In this thesis, a computer simulation model created in the early 1960s by Robert P. Abelson and Alex Bernstein is examined. The simulation described was built to reflect processes involved in formation of a public opinion within a population taking into account direct communication as well as communication mediated through mass media. After describing and thoroughly analyzing the available description of the simulation model this thesis produces the implementation of a running software simulation system implementing this model. The software is developed and described using common computer science procedures and finally examined for its properties during different tests.
Public electronic procurement (eProcurement), here electronic sourcing (eSourcing) in particular, is almost certainly on the agenda when eGovernment experts meet. Not surprisingly is eProcurement the first high-impact service to be addressed in the European Union- recent Action Plan. This is mainly dedicated to the fact that public procurement makes out almost 20% of Europe- GDP and therefore holds a huge saving potential. To some extent this potential lies in the common European market, since effective cross-boarder eSourcing solutions can open many doors, both for buyers and suppliers. To achieve this, systems and processes and tools, need to be adoptable, transferable as well as be able to communicate with each other. In one word, they need to be interoperable. In many relevant domains, interoperability has reached a very positive level, standards have been established, workflows been put in place. In other domains however, there is still a long road ahead. As a consequence it is crucial to define requirements for such interoperable eSourcing systems and to identify the progress in research and practice.
The internet is becoming more and more important in daily life. Fundamental changes can be observed in the private sector as well as in the public sector. In the course of this, active involvement of citizens in planning political procedures is more and more supported electronically. The expectations culminate in the assumption that information and communication technology (ICT) can enhance civic participation and reduce disenchantment with politics. Out of these expectations, a lot of eparticipation projects were initiated in Germany. Initiatives were established, e.g. the "Initiative eParticipation", which gave many incentives of electronic participation for policy and administration in order to strengthen decision-making processes with internet supported participation practices. This thesis consists of two major parts. In the first part, definitions of the essential terms are presented. The position of e-participation within the dimension of ebusiness is pointed out. In order to explain e-participation, basics of the classical offline participation are delivered. It will be shown that a change is in progress, not only because of the deployment of ICT. Subsequently, a framework to characterize eparticipation is presented. The European Union is encouraging the implementation of e-participation. So, the city of Koblenz should be no exception. But what is the current situation in Koblenz? To provide an answer to this question, the status quo was examined with the help of a survey among the citizens of Koblenz, which was developed, conducted and evaluated. This is the second major part of this thesis.
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.

Besides the progressive automation of internal goods traffic, there is an important area that should also be considered. This area is the carriage of goods in selected external areas. The use of driverless trucks in logistic centers can report economic efficiency. In particular, these precise control procedures require that trucks drive on predetermined paths. The general aim of this work is the adaption and evaluation of a path following control method for articulated vehicles. The differences in the kinematic behavior between trucks with one-axle trailer and semi-trailer vehicles will be emphasized. Additionally, the characteristic kinematic properties of semi-trailers for the adaptation of a control procedure will be considered. This control procedure was initially designed for trucks with one-axle trailer. It must work in forwards and backwards movements. This control process will be integrated as a closed component on the control software of the model vehicle. Thus, the geometry of the model vehicle will be specified, and the possible special cases of the control process will be discovered. The work also documents the most relevant software components of the implemented control process.
In dieser Masterarbeit wird der Frage nachgegangen, welche Konzepte des analytischen CRM Unternehmen brauchen und inwieweit sich diese von BI-Software realisieren lassen. Es soll dabei empirisch untersucht werden, welche Analyseinstrumente des analytischen CRM von Unternehmen benötigt werden und wie sie mit Techniken des Business Intelligences umgesetzt werden können. Zu der konzeptionellen Aufgabenstel-lung gehört die Entwicklung eines Konzeptes für die Realisierung von analytischem CRM mit Hilfe von Business Intelligence für die CRM-Software "GEDYS IntraWare 7".
Opinion Mining
(2010)
Das Opinion Mining stellt eine Methode dar, mit der Meinungen aus dem WWW gefiltert und intelligent aufbereitet werden können, um Stimmungsanalysen zu einzelnen Produkten und Dienstleistungen zu erstellen. Opionion Mining bietet den Unternehmen somit eine innovative Möglichkeit, ihre Marketingkommmunikation planbarer und wirkungsvoller zu gestalten und ein deutlich erhöhtes Maß an Involvement und Relevanz innerhalb bestimmter Zielgruppen zu erreichen. Zunächst werden die theoretischen Grundlagen des Web 2.0 und relevanter Methoden der Business Intelligence erläutert. Die empirische Untersuchung bildet den Schwerpunkt der Arbeit. Auf die Entwicklung eines Vorgehensmodells folgt die praktische Anwendung dieses Modells auf ein Produkt. Die Ergebnisse werden im Review-Scan im Hinblick auf Forschung und Praxis ausgewertet und diskutiert.
The development of a pan-European public E-Procurement system is an important target of the European Union to enhance the efficiency, transparency and competitiveness of public procurement procedures conducted within the European single market. A great obstacle for cross-border electronic procurement is the heterogeneity of national procurement systems in terms of technical, organizational and legal differences. To overcome this obstacle the European Commission funds several initiatives that contribute to the aim of achieving interoperability for pan-European public procurement. Pan European Public Procurement OnLine (PEPPOL) is one of these initiatives that aims at piloting an interoperable pan-European E-Procurement solution to support businesses and public purchasing entities from different member states to conduct their procurement processes electronically.rnrnAs interoperability and inter-connection of distributed heterogeneous information systems are the major requirements in the European procurement domain, and the VCD sub-domain in particular, service-oriented architecture (SOA) seems to provide a promising approach to realize such an architecture, as it promotes loose coupling and interoperability. This master thesis therefore discusses the SOA approach and how its concepts, methodologies and technologies can be used for the development of interoperable IT systems for electronic public procurement. This discussion is enhanced through a practical application of the discussed SOA methodologies by conceptualizing and prototyping of a sub-system derived from the overall system domain of the Virtual Company Dossier. For that purpose, important aspects of interoperability and related standards and technologies will be examined and put into the context of public electronic procurement. Furthermore, the paradigm behind SOA will be discussed, including the derivation of a top-down development methodology for service-oriented systems.
Mobile payment has been a payment option in the market for a long time now and was predicted to become a widely used payment method. However, over the years, the market penetration rate of mPayments has been relatively low, despite it having all characteristics required of a convenient payment method. The primaryrnreason for this has been cited as a lack of customer acceptance mainly caused due to the lack of perceived security by the end-user. Although biometric authentication is not a new technology, it is experiencing a revival in the light of the present day terror threats and increased security requirements in various industries. The application of biometric authentication in mPayments is analysed here and a suitable biometric authentication method for use with mPayments is recommended. The issue of enrolment, human and technical factors to be considered are discussed and the STOF business model is applied to a BiMoP (biometric mPayment) application.
