"The integration of e-mobility into the energy mix plays a crucial role in reducing CO₂ emissions, as transportation remains one of the largest contributors to global greenhouse gas output. By addressing urban mobility challenges and optimizing electric vehicle systems, this teaching concept links technical …

Emergency responders (ERs) work in dynamic, complex, and unpredictable environments. The integration of increasingly advanced sensor and artificial intelligence technology affects the work processes and decision-making of ERs and leads to new challenges regarding efficient and responsible human-AI cooperation. …

Complex eHealth interventions—featuring multiple components within dynamic systems—are used for healthcare improvement. Public–private partnerships (PPPs), combining resources, expertise, and technology, are crucial in this context. Yet, integrating these interventions into practice remains challenging. …

Social design is a growing practice field and expected to create impact on socio-technical systems and society at large. It positions designers to commit themselves to long-term visions and coordinate social change accordingly (Tromp & Vial, 2023). This requires designers to have a good understanding …

Many sub-Saharan countries currently lack reliable electricity infrastructure, particularly in rural areas. Solar mini-grids can help remedy this situation. However, they require effective storage solutions, for which green hydrogen (GH₂) offers a possibility. Establishing green hydrogen as a storage …

As the world transitions toward sustainable energy systems, the integration of digital technologies in energy infrastructure has introduced new cybersecurity challenges. Smart grids, renewable energy networks, and data-driven management systems depend on secure digital communication to ensure stability …

The global incidence of chronic diseases is rising, posing substantial social and economic challenges. These conditions necessitate effective long-term self-care, which can be supported by digital interventions using remote measurement technologies, like smartphones and wearables. This systematic review …

Innovating physical products can be seen as systems engineering at a higher abstraction level. It spans multiple domains and focuses not on developing the product, but realising the complete innovation. In our new approach, we focus on the four most important domains of physical product innovation: market, …

A modified genetic algorithm (MGA) optimization procedure, alongside time series machine learning (ML) classifiers, is proposed to minimize handovers in a digital twin-based visible light communication (VLC) system. Frequent handovers have a direct impact on the overall performance of the VLC system …

Emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and augmented/virtual reality come with many ethical and societal questions. In order to develop applications based on these technologies responsibly, businesses, governments and knowledge institutions are increasingly working together, and sometimes …
