That juridical blockchain recorder has been realized as distributed ledger on board the advanced TrainLab (ICE-TD 605 017) of Deutsche Bahn. For the project, a consortium consisting of DB Systel, Siemens, Siemens Mobility, the Hasso Plattner Institute for Digital Engineering, Technische Universität Braunschweig, TÜV Rheinland InterTraffic, and Spherity has been formed. These partners not only concentrated competencies in railway operation, computer science, regulation, and approval, but also combined experiences from industry, research from academia, and enthusiasm from startups. Distributed ledger technologies (DLTs) define distributed databases and express a digital protocol for transactions between business partners without the need for a trusted intermediary. The implementation of a blockchain with real-time requirements for the local network of a railway system (e.g., interlocking or train) allows to log data in the distributed system verifiably in real-time. For this, railway-specific assumptions can be leveraged to make modifications to standard blockchains protocols. EULYNX and OCORA (Open CCS On-board Reference Architecture) are parts of a future European reference architecture for control command and signalling (CCS, Reference CCS Architecture – RCA). Both architectural concepts outline heterogeneous IT systems with components from multiple manufacturers. Such systems introduce novel challenges for the approved and safety-relevant CCS of railways which were considered neither for road-side nor for on-board systems so far. Logging implementations, such as the common juridical recorder on vehicles, can no longer be realized as a central component of a single manufacturer. All centralized approaches are in question. The research project RailChain is funded by the mFUND program and gives practical evidence that distributed consensus protocols are a proper means to immutably (for legal purposes) store state information of many system components from multiple manufacturers. The results of RailChain have been published, prototypically implemented, and experimentally evaluated in large-scale field tests on the advanced TrainLab. At the same time, the project showed how RailChain can be integrated into the road-side and on-board architecture given by OCORA and EULYNX. Logged data can now be analysed sooner and also their trustworthiness is being increased. This enables, e.g., auditable predictive maintenance, because it is ensured that data is authentic and unmodified at any point in time. N2 - Das Projekt RailChain hat einen verteilten Juridical Recorder entworfen, implementiert und experimentell evaluiert, der auf einem echtzeitfähigen verteilten Konsensprotokoll basiert. Dieser Juridical Blockchain Recorder wurde als distributed ledger an Bord des advanced TrainLabs der Deutschen Bahn (ICE-TD 605 017) umgesetzt. Für das Projekt hat sich ein Konsortium aus DB Systel, Siemens, Siemens Mobility, dem Hasso-Plattner-Institut für Digital Engineering, der Technischen Universität Braunschweig, sowie TÜV Rheinland InterTraffic und Spherity formiert und dabei Kompetenzen aus den Bereichen Bahnbetrieb, Informatik und Zulassungswesen gebündelt. Die Partner kombinieren Erfahrungen aus der Industrie und die akademische Forschung mit der Aufbruchstimmung aus dem Start-Up-Umfeld. Distributed-Ledger-Technologien (DLTs) definieren verteilte Datenbanken und stellen ein digitales Protokoll für Transaktionen zwischen Geschäftspartnern dar, ohne dass ein Mittelsmann beteiligt sein müsste. Die Implementierung einer Blockchain mit Echtzeitanforderungen für das lokale Netzwerk einer Eisenbahnanlage (z. B. Stellwerk oder Zug) erlaubt es, die im verteilten System entstehenden Daten nachweislich in Echtzeit zu protokollieren. Dabei können eisenbahnspezifische Randbedingungen ausgenutzt werden, um Standard-Blockchain-Protokolle anzupassen. EULYNX und OCORA (Open CCS On-board Reference Architecture) sind Bestandteile einer zukünftigen europäischen Referenzarchitektur für das Leit- und Sicherungssystem (Reference CCS Architecture – RCA, Control Command and Signalling – CCS). Beide Architekturkonzepte skizzieren herstellerübergreifende, komponentenbasierende heterogene IT-Systeme. Solche Systeme bergen neue Herausforderungen, die bislang im Kontext der zugelassenen, sicherheitsrelevanten Leit- und Sicherungstechnik der Bahn weder strecken- noch fahrzeugseitig adressiert werden mussten. Logbuch-Implementierungen, wie der gängige Juridical Recorder auf Fahrzeugen, können nun nicht mehr als zentrale Systemkomponente eines einzelnen Herstellers umgesetzt werden. Alle zentralisierten Lösungsansätze sind in Frage gestellt. Das mFUND-geförderte Forschungsprojekt erbringt den praktischen Nachweis, dass Zustandsinformationen über eine Vielzahl von Systemkomponenten herstellerübergreifend und gerichtsfest mittels verteilten Konsensprotokollen gespeichert werden können. Ergebnisse von RailChain wurden publiziert, prototypisch implementiert und in großen Feldtests auf dem advanced TrainLab experimentell evaluiert. Gleichzeitig wurde aufgezeigt, wie sich RailChain in den mit OCORA und EULYNX vorgegebenen fahrzeug- und streckenseitigen Architekturentwurf integrieren lässt. Daten können dadurch zeitnaher ausgewertet werden und gleichzeitig wird ihre Vertrauenswürdigkeit erhöht. Dies ermöglicht u. a. nachvollziehbare zustandsorientierte Wartung, denn es kann jederzeit sichergestellt werden, dass die Daten authentisch sind und auch nicht verändert wurden.

T1 - Telemedical Interventional Management in Heart Failure II (TIM-HF2), a randomised, controlled trial investigating the impact of telemedicine on unplanned cardiovascular hospitalisations and mortality in heart failure patients BT - study design and description of the intervention JF - European Journal of Heart Failure N2 - Background Heart failure (HF) is a complex, chronic condition that is associated with debilitating symptoms, all of which necessitate close follow-up by health care providers. Lack of disease monitoring may result in increased mortality and more frequent hospital readmissions for decompensated HF. Remote patient management (RPM) in this patient population may help to detect early signs and symptoms of cardiac decompensation, thus enabling a prompt initiation of the appropriate treatment and care before a manifestation of HF decompensation. Objective The objective of the present article is to describe the design of a new trial investigating the impact of RPM on unplanned cardiovascular hospitalisations and mortality in HF patients. Methods The TIM-HF2 trial is designed as a prospective, randomised, controlled, parallel group, open (with randomisation concealment), multicentre trial with pragmatic elements introduced for data collection. Eligible patients with HF are randomised (1:1) to either RPM + usual care or to usual care only and are followed for 12 months. The primary outcome is the percentage of days lost due to unplanned cardiovascular hospitalisations or all-cause death. The main secondary outcomes are all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Conclusion The TIM-HF2 trial will provide important prospective data on the potential beneficial effect of telemedical monitoring and RPM on unplanned cardiovascular hospitalisations and mortality in HF patients.

To operate reliable and efficient, computing systems must adhere not only to technical limits (i.e., thermal constraints) but they must also reduce operating costs, for example, by increasing their energy efficiency. Efforts to improve the energy efficiency, however, are often hampered by inflexible software components that hardly adapt to underlying hardware characteristics. In this paper, we propose an approach to bridge the gap between inflexible software and heterogeneous hardware architectures. Our proposal introduces adaptive software components that dynamically adapt to heterogeneous processing units (i.e., accelerators) during runtime to improve the energy efficiency of computing systems.

With the increasing availability of hardware-based compression facilities in modern computer architectures, this paper investigates the potential of hardware-accelerated I/O Link Compression as a promising approach to reduce data volumes and transfer time, thus improving the overall efficiency of accelerators in heterogeneous systems. Our considerations are focused on On-the-Fly compression in both Single-Node and Scale-Out deployments. Based on a theoretical analysis, this paper demonstrates the feasibility of hardware-accelerated On-the-Fly I/O Link Compression for many workloads in a Scale-Out scenario, and for some even in a Single-Node scenario. These findings are confirmed in a preliminary evaluation using software-and hardware-based implementations of the 842 compression algorithm.

These models can be embedded in operating systems and execution environments to optimize execution at run time. Even though non-uniform memory access (NUMA) architectures are dominating today's server landscape, there is still a lack of parallel cost models that represent NUMA system sufficiently. Therefore, the existing NUMA models are analyzed, and a two-step performance assessment strategy is proposed that incorporates low-level hardware counters as performance indicators. To support the two-step strategy, multiple tools are developed, all accumulating and enriching specific hardware event counter information, to explore, measure, and visualize these low-overhead performance indicators. The tools are showcased and discussed alongside specific experiments in the realm of performance assessment.

Although the first solutions to this problem were proposed in the 1970s and 1980s, there is still potential for improvements. Advancements in neural network technology made in recent years also lead to the emergence of enhanced QRS detectors based on artificial neural networks. In this work, we propose a method for assessing the certainty that is in each of the detected QRS complexes, i.e. how confident the QRS detector is that there is, in fact, a QRS complex in the position where it was detected. We further show how this metric can be utilised to distinguish correctly detected QRS complexes from false detections.

The relatively static association between units of processing and computing nodes makes it difficult to implement fault-tolerant behavior or load-balancing schemes. The concept of code migration may provide a solution to the above-mentioned problems. it can be defined as the movement of processes, objects, or components from one computing node to another during system runtime in a distributed environment. With the advent of the virtual machine-based NET framework, many of the cross-language heterogeneity issues have been resolved. With the commercial implementation, the shared source "Rotor", and the open-source "Mono" implementation on hand, we have focused on cross-operating system heterogeneity issues and present interoperability and migration schemes for applications distributed over different operating systems (namely Linux and Windows 2000) as well as various NET implementations. Within this paper, we describe the integration of a migration facility with the hell) of Aspect- Oriented Programming (AOP) into the NET framework. AOP is interesting as it addresses non-functional system properties on the middleware level, without the need to manipulate lower system layers like the operating system itself. Most features required to implement object or process migration (such as reflection mechanisms or a machine-independent executable format) are already present in the NET frameworks, so the integration of such a concept is a natural extension of the system capabilities. We have implemented several proof-of-concept applications for different use case scenarios. The paper contains an experimental evaluation of the performance impact of object migration in context of those applications. Y1 - 2009 SN - 0267-6192 ER -
