The impact of stress of every human being has become a serious problem. Reported impact on persons are a higher rate or health disorders like heart problems, obesity, asthma, diabetes, depressions and many others. An individual in a stressful situation has to deal with altered cognition as well as an affected decision making skill and problem solving. This could lead to a higher risk for accidents in dynamic environments such as automotive. Different papers faced the estimation as well as prediction of drivers’ stress level during driving. Another important question is not only the stress level of the driver himself, but also the influence on and of a group of other drivers in the near area. This paper proposes a system, which determines a group of drivers in a near area as clusters and it derives or computes the individual stress level. This information will be analyzed to generate a stress map, which represents a graphical view about road section with a higher stress influence. Aggregated data can be used to generate navigation routes with a lower stress influence as well as recommend driving behavior to decrease stress influenced driving as well as improve road safety.
In this work, a web-based software architecture and framework for management and diagnosis of large amounts of medical data in an ophthalmologic reading center is proposed. Data management for multi-center studies requires merging of standing data and repeatedly gathered clinical evidence such as vital signs and raw data. If ophthalmologic questions are involved the data acquisition is often provided by non-medical staff at the point of care or a study center, whereas the medical finding is mostly provided by an ophthalmologist in a specialized reading center. The study data such as participants, cohorts and measured values are administrated at a single data center for the entire study. Since a specialized reading center maintains several studies, the medical staff must learn the different data administration for the different data center. With respect to the increasing number and sizes of clinical studies, two aspects must be considered. At first, an efficient software framework is required to support the data management, processing and diagnosis by medical experts at the reading center. In the second place, this software needs a standardized user-interface that has not to be trained/taylore /adapted for each new study. Furthermore different aspects of quality and security controls have to be included. Therefore, the objective of this work is to establish a multi purpose ophthalmologic reading center, which can be connected to different data centers via configurable data interfaces in order to treat various topics simultaneously.
The Third International Conference on Data Analytics (DATA ANALYTICS 2014), held on August 24 - 28, 2014 - Rome, Italy, continued the inaugural event on fundamentals in supporting data analytics, special mechanisms and features of applying principles of data analytics, application oriented analytics, and target-area analytics.
Processing of terabytes to petabytes of data, or incorporating non-structural data and multistructured data sources and types require advanced analytics and data science mechanisms for both raw and partially-processed information. Despite considerable advancements on high performance, large storage, and high computation power, there are challenges in identifying, clustering, classifying, and interpreting of a large spectrum of information.
Das digitale Unternehmen erfordert neue Konzepte des Digital Enterprise Computing. Dieses umfasst eine interdisziplinäre Verbindung von Vorgehensweisen aus der Informatik, der Ökonomie und weiteren relevanten Wissenschaftsdisziplinen. Neue Architekturen mit integrierten Mobility-Systemen, kollaborativen Geschäftsprozessen, Big Data und Cloud-Ökosystemen beflügeln aktuelle und künftige Geschäftsstrategien und machen die digitale Transformation zu neuen Geschäftsfeldern erst möglich. Dafür ist eine enge Kooperation verschiedener Partner aus Wissenschaft, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft notwendig. Die Jahreskonferenz Digital Enterprise Computing positioniert die Gesellschaft für Informatik als wissenschaftlichen Mitveranstalter und vertieft Erfahrungen aus dem Arbeitskreis Enterprise Architecture Management der Fachgruppe Architekturen im Fachbereich Softwaretechnik der Gesellschaft für Informatik.
This book presents emerging trends in the evolution of service-oriented and enterprise architectures. New architectures and methods of both business and IT are integrating services to support mobility systems, internet of things, ubiquitous computing, collaborative and adaptive business processes, big data, and cloud ecosystems. They inspire current and future digital strategies and create new opportunities for the digital transformation of next digital products and services. Services Oriented Architectures (SOA) and Enterprise Architectures (EA) have emerged as a useful framework for developing interoperable, large-scale systems, typically implementing various standards, like web services, REST, and microservices. Managing the adaptation and evolution of such systems presents a great challenge. Service-Oriented Architecture enables flexibility through loose coupling, both between the services themselves and between the IT organizations that manage them. Enterprises evolve continuously by transforming and extending their services, processes and information systems. Enterprise Architectures provide a holistic blueprint to help define the structure and operation of an organization with the goal of determining how an organization can most effectively achieve its objectives. The book proposes several approaches to address the challenges of the service-oriented evolution of digital enterprise and software architectures.
The second Digital Enterprise Computing Conference DEC 16 at the Herman Hollerith Center in Böblingen brings together students, researchers, and practitioners to discuss solutions, experiences, and future developments for the digital transformation. Digitization of business and IT defines the conference agenda: technology acceptance, digital transformation, digital business & administration, digital process challenges, analytics, and big data & data processing.
The troubles began when Tom, the business analyst, asked the customer what he wants. The customer came up with good ideas for software features. Tom created a brilliant roadmap and defined the requirements for a new software product. Mary, the development team leader, was already eager to start developing and happy when she got the requirements. She and her team went ahead and created the software right away. Afterwards, Paul tested the software against the requirements. As soon as the software fulfilled the requirements, Linda, the product manager, deployed it to the customer. The customer did not like the software and ignored it. Ringo, the head of software development, was fired. How come? Nowadays, we have tremendous capabilities for creating nearly all kinds of software to fulfill the needs of customers. We can apply agile practices for reacting flexibly to changing requirements, we can use distributed development, open source, or other means for creating software at low cost, we can use cloud technologies for deploying software rapidly, and we can get enormous amounts of data showing us how customers actually use software products. However, the sad reality is that around 90% of products fail, and more than 60% of the features of a typical software product are rarely or never used. But there is a silver lining – an insight regarding successful features: Around 60% of the successes stem from a significant change of an initial idea. This gives us a hint on how to build the right software for users and customers.
Managing software process evolution : traditional, agile and beyond - how to handle process change
(2016)
This book focuses on the design, development, management, governance and application of evolving software processes that are aligned with changing business objectives, such as expansion to new domains or shifting to global production. In the context of an evolving business world, it examines the complete software process lifecycle, from the initial definition of a product to its systematic improvement. In doing so, it addresses difficult problems, such as how to implement processes in highly regulated domains or where to find a suitable notation system for documenting processes, and provides essential insights and tips to help readers manage process evolutions. And last but not least, it provides a wealth of examples and cases on how to deal with software evolution in practice.
Reflecting these topics, the book is divided into three parts. Part 1 focuses on software business transformation and addresses the questions of which process(es) to use and adapt, and how to organize process improvement programs. Subsequently, Part 2 mainly addresses process modeling. Lastly, Part 3 collects concrete approaches, experiences, and recommendations that can help to improve software processes, with a particular focus on specific lifecycle phases.
This book is aimed at anyone interested in understanding and optimizing software development tasks at their organization. While the experiences and ideas presented will be useful for both those readers who are unfamiliar with software process improvement and want to get an overview of the different aspects of the topic, and for those who are experts with many years of experience, it particularly targets the needs of researchers and Ph.D. students in the area of software and systems engineering or information systems who study advanced topics concerning the organization and management of (software development) projects and process improvements projects.
Information Systems in Distributed Environment (ISDE) is becoming a prominent standard in this globalization era due to advancement in information and communication technologies. The advent of the internet has supported Distributed Software Development (DSD) by introducing new concepts and opportunities, resulting in benefits such as scalability, flexibility, interdependence, reduced cost, resource pools, and usage tracking. The distributed development of information systems as well as their deployment and operation in distributed environments impose new challenges for software organizations and can lead to business advantages. In distributed environments, business units collaborate across time zones, organizational boundaries, work cultures and geographical distances, something that ultimately has led to an increasing diversification and growing complexity of cooperation among units. The real-world practice of developing, deployment and operation of information systems in globally distributed projects has been viewed from various perspectives, though technical and engineering in conjunction with managerial and organizational viewpoints have dominated the researcher’s attention so far. Successful participation in distributed environments, however, is ultimately a matter of the participants understanding and exploiting the particularities of their respective local contexts at specific points in time and exploring practical solutions through the local resources available.
This special issue of the Computer standards & interfaces journal therefore includes papers received from the public call for papers and extended and improved versions of those papers that were selected from the best of the International Workshop on Information Systems in Distributed Environment (ISDE 2014). It aims to serve as a forum to bring together academics, researchers, practitioners and students in the field of distributed information system, by presenting novel developments and lesson learned from real world cases, and to promote the exchange of ideas, discussion and advancement in these areas.
Data collected from internet applications are mainly stored in the form of transactions. All transactions of one user form a sequence, which shows the user´s behaviour on the site. Nowadays, it is important to be able to classify the behaviour in real time for various reasons: e.g. to increase conversion rate of customers while they are in the store or to prevent fraudulent transactions before they are placed. However, this is difficult due to the complex structure of the data sequences (i.e. a mix of categorical and continuous data types, constant data updates) and the large amounts of data that are stored. Therefore, this thesis studies the classification of complex data sequences. It surveys the fields of time series analysis (temporal data mining), sequence data mining or standard classification algorithms. It turns out that these algorithms are either difficult to be applied on data sequences or do not deliver a classification: Time series need a predefined model and are not able to handle complex data types; sequence classification algorithms such as the apriori algorithm family are not able to utilize the time aspect of the data. The strengths and weaknesses of the candidate algorithms are identified and used to build a new approach to solve the problem of classification of complex data sequences. The problem is thereby solved by a two-step process. First, feature construction is used to create and discover suitable features in a training phase. Then, the blueprints of the discovered features are used in a formula during the classification phase to perform the real time classification. The features are constructed by combining and aggregating the original data over the span of the sequence including the elapsed time by using a calculated time axis. Additionally, a combination of features and feature selection are used to simplify complex data types. This allows catching behavioural patterns that occur in the course of time. This new proposed approach combines techniques from several research fields. Part of the algorithm originates from the field of feature construction and is used to reveal behaviour over time and express this behaviour in the form of features. A combination of the features is used to highlight relations between them. The blueprints of these features can then be used to achieve classification in real time on an incoming data stream. An automated framework is presented that allows the features to adapt iteratively to a change in underlying patterns in the data stream. This core feature of the presented work is achieved by separating the feature application step from the computational costly feature construction step and by iteratively restarting the feature construction step on the new incoming data. The algorithm and the corresponding models are described in detail as well as applied to three case studies (customer churn prediction, bot detection in computer games, credit card fraud detection). The case studies show that the proposed algorithm is able to find distinctive information in data sequences and use it effectively for classification tasks. The promising results indicate that the suggested approach can be applied to a wide range of other application areas that incorporate data sequences.

Anforderungen an die Mensch-Maschine-Schnittstelle im Automobil auf dem Weg zum autonomen Fahren
(2017)
In den letzten Jahrzehnten haben immer mehr Fahrerassistenzsysteme Einzug in das Automobil gefunden und bereiten damit den Weg zu vollautonomen Fahrzeugen der Zukunft vor. So bieten bereits viele Hersteller Ausstattungsvarianten ihrer Fahrzeuge an, die für den Umstieg in die vollautonome Zukunft gewappnet sind. Um den Menschen mit auf den Weg zu nehmen, werden einige Anforderungen an die Mensch-Maschine-Schnittstelle (MMS) des Automobils gestellt. Für die teilautonomen Fahrzeuge der nächsten Generation gilt es, den Fahrerwechsel zwischen manuellem und autonomen Fahren für die Menschen bestmöglich zu gestalten. Die Arbeit wirft einen Blick auf ausgewählte Ansätze für zukünftige MMS-Systeme und bewertet diese anhand der Übergabezeiten zwischen Mensch und Maschine. Ein Wandel der MMS im Automobil wird empfohlen, um den Menschen mit den neuen Technologien vertraut zu machen.
Integrierte Schaltkreise (IC) sind ein integraler Bestandteil vieler Geräte wie zum Beispiel Smartphones, Computer oder Fernseher. Auf den Schaltkreisen werden immer mehr Funktionen integriert. Um die Arbeit auch zukünftig in gegebener Zeit bewältigen zu können, bedarf es daher einer Möglichkeit für die gleichzeitige Zusammenarbeit der Entwickler. Unter dem Arbeitstitel eCEDA (eCollaboration for Electronic Design Automation) wird ein Konzept für eine Webanwendung entwickelt, die die Echtzeitkollaboration von Entwicklern im Chipentwurf ermöglichen soll. Dieses Konzept sowie verschiedene Aspekte der Kollaboration werden in dieser Arbeit behandelt.
Die meisten der aktuell im Allag vorfindlichen Touch-Flächen wurden unter Anwendung komplexer und kostenintensiver Technologien realisiert. Gerade für das Anwendungsszenario eines Touchfloors, bei welchem meist eine überdurchschnittlich große Touch-Fläche erwünscht ist, werden kostengünstigere Umsetzungsmöglichkeiten angestrebt. Dieses Paper dient als Ausgangsbasis für die Umsetzung eines Low-cost Touchfloors, der die kollaborative Arbeit eines Projektteams unterstützen soll. Mithilfe einer Analyse des State of the Arts der Touch-Technologien und einer anschließenden Evaluation, wird die Touch-Technologie abgeleitet, die sich am besten zur Realisierung dieses low-cost Touchfloors eignet. Aus der Evaluation geht hervor, dass vor allem optische Touch-Technologien, insbesondere visionsbasierte, für die Umsetzung von kostengünstigen großen Touch-Flächen geeignet sind.
Rapid Prototyping Plattformen reduzieren die Entwicklungszeit, indem das Überprüfen einer Idee in Form eines Prototyps schnell umzusetzen ist und mehr Zeit für die eigentliche Anwendungsentwicklung mit Benutzerschnittstellen zur Verfügung steht. Dieser Ansatz wird schon lange bei technischen Plattformen, wie bspw. dem Arduino, verfolgt. Um diese Form von Prototyping auf Wearables zu übertragen, wird in diesem Paper WearIT vorgestellt. WearIT besteht als Wearable Prototyping Plattform aus vier Komponenten: Einer Weste, Sensor- und Aktorshieldss, einer eigenen bibliothek sowie einem Mainboard bestehend aus Arduino, Raspberry Pi, einer Steckplatine und einem GPS-Modul. Als Ergebnis kann ein Wearable Prototyp schnell, durch das Anbringen von Sensor- und Aktorshields an der WearIT Weste, entwickelt werden. Diese Sensor- und Aktorshields können anschließend durch die WearIT-Bibliothek programmiert werden. Dafür kann über Virtual Network Computing (VNC) mit einem entfernten Rechner auf die Bildschirminhalte des Rasperry Pis zugegriffen und der Arduino programmiert werden.
Im Rahmen der wissenschaftlichen Vertieung werden unterschiedliche empirische Forschungsmethoden erörtert.
Im ersten Schritt werden die Grundlagen der empirischen Forschungsmethoden ermittelt und klassifiziert. Nach der Klassifikation der Forschungsmethoden werden zwei Forschunsmethoden angewandt. Die Auswahl der Methoden fällt auf die quantitative und qualitative Forschungsmethode.
Diese Forschungsmethoden werden während der Analysephase eingesetzt, um den weltweiten Ist-Zustand der Tochtergesellschaften zu ermitteln. Hierbei geht es um die Analyse des Import- und Export-Prozesses bei den Tochtergesellschaften der HUGO BOSS AG. Ziel ist es, die Ergebnisse für die Master Thesis einzusetzen. Anhand der Ergebnisse können Gemeinsamkeiten oder auch Abweichungen im Zollabwicklungsprozess aufgezeigt werden, die später in der Konzeption berücksichtigt werden.
Hierzu wird die qualitative Methode eingesetzt, welche die Basis für die Konzeptionierung der Umfrage liefert. Abschließend wurde für die Verifikation der Ergebnisse die qualitative Methode für die Interviews eingesetzt.
Automatisierte Analyse von Review-Daten beschäftigt sich mit den Möglichkeiten, freien Text zu analysieren und relevante Informationen daraus zu extrahieren. Die Arbeit setzt sich dabei mit Methoden des unüberwachten Lernens auseinander. Hierbei steht die Methode der Topic Modellierung im Mittelpunkt. Es werden Verfahren betrachtet, die im Bereich der textbasierten Informationsgewinnung bekannt sind. Latent Semantic Indexing LSI, (probabilistic) pLSI und Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) werden erläutert und verglichen. Die Arbeit zeigt, wie LDA genutzt wurde, um einen nhaltlichen Überblick über einen Datenkorpus von 1 Mio. Reviews zu bekommen und diesen auf einen feineren Detailgrad zu betrachten. Die Topic-basierte Analyse wird genutzt, um Erkentnisse für ein Opinion Mining System zu generieren, welches eine tiefergehende Analyse vornehmen wird. Der gesamte Prozess ist als vollständig automatisiert und maschinell unüberwacht konzeptioniert.
Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde ein urbaner Mixed-Reality Fahrsimulator umgesetzt. Die reale Umgebung wird hierbei in einer Greenscreen-Kammer mit Hilfe von Kamerabildern aus Nutzersicht und einem Chroma Key Shader innerhalb der virtuellen Umgebung sichtbar gemacht. Dies soll die Immersion und die Interaktivität innerhalb der virtuellen Umgebung durch die Darstellung und Verwendung von realen Elementen erhöhen.
Als virtuelle Umgebung wurde eine zufallsgenerierte Stadt geschaffen, in der KI-Fahrzeuge fahren. Die Ergebnisse der Entwicklung dieses Fahrsimulators werden in dieser Arbeit erläutert.
Der Fahrsimulator soll der Entwicklung von menschzentrierten Human-Machine-Interfaces und Motion-Capture-Komponenten dienen.
