Projects of Andreas Heil

Data Grid Service  external link (2007/10 - 2011/12)
Team:Andreas Heil, Martin Gaedke, et al.
Supported by:VSR
Location:Chemnitz University of Technology
Nickname:WebComposition/DGS
Summary:The WebComposition/DGS continues the research within the WebComposition field and constitutes the first component of the fourth generation of the WebComposition approach. The WebComposition/DGS addresses the increasing need to store, access, manage and to publish ultra large amounts of data over the World Wide Web using a RESTful approach. The developed component addresses both, complex business-related scenarios as well as requirements in the context of Web2.0. The formal description of system-transcending relations allows furthermore modeling the interaction of different system components.

Autonomous Monitoring of Vulnerable Habitats
Team:Andreas Heil, T. Naumowicz, R. Freeman, M. Calsyn, E. Hellmich, A. Brändle, T. Guilford, J. Schiller
Supported by:Microsoft Research European Science Initiative
Location:Microsoft Research Cambridge
Nickname:Skomer
Summary:In this project we have developed an innovative system that can autonomously monitor animals and their habitats. Using a combination of wireless sensor networks and innovative software we are able to intelligently gather data from remote locations, relaying it back for local storage and processing and allow remote reconfiguration of the network by research scientists.

Federated Device Assemblies (2005/06 - 2007/01)
Team:Andreas Heil, Martin Gaedke, Christopher Thiele
Supported by:IT-Management and Web Engineering Research Group
Location:University of Karlsruhe
Nickname:FDX
Summary:Federated Device Assemblies (FDX) allow to federate device functionality across organisational boundaries based on Web service technologies. This is achieved by describing devices functionality in a machine readable abstraction. Using Web service technologies allows to access e.g. already existing security concepts.

Visual Robot Development Kit (2004/12 - 2007/06)
Team:T. Weis, A. Ulbrich, A. Brändle, Andreas Heil
Supported by:Microsoft Research Cambridge
Location:TU Berlin
Nickname:VRDK
Summary:The Visual Robot Development Kit (VRDK) was oringinally developed by Andreas Ulbrich and Torben Weis at the Technische Universität Berlin, Germany. The VRDK introduced the conept of meta programming different kinds of device, e.g., heterogeneous hardware specifications and runtime environments in a distributed environment. Written entirely in .NET the VRDK was extended by several target platforms such as fischertechnik, a modified Robosapien but also for software as Internet Explorer or Windows Media Player. The VRDK was used for further research at the University of Stuttgart, Germany. Basically the research for programming robots using the VRDK is not continued anymore since several research result ended up in the Microsoft Robotics Studio.

Anforderungsentwicklungssystem AES (1999/04 - 2003/04)
Team:M. Gebauer, O. Klar, Andreas Heil, et al.
Supported by:Deutsche Forschungsgesellschaft (DFG)
Location:University of Karlsruhe
Nickname:SFB346
Summary:As part of the Center of Excellence SFB346 "Rechnerintegrierte Konstruktion und Fertigung von Bauteilen", I spent four years with the Institute of Computer Applications in Design and Planning (RPK) University of Karlsruhe (TH). There we developed a distributed requirements engineering tool. The tool (AES) was integrated into the so-called "SFB-Desktop", a CORBA-based approach to integrate different distributed tools into a uniform user interface. Entirely written in Java, the rule-based Expert System Jess was applied to solve conflicts during the requirement engineering process. To achieve the project goals innovative concepts for information- and knowledge processing have been developed.
