Already in 2022 and 2023, Xyna.com / Xyna.AI was a main sponsor of the OpenRheinMain conference for Open Source and Digital Technologies (https://www.openrheinmain.org).
In recent years, the OpenRheinMain (ORM) has established itself as an important regional event in the Rhine-Main area, bringing together companies, research institutes, and students with interesting lectures and workshops. This year as well, Prof. Dr. Michael von Rüden (Department of Distributed Systems) and the Department of Computer Science at the University of Applied Sciences invited participants to Darmstadt – and we were the largest supporter of the event as a Gold Sponsor.
In the keynote „AI vs. Quantum Computing” Dr. Alexander Ebbes (xyna.AI) and Dr. Thomas Ehmer from the Healthcare Digital Innovation division at Merck AG engaged in a dialectic dialogue, comparing the two concepts and approaches for Future Computing. The presentation spanned a wide range of topics, from theoretical foundations to the history and development of recent years, to current approaches and application areas, as seen at GIP / Xyna in the fields of telecom networks and computational biology. The rapidly advancing fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing (QC) are at the forefront of technological innovation. Both promise to revolutionize industry and society with their unique capabilities.
With Dr. Thomas Ehmer, a renowned expert in quantum computing was secured. He is a co-founder of the Merck Quantum Computing Task Force and a speaker at many conferences worldwide on the topic. He represents Merck in the Pharma Industry Quantum Computing Consortium (QuPharm) and the Pistoia Quantum Group. He is also a member of Merck Group’s working group in QUTAC – the German quantum industry application consortium. He researches quantum machine learning and optimization, evaluating various hardware platforms and determining which applications or problems are best suited to the different architectures.
In addition to the keynote, Xyna.com also contributed a session in the afternoon. Dr. Sascha Krause, Consultant at GIP Exyr GmbH, provided students and conference participants with an overview of the TM Forum Open APIs: where they come from, the advantages (and potentially consequences) they bring – and, of course, how such interfaces and BSS/OSS application chains can be implemented using the new Xyna OAS and TMF functionalities.
In addition to the presentations, Xyna was also represented with a booth at the exhibition. Visitors had the opportunity to experience workflow automation with Xyna Factory live, including the OAS / TMF API automation showcased in Dr. Krause's presentation. This year also featured a very special highlight: an original Atari 600 XL (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_600XL) with a River Raid challenge and great prizes – culminating in fantastic winners with impressive high scores!
All in all, it was a very successful event – and we are already looking forward to continuing it next year.
Stay tuned for more exciting developments and insights into our work, and join us at future events. We look forward to engaging with you!

Under this motto, GIP Exyr GmbH, a 100% subsidiary of GIP AG, hosted XynaCom on 14.06.2022 at the Kulturzentrum, Mainz.
In the morning, exciting workshops were held, which provided an insight into selected projects. New employees were also welcomed and introduced. One of the highlights of the event was the presentation by Dr. Alexander Ebbes, who announced the initial open source publishing, the first release of Xyna Factory on GitHub under Apache license.
“For Xyna to be successful, out there in the wild, we have to reinvent it, reposition it in a new and contemporary way."
This quote from Dr. Alexander Ebbes shows that the tool is no longer limited in its potential and can now develop further. This also changes the mindset of the GIP, which thus also looks to a new future.
Afterwards, Dr. Bernd Reifenhäuser, as initiator, announced the foundation of the Future Networking Research Alliance. The goal of the alliance is to lay the foundations for future networks and software-defined networks through cooperative research. The focus will be on software-defined, resilient and secure networks as well as 6G and the Internet of Everything (IoE). The entire article by Dr. Bernd Reifenhäuser on the founding of the alliance can be found on LinkedIn.
In addition to GIP AG, the alliance is currently formed by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ulrich Trick and Prof. Dr. Armin Lehmann from the Telecommunications Networks Research Group at the University Of Applied Science Frankfurt, as well as Prof. Dr. Martin Stiemerling and Prof. Dr. Michael von RĂĽden from the Department of Computer Science at Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences. It is completed by Dr. Alexander Ebbes, who represents GIP Exyr GmbH. By forming the alliance, GIP has significantly strengthened its research in the areas of 5G, 6G and Internet of Everything (IoE). By jointly applying and participating in research funding activities, the alliance will be able to fund challenging and high-risk research in the future.
The last presentation of XynaCom by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ulrich Trick covered the technology of 5th generation mobile networks. At the end of the event, a copy of the book "5G: An Introduction to 5th Generation Mobile Networks" by Prof. Dr. Trick was raffled off to all participating guests.
In addition to all the interesting presentations, the XynaCom was a fitting event to also celebrate the coming together of the employee:s in a larger setting since the beginning of the Corona Pandemic.
We look back on this beautiful and eventful day with pleasure.
Monday, June 20, 2022
On the initiative of Dr. Bernd Reifenhäuser, GIP AG, the Future Networks research alliance was founded at XynaCom on June 14, 2022, together with Prof. Ulrich Trick and Prof. Armin Lehmann, Telecommunications Networks Research Group of the University of Applied Science Frankfurt am Main, and Dr. Alexander Ebbes, GIP Exyr GmbH.
Among the founding members, who unfortunately could not attend XynaCom on June 14, are Prof. Martin Stiemerling, Prof. Stefan Valentin and Prof. Michael von RĂĽden of the Department of Computer Science at the University of Applied Sciences Darmstadt.
The objective of the alliance is to lay the foundations for future networks and software-defined networks through cooperative research. The focus will be on software-defined, resilient and secure networks as well as 6G and the Internet of Everything (IoE).
Current global political developments in particular show that resilience and cyber security are becoming central for networks, as lifelines for our future. But also to be able to counter climate change with technical measures, the stronger networking of people, data, things and processes through the IoE will be inevitable. The next generation of mobile communications, 6G, will offer new dimensions for wireless networking, e.g., with special purpose networks, and thus open up new potential for IoE innovations.
Alongside the future Internet of Everything, energy supply will form the backbone of our society. IoE and energy supply are closely linked, so this aspect will also be the subject of the research alliance.
The alliance is to be expanded to include medium-sized technology suppliers and providers of all sizes. A central task of the alliance is the successful acquisition of national and European research funds in order to be able to finance these breakthrough innovations.
