Modern software projects are composed of several software languages, software technologies and different kind of artifacts. Therefore, the understanding of the software project at hand, including the semantic links between the different parts, becomes a difficult challenge for a developer. One approach to attack this issue is to document the software project with the help of a linguistic architecture. This kind of architecture can be described with the help of the MegaL ontology. A remaining challenge is the creation of it since it requires different kind of skills. Therefore, this paper proposes an approach for the automatic extraction of a linguistic architecture. The open source framework Apache Jena, which is focusing on semantic web technologies like RDF and OWL, is used to define custom rules that are capable to infer new knowledge based on the defined or already extracted RDF triples. The complete approach is tested in a case study on ten different open source projects. The aim of the case study is to extract a linguistic architecture that is describing the use of Hibernate in the selected projects. In the end, the result is evaluated with the help of different metrics. The evaluation is performed with the help of an internal and external approach.
Motion capture refers to the process of capturing, processing and trans- lating real motions onto a 3D model. Not only in the movie and gaming industries, motion capture creates an indispensable realism of human and animal movement. Also in the context of robotics, medical movement therapy, as well as in AR and VR, motion capture is used extensively. In addition to the well established optical processes, especially in the last three areas, alternative systems based on inertial navigation (IMUs) are being used in-creasingly, because they do not rely on external cameras and thus limit the area of movement considerably less.
Fast evolving technical progress in the manufacturing of such IMUs allows building small sensors, wearable on the body which can transfer movements to a computer. The development of applying inertial systems to a motion capture context, however, is still at an early state. Problems like drift can currently only be minimized by adding additional hardware for correcting the read data.
In the following master thesis an IMU based motion capture system is designed and constructed. This contains the assembly of the hardware components as well as processing of the received movement data on the software side and their application to a 3D model.
The aim of this thesis was to develop and to evaluate a method, which enables the utilization of traditional dialog marketing tools through the web. For this purpose, a prototype of a website with "extended real-time interaction (eEI)" capabilities has been implemented and tested. The prototype was evaluated by a methodology based on the five-dimensional "e-service quality" measure after Gwo-Guang Lee und Hsiu-Fen Lin. The Foundation of the "e-service quality" measure is the SERVQUAL-Model. A statistical analysis of the user study results showed a significant correlation between eEI and user satisfaction. Before the actual realization of eEI, the "Technology Acceptance Model" after Fred D. Davis was used to investigate currently used real-time interaction systems.
Cicero ist eine asynchrone Diskussionsplattform, die im Rahmen der Arbeitsgruppe Informationssysteme und Semantic Web (ISWeb) der Universität Koblenz-Landau entwickelt wurde. Die webbasierte Anwendung folgt dem Gedanken eines semantischen Wikis und soll insbesondere beim Arbeitsablauf von Entwurfsprozessen eingesetzt werden. Dabei verwendet Cicero ein restriktives Argumentationsmodell, das einerseits strukturierte Diskussionen von schwierigen Prozessen fördert und andererseits den Entscheidungsfindungsprozess unterstützt. Im Zentrum der Arbeit steht die Evaluation von Cicero, wobei im vorhergehenden theoretischen Teil die Hintergründe und Funktionsweisen vorgestellt werden und im nachfolgenden praktischen Teil die Anwendung anhand einer Fallstudie evaluiert wird. Die Studie wurde im Rahmen der Übungsveranstaltung zu Grundlagen der Datenbanken der Universität Koblenz im Wintersemester 2008/2009 durchgeführt , und die Studenten hatten die Aufgabe, einen Entwurfsprozess mit Hilfe von Cicero zu diskutieren. Über die erhobenen Daten der Fallstudie wird ein Akzeptanztest durchgeführt. Hierbei wird überprüft, ob die Benutzer Cicero positiv annehmen und die Methodik richtig anwenden. Denn aufgrund des vorgegebenen Argumentationsmodells müssen die Benutzer ihr Kommunikationsverhalten ändern und ihren herkömmlichen Diskussionsstil der Anwendung anpassen. Ziel der Evaluation ist es, kritische Erfolgsfaktoren im Umgang mit Cicero ausfindig zu machen. Anhand der identifizierten Schwachstellen werden abschließend gezielte Maßnahmen vorgeschlagen, die die Akzeptanz der Benutzer gegenüber Cicero erhöhen könnten.
Problems in the analysis of requirements often lead to failures when developing software systems. This problem is nowadays being faced by requirements engineering. The early involvement of all kinds of stakeholders in the development of such a system and a structured process to elicitate and analyse requirements have made it a crucial factor as a first step in software development. The increasing complexity of modern softwaresystems though leads to a rising amount of information which has to be dealt with during analysis. Without the support of appropriate tools this would be almost impossible to do. Especially in bigger projects, which tend to be spatially distributed, an effective requirements engineering could not be implemented without this kind of support. Today there is a wide range of tools dealing with this matter. They have been in use since some time now and, in their most recent versions, realize the most important aspects of requirements engineering. Within the scope of this thesis some of these tools will be analysed, focussing on both the major functionalities concerning the management of requirements and the repository of these tools. The results of this analyis will be integrated into a reference model.
