Radiofrequency ablation is an ablation technique to treat tumors with focused heat. Computer tomography, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are imaging modalities which can be used for image-guided procedures. MRI offers several advantages in comparison to the other imaging modalities, such as radiation-free fluoroscopic imaging, temperature mapping, a high-soft-tissue contrast and free selection of imaging planes. This work addresses the application of 3Dcontrollers for controlling interventional, fluoroscopic MR sequences at the scenario of MR guided radiofrequency ablation of hepatic malignancies. During this procedure, the interventionalist can monitor the targeting of the tumor with near-real time fluoroscopic sequences. In general, adjustments of the imaging planes are necessary during tumor targeting, which is performed by an assistant in the control room. Therefore, communication between the interventionalist in the scanner room and the assistant in the control room is essential. However, verbal communication is impaired due to the loud scanning noises. Alternatively, non-verbal communication between the two persons is possible, however limited to a few gestures and susceptible to misunderstandings. This work is analyzing different 3D-controllers to enable control of interventional MR sequences during MR-guided procedures directly by the interventionalist. Leap Motion, Wii Remote, SpaceNavigator, Phantom Omni and Foot Switch were selected. For that a simulation was built in C++ with VTK to feign the real scenario for test purposes. Previous results showed that Leap Motion is not suitable for the application while Wii Remote and Foot Switch are possible input devices. Final evaluation showed a generally time reduction with the use of 3D-controllers. Best results were reached with Wii Remote in 34 seconds. Handholding input devices like Wii Remote have further potential to integrate them in real environment to reduce intervention time.
Die Arbeit stellt die Möglichkeiten von 3D-Controllern für den Einsatz in der interventionellen Radiologie und insbesondere für die Steuerung der Echtzeit-Magnetresonanztomographie (MRT) dar. Dies ist interessant in Bezug auf die kontrollierte Navigation in ein Zielgewebe. Dabei kann der Interventionalist durch Echtzeit- Bildgebung den Verlauf des Eingriffs verfolgen, allerdings kann er bisher das MRT während der Durchführung des Eingriffs nicht selbst steuern, da dies durch den Assistenten im Nebenraum erfolgt. Die Kommunikation ist bei dem hohen Geräuschpegel aber sehr schwer. Diese Arbeit setzt an dieser Stelle an und analysiert 3D-Controller auf die Eignung für die Echtzeit-Steuerung eines MRTs. Dabei wurden trackingbasierte und trackinglose Geräte betrachtet. Als Ergebnis ließ sich festhalten, dass trackingbasierte Verfahren weniger geeignet sind, aufgrund der nicht ausreichenden Interpretation der Eingaben. Die trackinglosen Geräte hingegen sind aufgrund der korrekten Interpretation aller Eingaben und der intuitiven Bedienung geeignet.
The Internet of Things (IoT) fundamentally influences today’s digital strategies with disruptive business operating models and fast changing markets. New business information systems are integrating emerging Internet of Things infrastructures and components. With the huge diversity of Internet of Things technologies and products organizations have to leverage and extend previous enterprise architecture efforts to enable business value by integrating the Internet of Things into their evolving Enterprise Architecture Management environments. Both architecture engineering and management of current enterprise architectures is complex and has to integrate beside the Internet of Things synergistic disciplines like EAM - Enterprise Architecture and Management with disciplines like: services & cloud computing, semantic-based decision support through ontologies and knowledge-based systems, big data management, as well as mobility and collaboration networks. To provide adequate decision support for complex business/IT environments, it is necessary to identify affected changes of Internet of Things environments and their related fast adapting architecture. We have to make transparent the impact of these changes over the integral landscape of affected EAM-capabilities, like directly and transitively impacted IoT-objects, business categories, processes, applications, services, platforms and infrastructures. The paper describes a new metamodel-based approach for integrating partial Internet of Things objects, which are semi-automatically federated into a holistic Enterprise Architecture Management environment.
The digital transformation of our society changes the way we live, work, learn, communicate, and collaborate. This disruptive change drive current and next information processes and systems that are important business enablers for the context of digitization since years. Our aim is to support flexibility and agile transformations for both business domains and related information technology with more flexible enterprise information systems through adaptation and evolution of digital architectures. The present research paper investigates the continuous bottom-up integration of micro-granular architectures for a huge amount of dynamically growing systems and services, like microservices and the Internet of Things, as part of a new composed digital architecture. To integrate micro-granular architecture models into living architectural model versions we are extending enterprise architecture reference models by state of art elements for agile architectural engineering to support digital products, services, and processes.
Enterprises are transforming their strategy, culture, processes, and their information systems to enlarge their digitalization efforts or to approach for digital leadership. The digital transformation profoundly disrupts existing enterprises and economies. In current times, a lot of new business opportunities appeared using the potential of the Internet and related digital technologies: The Internet of Things, services computing, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, big data with analytics, mobile systems, collaboration networks, and cyber physical systems. Digitization fosters the development of IT environments with many rather small and distributed structures, like the Internet of Things, microservices, or other micro-granular elements. Architecting micro-granular structures have a substantial impact on architecting digital services and products. The change from a closed-world modeling perspective to more flexible Open World of living software and system architectures defines the context for flexible and evolutionary software approaches, which are essential to enable the digital transformation. In this paper, we are revealing multiple perspectives of digital enterprise architecture and decisions to effectively support value and service oriented software systems for intelligent digital services and products.
Der lokale Bekleidungseinzelhandel steht unter immer stärkerem Konkurrenzdruck durch Versandunternehmen. Zusätzlich bestehen durch gewachsene Architekturen eine Reihe von Wachstumshemmnissen. Daher sollen hier eine Reihe von Ansätzen zur Gestaltung datenzentrierter Unternehmensarchitekturen für den Bekleidungseinzelhandel vorgestellt werden. Sie basieren auf dem Einsatz von RFID zur Gewinnung von Kundenprofilen in den Niederlassungen und dem Einsatz von Big-Data basierten Auswertungs- und Analysemechanismen. Mit den vorgestellten Konzepten ist es Unternehmen des Bekleidungseinzelhandels möglich, ähnlich wie Versandunternehmen, individuelle Ansprachen des Kunden und Angebote zu entwickeln
The digital transformation of our society changes the way we live, work, learn, communicate, and collaborate. This disruptive change interacts with all information processes and systems that are important business enablers for the digital transformation since years. The Internet of Things, social collaboration systems for adaptive case management, mobility systems and services for Big Data in cloud services environments are emerging to support intelligent user-centered and social community systems. They will shape future trends of business innovation and the next wave of information and communication technology. Biological metaphors of living and adaptable ecosystems provide the logical foundation for self-optimizing and resilient run-time environments for intelligent business services and related distributed information systems with service-oriented enterprise architectures. The present research investigates mechanisms for flexible adaptation and evolution of digital enterprise architectures in the context of integrated synergistic disciplines like distributed service-oriented architectures and information systems, EAM - Enterprise Architecture and Management, metamodeling, semantic echnologies, web services, cloud computing and Big Data technology. Our aim is to support flexibility and agile transformations for both business domains and related enterprise systems through adaptation and evolution of digital enterprise architectures. The present research paper investigates digital transformations of business and IT and integrates fundamental mappings between adaptable digital enterprise architectures and service-oriented information systems.
Digitization is the use of digital technologies for creating innovative digital business models and transforming existing business models, processes and systems. Digitization creates profound changes in the economy and society. Information is often captured and processed without human intervention using digital means. Digitization impacts nearly all products and services as well as the customer and the value-creation perspective.
Big Data und Cloud Systeme werden zunehmend von mobilen, benutzerzentrierten und agil veränderbaren Informationssystemen im Kontext von digitalen sozialen Netzwerken genutzt. Metaphern aus der Biologie für lebendige und selbstheilende Systeme und Umgebungen liefern die Basis für intelligente adaptive Informationssysteme und für zugehörige serviceorientierte digitale Unternehmensarchitekturen. Wir berichten über unsere Forschungsarbeiten über Strukturen und Mechanismen adaptiver digitaler Unternehmensarchitekturen für die Entwicklung und Evolution von serviceorientierten Ökosystemen und deren Technologien wie Big Data, Services & Cloud Computing, Web Services und Semantikunterstützung. Für unsere aktuellen Forschungsarbeiten nutzen wir praxisrelevante SmartLife Szenarien für die Entwicklung, Wartung und Evolution zukunftsgerechter serviceorientierter Informationssysteme. Diese Systeme nutzen eine stark wachsende Zahl externer und interner Services und fokussieren auf die Besonderheiten der Weiterentwicklung der Informationssysteme für integrierte Big Data und Cloud Kontexte. Unser Forschungsansatz beschäftigt sich mit der systematischen und ganzheitlichen Modellbildung adaptiver digitaler Unternehmensarchitekturen - gemäß standardisierter Referenzmodelle und auf Standards aufsetzenden Referenzarchitekturen, die für besondere Einsatzszenarien auch bei kleineren Anwendungskontexten oder an neue Kontexte einfacher adaptiert werden können. Um Semantik-gestützte Analysen zur Entscheidungsunterstützung von System- und Unternehmensarchitekten zu ermöglichen, erweitern wir unser bisheriges Referenzmodell für ITUnternehmensarchitekturen ESARC – Enterprise Services Architecture Reference Cube – um agile Mechanismen der Adaption und Konsistenzbehandlung sowie die zugehörigen Metamodelle und Ontologien für Digitale Enterprise Architekturen um neue Aspekte wie Big Data und Cloud Kontexte.
