A Look at Service Meshes
(2021)
Service meshes can be seen as an infrastructure layer for microservice-based applications that are specifically suited for distributed application architectures. It is the goal to introduce the concept of service meshes and its use for microservices with the example of an open source service mesh called Istio. This paper gives an introduction into the service mesh concept and its relation to microservices. It also gives an overview of selected features provided by Istio as relevant to the above concept and provides a small sample setup that demonstrates the core features.
A new type of rotary compressor, called “rotary-chamber compressor”, consists of two interlocking rotors with 4 wings each, that perform non-uniform rotary movements. Both rotors have the same direction of rotation, while one rotor is accelerating, the other rotor is retarding. After surpassing a specific mark, the sequence changes and the leading rotor begins to retard and vice versa. Due to the resulting relative phase difference, the volume between the two wings is changing periodically, which allows pulsating working chambers. The technology was first introduced by its founder Jürgen Schukey in 1987. Since then, no further development on this machine is known to us except our own. In this contribution, a study on the kinematics of the rotary-chamber-compressor is presented. Initial studies have shown that changes in the kinematics of the rotors will have a direct influence on the thermodynamical variables, which, if optimized, can lead to an increased performance of the machine. Therefore, a mathematical model has been developed to obtain the performance parameters from different kinematic concepts by using numerical CFD analysis. Furthermore, additional optimization possibilities will be listed and discussed.
This Innovative Practice Full Paper presents our learnings of the process to perform a Master of Science class with eduScrum integrating real world problems as projects. We prepared, performed, and evaluated an agile educational concept for the new Master of Science program Digital Transformation organized and provided by the department of business computing at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts - Hochschule Hannover in Germany. The course deals with innovative methodologies of agile project management and is attended by 25 students. We performed the class due the summer term in 2019 and 2020 as a teaching pair. The eduScrum method has been used in different educational contexts, including higher education. During the approach preparation, we decided to use challenges, problems, or questions from the industry. Thus, we acquired four companies and prepared in coordination with them dedicated project descriptions. Each project description was refined in the form of a backlog (list of requirements). We divided the class into four eduScrum teams, one team for each project. The subdivision of the class was done randomly.
Since we wanted to integrate realistic projects into industry partners’ implementation, we decided to adapt the eduScrum approach. The eduScrum teams were challenged with different projects, e.g., analyzing a dedicated phenomenon in a real project or creating a theoretical model for a company’s new project management approach. We present our experiences of the whole process to prepare, perform and evaluate an agile educational approach combined with projects from practice. We found, that the students value the agile method using real world problems. However, the results are mainly based on the summer term 2019, this paper also includes our learnings from virtual distance teaching during the Covid 19 pandemic in summer term 2020. The paper contributes to the distribution of methods for higher education teaching in the classroom and distance learning.
We present a feedback-corrected optimal scheduling approach to reduce the demand of electrical energy of batch processes, exemplified at the sand preparation in foundry. The main energy driver in the exemplary foundry is the idle time of the batch-wise working sand mixers. In this novel approach, we use linear integer programming to minimize the demand of energy of the sand mixers by scheduling the batches in real-time. For the optimization we use a physical model of the sand preparation, which takes dwell-times of the processes as dead-time systems into account. In this paper, we present the steps to make the optimal scheduling approach applicable for the production process. The application at the real production plant proves the performance of the suggested approach. Compared to the conventional control, the feedback-corrected optimal scheduling approach leads to an reduction in energy consumption of approximately 6.5 % without modifying the process or the aggregates.
Cloud Computing: Serverless
(2021)
A serverless architecture is a new approach to offering services over the Internet. It combines BaaS (Backend-as-a-service) and FaaS (Function-as-a-service). With the serverless architecture no own or rented infrastructures are needed anymore. In addition, the company does not have to worry about scaling any longer, as this happens automatically and immediately. Furthermore, there is no need any longer for maintenance work on the servers, as this is completely taken over by the provider. Administrators are also no longer needed for the same reason. Finally, many ready-made functions are offered, with which the development effort can be reduced. As a result, the serverless architecture is very well suited to many application scenarios, and it can save considerable costs (server costs, maintenance costs, personnel costs, electricity costs, etc.). The company only must subdivide the source code of the application and upload it to the provider’s server. The rest is done by the provider.
With regard to climate change, increasing energy efficiency is still a significant issue in the industry. In order to acquire energy data at the field level, so-called energy profiles can be used. They are advantageous as they are integrated into existing industrial ethernet standards (e.g. PROFINET). Commonly used energy profiles such as PROFIenergy and sercos Energy have been established in industrial use. However, as the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) continues to develop, the question arises whether the established energy profiles are sufficient to fullfil the requirements of the upcoming IIoT communication technologies. To answer this question the paper compares and discusses the common energy profiles with the current and future challenges of energy data communication. Furthermore, this analysis examines the need for further research in this field.
Building a well-founded understanding of the concepts, tasks and limitations of IT in all areas of society is an essential prerequisite for future developments in business and research. This applies in particular to the healthcare sector and medical research, which are affected by the noticeable advances in digitization. In the transfer project “Zukunftslabor Gesundheit” (ZLG), a teaching framework was developed to support the development of further education online courses in order to teach heterogeneous groups of learners independent of location and prior knowledge. The study at hand describes the development and components of the framework.
Der Bachelor-Studiengang Mediendesigninformatik der Hochschule Hannover ist ein Informatikstudiengang mit dem speziellen Anwendungsgebiet Mediendesign. In Abgrenzung von Studiengängen der Medieninformatik liegt der Anwendungsfokus auf der kreativen Gestaltung etwa von 3D-Modellierungen, Animationen und Computerspielen. Absolvent*innen des Studiengangs sollen an der Schnittstelle zwischen Informatik und Mediendesign agieren können, zum Beispiel bei der Erstellung von Benutzungsschnittstellen und VR/AR-Anwendungen. Der Artikel stellt das Curriculum des interdisziplinären Studiengangs vor und reflektiert nach dem Abschluss der ersten beiden Studierendenkohorten die Erfahrungen, indem die ursprünglichen Ziele den Zahlen der Hochschulstatistik und den Ergebnissen zweier Studierendenbefragungen gegenübergestellt werden.
This paper presents a novel approach for modelling the energy consumption of the coupled parallel moulding sand mixers of a foundry as an optimal control problem. The minimization of energy consumption is optimized by scheduling the mixing processes in a linear integer programming scheme. The sand flow through the foundry’s sand preparation is characterized by a physical model. This model considers the sand demand of the moulding machine as disturbance, the stored sand masses in the mixer hoppers and machine hoppers, respectively. The novel approach of handling dwell-times for dosing, mixing and transport processes using dead-time systems and constraint pushing allows the application of a linear model. The formulation of the optimal control problem aims at real-time application as model predictive control at the production plant. Initial application results indicate an improvement in energy consumption of approximately 8%.
The increasing variety of combinations of different building technology components offers a high potential for energy and cost savings in today's buildings. However, in most cases, this potential is not yet fully exploited due to the lack of intelligent supervisory control systems that are required to manage the complexity of the resulting overall systems. In this article, we present the implementation of a mixed-integer nonlinear model predictive control approach as a smart realtime building energy management system. The presented methodology is based on a forward-looking optimization of the overall energy costs. It takes into account energy demand forecasts and varying electricity market prices. We achieve real-time capability of the controller by applying a decomposition approach, which approximates the optimal solution of the underlying mixed-integer optimal control problem by convexification and rounding of the relaxed solution. The quality of the suboptimal solution is evaluated by comparison with the globally optimal solution obtained by the dynamic programming method. Based on a real-world scenario, we demonstrate that utilization of the real-time capable mixedinteger nonlinear model predictive control approach in a building control system leads to savings of 16% in the total operating costs and 13% in primary energy compared to the state-of-the-art control strategy without any loss of comfort for the residents.
