Meet the Swarmchestrate partners: TU Berlin

Technische Universität Berlin is a university of excellence and one of the most renowned universities in Germany. The university alumni and staff include ten Nobel Prize laureates, several US National Academies members, two National Medal of Science laureates and the creator of the first fully functional programmable (electromechanical) computer, Konrad Zuse. TU Berlin is a member of TU9, an incorporated society of the largest and most notable German institutes of technology and of the Top International Managers in Engineering network, which allows for student exchanges between leading engineering schools. It belongs to the Conference of European Schools for Advanced Engineering Education and Research.

Within Swarmchestrate project, TU Berlin is represented by the Distributed and Operating Systems (DOS) department, founded in 2006 by Prof. Dr. Odej Kao. The department conducts research in the development and development of AI-based methods for the secure, efficient and fault-tolerant operation of complex IT infrastructures with quality of service guarantees. The research projects in the DOS department combine the highest level of scientific work with industry-oriented requirements for deployment and production. Numerous collaborations with national and international parties serve as proof of the quality for the delivered results. The department is also connected to other academic institutions through a variety of research projects.

What is TU Berlin role in the project?

With its expertise in distributed intelligence, computer networks, and artificial intelligence, TU Berlin expands the set of skills within the Swarmchestrate project team. The prior experience of DOS Lab paves the way for enabling application swarms to be formed and make intelligent decisions. The team expects to bring new notions into the field to rethink notions such as logical proximity from the perspective of application swarms.

Who are the key people involved?

TU Berlin team is led by Hacı İsmail Aslan, a doctoral student at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, TU Berlin. The group is supervised by Prof. Odej Kao.
