inIT was represented at the renowned IEEE conference WFCS 2025 in Rostock. Maxim Friesen, research assistant in Prof. Dr. Jürgen Jasperneite's computer networks working group, discussed current developments in the field of industrial communication systems and networked with international colleagues.
Exchange on the future of distributed communication systems
From 10 to 13 June 2025, the 21st IEEE International Conference on Factory Communication Systems (WFCS 2025) took place at the University of Rostock. The conference focused on current research approaches related to wireless communication technologies in industrial applications. Topics covered included time-sensitive networking (TSN), the use of artificial intelligence in industry, and communication architectures for networked production environments.
Maxim Friesen attended the conference on behalf of inIT. As part of the FlexLoc research project, he used the event to exchange ideas on intelligent systems and AI approaches in distributed industrial communication environments.
Participation in publication on 5G measurement technologies
inIT was also involved in a scientific publication: Together with Niels Fliedner, research assistant in Prof. Dr. Henning Trsek's ‘Interconnected Automation Systems’ working group, and other researchers, Maxim Friesen authored the paper ‘DeSiRe-NG: An Architecture for Autonomous and Assisted 5G Network Measurement and Emulation’. Simon Welzel from the Technical University of Ilmenau presented the publication at the conference.
The paper presents the final results of the DeSiRe-NG research project. An architecture for automated performance monitoring of 5G networks was developed, using a digital twin of the quality of service (QoS) on an automated guided vehicle (AGV).
Successful conference with strong networking character
As well as providing an opportunity for technical exchange, the conference offered a variety of networking opportunities with researchers from all over the world. Maxim Friesen emphasises, 'It was great to meet new and familiar colleagues. A big thank you to the University of Rostock for the smooth organisation. The conference provided an excellent setting for exchanging ideas about the future of wireless communication.”
