Virtual Environments in Experiments: A Prototype

How can virtual environments be used in cooperative experimental work that involves a physical test rig? In an Alex experimental setup, we have developed a prototypical solution that includes provisioning and managing virtual machines and containers tailored to specific project needs. The environments use Conda and Pip for software development and unit testing, ensuring flexibility and scalability and allowing for more efficient analysis and streamlined workflows.

OTGroundTruther

OTGroundTruther is a tool that can be used to carry out manual traffic counting at intersections based on video material. It is possible to capture traffic flows in detail and to distinguish between different road users. It enables the rapid counting of traffic flows if automated recording is not possible with sufficient certainty. In addition, this tool can be used to generate ground truth data for benchmarking the counting accuracy of automated systems.

Open Research Knowledge Graph (ORKG)

The Open Research Knowledge Graph (ORKG) helps researchers find, compare, and reuse scientific findings efficiently. User can organize research contributions semantically so that both humans and machines can easily understand and use them. With ORKG, you can explore knowledge across various disciplines, stay updated, and collaborate on new research. Additionally, ORKG enhances the visibility of research outputs, facilitating better discovery and innovation in the scientific community.

NFDI4Ing Jupyter Service

The NFDI4Ing Jupyter Service provides Jupyterlab servers to the NFDI4Ing community. Jupyter allows interactive programming via the browser in more than 40 programming languages. Via computational notebooks, the code can be enriched with text descriptions, images, videos and more (literate programming).

MetadataHub

The MetadataHub enables easy access to multiple repositories via a uniform interface. Metadata documents can be created, updated, read, deleted, listed and searched for. Currently AIMS, Coscine and MetaStore are supported via their REST interfaces. New repositories could be easily added by adding a specific mapping to the MetadataHub service.

Knowledge Base for replicable & reproducible software-based experiments

Are you an engineer in a project to (re-)program scientific code? Or are you a student in a likewise project? Or maybe you are a project/data manager looking for some inspiration and advice? Then this Knowledge Base might be just for you!

We cover multiple topics regarding the development of scientific software, e.g. Version Control and Continuous Integration.

MARGE – Multi-Access Research Gateway for HPC Experts

We cover multiple topics regarding the development of scientific software, e.g. Version Control and Continuous Integration.

Kadi4Mat as a Service

Kadi4Mat is a generic and open source virtual research environment, which can be hosted as a web-based service. The instances hosted at KIT can be leveraged to enhance (meta)data management and integration in the engineering community working in academia, research institutions, or industry.

Field Database Platform

The Field Database Platform (FDP) prioritizes the accessibility and reusability of data, allowing researchers to interact with field datasets more effectively. By providing tools for data exploration and previewing based on operational and environmental parameters, FDP ensures users are guided in finding relevant datasets, avoiding irrelevant or redundant information. This platform enhances data reusability and promotes FAIR principles, significantly improving the research experience compared to traditional data platforms.

GitLab

GitLab is an open-source-software to host and manage own Git-repositories. Besides the main task of the code-management other functions like a simple issue-tracking-system, a wiki and also an option to review codes are covered. With this GitLab supports the developer, who increase the quality of the developed program codes.
