The Fall 2024 General Assembly for the Transregional Collaborative Research Centre 248 “Foundations of Perspicuous Software Systems”, otherwise known as CPEC (Centre for Perspicuous Computing), took place at our Faculty of Computer Science from Sept. 23rd to 25th.
This time, the assembly gathered around 70 participants from TU Dresden and Universität des Saarlandes. CPEC General Assemblies occur twice per year and allow us to coordinate research efforts, report on the progress of the collaborations, present and discuss on-going and published works, and engage in team-building activities and workshops.
Led by the coordination efforts of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Holger Hermanns and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Raimund Dachselt, the CPEC project tackles a major challenge of modern cyber-physical systems, by developing methods to explicate model behaviours with a human-centric focus.
Researchers from our Interactive Media Lab participate in three CPEC sub-projects: E1, E3, and E4.
E1: “Interactive Exploration of Visual Models” is a collaboration with the research groups of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Franz Baader and Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Christel Baier, concerning the design and development of explanations powered by interactive Visualization, in particular for Description Logics and Probabilistic Model Checking. E3: “Knowledge-Driven Inspection” is a collaboration with the research groups of Prof. Dr. Markus Krötzsch and Prof. Dr. Sven Apel, related to the construction of interactive analysis and visualisation tools for rule-based reasoning, variability-aware software development, and structured software merging. E4: “Immersive Analysis of Cyber-Physical Systems” is a collaboration with the research groups of Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Stefan Gumhold and Prof. Dr. Jörg Hoffmann, related to the visual analysis of action policies, real-time visual control, collaborative immersive inspection and control centre design.
