern, Mechatronics in Mechanical and Automotive Engineering (MEC)) will speak on the topic »Stability, Decentralized Control and Decentralized Adaptive Control of Infinite Networks«.

[The event is rescheduled due to the current situation for June 21 - 23, 2022.] E-world energy & water is the industry meeting place for the European energy industry. The topics of E-world 2022 are innovative solutions for the energy supply of the future – from generation, transport and storage to trading, efficiency and green technologies. The teams from the departments »System Analysis, Prognosis and Control«, »High Performance Computing«, »Optimization« and »Financial Mathematics« will present their research in the energy industry.

This year, TU Kaiserslautern is organizing a digital event for all math-enthusiastic students to get to know the university and the study program. Our institute director, Prof. Dr. Anita Schöbel, will be digitally on site and will present our work in her lecture »Energy, Health, Transport: Mathematics for a Good Future« starting at 11:05 pm. From 11:45 p.m., one of our consultants, Prof. Dr. Ralf Korn, will also contribute to the program with a lecture on the current topic »Corona rapid test positive ... and now?« will contribute to the program.

In the current vehicle engineering process for global markets, good data of the relevant environmental conditions and models for usage variability are crucial for the derivation of correct design requirements and targets. This concerns several fields in the development cycle, especially classical durability for drivetrains and the assessment of the vehicle’s energy efficiency. The software-suite VMC® provides all you need to analyse vehicle usage in different markets and regions, to plan measurement campaigns, to evaluate data and to simulate energy demands and consumption, vehicle drivetrain loads and performance based on suitable vehicle and driver models embedded in an efficient environmental model.

In the current vehicle engineering process for global markets, good data of the relevant environmental conditions and models for usage variability are crucial for the derivation of the correct design requirements and targets. This concerns several fields in the development cycle, especially the development and testing of ADAS/AD functionalities. The software-suite VMC® provides all you need to analyse vehicle usage in different markets and regions, plan measurement campaigns, evaluate data and simulate vehicle loads and performance based on suitable vehicle and driver models embedded in an efficient environmental model. In particular, this allows an highly efficient generation of realistic scenes and scenarios for the analysis and assessment of ADAS/AD systems. Moreover, with available high-resolution environmental data specifically chosen scenarios and the corresponding ADAS/AD performance can be investigated very efficiently.

Components that are exposed to mechanical loads need to be designed for real customer usage. Variability of loads and of production quality represent major challenges. Jurojin provides best availably statistical methods for durability engineers to tackle those challenges. The soft-ware provides accurate evaluations for engineers – using sophisticated statistics without requiring the user to have advanced statistics skills. At our technology day we demonstrate typical application examples and their effi cient solution in Jurojin.

[The workshop has been rescheduled for 3/24/2022]. The Predictive Analytics for Industry 4.0 group invites you to the first meetup event of the year. The topic of the online event is »Implement Predictive Maintenance Correctly: Best Practices, Tools and Practical Examples«. Dr. Benjamin Adrian, will give an insight into the different projects of Fraunhofer ITWM on predictive maintenance systems.
