PREFACE
No one disputes the benefits of information and communica-
tion technologies for the economy and society. But many com-
puter users still have their doubts: they fear being unable to
cope with the flood of data thrust their way or – even worse –
falling through a hole in the security net. Thank goodness there
are experts working on solutions to precisely these problems.
Fraunhofer researchers are born to tackle tricky tasks, and are
now forging key technologies to fit the right locks – even
digital ones. Under the title of “Urban living”, 14 Fraunhofer
Institutions are showing how sensor networks and semantic
searches can help to make city life easier. Even when it comes
to the crunch and a storm or other disaster threatens, science
coupled with economic might can come up with products to
avert minor and major catastrophes alike. In addition, cloud
technologies, the new ID card, the world of 3-D imaging and
other leading trends in Fraunhofer research await you in Hall 9.
We look forward to seeing you in the CeBIT lab in Hall 9!
Sincerely,

“URBAN LIVING” – RESEARCH FORLIFE IN THE CITY

tant AAL (Ambient Assisted Living)
product innovations.
The “Life in danger” zone forms the
heart of Fraunhofer’s booth at CeBIT.
It simulates a complete crisis situation
center, where information is gathered
and evaluated during disasters with the
aid of ICT. If – as in the case of an earth-
quake – the situation is a complex and
confusing one, then sensors, miniature
aircraft and mobile ground robots can be
deployed to provide the rescue command
center with decisive information.
The accident scene can be surveyed from
the air with an unmanned mini-helicopter
known as “Quadrocopter” and measuring
about one meter in diameter. Owing to its
compact dimensions, this aircraft is ex-
tremely maneuverable, able to fly be-
tween skyscrapers and even inside partially
collapsed buildings. It is equipped with
At CeBIT 2010 there was a Fraunhofer
House; now, in 2011, there will be an
entire city. “Urban living” is the slogan of
Fraunhofer’s appearance at this year’s
CeBIT, which is designed to provide
visitors with insights into four different
worlds. The “Public life” zone mainly
comprises services for the public arena,
for instance in municipal offices and
libraries. Cloud Computing, 3-D visuali-
zations and biometric applications are
the focus of “Business life”. Audio and
video technologies show just how high
the quality of sound reproduction can be
in your own home, and how the mem-
bers of today’s mobile society can actively
shape their “Private life” – from video-
enabled games evenings with friends
through to new approaches to learning.
Helping the disabled to live in the free-
dom of their own homes is a challenge
for which Fraunhofer offers a range of
solutions, such as its increasingly impor-
�� 9
gas mains, hydrants, etc. Another sec-
tion of the Fraunhofer booth showcases
a system for managing traffic flows in
emergency situations. It generates an
intelligent, event-based deployment plan
for road traffic, public transportation,
and rescue vehicles. Ad-hoc sensors
enable those involved to network se-
curely even in emergency situations.
But it doesn’t need to be a catastrophe –
a sudden downpour and a flooded cellar
are often all it takes to threaten a person’s
very existence. This is why multi-channel
and multi-hazard technologies are being
utilized in early-warning systems. Data
from a plethora of sources is used to
generate targeted warnings for a whole
range of hazardous situations such as
blizzards, hurricanes, etc. The next,
closely integrated, step is to disseminate
the warnings in a personalized and timely
manner via media such as cell phones.
normal and infrared cameras, laser mea-
suring devices and artificial sniffer devices
for detecting hazardous substances.
However, if the disaster area is very large,
a single aircraft will not be enough.
Ground control stations are then needed
to collate and reconcile the data gath-
ered by several remote-controlled
vehicles as quickly as possible, passing
it on to the crisis situation center. This
command center is supported by the
“digital situation table with fovea tab-
lets”, composed of a large-format, hori-
zontal display showing a map of the en-
tire disaster area with PC tablets (screens
the size of an exercise book) that can
be moved freely over the display. These
mobile fovea tablets act like a magnify-
ing glass, showing the respective sec-
tions beneath them in high resolution.
Additional functions enable them also
to indicate the location of water and

The new ID card in credit card format has
finally arrived. This smart card is not only
more compact, but also boasts a range
of new functions. It can be used, for
example, to authenticate your identity on
the Internet, which opens up whole new
possibilities for citizens, the business
world and public authorities alike.
The personal data printed on the card
are stored in the integrated chip. All the
identity data are cryptographically pro-
tected so as to prevent their being read
out unnoticed. In order to release their
personal data, the ID owners first need
to actively enter their PIN. What is more,
people using their ID cards online now
have the option of checking who the
recipient of their data really is.
Whether in e-business or e-government
environments, a fast and reliable identity
check is extremely important both for the
PUBLIC LIFE – SECURE INNOVATIONS
Internet and internal processes. The
German government expects the new
ID card to set “new standards in identity
management”, making for greater
security and enhanced data protection.
On behalf of the German Federal Minis-
try of the Interior, various Fraunhofer
Institutes provided support during the
roll-out of the new ID card. Now, these
same institutes are not only helping
companies to deploy and administer the
new ID card in a secure manner, but,
together with partners, are also develop-
ing new applications for the Internet and
the everyday analog world.

Cloud Computing is one of the key trends
at this year’s CeBIT. It allows dynamic
tailoring of computing capacity and soft-
ware to the business process in question,
and makes both available on demand via
a network. Data is thus exchanged bet-
ween computer centers all over the world
in fractions of a second.
The service is billed on the basis of the
computing power required, making it
more economical than conventional IT
infrastructures. BITKOM, the German
Association for IT, Telecommunications
and New Media, expects revenues from
cloud services to rise from 1.1 billion euros
in 2010 to 8.8 billion euros by 2015.
A big challenge facing this new technol-
ogy is to make sure that data are ade-
quately protected and that clients are not
tied to any one cloud provider. According
to a report on Cloud Computing pub-
BUSINESS LIFE – COMPUTING IN THE CLOUDS
lished by management consultancy PwC
in late October 2010, 96 percent of Cloud
Computing providers see security as the
decisive factor in customer satisfaction.
But only 30 percent of the providers
surveyed store their data exclusively in
Germany, which could present a security
risk.
Critics of Cloud Computing worry about
another point. They fear that providers
like Google, who dominate their markets,
will be put in a position to control the
processed data. Nevertheless, the cost
savings offered by Cloud Computing look
set to make it unstoppable. But to get
anywhere near the security standards
offered by closed corporate networks,
the services on offer will need to be
optimized, and tailored solutions devel-
oped for individual applications – a task
that Fraunhofer is already focusing its
efforts on.

The feeling of simply being at home is
something the denizens of today’s
mobile world crave, but find hard to
attain. Family members living far apart
want to be able to let each other know
what has been happening in their lives –
especially when they have few opportu-
nities to meet in person. The solution lies
in leading-edge videoconferencing
systems which can produce astonishingly
realistic sound and images. German
schoolchildren on an exchange program
in New York, for instance, won’t feel
quite so homesick if their parents can be
beamed into the guest family’s living
room once a week. Or you can invite the
grandparents – who could be a continent
away – to join you for a virtual breakfast.
Innovative audio and video technologies
combined with ultra-flat loudspeakers
will enable new communication experi-
ences of this kind over the Internet –
with high-quality sound and images that
can be savored without having to turn
your living room into an IT lab. “Together
Anywhere, Together Anytime” is an EU
project that forms part of the scenario on
show at CeBIT.
Another way the quality of the mobile
society is being enhanced is through
Ambient Assisted Living (AAL). AAL
products can be an invaluable aid to
senior citizens in their daily lives. The
services provided are varied and can be
flexibly tailored to particular needs, be it
to improve the mobility and fitness of
active senior citizens, or to enable people
requiring intensive long-term care to
remain in their own homes for as long as
possible.
Typical AAL products include devices for
switching off kitchen stoves automati-
cally, context-dependent control units for
lighting and heating as well as protec-
tion systems against burglars. Ideally,
the systems can be taught to adapt
automatically and evaluate the data they
receive from sensors. And, if someone
is in danger or unable to cope with a
situation at home, these systems can
independently propose solutions or
notify an emergency hotline.

The collapse of the municipal archive
building in Cologne and the flooding of
the Elbe river in Dresden were two recent
disasters in Germany that heightened
public awareness of the need to prevent
hazardous situations in urban environ-
ments. What would happen, for in-
stance, if panic were to break out at a
packed football stadium and up to
50,000 fans tried to escape the venue all
at once? This is where intelligent ICT
systems come into their own. In the
REPKA evacuation project, people flows
are captured through a combination of
satellite navigation (GPS), localization in
wireless networks (GSM fingerprinting)
and WLAN localization. The combination
of different technologies prevents errors
in a single technology from paralyzing
the whole system.
Localization technology can create order
and safety in other contexts as well.
LIFE IN DANGER – CAPTURING DATATO CONTROL CRISIS SITUATIONS
Fraunhofer has developed awiloc®
technology, an autonomous positioning
system for use in urban environments.
Cutting-edge early-warning systems such
as Pronto!, for example, can be used to
regulate traffic, public transportation and
rescue vehicles on an event basis. WIND,
another Fraunhofer technology, makes
it possible to issue timely catastrophe
warnings that reach people no matter
where they happen to be. Fraunhofer’s
series of safety systems demonstrates the
latest trends in gathering information on
the current status of a crisis, evaluating
it and distributing it to the crisis situation
centers involved. Data is captured locally
by mobile sensor carriers such as the
aerial “quadrocopter”, unmanned
underwater vehicles and mobile ground
robots, and transmitted in real time. In
emergency situations these new systems
help to save valuable minutes – minutes
that can potentially save lives.

AUDIO GUIDE TOUR – A VOYAGE OF DISCOVERY
Embark on a voyage of discovery through the joint Fraunhofer booth “Urban living”
with our informative audio recordings.
On a tour lasting 20 minutes we will present 14 exhibits, grouped around four
different themes. In the “Public life” section you can find out all about Germany’s
new ID card. The “Business life” section features Cloud Computing, a technology
that is set to shape our future. The future has already begun in the “Private life”
section. Learning to play a musical instrument in a trice, having friends who are
miles away at your living room table for a games evening, or living to a ripe old
age and remaining independent in your own home – Fraunhofer solutions make
it all possible. The tour ends in the “Life in danger” section. Here, we have con-
structed several crisis scenarios to illustrate how people can receive fast, targeted
and effective support in emergency situations. Alternatively, you can build your
own tour. The Fraunhofer solutions described by the audio guides are marked with
a loudspeaker symbol and a number to help you select the right recording.
