IoT with the Raspberry Pi – Final application – Part 3
In our final application, we have put together a solution consisting of four different modules. First, we have again the Raspberry Pi which raises and sends the sensor data using the already presented Python script. We changed the transfer protocol in the final application to MQTT, which gives us more possibilities in different aspects, but…
IoT with the Raspberry Pi – Node RED – Part 2
As already stated in the introduction to our project, we decided to create a Cloud Foundry-Application in IBM Bluemix. We used the boilerplate called “Internet of Things Platform Starter”. Using this boilerplate Node Red is deployed initially. Node Red is a software tool for graphical dataflow programming. It was developed by IBM and is open…

Predictive Policing – eine kritisch-negative Vorhersage
In diesem Blogpost möchte ich auf die Gefahren, die Predictive Policing verursachen könnte, eingehen wenn es als wissenschaftlich fundiert angesehen und bedenkenlos eingesetzt wird. Predictive Policing bedeutet ‘vorausschauende Polizeiarbeit’ und ist nicht erst seit dem Zehn-Punkte-Plan von Martin Schulz und der SPD ein beliebtes Buzzword im Zusammenhang mit Wohnungseinbrüchen. Dabei wird versucht, bei Delikten Muster…
Human Error in IT failures
With the ever-increasing complexity of artificial systems that aid humans in their daily and work lives, their operation procedures have grown more complicated and the potential for mishandling is higher than ever before. In the IT world, modern systems that must serve hundreds of millions of customers simultaneously and reliably have grown so complex that…
