With the Vienna Informatics Living Lab, the Faculty of Informatics at TU Wien establishes an interface to schools and builds a systematic offer from autumn 2018 onwards: School classes and teachers may take part in free, didactically coordinated workshops on current and diverse IT topics. As the first stage of expansion, the permanent exhibition "Abenteuer Informatik" is installed on Campus Favoritenstraße. 40 exhibition panels with 20 experimental stations make exciting topics such as binary representation, efficient algorithms and limits of computability an interactive and hands-on experience. In the current project, target-group-oriented workshops are developed, supporting educational material is prepared, and a stakeholder network is established. The lab provides important technical impulses for the youth, allows low-threshold access to TU Wien, and conveys informatics as forward-looking, exciting and diverse. It arouses enthusiasm, curiosity and interest - in girls and boys alike.

In 2015, „Industrie 4.0“ is still just a buzzword for most companies in Austria. However, they understand the increasing importance of the topic. Currently, Austrian companies have a lack of detailed knowledge towards their transformation to Industrie 4.0. Highly qualified employees are a prerequisite for staying competitive in tomorrow’s production industry. Thus, the curriculum of DigiTrans 4.0 – which was collaboratively designed by TU Wien and the industry partners – considers both the core competencies of the participating companies and the recommendations for implementing the strategic initiative Industrie 4.0 [KWH13] by the German Industrie 4.0 Working Group.

DigiTrans 4.0 aims at progressively introducing the participants to the vision of Industrie 4.0. For this purpose the Faculty of Informatics and the Faculty of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering of TU Wien join forces to educate the companies on topics that focus on the integration of Business IT and Production IT as well as on the integration of all information flows in a value network. Accordingly, the DigiTrans 4.0 curriculum is characterized by an inter-disciplinary and modular structure following the motto “cross-over lectures for cross-innovation”. The modules of DigiTrans 4.0 are the following: (1) Product Lifecycle Management, (2) Models and Methods for the Digital Transformation, (3) Industrial Communication and Automated Manufacturing Systems, (4) Value Networks, (5) Integration Engineering and (6) Gender und Workplace 4.0. All these modules are taught in theory and practice and are supported by the Pilot Plant of TU Wien. The participant of DigiTrans 4.0 will get to know a framework and a method set for the digital transformation to be used on their way from the classical automation pyramid to a value network spanning over things, services, and humans.

Given the large size of the consortia, we are able to include companies with a lot of different characteristics. This should foster the multi-disciplinary exchange of ideas and we expect to gain knowledge in the following areas: (i) joint development of new fields of applications in Industrie 4.0, (ii) expansion of TU Wien’s skill set by industry-related topics and (iii) strengthening of the technological development skills and innovation skills in forward-looking areas of technology, such as cyber-physical production systems (CPPS) and Internet of Things (IoT). Last but not least, we aim at fostering sustainable co-operations not only between academia and companies, but also among the participating companies.

The goal of the project COSIMO is to build up a portfolio configurator platform for leveraging tool integration for railway automation systems and, in general, for production systems at Siemens. The core of this framework comprehensively bases on model-driven concepts and semantic system's techniques.

COSIMO stretches over three unique but highly interwoven research goals:

- First, support roundtripable and reusable model exchange among heterogeneous engineering for using tool metamodels and tool adapters with model transformations.

- Second, facilitate consistent collaborative modeling between teams in a non-intrusive way, by model virtualization mechanisms together with redundancy and detection mechanisms that are based on specialized model management operators.

 - Third, enable guided reconfiguration of evolving component versions across tool boundaries to ensure compatibility of component versions and validity of configurations, by explicitly representing component versions and providing proper reasoning mechanisms and reconfiguration languages.
