In this paper we describe a series of projects on location based and personalised information systems. We start wit a basic research project and we show how we came with the help of two other more application oriented project to a product. This is developed by a consortium of enterprises and it already is in use in the city of Koblenz.
This paper offers an informal overview and discussion on first order predicate logic reasoning systems together with a description of applications which are carried out in the Artificial Intelligence Research Group of the University in Koblenz. Furthermore the technique of knowledge compilation is shortly introduced.
The term "Augmented Reality (AR)" denotes the superposition of additional virtual objects and supplementary information over real images. The joint project Enhanced Reality (ER)1 aims at a generic AR-system. The ER-project is a cooperation of six different research groups of the Department of Computer Science at the University of Koblenz-Landau. According to Ronald Azuma an AR-system combines real and virtual environments, where the real and virtual objects are registered in 3-D, and it provides interactivity in real time [Azu97]. Enhanced Reality extends Augmented Reality by requiring the virtual objects to be seamlessly embedded into the real world as photo-realistic objects according to the exact lighting conditions. Furthermore, additional information supplying value-added services may be displayed and interaction of the user may even be immersive. The short-term goal of the ER-project is the exploration of ER-fundamentals using some specific research scenarios; the long-term goal is the development of a component-based ER-framework for the creation of ER-applications for arbitrary application areas. ER-applications are developed as single-user applications for users who are moving in a real environment and are wearing some kind of visual output device like see-through glasses and some mobile end device. By these devices the user is able to see reality as it is, but he can also see the virtual objects and the additional information about some value-added service. Furthermore he might have additional devices whereby he can interact with the available virtual objects. The development of a generic framework for ER-applications requires the definition of generic components which are customizable and composable to build concrete applications and it requires a homogeneous data model which supports all components equally well. The workgroup "Software Technology"2 is responsible for this subproject. This report gives some preliminary results concerning the derivation of a component-based view of ER. There are several augmented reality frameworks like ARVIKA, AMIRE, DWARF, MORGAN, Studierstube and others which offer some support for the development of AR-applications. All of them ease the use of existing subsystems like AR-Toolkit, OpenGL and others and leverage the generation process for realistic systems by making efficient use of those subsystems. Consequently, they highly rely on them.
Semantic descriptions of non-textual media available on the web can be used to facilitate retrieval and presentation of media assets and documents containing them. While technologies for multimedia semantic descriptions already exist, there is as yet no formal description of a high quality multimedia ontology that is compatible with existing (semantic) web technologies. We explain the complexity of the problem using an annotation scenario. We then derive a number of requirements for specifying a formal multimedia ontology, including: compatibility with MPEG-7, embedding in foundational ontologies, and modularisation including separation of document structure from domain knowledge. We then present the developed ontology and discuss it with respect to our requirements.
Networked RDF graphs
(2007)
Networked graphs are defined in this paper as a small syntactic extension of named graphs in RDF. They allow for the definition of a graph by explicitly listing triples as well as by SPARQL queries on one or multiple other graphs. By this extension it becomes possible to define a graph including a view onto other graphs and to define the meaning of a set of graphs by the way they reference each other. The semantics of networked graphs is defined by their mapping into logic programs. The expressiveness and computational complexity of networked graphs, varying by the set of constraints imposed on the underlying SPARQL queries, is investigated. We demonstrate the capabilities of networked graphs by a simple use case.
SNMP in VNUML Simulationen
(2007)
Das Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) gilt als die Universalsprache des Netzwerkmanagements. Bereits Anfang der 90er Jahre wurde die erste Version von SNMP durch die Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) zum Standard-Internet Management Protocol erklärt und Teil der TCP/IP Protocol-Suite. Für die meisten Betriebssystemplattformen sind SNMP Implementierungen verfügbar und viele netzwerkfähige Geräte und Netzwerkmanagement-Programme unterstützen SNMP, das sich vor allem für die Verwaltung plattformübergreifender und herstellerunabhängiger Netzwerke bewährt. Virtual Network User Mode Linux (VNUML) ist ein mächtiges Netzwerk-Simulationsprogramm für Linux mit dem virtuelle Linux-Rechnernetze aufgebaut werden können, um darin Programmabläufe zu simulieren. Die VNUML Netzwerk-Simulationen sind in erster Linie für das Entwickeln, Analysieren und Testen von Linux Netzwerk-Software, wie zum Beispiel Netzwerk-Protokollen, geeignet. Das Simulationsprogramm entstand im Rahmen des Euro6IX-Projektes, zur Einführung des IPv6 Standards in Europa, am Telematics Engineering Department der Technischen Universität Madrid. Die Rechner der virtuellen Netze, die VNUML aufbaut, basieren auf User Mode Linux (UML), einer in breitem Spektrum eingesetzten Virtualisierung des Linux-Kernels. Diese Studienarbeit beschäftigt sich mit den Möglichkeiten und der Funktionsweise des Netzwerkmanagements mit SNMP. Dafür wird die SNMP-Software Net-SNMP in VNUML Simulationen eingesetzt, um die Möglichkeiten der Konfiguration und des Umgangs mit SNMP in einer praxisnahen Umgebung zu untersuchen. Der Einsatz von Net-SNMP in VNUML Simulationen kann dazu dienen, die Integration von Netzwerkmanagement mit SNMP für relevante Rechnernetze vorzubereiten und Möglichkeiten der Konfiguration und der Verwendung auszuloten oder VNUML Simulationen im Allgemeinen mit diesem bewährten Netzwerkmanagement-System zur Unterstützung auszustatten.
Diese Studienarbeit soll eine Einführung in die Arbeit mit virtual network user mode linux (VNUML) geben. Mit Hilfe dieser Arbeit möchte ich speziell die Version VNUML 1.6 näher bringen und die wesentlichen Unterschiede, Vor- und Nachteile zur Version 1.5 zeigen. In den nächsten zwei Kapiteln wird auf das Thema VNUML und UML oberflächlich eingegangen. Das darauffolgende Kapitel befasst sich mit der Installation von VNUML 1.6, der Vorraussetzung und den möglichen Fehlermeldungen. Wenn dies abgeschlossen ist, wird VNUML 1.6 mit eigenen Beispielen ausfürlich, praktisch und theoretisch vorgestellt. Danach werden die wesentlichen Unterschiede von VNUML 1.5 zu VNUML 1.6 beschrieben. Zum Abschluss sind noch ein Kapitel mit kurzen Begriffsdefinitionen und der Anhang mit allen XML-Dateien zu finden. Auf den Aufbau einer XML-Datei möchte ich in meiner Arbeit nicht weiter eingehen. Dazu verweise ich auf die Arbeit von Thomas Chmielowiec und Tim Keupen. In diesen Arbeiten sind die XML-Syntax und Semantik ausfürlich beschrieben.
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.
