OCTIKT – An Organic Computing-based method for the safeguarding and improvement of resilience in technical and ICT systems

In the project OCTIKT, a generic framework and process model is developed to gather, improve and safeguard the resilience in dynamic, decentralised systems. The developments are exemplarily implemented and evaluated in a concrete application scenario, i.e. in a power distribution grid.

The IES lab is primarily involved in the development of OC-based technologies for the implementation of resilience. This includes fundamental research in the fields of novelty and anomaly detection in data streams. These techniques are the foundation to implement self-awareness capabilities in industrial (cyber-physical) systems and can be used to provide concrete implementation, e.g., for digital twins.

The project is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) in the framework of the funding programme "IKT 2020 — Forschung für Innovationen" (ICT 2020 — Research for Innovation). The project is executed by the following partners:

  • Fachgebiet IES, Universität Kassel

  • FZI Forschungszentrum Informatik

  • Fraunhofer-Institut für Kurzzeitdynamik, Ernst-Mach-Institut, EMI

  • evohaus IRQ GmbH

  • Netze BW GmbH

  • Seven2one Informationssysteme GmbH
