Bauhaus Luftfahrt e.V.
Bauhaus Luftfahrt was created in November 2005 by the three aerospace companies EADS, Liebherr-Aerospace and MTU Aero Engines as well as the Bavarian Ministry for Economic Affairs. The non-profit association is an internationally-oriented think tank. The team of around 35 scientists deals with the future of mobility in general and with the future of air travel in particular. The goal of the research work is to consider the complex system of aviation from different points of view. In every project, the technical, economic, social and ecological aspects are considered holistically. More information on Bauhaus Luftfahrt can be found at: http://www.bauhaus-luftfahrt.net.
Main role in the project
Bauhaus Luftfahrt is WP4 leader. Bauhaus is involved in various tasks related to tools and methods for easy editing, comprehension and maintainability of complex embedded systems and decision support. We will focus on
efficient model editing,
understandable system simulation, and
meaningful representation of analysis results.

Dr. Steffen Prochnow received a Diploma degree in computer science from the Technische Universität of Braunschweig/Germany in 2003 and a doctorate in software engineering from the University of Kiel/Germany in 2007. His research in Kiel focused on the human-centric Statechart modeling process. He has worked as a research engineer in the field of component-based system modeling and system analysis at the VERIMAG research Labs in Grenoble/France. During the time at VERIMAG he contributed to the EU SPEEDS project with an analysis of hierarchical system components. He joined the computer science group at Bauhaus Luftfahrt in October 2010.
Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel
The RTSYS group at CAU (http://www.informatik.uni-kiel.de/rtsys) has explored pragmatics-aware modelling with various facets, including novel visualisation, version-management, editing and browsing paradigms. These efforts have been evaluated and validated with experimental design environments and cognitive studies. To that end, KIEL (Kiel Integrated Environment for Layout) and its successor, KIELER (KIEL Eclipse Rich Client), have been used extensively as experimental platforms for numerous projects, including about 25 publications and 40 theses.
Main role in project
CAU will mainly be involved in developing pragmatics-aware modelling that aims to increase designer productivity when designing complex systems. This includes novel view-management methods (Task 4.2), support for efficient editing (Task 4.3), and support for model simulation (Task 4.4).

Reinhard von Hanxleden (rvh@informatik.uni-kiel.de) is full professor at CAU since 2001. He conducted his studies of Computer Science and Physics at CAU and the Pennsylvania State University (M.Sc., 1989), followed by dissertation work at Rice University (Ph.D., conferred 1995). He then joined DaimlerChrysler R&D, until 2000 in Berlin, then – with the Airbus A380 development – in Toulouse and Hamburg. At DaimlerChrysler (now Daimler), his research focus was model-based design of safety-critical systems. This – for realistic, complex systems rather frustrating – industrial experience with modelling tools motivates his continued interest in pragmatics-aware model-based design. Prof. von Hanxleden has been a research visitor to UC Berkeley (2007), is affiliated to the EU Artist2 Network of Excellence, and chairs the steering committee for the WCET Tool Challenge 2011 (WCC'11).
Miro Spönemann (msp@informatik.uni-kiel.de), member of the scientific staff of the RTSYS group, has studied Computer Science at CAU from 2003 until 2009 (diploma with distinction). His diploma thesis was on the automatic layout of data flow diagrams, which also has been covered in a publication at the International Symposium on Graph Drawing (GD) 2009.

Main role in the project
Definition of an integral automated verification test suite concept, that deals with both, simulation based and silicon based verification in a similar synergetic way. One key aspect is the capability to process large data sizes within reasonable processing time.
Definition of a laboratory test equipment for automated verification supporting the integral concept above
An automated data post-processing engine for large data sizes: assessment of different commercial solutions compared to in-house solutions
Modeling of the automated test benches for verification
Implementation of the automated verification test suite in the laboratory and the automated data post-processing engine for large data sizes
Implementation of a corresponding simulation based counterpart using compatible data formats
Select and run a test case on both test benches (simulation based / silicon based) / check correctness of generated data and performance of the test suites / adopt and fine-tune the test benches
Staff members profile
As part of the Identification Innovation Centre Georg Menges, Govt. Relation & Projects organizes and manages the participation of NXP Germany in nationally as well as internationally funded projects. For those projects he focuses on identification and advanced assembly and SIP technologies.
Georg Menges owns an engineering diploma in electronics (Dipl. Ing.). After a short intermezzo at PC Manufacturer Compaq this led him to Philips Semiconductors in Hamburg. Within nearly 25 years with Philips, today NXP Semiconductors, he was able to build up experience in such different areas as chip design, application, project management and product marketing. Before moving back to Hamburg he has been managing marketing groups acting in as different market segments as identification, displays, audio and MEMS technology. Those assignments also gave him the opportunity to work and live abroad in e.g. Taiwan, England and the Netherlands.
Markus Feuser, Director P&R Hamburg, is leading a physical design engineering group for secured Smartcard controller IC designs and owns a PhD. in engineering. He is 17 years with Philips, today NXP Semiconductors in Hamburg, engaged in Smartcard controller IC design, verification and validation from the beginning when Philips introduced the first Smartcard Controller product with 32Kbyte EEPROM. He had several roles during his career, all in Smartcard controller IC design: digital design engineer, IC architect, project manager, design manager.
