Models and Methods for a Self-Organising Distributed Computing Platform for Satellite Constellations (C04)

• Subject Area: Automation, Mechatronics, Control Systems, Intelligent Technical Systems, Robotics
• Term: since 2024
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 516238647

Project C04 is dedicated to the investigation of fundamental models and methods for a self-organising, safety-critical and distributed autonomous computing platform for VLEO satellites and their ground segment infrastructure. Self-organisation algorithms for automatic function allocation in a dynamically changing computing topology will be developed. Possible methods are compared on the basis of generated application scenarios. The models will be evaluated and validated in parameter studies with regard to their general and mission-specific performance indicators.
