Two Paper Accepted at iV 2025 Conference

/in , , , , /by

Today, I received the good news that my two submitted papers were accepted for this year’s International Conference on Information Visualisation, taking place in Darmstadt.
In the present information era, most aspects of our lives depend on and are driven by data, information, knowledge, user experience, and culture. Information Visualisation, Visual Analytics, Business Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Data Science are only a few research areas of the current state of the art, enabling to increase of the comprehension of the information on which is based the infrastructure of our society. The International Conference on Information Visualisation is concentrated on these hot topics.  As in the previous edition, this year, there will be the opportunity to start international cooperation and European research projects and discuss with international relevance keynote speakers. The conference is articulated in symposia, with details and further information available on the Symposia webpage.

The accepted papers present our latest works in the research project CliCE-DiPP toward:

  • Process Mining for Production Optimization in Smart Manufacturing[1], for which we developed a completely new approach that makes use of Process Mining in Manufacturing to simplify the collection of consumed resources to generate accurate Carbon Footprints for Digital Product Passports.
  • DPPviewer: A Visual Analytics Approach for Optimizing Production Chains on Digital Product Passports[2] is a generic solution to make Digital Product Passports human accessible and analyzable.

TU Seminar Finished with E2COMATION and CliCE-DiPP Topics

/in , , , , /by

With the current winter term 2023/2024, I co-organized the seminar “Visual Trend Analysis” at the TU Darmstadt and offered some exciting topics about energy consumption and energy management in the industry. The topics were majorly motivated by the European research project E2COMATION, which has the optimization of energy usage as the goal, at multiple hierarchical layers of a manufacturing process as well as considering the whole life-cycle perspective across the value chain, and the German CliCE-DiPP research project, that aims at developing a digital CO2 product passport based on the Asset Administration Shell (AAS), a standardized framework for the exchange and provision of information. After the seminar ended, I was again impressed by the results, which document great overviews of the existing related works, but also current scientific insights over the entire energy management domain in the producing industry, such as sensorization, but also analysis, and regulation with/without artificial intelligence methods.

I expect to consider the results of the seminar in the E2COMATION project, in better aligning our achievements to the list of applied approaches and maybe to also optimize our approaches by best practices from the other research works. Furthermore, the results could help to complete scientific publications in particular the related works.

It is planned to continue the collaboration with the Human-Computer Interaction & Visual Analytics team at the seminar next year and I thank Prof. Dr. Nazemi for the opportunity of contributing our industrial-driven research topics to the seminar.

 

Students Work on E2COMATION and CliCE-DiPP Topics in TU Seminar

Also in the current semester, I got the opportunity together with the Human-Computer Interaction & Visual Analytics team to hold the seminar “Visual Trend Analysis” at the TU Darmstadt in the Department of Computer Science. The kick-off of the seminar was yesterday and will take the entire semester with a final presentation at the end.

This time I offered topics coming from the European research project E2COMATION and the national research project CliCE-DiPP regarding energy and emission reduction, where we as Software AG are involved. The goal is to elaborate and find answers, especially to state-of-the-art questions, and what approaches and best practices could be assumed.

The goal of the E2COMATION project is the improvement of industrial energy efficiency at the European manufacturing level which requires the integration of energy data with advanced optimization techniques to guide a company’s decision-making. E2COMATION intends to address the optimization of energy usage, at multiple hierarchical layers of a manufacturing process as well as considering the whole life-cycle perspective across the value chain. CliCE-DiPP aims to develop a digital CO2 product pass based on the Asset Administration Shell (AAS), a standardized framework for the exchange and provision of information. It contains all relevant sustainability and energy data across companies over the entire life cycle of a product and allocates them accordingly.
