Matthias Varga von Kibéd und Insa Sparrer unterscheiden zwischen drei verschiedenen Aufstellungsmethoden (Sparrer und Varga von Kibéd, o. D.): Der spezifisch (konkreten), der virtuellen und der prototypischen Aufstellung. Bei spezifischen Aufstellungen wird ein konkretes Anliegen eines Klienten betrachtet. Im Gegensatz dazu, werden bei virtuellen Aufstellungen eine Übungsumgebung geschaffen. In dieser können Aufstellungstechniken und Interventionsmethoden geübt werden. Bei prototypischen Strukturaufstellungen werden Themen zusammengefasst, die mehrere Teilnehmer im Seminar berühren bzw. in deren Alltag immer wieder auftreten können. Dieses Thema wird wie eine spezifische Aufstellung bearbeitet jedoch ohne ein konkretes vorliegendes Anliegen. Beispiele für prototypische Strukturaufstellungen kommen aus vielen Bereichen z.B. dem Führungsalltag, Teamentwicklung, Konfliktmanagement, Gesprächsführung, Zeit‐ und Selbstmanagement.
Companies are becoming aware of the potential risks arising from sustainability aspects in supply chains. These risks can affect ecological, economic or social aspects. One important element in managing those risks is improved transparency in supply chains by means of digital transformation. Innovative technologies like blockchain technology can be used to enforce transparency. In this paper, we present a smart contract-based Supply Chain Control Solution to reduce risks. Technological capabilities of the solution will be compared to a similar technology approach and evaluated regarding their benefits and challenges within the framework of supply chain models. As a result, the proposed solution is suitable for the dynamic administration of complex supply chains.
We propose a method for recognizing dynamic gestures using a 3D sensor. New aspects of the developed system include problem-adapted data conversion and compression as well as automatic detection of different variants of the same gesture via clustering with a suitable metric inspired by Jaccard metric. The combination of Hidden Markov Models and clustering leads to robust detection of different executions based on a small set of training data. We achieved an increase of 5% recognition rate compared to regular Hidden Markov Models. The system has been used for human-machine interaction and might serve as an assistive system in physiotherapy and neurological or orthopedic diagnosis.
Urban platforms are essential for smart and sustainable city planning and operation. Today they are mostly designed to handle and connect large urban data sets from very different domains. Modelling and optimisation functionalities are usually not part of the cities software infrastructure. However, they are considered crucial for transformation scenario development and optimised smart city operation. The work discusses software architecture concepts for such urban platforms and presents case study results on the building sector modelling, including urban data analysis and visualisation. Results from a case study in New York are presented to demonstrate the implementation status.
In networked operating room environments, there is an emerging trend towards standardized non-proprietary communication protocols which allow to build new integration solutions and flexible human-machine interaction concepts. The most prominent endeavor is the IEEE 11073 SDC protocol. For some uses cases, it would be helpful if not just medical devices could be controlled based on SDC, but also building automation systems like light, shutters, air condition, etc. For those systems, the KNX protocol is widely used. We build an SDC-to-KNX gateway which allows to use the SDC protocol for sending commands to connected KNX devices. The first prototype system was successfully implemented at the demonstration operating room at Reutlingen University. This is a first step toward the integration of a broader variety of KNX devices.
Documentation of clinical processes, especially in the perioperative are, is a base requirement for quality of service. Nonetheless, the documentation is a burden for the medical staff since it distracts from the clinical core process. An intuitive and user-friendly documentation system could increase documentation quality and reduce documentation workload. The optimal system solution would know what happened and the person documenting the step would need a single “confirm” button. In many cases, such a linear flow of activities is given as long as only one profession (e.g. anaestesiology, scrub nurse) is considered, but even in such cases, there might be derivations from the linear process flow and further interaction is required.
At DBKDA 2019, we demonstrated that StrongDBMS with simple but rigorous optimistic algorithms, provides better performance in situations of high concurrency than major commercial database management systems (DBMS). The demonstration was convincing but the reasons for its success were not fully analysed. There is a brief account of the results below. In this short contribution, we wish to discuss the reasons for the results. The analysis leads to a strong criticism of all DBMS algorithms based on locking, and based on these results, it is not fanciful to suggest that it is time to re-engineer existing DBMS.
The typed graph model
(2020)
In recent years, the Graph Model has become increasingly popular, especially in the application domain of social networks. The model has been semantically augmented with properties and labels attached to the graph elements. It is difficult to ensure data quality for the properties and the data structure because the model does not need a schema. In this paper, we propose a schema bound Typed Graph Model with properties and labels. These enhancements improve not only data quality but also the quality of graph analysis. The power of this model is provided by using hyper-nodes and hyper edges, which allows to present a data structure on different abstraction levels. We demonstrate by example the superiority of this model over the property graph data model of Hidders and other prevalent data models, namely the relational, object-oriented, and XML model.
Additive manufacturing (AM) is a promising manufacturing method for many industrial sectors. For this application, industrial requirements such as high production volumes and coordinated implementation must be taken into account. These tasks of the internal handling of production facilities are carried out by the Production Planning and Control (PPC) information system. A key factor in the planning and scheduling is the exact calculation of manufacturing times. For this purpose we investigate the use of Machine Learning (ML) for the prediction of manufacturing times of AM facilities.
