ChatGPT – Innovative Language Generation Model
ChatGPT is a new and innovative language generation model created by OpenAI. This AI-powered chatbot has the ability to generate human-like responses to a wide range of questions, making it a great tool for natural language processing. ChatGPT is based on the transformer architecture and has been trained on a massive corpus of text data, allowing it to generate coherent and contextually relevant responses.
One of the biggest advantages of ChatGPT is its ability to handle multiple tasks simultaneously, including question answering, conversation generation, and language translation. This makes it a versatile tool for a wide range of industries, […]
“Der Standard” on ULTIMOB & Airport 4.0
The Austrian daily newspaper “Der Standard” reports in a research special on two successful projects from the Research Studio iSPACE – Smart Settlement Systems: ULTIMOB and Airport 4.0.
For example, the Ultimob use case Leogang is cited as a successful example. In cooperation with the Salzburg Transport Association and the province of Salzburg, the project analyses the need for a “micro-public transport” system integrated into the environmental network. Together with the municipality, a flexible shuttle service was developed. The Loigom Shuttle has been in operation since September and offers an attractive service for locals and tourists.
The aim of the […]
BONUS – “An Opportunity for Salzburg”
The Salzburger Nachrichten report on BONUS as a successful project in the field of redensification.
In Salzburg, as in most cities, there is an increasing need for sensible and sustainable redensification to create new living space. This is why the BONUS project was launched. Together with the City of Salzburg as project partner, the research studio iSPACE – Smart Settlement Systems under the direction of Dr. Thomas Prinz developed an innovative post-densification consultancy, which focuses on potentials and mobilisation in the existing stock.

Austria Innovativ on ULTIMOB & Flughafen 4.0
Austria Innovativ, Austria’s leading magazine for science, innovation and research, currently reports on the ULTIMOB and Airport 4.0 projects from the Research Studio iSPACE – Smart Settlement Systems.
Both projects are about new, customised types of mobility and the question of how people can be convinced to use public transport. New scientific, data-technical and decision-supporting principles are being developed to support the planning and implementation of future-oriented mobility offers.

RTI Initiative “Showcase Regions Energy”
Austria’s goal is to be climate neutral by 2040. To achieve this, the Climate and Energy Fund is promoting innovative technologies “Made in Austria”.
At the annual event of the RTI initiative “Vorzeigeregion Energie”, which runs until 2025, an interim balance was drawn up on November 7, 2022 in Salzburg. This year, the stage belonged especially to those women who are active in the three showcase regions. Researchers from science and industry gave an insight into their work, which is also attracting attention beyond Austria through the global research alliance “Mission Innovation”.
Ingrid Schardinger from the Research Studio iSPACE was […]
First DoSSIER Summer School
Last week the 1st DoSSIER summer school was held after two years from the start of the project in the beautiful city of Olympiada in Greece. DoSSIER is an EU Horizon 2020 ITN/ETN project on Domain Specific Systems for Information Extraction and Retrieval which is being implemented via 15 Early Stage Researcher (ESR) projects led by 15 PhD students across 4 EU states in addition to the UK.
During the summer school there had been more than 10 lectures prepared by DoSSIER members and invited lecturers which covered a variety of scientific topics ranging from technical aspects of conducting […]

Follow-Up Project “Aufzonierungsgebiete”
For several years, the city of Salzburg has consistently pursued a strategy of settlement development based on internal and subsequent densification in order to meet future housing needs. This is exactly where the project "Nachverdichtungsmonitor" from the studio iSPACE - Smart Settlement Systems started: in order to monitor the success of the goals and measures set, a standardized, transparent GIS evaluation tool was created in the form of the "Nachverdichtungsmonitor" which compares the development of the building stock with the maximum building densities [...]
Studio Data Science Phd-candidate joins Austria’s first symposium on AI and robotics
Researcher Alaa El-Ebshihy was part of the first symposium on AI and robotics in Austria "AIRoV" in Innsbruck. The presentation of one of her articles was also on the programme: it deals with the challenges of so-called "scientific knowledge graphs" and possible solutions.
New aquaponics project gives AI not only a brain, but also eyes
The so-called ‘synaesthetic AI’ in a new SDIS project brings together sensor inputs and acquired knowledge in aquaponics and thus facilitates the construction and operation of such systems. However, the approach of combining live data and existing data sets for artificial intelligence can be used in all cyber-physical systems.
Using spaces instead of wasting space with the project Sharing Hubs
Shared forms of mobility, sustainable (re)allocation of space and attractive, inclusive, needs-based access to mobility in residential and business areas are the aim of the iSPACE Sharing Hubs project. Vehicles should be shared in these hubs, while the existing parking spaces are also to be used in more than one way. The spatial decoupling of living/working and parking promotes shared mobility. In addition, these sharing hubs can be equipped with low-cost e-charging infrastructure and supplemented with services such as parcel boxes.
