The space probes Voyager 1 and 2 are the only manifestations of humanity so far that have travelled beyond the edges of the heliosphere. They were launched into space in 1977 and a decade later flew past the most distant planets in our solar system. …

Netze

Grundlagenseminar

Mittwochs, 16 – 18 Uhr
Filzengraben 8 – 10, Lab3

We will explore the term ‘net’ on the basis of current electronic communication technologies. How is the nature of electromagnetic waves used to imprint information and thereby realize the rapidly growing interconnetion of everyday things?

But the technologies of wireless communication are not at the center of the seminar. We are asking about the general principles of networking. In system theory for example networks are loosely coupled autonomous objects that only by mutual dependencies and permanent communication build an entity that we call network. We use and program (on arduino basis) a set of mechanical spiders to examine the basic terminology of networks.

Material for the seminar networks/netze

Neural oscillators are interesting because they allow to create rhythmic behavior in a very elegant way. They can be realized with just two mathematical equations that describe the behavior of two mutually coupled systems in time.
