Alexandra Mazak studied Data Engineering & Statistics, Business Engineering and Computer Science as well as Computer Management at the Vienna University of Technology. Her doctoral thesis, focusing on the research fields of Ontology Engineering and Ontology Alignment, was funded by the FFG program FEMtech based on her work in the projects FINCA (Female Intrapreneurship Career Academy) and FAMOS (Female Academy for Mentoring, Opportunities and Self-Development). Prior to her scientific career, she gained 16 years of experience as an entrepreneur in the field of IT development and database marketing. Before starting to work as a postdoctoral researcher at BIG, she headed the first Junior Studio CoE of the Research Studios Austria Forschungsgesellschaft mbH (RSA FG) concentrating on the interdisciplinary research area of Cognitive Engineering. At BIG, she has participated in several national and international research projects: REAlist (a multitenant ERP system in the cloud based on the core concepts of the REA Ontology), ARTIST (Advanced software-based seRvice provisioning and migraTIon of legacy SofTware), MetaMoV (Metainformation im modellbasierten Variantenmanagement). Currently, she is leading the exploratory project InteGra 4.0 focusing on a horizontal and vertical information integration based on industry standards in the context of Industry 4.0.

Mandantenfähiges ERP System in der Cloud: Ein modellgetriebener Ansatz auf Basis der Resource-Event-Agent Ontologie

by Dieter Mayrhofer, Bernhard Kratzwald, Bernhard Wally, Alexandra Mazak

Cloud Computing führte in den letzten fünf Jahren zu einem Paradigmenwechsel in der IT-Branche. Über die Cloud werden Rechenkapazität, Datenspeicher, Netzwerkkapazitäten oder auch fertige Software zur Verfügung gestellt. In diesem Projekt adressieren wir die letztere Variante von cloud-basierten Lösungen, welche auch als Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) bekannt ist.

Metainformation im modellbasierten Variantenmanagement

by Emanuel Mätzler, Alexandra Mazak, Christian Huemer

Das Forschungsvorhaben umfasst eine Konzeptentwicklung, sowie die Leistung von Vorabeiten für ein prototypisches Entwicklungsvorhaben, mit dem Ziel technologische und ökonomische Aspekte im modellbasierten Variantenmanagement aufzuzeigen. Dabei sollen neben dem modellbasierten Variantenmanagement auch die Validierung von Varianten und die Annotation von Metainformationen (Gewicht, Stromverbrauch, Kosten) in Modellvarianten untersucht, sowie erste Ideen für eine technologische Umsetzung des erkannten Potenzials skizziert werden.

InteGra 4.0 - Horizontal and Vertical Interface Integration 4.0

by Manuel Wimmer, Alexandra Mazak, Tanja Mayerhofer, Bernhard Wally, Christian Huemer, Gerti Kappel

InteGra 4.0 focuses on the horizontal integration throughout value chains as well as on the vertical integration of networked production systems as identified by the German working committee for Industrie 4.

Innovationslehrgang zur Gestaltung der Digitalen Transformation in der Produktentwicklung und Produktion (DigiTrans 4.0)

by Sabine Wolny, Polina Patsuk-Bösch, Clemens Proyer, Manuel Wimmer, Alexandra Mazak, Christian Huemer, Gerti Kappel

Qualifizierungsziel ist es, die Unternehmen in ihrer Gesamtheit in das Zeitalter von Industrie 4.0 zu führen. Dazu haben sich die Lehrenden fakultätsübergreifend vernetzt, um im Sinne einer Integration von Fachabteilung, Business-IT und Produktions-IT und zur Vernetzung sämtlicher Informationsströme entlang der Wertschöpfungskette unterrichten zu können.

Configuration and Operation data optimization using Data Analytics

by Manuel Wimmer, Alexandra Mazak, Gerti Kappel

Die industrienahe Dissertation CODA adressiert innovative, wichtige Forschungsfragen um aus den Laufzeitdaten (Betriebsdaten) und den Entwicklungszeitdaten (Konfigurationsdaten) einer Anlage Optimierungen für Betrieb und Systemkonfiguration abzuleiten. Die Resultate von CODA sind neue Methoden und Algorithmen vorwiegend aus dem Bereich Data Analytics, die anhand von realen Daten aus dem Anwendungsgebiet Bahnautomatisierung evaluiert werden.

Christian Doppler Laboratory for Model-Integrated Smart Production

by Serap Kadam, Ulrike Pastner, Radek Sindelar, Manuel Wimmer, Alexandra Mazak, Bernhard Wally

Production systems are becoming more and more software-intensive, thus turning into cyber-physical production systems (CPPS). This is also highlighted and reflected by Industrie 4.0, which is seen as the next industrial revolution.

Advanced software-based seRvice provisioning and migraTIon of legacy SofTware

by Javier Troya, Alexander Bergmayr, Philip Langer, Martin Fleck, Manuel Wimmer, Tanja Mayerhofer, Alexandra Mazak, Patrick Neubauer, David Madner, Gerti Kappel

Successful software has to evolve to keep it compatible and up to date. Up to 90% of software cost is spent on maintenance and of this 75% is spent on the development of new features for staying competitive.
