Outstanding scientific results of IIRC were awarded

The expert panels have picked top 42 outstanding research results across EP04 (technical sciences) field from the whole Czech Republic. The procedure was done as a part of the national system of science ranking RVVI in the Czech Republic with the emphasis on the impact of the results in past 5 years.

Two of the results achieved by our group itself were awarded, rendering it as a huge success. The total of 31 results for the entire Czech Technical University were awarded, making our contribution to overall university results greatly significant. More info at the university website [in czech].

Our awarded papers and consecutive industrial impact were following:

Hanzálek, Z. - Burget, P. - Šůcha, P.: Profinet IO IRT Message Scheduling With Temporal Constraints. Industrial Informatics, IEEE Transactions on. 2010, vol. 6, n

Published in WoS-Q1 journal with 11 citations in WoS (more than IF of the journal, which is 8.785) including citiations in 4 other IEEE Transactions. 28 heterocitations by Scholar. The article describes an algorithm to create a message schedule for Profinet IRT, which was unique at the time of the publication. This was the primary work on Profinet IRT, which continued in a series of other activities such as the establishment of the Certified Profinet Training Centre (certified by Profibus & Profinet International) in 2011. The related Certified Profinet Engineer course has been provided for more than 50 participants from Czech Republic, Austria, Turkey, India and the total turnover in terms of commercial agreements has been more than 1 million CZK since then. In 2014 another commercial project for 0,5 million CZK has been done for Profibus Nutzerorganisation, whose objective was to develop a tool, which is called IRTcheck, to check the Profinet IRT message schedule with respect to other parameters describing the characteristics of the involved devices. This tool has been used by major automation manufacturers like Siemens, WAGO, Phoenix Contact, Beckhoff, Molex, Hilscher whose development teams have been using the tool. From the point of view of PI an important fact is that the parameters generated by different Profinet IO Controllers, i.e. from different manufacturers, comply with the Profinet standard and thus the interoperability of the devices and the controllers is ensured. The tool is available for the members of PI for free.

Hanzálek, Z. - Jurčík, P.: Energy Efficient Scheduling for Cluster-Tree Wireless Sensor Networks With Time-Bounded Data Flows: Application to IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee. Industrial Informatics, IEEE Transactions on. 2010, vol. 6, no. 3, p. 438-450. ISSN 1551-3203.

Published in Q1 WoS journal. 35 hetero-citations in WoS (4x more than IF of the journal, which is 8.785), mostly from other journals. 49 citations according to Scopus. 61 hetero-citations in Scholar.This method for optimal setting of parameters in IEEE 802.15.4 wireless network was further extended by a parameter setting in IEEE 802.11p wireless networks used in Car-to-Car communication, which was contracted (47600,- EURO in 2013-2015) as a Linux implementation by Volkswagen Wolfsburg. The total amount of our contracts with Volkswagen in the area of vehicular communication protocols was 186000,- EURO in 2010-2015.
