Telecooperation needs distributed and mobile computer architectures, that enable efficient transfer of information in a highly heterogenous environment. It also needs semantically enhanced knowledge-transfer, concurrent access to various applications and services as well as a safe and trustworthy "domain-surroundings"(?).

These various requirements necessitate an interdisciplinary view at the domain including impressions and information from a spectrum of fields like grid-, internet- and mobile computing, sensor - and wireless networks, mobile communication, mobile multimedia and agent-based computers.

The sustainment of a reliable, distributed, cooperative environment is essential to enable consistent, efficient access to multimedial information. The interaction between human user and machine is in focus at a physical as well as logical level.

Various aspects of human-media-interaction are an important topic of our scientists und developers at the Institute of Telecooperation: intelligent systems, customisability, personalisation, mobile informations management, cooperational and coordinational paradigms, non-standard human-machine-interaction and multimedia.

Data-driven analysis and modelling of movements in mobile systems, e.g. motorised road-traffic, mobile internet of things and mobile cyber-physical systems.

Experiment-driven characterisation and requirements-orientated establishing of wireless connections for locale communication, e.g. between drones, smartphones, in crisis-scenes and in hybrid infrastructure-/ad-hoc networks.

Optimising of datastreams in networks on different layers by anticipating and taking advantage of performance-criteria in networks.

Communication and coordination between human and machine.
