The Internet of Things is still one of the most relevant topics in the field of economics and research powered by the increasing demand of innovative services. Cost reductions in manufacturing of IoT hardware and the development of completely new communication ways has led to the point of bil-lions of devices connected to the internet. But in order to rule this new IoT landscape a standardized solution to conquer these challenges must be developed, the IoT Architecture.
This thesis examines the structure, purpose and requirements of IoT Architecture Models in the global IoT landscape and proposes an overview across the selected ones. For that purpose, a struc-tured literature analysis on this topic is conducted within this thesis, including an analysis on three existing research approaches trying to frame this topic and a tool supported evaluation of IoT Archi-tecture literature with over 200 accessed documents.
Furthermore, a coding of literature with the help of the specialised coding tool ATLAS.ti 8 is conduct-ed on 30 different IoT Architecture Models. In a final step these Architecture Models are categorized and compared to each other showing that the environment of IoT and its Architectures gets even more complex the further the research goes.
The development of a game engine is considered a non-trivial problem. [3] The architecture of such simulation software must be able to manage large amounts of simulation objects in real-time while dealing with “crosscutting concerns” [3,p. 36] between subsystems. The use of object oriented paradigms to model simulation objects in class hierarchies has been reported as incompatible with constantly changing demands during game development [2, p. 9], resulting in anti-patterns and eventual, messy refactoring.[13]
Alternative architectures using data oriented paradigms revolving around object composition and aggregation have been proposed as a result. [13, 9, 1, 11]
This thesis describes the development of such an architecture with the explicit goals to be simple, inherently compatible with data oriented design, and to make reasoning about performance characteristics possible. Concepts are formally defined to help analyze the problem and evaluate results. A functional implementation of the architecture is presented together with use cases common to simulation software.
Die Mitralklappe ist eine der vier Herzklappen des Menschen. Sie befindet sich in der linken Herzkammer und agiert als ein unidirektionales Ventil, welches den Blutfluss vom linken Atrium zum linken Ventrikel steuert. Eine funktionierende Mitralklappe verhindert den Rückfluss von Blut in den Lungenkreislauf, wodurch sie einen unverzichtbaren Anteil zu einem gesunden Herzkreislauf beiträgt. Pathologien der Mitralklappe können eine Reihe von Symptomen hervorrufen, welche in ihrer Schwere von Brustschmerzen und Ermüdung bis zum Lungenödem (dem Eindringen von Flüssigkeit in die Lunge) reichen können. Im schlimmsten Fall kann dieses zum Atemversagen führen.
Dysfunktionale Mitralklappen können mithilfe komplexer chirurgischer Eingriffe wiederhergestellt werden, welche in hohem Maße von intensiver Planung und präoperativer Analyse profitieren. Visualisierungstechniken eröffnen die Möglichkeit, solche Vorbereitungsprozesse zu unterstützen und können zudem einer postoperativen Evaluation dienlich sein. Die vorliegende Arbeit erweitert die Forschung in diesem Bereich. Sie stützt sich auf patientenspezifische Segmentierungen der Mitralklappe, wie sie am Deutschen Krebsforschungszentrum entwickelt werden. Solche Segmentierungen resultieren in 3D-Modellen der Mitralklappe. Der Kern dieser Arbeit wird sich mit der Konstruktion einer 2D-Ansicht dieser Modelle befassen. Die 2D-Visualisierung wird durch Methoden der globalen Parametrisierung erzeugt, welche es erlauben, bijektive Abbildungen zwischen einem planaren Parameterraum und Oberflächen in höheren Dimensionen zu erstellen.
Eine ebene Repräsentation der Mitralklappe ermöglicht Ärzten einen unmittelbaren Blick auf deren gesamte Oberfläche, analog zu einer Karte. Dies erlaubt die Begutachtung der Fläche und Form ohne die Notwendigkeit unterschiedlicher Blickwinkel. Teile der Klappe, die in der 3D-Ansicht von Geometrie verdeckt sind, werden in der 2D-Darstellung sichtbar.
Ein weiterer Beitrag dieser Arbeit ist die Untersuchung verschiedener Visualisierungen der 3D- und 2D-Mitralklappenrepräsentationen. Merkmale der Klappe können durch Assoziation mit spezifizierten Farbschemata hervorgehoben werden. So können zum Beispiel Pathologie-Indikatoren direkt vermittelt werden.
Qualität und Wirkungsgrad der vorgestellten Methoden wurden in einer Studie am Universitätsklinikum Heidelberg evaluiert.
This work describes a novel software tool for visualizing anatomical segmentations of medical images. It was developed as part of a bachelor's thesis project, with a view to supporting research into automatic anatomical brain image segmentation. The tool builds on a widely-used visualization approach for 3D image volumes, where sections in orthogonal directions are rendered on screen as 2D images. It implements novel display modes that solve common problems with conventional viewer programs. In particular, it features a double-contour display mode to aid the user's spatial orientation in the image, as well as modes for comparing two competing segmentation labels pertaining to one and the same anatomical region. The tool was developed as an extension to an existing open-source software suite for medical image processing. The visualization modes are, however, suitable for implementation in the context of other viewer programs that follow a similar rendering approach.

Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, ein Recommender System (RS) für Geschäftsprozesse zu erstellen, das auf dem bestehenden ProM-Plug-in RegPFA aufbaut. Um dies zu gewährleisten, soll zunächst eine Schnittstelle geschaffen werden, welche die von RegPFA erstellten probabilistischen endlichen Automaten (PFA) im tsml-Format zu einer erweiterbaren Datenbasis zusammenfassen kann. Anschließend soll ein Java-Programm geschrieben werden, das mithilfe dieser Datenbasis zu einem gegebenen Teilprozess die wahrscheinlichsten Empfehlungen für das nächstfolgende Prozesselement angibt.
Abstract
This bachelor thesis delivers a comprehensive overview of the topic Internet of Things (IoT). With the help of a first literature review, important characteristics, architectures, and properties have been identified. The main aim of this bachelor thesis is to determine whether the use of IoT in the transport of food, considering the compliance with the cold chain, can provide advantages for companies to reduce food waste. For this purpose, a second literature review has been carried out with food transport systems without the use, as well as with the use of IoT. Based on the literature review, it is possible at the end to determine a theoretical ‘ideal’ system for food transport in refrigerated trucks. The respective used technologies are also mentioned. The findings of several authors have shown that often significant improvements can be achieved in surveillance, transport in general, or traceability of food, and ultimately food waste can be reduced. However, benefits can also be gained using new non-IoT-based technologies. Thus, the main knowledge of this bachelor thesis is that a theoretical ‘ideal’ transport system contains a sensible combination of technologies with and without IoT. This system includes the use of a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) for real-time food monitoring, as well as an alarm function when the temperature exceeds a maximum. Real-time monitoring with GPS coupled with a monitoring center to prevent traffic jams is another task. Smart and energy-efficient packaging, and finally the use of the new supercooling-technology, make the system significantly more efficient in reducing food waste. These highlights, that when choosing a transport system, which is as efficient and profitable as possible for food with refrigerated transport, companies need not just rely on the use of IoT. On this basis, it is advisable to combine the systems and technologies used so far with IoT in order to avoid as much food waste as possible.
Over the past few decades society’s dependence on software systems has grown significantly. These systems are utilized in nearly every matter of life today and often handle sensitive, private data. This situation has turned software security analysis into an essential and widely researched topic in the field of computer science. Researchers in this field tend to make the assumption that the quality of the software systems' code directly affects the possibility for security gaps to arise in it. Because this assumption is based on properties of the code, proving it true would mean that security assessments can be performed on software, even before a certain version of it is released. A study based on this implication has already attempted to mathematically assess the existence of such a correlation, studying it based on quality and security metric calculations. The present study builds upon that study in finding an automatic method for choosing well-fitted software projects as a sample for this correlation analysis and extends the variety of projects considered for the it. In this thesis, the automatic generation of graphical representations both for the correlations between the metrics as well as for their evolution is also introduced. With these improvements, this thesis verifies the results of the previous study with a different and broader project input. It also focuses on analyzing the correlations between the quality and security metrics to real-world vulnerability data metrics. The data is extracted and evaluated from dedicated software vulnerability information sources and serves to represent the existence of proven security weaknesses in the studied software. The study discusses some of the difficulties that arise when trying to gather such information and link it to the difference in the information contained in the repositories of the studied projects. This thesis confirms the significant influence that quality metrics have on each other. It also shows that it is important to view them together as a whole and suppose that their correlation could influence the appearance of unwanted vulnerabilities as well. One of the important conclusions I can draw from this thesis is that the visualization of metric evolution graphs, helps the understanding of the values as well as their connection to each other in a more meaningful way. It allows for better grasp of their influence on each other as opposed to only studying their correlation values. This study confirms that studying metric correlations and evolution trends can help developers improve their projects and prevent them from becoming difficult to extend and maintain, increasing the potential for good quality as well as more secure software code.
Eine genaue Schneesimulation ist der Schlüssel zur Erfassung der charakteristischen Visualisierung von Schnee. Aufwendige Methoden existieren, die versuchen Schneeverhalten ganzheitlich zu ergreifen. Die Rechenkomplexität dieser Ansätze hindert sie daran, Echtzeitfähigkeit zu erreichen. Diese Arbeit stellt drei Methoden vor, die unter Verwendung der GPU eine echtzeitfähige Deformation einer Schneeoberoberfläche darstellen. Die Ansätze werden hinsichtlich ihrer wahrheitsgetreuen Schneedarstellung untersucht und nach ihrer Fähigkeit, mit einer zunehmenden Anzahl von schneeverformenden Objekten zu skalieren. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Methoden bei mehreren hunderten schneeverformenden Objekten ihre Echtzeitfähigkeit beibehalten. Jedoch benachteiligen die charakteristischen Einschränkungen jener Methoden die visuellen Resultate. Ein experimenteller Ansatz ist es, die Anzahl der schneeverformenden Objekte zu reduzieren und durch Zusammenfügen der Methoden ein genaueres, kombiniertes Verformungsmuster zu erzeugen.
