The progress in sensor technologies allows the miniaturization of sensor platforms. Integrated into everyday objects such platforms provide information about their physical environment. The integration of such information into spatial models leads to world models. The research objective of the Center of Excellence (SFB) 627 at the University of Stuttgart is to provide the methodological foundations for the generation, management, and usage of federated world models.
