Development of a technology of designing intelligent information systems for the estimation of social objects (2011)
Zenkova, Natalia ; Arzamastsev, Alexander A. ; Troitzsch, Klaus G.
The estimation of various social objects is necessary in different fields of social life, science, education, etc. This estimation is usually used for forecasting, for evaluating of different properties and for other goals in complex man-machine systems. At present this estimation is possible by means of computer and mathematical simulation methods which is connected with significant difficulties, such as: - time-distributed process of receiving information about the object; - determination of a corresponding mathematical device and structure identification of the mathematical model; - approximation of the mathematical model to real data, generalization and parametric identification of the mathematical model; - identification of the structure of the links of the real social object. The solution of these problems is impossible without a special intellectual information system which combines different processes and allows predicting the behaviour of such an object. However, most existing information systems lead to the solution of only one special problem. From this point of view the development of a more general technology of designing such systems is very important. The technology of intellectual information system development for estimation and forecasting the professional ability of respondents in the sphere of education can be a concrete example of such a technology. Job orientation is necessary and topical in present economic conditions. It helps tornsolve the problem of expediency of investments to a certain sphere of education. Scientifically validated combined diagnostic methods of job orientation are necessary to carry out professional selection in higher education establishments. The requirements of a modern society are growing, with the earlier developed techniques being unable to correspond to them sufficiently. All these techniques lack an opportunity to account all necessary professional and personal characteristics. Therefore, it is necessary to use a system of various tests. Thus, the development of new methods of job orientation for entrants is necessary. The information model of the process of job orientation is necessary for this purpose. Therefore, it would be desirable to have an information system capable of giving recommendations concerning the choice of a trade on the basis of complex personal characteristics of entrants.
Discourse awareness in e-discourses (2006)
Wolff, Viviane
In the last years the e-government concentrated on the administrative aspects of administrative modernisation. In the next step the e-discourses will gain in importance as an instrument of the public-friendliness and means of the e-democracy/e-participation. With growing acceptance of such e-discourses, these will fastly reach a complexity, which could not be mastered no more by the participants. Many impressions, which could be won from presence discussions, will be lacking now. Therefore the exposed thesis has the objective of the conception and the prototypical implementation of an instrument (discourse meter), by which the participants, in particular the moderators of the e-discourse, are capable to overlook the e-discourse at any time and by means of it, attain their discourse awareness. Discourse awareness of the present informs about the current action in the e-discourse and discourse awareness of the past about the past action, by which any trends become visible. The focus of the discourse awareness is located in the quantitative view of the action in the e-discourse. From the model of e-discourse, which is developed in this thesis, the questions of discourse awareness are resulting, whose concretion is the basis for the implementation of the discourse meter. The discourse sensors attached to the model of the e-discourse are recording the actions of the e-discourse, showing events of discourse, which are represented by the discourse meter in various forms of visualizations. The concept of discourse meter offers the possibility of discourse awareness relating to the present as monitoring and the discourse awareness relating to the past as query (quantitative analysis) to the moderators of the e-discourse.
A Comparison of IoT Architecture Models (2019)
Winzen, Michael
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.
Remote Working Study 2022 (2022)
Williams, Susan P. ; Grams, Söhnke
The Remote Working Study 2022 is focused on the transition to work from home (WFH) triggered by the stay at home directives of 2020. These directives required employees to work in their private premises wherever possible to reduce the transmission of the coronavirus. The study, conducted by the Center for Enterprise Information Research (CEIR) at the University of Koblenz from December 2021 to January 2022, explores the transition to remote working. The objective of the survey is to collect baseline information about organisations’ remote work experiences during and immediately following the COVID-19 lockdowns.

Sample implementation of internet of things in small and medium enterprises (2018)
Willems, Thomas
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a concept in which connected physical objects are integrated into the virtual world to become active partakers of businesses and everyday processes (Uckelmann, Harrison and Michahelles, 2011; Shrouf, Ordieres and Miragliotta, 2014). It is expected to have a major impact on businesses (Council, Nic and Intelligence, 2008), but small and medium enterprises’ business models are threatened if they do not adopt the new concept (Sommer, 2015). Thus, this thesis aims to showcase a sample implementation of connected devices in a small enterprise, demonstrating its added benefits for the business. Design Science Research (DSR) is used to develop a prototype based on a use case provided by a carpentry. The prototype comprises a hardware sensor and a web application which can be used by the wood shop to improve their processes. The thesis documents the iterative process of developing a prototype from the grounds up to useable hard- and software. This contribution provides an example of how IoT can be used and implemented at a small business.

Policy-based Internet regulation for router (2014)
Weißenfels, Rainer
This diploma thesis describes the concept and implementation of a software router for policy-based Internet regulation. It is based on the ontology InFO described by Kasten and Scherp. InFO is destined for a system-independent description of regulation mechanisms. Additionally, InFO enables a transparent regulation by linking background information to the regulation mechanisms. The InFO extension RFCO extends the ontology with router-specific entities. A software router is developed to implement RFCO at the IP level. The regulation is designed to be transparent by letting the router inform affected users about the regulation measures. The router implementation is exemplarily tested in a virtual network environment.
Verwaltung von ODRL-Lizenzen im Toolkit für URM (2011)
Weißenfels, Rainer
Seit Beginn des World Wide Web hat sich die Erzeugung und Verteilung digitaler Güter (digital assets) entschieden verändert. Zur Erzeugung, Bearbeitung, Verteilung und Konsumierung bedarf es heute nicht mehr spezieller physischer Gerätschaften. Dadurch hat sich die Geschwindigkeit, in der Medien generiert und transportiert werden, enorm gesteigert. Auch die Möglichkeiten der Kooperation waren dadurch einem Wandel unterlegen bzw. wurden mancherorts erst möglich gemacht. Die Nutzung des Internets ermöglichte zwar die Loslösung digitaler Güter von ihren physischen Trägermedien, die Bestimmungen des Urheberrechts gelten jedoch weiterhin. Dies führt gerade bei juristisch weniger erfahrenen Nutzern zu Unsicherheit darüber, wie ein konkretes digitales Gut genutzt werden darf. Andererseits wird von vielen Nutzern das gewohnte Tauschen von Medien auch auf das digitale Umfeld übertragen. Die Urheberrechtsverletzungen, die zuvor im privaten Umfeld im kleinen Rahmen stattfanden, geschehen nun global und für alle sichtbar. Da diese Form des Tausches das primäre Geschäftsmodell der Verwerter gefährdet, wird versucht, die Nutzung digitaler Güter einzuschränken bzw. für nicht berechtigte Nutzer zu unterbinden. Dies geschah und geschieht unter anderem mit Verfahren der digitalen Rechte-Verwaltung (Digital Rights Management - DRM). Diese Verfahren sind unter Nutzern bisweilen umstritten oder werden sogar offen abgelehnt, da sie die Nutzung digitaler Güter im Vergleich zum physischen Pendant erschweren können. Zudem erwiesen sich viele dieser Verfahren als nicht sicher, so dass die verwendeten Verschlüsselungsverfahren gebrochen wurden. Mit einer "Nutzungsrechte-Verwaltung" (Usage Rights Management - URM) soll DRM im Kernprinzip zwar erhalten bleiben. Die praktische Umsetzung soll aber in eine andere Richtung vorstoßen. Der Nutzer bekommt die volle Kontrolle über die digitalen Güter (ohne die restriktiven Maßnahmen klassischer DRM-Umsetzungen), aber auch wieder die volle Verantwortung. Unterstützt wird er dabei von Software, die ihn über die rechtlichen Möglichkeiten informiert und auf Wunsch des Nutzers auch software-technische Schranken in der Benutzung setzt, ähnlich der Rechtedurchsetzung (Enforcement) bei klassischen DRM-Systemen. URM nutzt dabei die offene Rechtedefinitionssprache ODRL. Die vorliegende Studienarbeit ist Teil des URM-Projektes der Forschungsgruppe IT-Risk-Management, welches wiederum Teil des SOAVIWA-Projektes ist. Ziel der Studienarbeit ist es, eine Java-Klasse zu entwickeln, mit der in ODRL verfasste Lizenzen als Java-Objekte abgebildet werden. Weitere zu entwickelnde Komponenten sollen diese Objekte verwalten und das Modifizieren und Erzeugen neuer Objekte zulassen. Alle Komponenten sollen Bestandteil des bereits anfänglich implementierten Toolkit für URM (TURM) sein.
Recommender Systems for Process Modeling Tools – A Literature Review (2019)
Weiskopf, Tim
To construct a business process model manually is a highly complex and error-prone task which takes a lot of time and deep insights into the organizational structure, its operations and business rules. To improve the output of business analysts dealing with this process, different techniques have been introduced by researchers to support them during construction with helpful recommendations. These supporting recommendation systems vary in their way of what to recommend in the first place as well as their calculations taking place under the hood to recommend the most fitting element to the user. After a broad introduction into the field of business process modeling and its basic recommendation structures, this work will take a closer look at diverse proposals and descriptions published in current literature regarding implementation strategies to effectively and efficiently assist modelers during their business process model creation. A critical analysis of presentations in the selected literature will point out strengths and weaknesses of their approaches, studies and descriptions of those. As a result, the final concept matrix in this work will give a precise and helpful overview about the key features and recommendation methods used and implemented in previous research studies to pinpoint an entry into future works without the downsides already spotted by fellow researchers.

Bürgernähe durch die Analyse sozialer Netzwerke? (2014)
Wandhöfer, Timo
German politicians have identified a need for greater citizen involvement in decision-making than in the past, as confirmed by a recent German parliamentarians study ("DEUPAS"). As in other forms of social interactions, the Internet provides significant potential to serve as the digital interface between citizens and decision-makers: in the recent past, dedicated electronic participation ("e-participation") platforms (e.g. dedicated websites) have been provided by politicians and governments in an attempt to gather citizens" feedback and comment on a particular issue or subject. Some of these have been successful, but a large proportion of them are grossly under-used " often only small numbers of citizens use them. Over the same time period, enthusiasm of Society for social networks has increased and is now commonplace. Many citizens use social networks such as Facebook and Twitter for all kinds of purposes, and in some cases to discuss political issues. Social networks are therefore obviously attractive to politicians " from local government to federal agencies, politicians have integrated social media into their daily work. However, there is a significant challenge regarding the usefulness of social networks. The problem is the continuous increase in digital information: social networks contain vast amounts of information, and it is impossible for a human to manually filter the relevant information from the irrelevant (so-called "information overload"). Even using the search tools provided by social networks, it is still a huge task for a human to determine meanings and themes from the multitude of search results. New technologies and concepts have been proposed to provide summaries of masses of information through lexical analysis of social media messages, and therefore they promise an easy and quick overview of the information. This thesis examines the relevance of these analyses" results, for the use in everyday political life, with the emphasis on the social networks Facebook and Twitter as data sources. Here we make use of the WeGov Toolbox and its analysis components that were developed during the EU project WeGov. The assessment has been performed in consultation with actual policy-makers from different levels of German government: policy-makers from the German Federal Parliament, the State Parliament North Rhine-Westphalia, the State Chancellery of the Saarland and the cities of Cologne and Kempten all took part in the study. Our method was to execute the analyses on data collected from Facebook and Twitter, and present the results to the policy-makers, who would then evaluate them using a mixture of qualitative methods. The responses of the participants have provided us with some useful conclusions: 1) None of the participants believe that e-participation is possible in this way. But participants confirm that "citizen-friendliness" can be supported by this approach. 2) The most likely users for the summarisation tools are those who have experience with social networks, but are not "power users". The reason being is that "power users" already knew the relevant information provided by analysis tools. But without any experiences for social networks it is hard to interpret the analysis results the right way. 3) The evaluation has considered geographical aspects, and related this to e.g. a politician- constituency as a local area of social networks. Comparing the rural to the urban areas, it is shown that the amount of relevant political information in the rural areas is low. While the proportion of publicly available information in urban areas is relatively high, the proportion in the rural areas is much lower. The findings that result from the engagement with policy-makers will be systematically surveyed and validated within this thesis.
Retrospektive Analyse der Ausbreitung und dynamische Erkennung von Web-Tracking durch Sandboxing (2018)
Wambach, Tim
Aktuelle quantitative Analysen von Web-Tracking bieten keinen umfassenden Überblick über dessen Entstehung, Ausbreitung und Entwicklung. Diese Arbeit ermöglicht durch Auswertung archivierter Webseiten eine rückblickende Erfassung der Entstehungsgeschichte des Web-Trackings zwischen den Jahren 2000 und 2015. Zu diesem Zweck wurde ein geeignetes Werkzeug entworfen, implementiert, evaluiert und zur Analyse von 10000 Webseiten eingesetzt. Während im Jahr 2005 durchschnittlich 1,17 Ressourcen von Drittparteien eingebettet wurden, zeigt sich ein Anstieg auf 6,61 in den darauffolgenden 10 Jahren. Netzwerkdiagramme visualisieren den Trend zu einer monopolisierten Netzstruktur, in der bereits ein einzelnes Unternehmen 80 % der Internetnutzung überwachen kann. Trotz vielfältiger Versuche, dieser Entwicklung durch technische Maßnahmen entgegenzuwirken, erweisen sich nur wenige Selbst- und Systemschutzmaßnahmen als wirkungsvoll. Diese gehen häufig mit einem Verlust der Funktionsfähigkeit einer Webseite oder mit einer Einschränkung der Nutzbarkeit des Browsers einher. Mit der vorgestellten Studie wird belegt, dass rechtliche Vorschriften ebenfalls keinen hinreichenden Schutz bieten. An Webauftritten von Bildungseinrichtungen werden Mängel bei Erfüllung der datenschutzrechtlichen Pflichten festgestellt. Diese zeigen sich durch fehlende, fehlerhafte oder unvollständige Datenschutzerklärungen, deren Bereitstellung zu den Informationspflichten eines Diensteanbieters gehören. Die alleinige Berücksichtigung klassischer Tracker ist nicht ausreichend, wie mit einer weiteren Studie nachgewiesen wird. Durch die offene Bereitstellung funktionaler Webseitenbestandteile kann ein Tracking-Unternehmen die Abdeckung von 38 % auf 61 % erhöhen. Diese Situation wird durch Messungen von Webseiten aus dem Gesundheitswesen belegt und aus technischer sowie rechtlicher Perspektive bewertet. Bestehende systemische Werkzeuge zum Erfassen von Web-Tracking verwenden für ihre Messung die Schnittstellen der Browser. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird mit DisTrack ein Framework zur Web-Tracking-Analyse vorgestellt, welches eine Sandbox-basierte Messmethodik verfolgt. Dies ist eine Vorgehensweise, die in der dynamischen Schadsoftwareanalyse erfolgreich eingesetzt wird und sich auf das Erkennen von Seiteneffekten auf das umliegende System spezialisiert. Durch diese Verhaltensanalyse, die unabhängig von den Schnittstellen des Browsers operiert, wird eine ganzheitliche Untersuchung des Browsers ermöglicht. Auf diese Weise können systemische Schwachstellen im Browser aufgezeigt werden, die für speicherbasierte Web-Tracking-Verfahren nutzbar sind.
eParticipation Virtual Resource Centre (2008)
Ventzke, Stefan ; Neuroth, Christoph
The thesis "E-Partizipation Virtual Ressourcen Portal" describes the conception and implementation of the Virtual Resource Centre (VRC), an international resource and knowledge portal for multidisciplinary research and application areas in the domain of eParticipation. The need for such a portal was developed in the context of the European DEMO_net project, the eParticipation network of excellence. The aim of this portal is to improve the spreading of the actual knowledge of the connected researchers and practitioner in the domain of eParticipation. For this, the collaboration and discussion with each other in different distributed projects will be improved and the results of the works will be published and saved. A well structured and an easy to handle portal is necessary therefore, as many connected institutions are not familiar with technological businesses. Further aims of the VRC are avoiding redundant developments to report excellent research facilities for the different subjects and to dynamically list the running projects in selectable categories. The technical base for the portal is a web content management system (WCMS), provided with many increments. To detect a suitable WCMS, the systems Plone, TYPO3 and Xoops are compared by a value benefit analyses. The special requirements for the VCR are fulfilled by the development and integration of increments, which include and provide the administration of publications, the overview of projects and research areas, etc. using an actual Web 2.0 functionality. This thesis is based on two different research methods, where the basic method design research is. Design research describes a compendium of how a portal can be modeled and realized in five phases. Another used method is the hypertext design model, which is used to build a model of the VRC. In the description of the implementation the changes in the WCMS, the user administration and the access control are explained as a guideline. In the conclusion of the thesis, an overview over the challenges and a recommendation for further developments and potential work is shown.
Smart Building Solutions - Generischer Ansatz für die Identifikation von Raumsteuerungsfunktionen (2018)
Uhlmann, Peer
40 percent of current housing and real estate companies plan to integrate intelligent control systems into their properties during new construction and modernization. At the same time, Internet companies are pushing their devices into homes and apartments, promising intelligent services for their users. The term "Smart Home" is used for both types of new technologies. The first group of systems has its origins in the field of "Building Automation", the second group developed from the concept of the "Internet of Things". In order to discover what the differences are and what common foundations exist, both the areas of Building Automation and Internet of Things are analyzed and compared. The central contribution of this thesis is the realization that both domains are based on similar concepts and an integration is possible, without compromising the integrity of the systems themselves. In addition, the work provides an approach to designing Building Automation Systems with the integration of the Internet of Things.

System Dynamics - Betriebswirtschaftliche Anwendungsgebiete (2008)
Tohum, Mehmet Hadi
Betriebswirtschaftliche Trends wie der Wandel auf Käufermärkten, verkürzte Produktlebens- und Innovationszyklen, steigende Kundenanforderungen und immer leistungsfähiger werdende Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien stellen für Unternehmen anspruchsvolle Herausforderungen dar. "Bis Anfang der 90er Jahre dominierten lokale Optimierungsbemühungen im Rahmen einer auf funktionale Spezialisierung ausgerichteten Aufbauorganisation entsprechend den Überlegungen zu Arbeitsteilung von beispielsweise Smith, Taylor und Ford. Aufgrund der vielfältigen Probleme dieses Ansatzes - insbesondere Schnittstellenbildung, demotivierte Mitarbeiter, mangelnde Kundenorientierung und erhöhter Aufwand zur Steuerung und Koordination der funktionalen Einheiten - vollzieht sich seit Beginn der 90er Jahre in den Wirtschaftswissenschaften und der unternehmerischen Praxis ein Paradigmenwechsel weg von der Funktions- hin zur Prozessorientierung." Die anspruchsvollen Probleme können aufgrund ihrer Kompliziertheit nicht mehr durch einfache, lokal anwendbare Maßnahmen gelöst werden. In Zeiten hoher Komplexität und Dynamik werden strategische Planungsaufgaben immer wichtiger für ein langfristig erfolgreiches Management. Entscheidungen mit großer Tragweite müssen im Vorfeld vollständig auf ihre kurz-und langfristigen Auswirkungen innerhalb und außerhalb des Unternehmens überprüft werden. Dabei sind die zeitverzögerten Rückkopplungen besonders wichtig. Es kann vorkommen, dass sich eine kurzfristig erfolgreiche Maßnahme zur Ergebnisverbesserung möglicherweise langfristig extrem negativ auf das Ergebnis auswirkt. System Dynamics, eine Methode zur Untersuchung komplexer, dynamischer Systeme, bietet die Möglichkeit, aus einer Analyse der Systemstruktur und des von ihr verursachten Verhaltens langfristig wirksame Entscheidungsregeln abzuleiten. Dabei werden Unternehmen als offene, äußerst vernetzte soziotechnische Systeme verstanden. System Dynamics, ursprünglich "Industrial Dynamics" genannt, wurde in den 50ern am MasMassachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT, entwickelt. Die Methode nimmt die Komplexität, Nichtlinearität und Rückkopplungsstrukturen, die sozialen und physikalischen Systemen enthalten, als Grundlage. Sie wird inzwischen an einer zunehmenden Zahl von Universitäten gelehrt. Unternehmen und Regierungen nutzen System Dynamics zur Simulation von Management- bzw. Politikentscheidungen. Mit der Hilfe der Methode wird es möglich, komplexe Systeme zu durchschauen, was für Entscheidungsträger eine zunehmende Herausforderung darstellt. Die "System Dynamics Society" ist bemüht, systematisches Denken einer breiten Masse von Anwendern zugänglich zu machen. Die Methode könnte die Menschen dabei unterstützen, die aktuellen Probleme und die langfristigen Auswirkungen des aktuellen Handelns zu verstehen. Die Intention dieser Arbeit ist es nun, zwei betriebswirtschaftliche Anwendungsgebiete der System Dynamics Modellierung mit jeweils einem konkreten Fallbeispiel vorzustellen. Dazu werden zunächst in Kapitel 2 die Grundlagen der Systemtheorie dargestellt. Dabei wird auf die Sichtweise von Forrester fokussiert. Darauf aufbauend wird in Kapitel 3 die die Methode detailliert vorgestellt. Nachdem die historische Entwicklung von System Dynamics aufgezeigt wird, werden die Anwendungsgebiete, die Grundlagen und die Grundsäulen der Modellierung und der Modellierungsprozess dargelegt. Im vierten Kapitel wird das erste Anwendungsgebiet untersucht, in der die System Dynamics Modellierung eingesetzt wird, die Balanced Scorecard, ein populäres Konzept für die Performancemessung in Unternehmen. Nachdem das Konzept vorgestellt wird, werden dessen Grenzen aufgezeigt, die mit der Verknüpfung des System Dynamics Ansatz überwunden werden können. Daraufhin werden die Möglichkeiten der System Dynamics Modellierung erläutert, womit die Schwächen der Balanced Scorecard reduziert werden, bevor anhand eines konkreten Fallbeispiels die Verknüpfung des System Dynamics Modellierung mit dem Balanced Scorecard Konzept vorgestellt wird. Eine abschließende Bewertung über die Anwendung wird dieses Kapitel abschließen. Im nächsten Kapitel wird die Anwendung der System Dynmaics Modellierung im Supply Chain Management untersucht. Zunächst werden die Grundlagen über das Supply Chain Management und Probleme, die damit verbunden sind, erläutert. Anhand des "Beer Game" werden die typischen Koordinationsprobleme mehrstufiger Lieferketten, der Bullwhip Effekt, verdeutlicht. Im nächsten Schritt wird die Anwendung der System Dynamics Modellierung im Supply Chain Management diskutiert, bevor die Umsetzung in einem konkreten Fallbeispiel aufgezeigt wird. Dieses Kapitel schließt mit einer Bewertung über die Anwendung von System Dynamics im Supply Chain Management ab. Mit dem abschließenden Kapitel Fazit wird die Arbeit abgerundet.
Vinio – an open service infrastructure approach to IoT monitoring of vineyard wellness (2018)
Thom, Philipp Julian
This thesis connects the endeavors of the winemaker’s intention in perfect and profitable wine making with an innovative technological application to use Internet of Things. Thereby the winemaker’s work may be supported and enriched – and enables until recent years still unthinkable optimization of managing and planning of his business, including close state control of different areas of his vineyard, and more than that, not ending up with the single grapevine. It is exemplarily shown in this thesis how to measure, transmit, store and make data available, exemplarily demonstrated with “live” temperature, air and soil humidity values from the vineyard. A modular architecture was designed for the system presented, which allows the use of current sensors, and similar low-voltage sensors, which will be developed in the future. By using IoT devices in the vineyard, the winemaker advances to a new quality of precision of forecasted data, starting from live data of his vineyard. Of more and more importance, the winemaker can start immediate action, when unforeseen heavy weather conditions occur. Immediate use of current data enabled by a Cloud Infrastructure. For this system, an open service infrastructure is employed. In contrast to other published commercial approaches, the described solution is based on open source. As an alone-standing part of this work, a physical prototype for measuring relevant parameters in the vineyard was de-novo designed and developed until fulfilling the set of specifications. The outlined features and requirements for a functioning data collection and autonomously transmitting device was developed, described, and the fulfilment by the prototype device were demonstrated. Through literature research and supportive orientationally live interviews of winemakers, the theory and the practical application were synchronized and qualified. For the development of the prototype the general principles of development of an electronic device were followed, in particular the Design Science Research development rules, and principles of Quality Function Deployment. As a characteristic of the prototype, some principles like re-use of approved construction and material price of the building blocks of the device were taken into consideration as well (e.g. housing; Arduino; PCB). Parts reduction principles, decomplexation and simplified assembly, testing and field service were integrated to the development process by the modular design of the functional vineyard device components, e.g. with partial reference to innovative electrical cabinet construction system Modular-3. The software architectural concept is based on a three-layer architecture inclusive the TTN infrastructure. The front end is realized as a rich web client, using a WordPress plugin. WordPress was chosen due to the wide adoption through the whole internet, enabling fast and easy user familiarization. Relevant quality issues have been tested and discussed in the view of exemplary functionality, extensibility, requirements fulfilment, as usability and durability of the device and the software. The prototype was characterized and tested with success in the laboratory and in field exposition under different conditions, in order to allow a measurement and analysis of the fulfilment of all requirements by the selected and realized electronic construction and layout. The solution presented may serve as a basis for future development and application in this special showcase and within similar technologies. A prognosis of future work and applications concludes this work.

Der Zusammenhang von Fertilität und soziokulturellen Einflussfaktoren im Spiegel amtlicher und nichtamtlicher Haushaltsbefragungen.Eine Differenzanalyse zur Fertilitätsentwicklung auf Basis des Mikrozensus und des Sozio-ökonomischen Panels (SOEP) (2010)
Sudermann, Helene
Abstract It is not easy to compare one statistic with another, and it is even more difficult if the analysis is based on two surveys that do not share the same issue, have different survey methods, and especially if the sample size of the surveys differ greatly. This paper will use a comparison of official and unofficial statistics, the micro-census and the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP) to confirm this point. An auxiliary structure for study of fertility behavior of women in Germany is conducted first with the micro-census and then with SOEP data. By that the transferability of a study model of the micro-census to the SOEP is examined. The SOEP provides the possibility to check the validity of the auxiliary structure which gives just an estimation of the current situation regarding the childlessness in Germany. The study model will be run for a second time with the SOEP data, however, this time not with the estimated number of mothers, but with the number actually recorded by the SOEP. Thus the quality of the estimation results can be checked.
Entwicklung eines Social Collaboration Analytics Dashboard-Prototyps für Beiträge von UniConnect (2018)
Strüder, Stefan Hermann
Seit der vergangenen Dekade steigt die Nutzung von sogenannten Enterprise Collaboration Systems (ECS) in Unternehmen. Diese versprechen sich mit der Einführung eines solchen zur Gattung der Social Software gehörenden Kollaborationssystems, die menschliche Kommunikation und Kooperation der eigenen Mitarbeiter zu verbessern. Durch die Integration von Funktionen, wie sie aus Social Media bekannt sind, entstehen große Mengen an Daten. Darunter befinden sich zu einem erheblichen Teil textuelle Daten, die beispielsweise mit Funktionen wie Blogs, Foren, Statusaktualisierungen oder Wikis erstellt wurden. Diese in unstrukturierter Form vorliegenden Daten bieten ein großes Potenzial zur Analyse und Auswertung mittels Methoden des Text Mining. Die Forschung belegt dazu jedoch, dass Umsetzungen dieser Art momentan nicht gebräuchlich sind. Aus diesem Grund widmet sich die vorliegende Arbeit diesem Mangel. Ziel ist die Erstellung eines Dashboard-Prototyps, der sich im Rahmen von Social Collaboration Analytics (SCA) mit der Auswertung von textuellen Daten befasst. Analyseziel ist die Identifikation von populären Themen, die innerhalb von Communities oder communityübergreifend von den Plattformnutzern in den von ihnen erstellten Beiträgen aufgegriffen werden. Als Datenquelle wurde das auf IBM Connections aufbauende ECS UniConnect ausgewählt. Dieses wird vom University Competence Center for Collaboration Technologies (UCT) an der Universität Koblenz-Landau betrieben. Grundlegend für die korrekte Funktionsweise des Dashboards sind mehrere Java-Klassen, deren Umsetzungen auf verschiedenen Methoden des Text Mining basieren. Vermittelt werden die Analyseergebnisse im Dashboard durch verschiedene Diagrammarten, Wordclouds und Tabellen.
Entwicklung einer Architektur für komplexe kontextbezogene Dienste im mobilen Umfeld (2008)
Stein, Stefan
Dieser Arbeitsbericht behandelt die Entwicklung einer Architektur für komplexe kontextbezogene Dienste im mobilen Umfeld. Der folgende Arbeitsbericht beschreibt die grundlegende Problemstellung und einen theoretischen Lösungsansatz, der im weiteren Forschungsprozess konkretisiert, prototypisch implementiert und evaluiert wird. Durch die gestiegene Mobilität vieler Menschen besteht ein stetig steigender Bedarf an mobilen Kommunikations- und Informationsdiensten. Im mobilen Umfeld werden die meisten Mehrwertdienste zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt von den Mobilfunkprovidern angeboten. Es handelt sich primär um Dienste für den Massenmarkt, die keine nennenswerte Personalisierung zulassen. Aufgrund der funktionell einfachen Dienste und des damit verbundenen niedrigen Komforts sowie der durch die Nutzung entstehenden Kosten werden derartige Dienste nur in begrenztem Maße vom Massenmarkt angenommen. Dazu besteht keine Möglichkeit, kostengünstig kontextbezogene Dienste für spezielle Personengruppen anzubieten, da das Dienstangebot vom jeweiligen Mobilfunkprovider festgelegt wird. Diese Arbeit betrachtet nicht nur die heutigen Hemmnisse, sondern auch die Anforderungen, die einer Akzeptanz besonders von komplexen kontextbezogenen Diensten noch im Wege stehen. Ziel ist es, eine Architektur bereitzustellen, die zukünftig personalisierte Dienste ermöglichen soll. Durch die Verwendung von sensiblen Kontextinformationen bei der Diensterbringung muss bei der Konzeption dieser Architektur der Schutz der Privatsphäre als ein wichtiger Punkt betrachtet werden. Basierend auf diesen ermittelten Anforderungen schlägt diese Arbeit eine Architektur vor, die es ermöglicht, kontextbezogene Dienste geräte und providerunabhängig in einem wirtschaftlichen Umfeld, unter Berücksichtigung des Schutzes der Privatsphäre des Benutzers, anzubieten.
Entwicklung eines Telemedizinregister-Anforderungskatalog (2014)
Steffes-Enn, Dirk
Die Diplomarbeit "Entwicklung eines Telemedizinregister-Anforderungskatalog" behandelt die Erstellung eines Anforderungskatalogs für die Entwicklung eines im telemedizinischen Bereich anwendbaren Registers zur Unterstützung von Abrechnungsvorgängen. Diese werden im deutschen Gesundheitswesen zwischen telemedizinischen Dienstleistern und Kostenträgern in Zusammenhang mit der integrierten Versorgungsform durchgeführt, um die Finanzierung durchgeführter telemedizinischer Behandlungen abzurechnen. Dabei dient das Telemedizinregister als eine datenvorhaltende Speicherstelle, die Kopien von Behandlungsdaten telemedizinischer Dienstleister aufnimmt und deren Verarbeitungsprozesse im Register protokolliert. Den beteiligten Kostenträgern wird Zugriff auf dieses Telemedizinregister gewährt, um die Validität der Therapiedaten überprüfen zu können, die ihnen durch telemedizinische Dienstleister zur Analyse vorgelegt werden. Die Arbeit beschreibt die theoretischen Grundlagen der Bereiche Datenschutz und Telemedizin, mit denen Anforderungslisten und ein SOLL-Modell eines Telemedizinregisters erstellt werden. Dieses Modell setzt sich aus Datenmodellen und Prozessbeschreibungen zusammen und wird mit Hilfe eines praktischen Beispiels einer telemedizinischen Behandlung überprüft. Die Integration verschiedener Standards, welche bei Datenaustausch-Prozessen eingesetzt werden können, ist ein weiterer Teil zur Konzeptionierung des Telemedizinregisters, zu dem mögliche Anwendungsfelder zur Erweiterung der Funktionalität beschrieben werden.
Biometric authentication in mobile payments (2010)
Sreekumar, Shiny
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.
Performance Measurement auf der Basis von Kennzahlen aus betrieblichen Anwendungssystemen: Entwurf eines kennzahlengestützten Informationssystem für einen Logistikdienstleister (2009)
Sprotte, Andreas
Der vorliegende Arbeitsbericht mit dem Titel "Performance Measurement auf der Basis von Kennzahlen aus betrieblichen Anwendungssystemen" beschreibt den Entwurf eines kennzahlengestützten Informationssystems für einen Logistikdienstleister.
Spontaneous Guest Access (SpoGA) & Extended Invitation Management System (E-IMS) (2008)
Speich, Christoph
Diese Arbeit stellt eine Erweiterung zum SpoGA-Server dar. Grundlage war die Idee, kleinen Gruppen einen gesicherten zeitbegenzten Zugang zu einem WLAN zu geben. Diese Idee wurde um die Möglichkeit der Planung ganzer Veranstaltungen erweitert. Nun ist es möglich, ganze Gruppen für Veranstaltungen an einem WLAN anzumelden. In Zusammenarbeit mit den beiden anderen Arbeiten zu diesem Thema wurde ein funktionsfähiger Prototyp entwickelt. SpoGA und E-IMS Server arbeiten beide eigenständig, zusammen jedoch bilden sie ein sehr funktionelles Werkzeug zur Organisation, Planung und Durchführung einer Veranstaltung mit Internetzugang für die Gäste.
MGeoWiki goes m-Participation (2010)
Speich, Christoph
Im Rahmen der mGeoWiki-Projekte wird ein neuer Ansatz geschaffen, mit ortsbezogenen Daten umzugehen. Bisher gibt es zum einen Geo-Portale, wie Google Maps, die es einem ermöglichen, Landkarten oder Luftbilder von jedem beliebigen Ort auf der Erde anzusehen. Dort können von jedem Benutzer zusätzliche Informationen oder auch Fotos hinterlegt und somit anderen Benutzern zugänglich gemacht werden. Die Nutzung dieses Dienstes ist kostenlos. Eine weitere Nutzung ortsbezogener Daten findet sich bei den Navigationssystemen. Hier wird die aktuelle Position mit Hilfe des GPS-Empfängers ermittelt und auf einer Karte angezeigt. Darüber hinaus werden thematische Informationen, wie Hotels oder Tankstellen, dargestellt. Diese zusätzlichen Informationen sind jedoch nicht unmittelbar durch den Benutzer veränderbar, sondern werden durch die Hersteller der Geräte vorgegeben. Eine Aktualisierung ist in der Regel kostenpflichtig. Das mGeoWiki kombiniert diese verschiedene Aspekte zu einem neuen Service. Der erste wichtige Aspekt ist die Mobilität. Der Benutzer kann sich frei in seiner Umwelt bewegen,seine Position wird mittels GPS festgestellt. Dann werden dem Benutzer Luftbilder und zusätzliche Informationen über den aktuellen Standort gezeigt. Der Benutzer ist also nicht mehr an seinen heimischen PC gebunden. Der zweite wichtige Aspekt ist die Möglichkeit der Benutzer, eigene, standortbezogene Daten zu hinterlegen, zu diskutieren und zu verändern. Am Beispiel des Landesamts für Vermessung und Geobasisinformation Rheinland-Pfalz (LVermGeo RLP) und dessen Plattform TIM-Online wird gezeigt, wie sich das mGeoWiki als generische Plattform im e-Government-Kontext einsetzen lässt.
Authority-based and Bottom-up Diffusion of Collaboration Information Technologies (2009)
Shumarova, Elitsa Vasileva
This Thesis contributes by reporting on the current state of diffusion of collaboration information technology (CIT). The investigation concludes, with a high degree of certainty, that today we have a "satisfactory" diffusion level of some level-A CITs (mostly e-Mail, distantly followed by Audio Conferencing), and a "dissatisfactory" diffusion level of higher-level CITs (i.e. those requiring significant collaboration and cooperation among users, like Meeting Support Systems, Group Decision Support Systems, etc.). The potential benefits of the latter seem to be far from fully realised due to lack of user acceptance. This conclusion has gradually developed along the research cycle " it was suggested by Empirical Study I, and tested through Empirical Studies II and III. An additional, unplanned and rather interesting, finding from this study has been the recognition of large [mostly business] reporting on numerous Web 2.0 user-community produced collaboration technologies (most of them belonging to the category of "social software") and their metamorphosis from autonomous, "bottom-up" solutions into enterprise-supported infrastructures. Another contribution of this Thesis " again suggested by Empirical Study I, and tested through Empirical Studies II and III " pertains to the "process structure" of CIT diffusion. I have found that collaboration technology has historically diffused following two distinct (interdependent but orthogonal) diffusion paths " top-down (authority-based) and bottom-up. The authority-based diffusion path seems to be characterised by efforts aimed at "imposing" technologies on employees, the primary concern being to make sure that technology seamlessly and easily integrates into the organisational IT infrastructure. On the other hand, the bottom-up diffusion trail seems to be successful. The contribution of this investigation may be summarised as threefold: 1. This investigation consolidates most of the findings to date, pertaining to CIT adoption and diffusion, which have been produced by the CIT research community. Thus, it tells a coherent story of the dynamics of the community focus and the collective wisdom gathered over a period of (at least) one decade. 2. This work offers a meaningful framework within which to analyse existing knowledge " and indeed extends that knowledge base by identifying persistent problems of collaboration technology acceptance, adoption and diffusion. These problems have been repeatedly observed in practice, though the pattern does not seem to have been recognised and internalised by the community. Many of these problems have been observed in cases of CIT use one decade ago, five years ago, three years ago, and continue to be observed today in structurally the same form despite what is unarguably "rapid technological development". This gives me reason to believe that, at least some of the persistent problems of CIT diffusion can be hypothesised as "determining factors". My contribution here is to identify these factors, discuss them in detail, and thus tackle the theme of CIT diffusion through a structured historical narrative. 3. Through my contribution (2) above, I characterise a "knowledge-action gap" in the field of CIT and illuminate a potential path through which the research community might hope to bridge this gap. The gap may be operationalised as cognitive distance between CIT "knowledge" and CIT "action".
Massenprozessmanagement (2015)
Schöpp, Carsten
This dissertation answers the research question which basically suitable approaches and which necessary information technologies are to be considered for the management of business processes in large amounts (Mass Business Process Management, MBPM) in service companies. It could be shown that for the execution of mass processes a special approach that uses methods of the manufacturing industry is necessary. The research aim to develop an MBPM approach for service companies was accomplished by using the Design Science Research approach and is explained in this dissertation in consecutive steps. For the development of the MBPM approach a longitudinal indepth case study was conducted with a business process outsourcing provider to gain insights from his approach. Outsourcing providers have to produce their services in a very efficient and effective way, otherwise they will not be able to offer their products at favorable conditions. It was shown that the factory-oriented approach of the out-sourcing service provider in the observation period of ten years was suitable to execute mass processes of highest quality, at constantly decreasing prices with less and less people. The assumed need for research concerning MBPM was verified on the basis of an extensive literature research based on the Journal Rating VHB-Jourqual and other literature sources. As many approaches for the introduction of BPM were found, a selection of BPM approaches was analyzed to gain further insights for the development of the MBPM approach. Based on the analysis and the comparison of the different BPM approaches as well as the comparison with the approach of the process outsourcing provider it was found, that BPM and MBPM differ in many aspects. MBPM has a strong operational focus and needs intensive IT support. The operative focus mainly shows in the operative control of processes and people as well as in the corresponding high demands on process transparency. With detailed monitoring and fine grained process measurements as well as timely reporting this process transparency is achieved. Information technology is needed for example to conduct process monitoring timely but also to give internal as well as external stakeholders the desired overview of the current workload and of the invoicing of services. Contrary to the approach of the process outsourcing provider it could also been shown, that change management can influence the implementation, the continuous operation and the constant change associated with MBPM in a positive way.
Security and privacy aspects of e-participation applications (2010)
Schwirz, Patrick
Although e-participation is becoming more and more important, security risks and requirements are so far only superficially regarded. This master thesis aims at contribute to security and privacy of e-participation applications. This paper deals with the users of electronic participation forms. Since personal data has to be transmitted in the e-participation process, systems require trustworthiness, privacy, transparency, availability and legal security between public administration and users. Therefore it is very important to ensure the most of security and privacy standards in information and communication technologies by the administration and the citizens to provide the necessary confidence in using e participation applications. This master thesis examines different e-participation platforms of the areas participatory budgeting, e-consultations, party websites, and e-petitions and explores at first which influence of sensitive e-participation systems on the political system they have. Subsequently, the current safety standard of the e-participation applications is determined. For this purpose an analysis framework is used, regarding on relevant security and privacy issues for e-participation. Based on the results safety levels are deduced from different types of e-participation applications. In addition recommendations for the constitution of e-participation are concluded, which helps to make e participation applications more secure. Furthermore, future technologies with the potential to improve security in the use of electronic public participation are presented.
Social Collaboration Analytics: A Framework for Measuring Collaboration Activities in Enterprise Collaboration Systems (2021)
Schwade, Florian
Enterprise Collaboration Systems (ECS) have become substantial for computer-mediated communication and collaboration among employees in organisations. As ECS combine features from social media and traditional groupware, a growing number of organisations implement ECS to facilitate collaboration among employees. Consequently, ECS form the core of the digital workplace. Thus, the activity logs of ECS are particularly valuable since they provide a unique opportunity for observing and analysing collaboration in the digital workplace. Evidence from academia and practice demonstrates that there is no standardised approach for the analysis of ECS logs and that practitioners struggle with various barriers. Because current ECS analytics tools only provide basic features, academics and practitioners cannot leverage the full potential of the activity logs. As ECS activity logs are a valuable source for understanding collaboration in the digital workplace, new methods and metrics for their analysis are required. This dissertation develops Social Collaboration Analytics (SCA) as a method for measuring and analysing collaboration activities in ECS. To address the existing limitations in academia and practice and to contribute a method and structures for applying SCA in practice, this dissertation aims to answer two main research questions: 1. What are the current practices for measuring collaboration activities in Enterprise Collaboration Systems? 2. How can Social Collaboration Analytics be implemented in practice? By answering the research questions, this dissertation seeks to (1) establish a broad thematic understanding of the research field of SCA and (2) to develop SCA as a structured method for analysing ac-tivity logs of ECS. As part of the first research question, this dissertation documents the status quo of SCA in the academic literature and practice. By answering the second research question, this dissertation contributes the SCA framework (SCAF), which guides the practical application of SCA. SCAF is the main contribution of this dissertation. The framework was developed based on findings from an analysis of 86 SCA studies, results from 6 focus groups and results from a survey among 27 ECS user companies. The phases of SCAF were derived from a comparison of established process models for data mining and business intelligence. The eight phases of the framework contain detailed descriptions, working steps, and guiding questions, which provide a step by step guide for the application of SCA in practice. Thus, academics and practitioners can benefit from using the framework. The constant evaluation of the research outcomes in focus groups ensures both rigour and relevance. This dissertation employs a qualitative-dominant mixed-methods approach. As part of the university-industry collaboration initiative IndustryConnect, this research has access to more than 30 leading ECS user companies. Being built on a key case study and a series of advanced focus groups with representatives of user companies, this dissertation can draw from unique insights from practice as well as rich data with a longitudinal perspective.
Cloud computing for standard ERP systems: reference framework and research agenda (2011)
Schubert, Petra ; Adisa, Femi
Cloud Computing is a topic that has gained momentum in the last years. Current studies show that an increasing number of companies is evaluating the promised advantages and considering making use of cloud services. In this paper we investigate the phenomenon of cloud computing and its importance for the operation of ERP systems. We argue that the phenomenon of cloud computing could lead to a decisive change in the way business software is deployed in companies. Our reference framework contains three levels (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) and clarifies the meaning of public, private and hybrid clouds. The three levels of cloud computing and their impact on ERP systems operation are discussed. From the literature we identify areas for future research and propose a research agenda.
The information audit - analysis and development of information capturing methods (2015)
Schneider, André
This research examines information audit methodologies and information capturing methods for enterprise social software which are an elementary part of the audit process. Information auditing is lacking of a standardized definition and methodology because the scope of the audit process is diversified and dependent on the organization undertaking the audit. The benefits of information auditing and potential challenges of Enterprise 2.0 the audit can overcome are comprehensive and provide a major incentive for managers to conduct an audit. Information asset registers as a starting point for information auditing are not specifically focusing on social software assets. Therefore this research pro-ject combines asset registers from different areas to create a new register suitable for the requirements of Enterprise 2.0. The necssary adaptations caused by the new character of the assets are minor. The case study applying the asset register for the first time however reveals several problematic areas for information auditors completing the register. Rounding up the thesis a template is developed for setting up new work spaces on enterprise social software systems with appropriate metadata taking into account the meaningful metadata discovered in the asset register.
Internet of Things and Sustainability: A Comprehensive Framework (2019)
Schneider, Alexander
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a fast-growing, technological concept, which aims to integrate various physical and virtual objects into a global network to enable interaction and communication between those objects (Atzori, Iera and Morabito, 2010). The application possibilities are manifold and may transform society and economy similarly to the usage of the internet (Chase, 2013). Furthermore, the Internet of Things occupies a central role for the realisation of visionary future concepts, for example, Smart City or Smart Healthcare. In addition, the utilisation of this technology promises opportunities for the enhancement of various sustainability aspects, and thus for the transformation to a smarter, more efficient and more conscious dealing with natural resources (Maksimovic, 2017). The action principle of sustainability increasingly gains attention in the societal and academical discourse. This is reasoned by the partly harmful consumption and production patterns of the last century (Mcwilliams et al., 2016). Relating to sustainability, the advancing application of IoT technology also poses risks. Following the precautionary principle, these risks should be considered early (Harremoës et al., 2001). Risks of IoT for sustainability include the massive amounts of energy and raw materials which are required for the manufacturing and operation of IoT objects and furthermore, the disposal of those objects (Birkel et al., 2019). The exact relations in the context of IoT and sustainability are insufficiently explored to this point and do not constitute a central element within the discussion of this technology (Behrendt, 2019). Therefore, this thesis aims to develop a comprehensive overview of the relations between IoT and sustainability. To achieve this aim, this thesis utilises the methodology of Grounded Theory in combination with a comprehensive literature review. The analysed literature primarily consists of research contributions in the field of Information Technology (IT). Based on this literature, aspects, solution approaches, effects and challenges in the context of IoT and sustainability were elaborated. The analysis revealed two central perspectives in this context. IoT for Sustainability (IoT4Sus) describes the utilisation and usage of IoT-generated information to enhance sustainability aspects. In contrast, Sustainability for IoT (Sus4IoT) fo-cuses on sustainability aspects of the applied technology and highlights methods to reduce negative impacts, which are associated with the manufacturing and operation of IoT. Elaborated aspects and relations were illustrated in the comprehensive CCIS Framework. This framework represents a tool for the capturing of relevant aspects and relations in this context and thus supports the awareness of the link between IoT and sustainability. Furthermore, the framework suggests an action principle to optimise the performance of IoT systems regarding sustainability. The central contribution of this thesis is represented by the providence of the CCIS Framework and the contained information regarding the aspects and relations of IoT and sustainability.
Design und Implementierung eines Business Process Modeling Recommender Systems auf Basis probabilistischer Endlicher Automaten (2019)
Schneichel, Tim
The goal of this thesis is to create a recommender system (RS) for business processes, based on the existing ProM plugin RegPFA. To accomplish this task, firstly an interface must be created that sets up and expands a database receiving probabilistic finite automata (PFA) created by RegPFA in tsml format as input. Secondly, a Java program must be designed that uses said database to recommend the process elements that are most likely to follow a given sequence of process elements.
Development of guidelines that support organisations in managing their knowledge assets by means of IT (2018)
Schmitz, Christoph
Companies try to utilise Knowledge Management (KM) to gain more efficiency and effectiveness in business. The major problem is that most of these KM projects are not or rarely based on sustainable analyses or established theories about KM. Often there is a big gap between the expectations and the real outcome of such KM initiatives. So the research question to be answered is: What challenges arise in KM projects, which KM requirements can be derived from them and which recommendations support the goal of meeting the requirements for KM? As theoretical foundation a set of KM frameworks is examined. Subsequently KM challenges from literature are analysed and best practices from case studies are used to provide recommendations for action on this challenges. The main outcome of this thesis is a best practice guideline,which allows Chief Knowledge Officers (CKOs) and KM project managers to examine the challenges mentioned in this thesis closely, and to find a suitable method to master these challenge in an optimal way. This guideline shows that KM can be positively and negatively influenced in a variety of ways. Mastering Knowledge Management (KM) in a company is a big and far-reaching venture and that technology respectively Information Technology (IT) is only a part of the big picture.
Internet of Things–Related Business Change: A Qualitative Meta-Analysis (2017)
Schmeiser, Arne Fritjof
The Internet of Things (IoT) recently developed from the far-away vision of ubiquitous computing into very tangible endeavors in politics and economy, implemented in expensive preparedness programs. Experts predict considerable changes in business models that need to be addressed by organizations in order to respond to competition. Although there is a need to develop strategies for upcoming transformations, organizational change literature did not turn to the specific change related to the new technology yet. This work aims at investigating IoT-related organizational change by identifying and classifying different change types. It therefore combines the methodological approach of grounded theory with a discussion and classification of identified change informed by a structured literature review of organizational change literature. This includes a meta-analysis of case studies using a qualitative, exploratory coding approach to identify categories of organizational change related to the introduction of IoT. Furthermore a comparison of the identified categories to former technology-related change is provided using the example of Electronic Business (e-business), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems. As a main result, this work develops a comprehensive model of IoT-related business change. The model presents two main themes of change indicating that personal smart things will transform businesses by means of using more personal devices, suggesting and scheduling actions of their users, and trying to avoid hazards. At the same time, the availability of information in organizations will further increase to a state where information is available ubiquitously. This will ultimately enable accessing real time information about objects and persons anytime and from any place. As a secondary result, this work gives an overview on concepts of technology-related organizational change in academic literature.
Mapping Graph- and Logic-based Process Model Query Language Features (2019)
Schlicht, Sebastian
Business Process Querying (BPQ) is a discipline in the field of Business Process Man- agement which helps experts to understand existing process models and accelerates the development of new ones. Its queries can fetch and merge these models, answer questions regarding the underlying process, and conduct compliance checking in return. Many languages have been deployed in this discipline but two language types are dominant: Logic-based languages use temporal logic to verify models as finite state machines whereas graph-based languages use pattern matching to retrieve subgraphs of model graphs directly. This thesis aims to map the features of both language types to features of the other to identify strengths and weaknesses. Exemplarily, the features of Computational Tree Logic (CTL) and The Diagramed Modeling Language (DMQL) are mapped to one another. CTL explores the valid state space and thus is better for behavioral querying. Lacking certain structural features and counting mechanisms it is not appropriate to query structural properties. In contrast, DMQL issues structural queries and its patterns can reconstruct any CTL formula. However, they do not always achieve exactly the same semantic: Patterns treat conditional flow as sequential flow by ignoring its conditions. As a result, retrieved mappings are invalid process execution sequences, i.e. false positives, in certain scenarios. DMQL can be used for behavioral querying if these are absent or acceptable. In conclusion, both language types have strengths and are specialized for different BPQ use cases but in certain scenarios graph-based languages can be applied to both. Integrating the evaluation of conditions would remove the need for logic-based languages in BPQ completely.
Innovation durch Technologieintegration (2006)
Schaarschmidt, Mario
The impact of innovation in order to secure a company- existence is increasing. Especially in the field of information and communication systems, modified conditions, reduced product life cycles (in some markets e.g. in the software market down to a few months), and increased competition force many companies to adapt their innovation speed. Long-term profit will just be obtained by those companies that will manage to consolidate or further to enlarge their competitive position with technological innovation. The increasing relevance of new developments requires a separate treatment of technological innovations and demands for a technology and innovation management. Not every innovation is thereby a result of a single, spontaneous idea. Many innovations evolve from the integration or combination of already existing technologies. Especially in markets with insignificant growing rates, this kind of innovation is quite important. The purpose of this thesis is the identification of existing deficiencies within established recommendations for a strategic technology and innovation management concerning technological integration. Based on the technological innovation, a possibility for the exposure to the developed innovations will be formulated. Finally, this thesis provides an own approach about this kind of innovation that will be examined.
E-participation in Germany: analysis of the status quo and survey in Koblenz (2008)
Sauerborn, Michael
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.
Eine Netzanalyse der Organisationsstrukturen im Bereich Geldwäsche (2015)
Sartor, Nicholas
This thesis conducts a text and network analysis of criminological files. The specific focus during the research is the field money laundering. The analysis showed the most important concepts present in the text which were classified in eleven different classes. The relationships of those concepts were analysed using ego networks, key entity identification and clustering. Some of the statements given about money laundering could be validated by the findings of this analysis and their interpretation. Specific concepts like banks and organizations as well as foreign subsidiaries were identified. Aggregating these concepts with the statements in chapter 1.4.3 on the circular process of money laundering it can be stated that different organizations and individuals, present in the criminological files, were placing money through different banks, organizations and investments in the legal financial market. At last this thesis tries to validate the benefits of the used tools for the kind of conducted research process. An estimation on ORA's and Automap's applicability for this kind of research is given in the end.
Business continuity planning (2008)
Rutenbeck, Sascha
Unternehmenskrisen lassen die Weltwirtschaft aufhorchen - gerade in jüngster Zeit häufen sich die Nachrichten über Notfälle und folgenschwere Fehlentscheidungen in Organisationen aller Art. Vieles bekommt die Außenwelt aber gar nicht erst mit, wenn die Ausweitung von Störungen noch in letzter Sekunde verhindert werden kann. Und wenn das Ausmaß zu groß wird? Dann droht oft das wirtschaftliche Aus. Business Continuity Planning ist der Vorsorgeprozess, der eine Institution auf den Ausnahmefall vorbereitet und garantiert, dass deren Existenz zu jeder Zeit gesichert ist und alle geschäftskritischen Prozesse auch während einer Krise aufrecht erhalten werden können. Diese Diplomarbeit erleichtert den Einstieg in das Thema Business Continuity Planning und in die erfolgreiche Umsetzung von Notfallmaßnahmen. Aus dem Blickwinkel der IT werden wertvolle Definitionen und Abgrenzungen gegeben und die Problemstellungen und Lösungswege einer individuellen Notfallvorsorge aufgegriffen. Fokussiert wird ein umfassender Überblick über die zentralen Teilbereiche des Planungsprozesses (und ihrer Erfolgskriterien) und ein praktischer Einblick in das Krisenmanagement.
Konzeption, Implementierung und Test eines Business Process Modeling Recommender Systems auf Basis von Long Short-Term Memory Neural Networks (2019)
Ritschl, Alexander
The main goal of this paper is to ascertain, if neural networks (especially LSTM) are helpful in predicting processes by making predictions as accurately as possible. TensorFlow is the used framework in Python to build recurrent neural networks. Two networks are built, whereby one is used for training and the other one for prediction. Used datasets contain several processes with several events each. With those processes, the network ist trained and afterwards, the parameters are saved. The network for prediction uses these parameters to make predictions. The neural network is able to make clear predictions about subsequent events. Even branches can be predicted. When developed further, integration in other programs is possible. It is recommended to use unique names for the events or to rename them.
EU-Schadensbericht : Back-Office (2010)
Rippert, Alexander
Im Rahmen dieser Bachelorarbeit wurde ein Back-Office für die elektronische Version des Europäischen Schadensberichtes erstellt. Es wurde bereits in anderen Arbeiten ein mobiler Client, welcher auf einem Windows Mobile Handy läuft, sowie ein Polizei Client erstellt. Diese greifen auf das Back-Office zu, um Daten, wie z.B. die Autodaten (Automarke, der Typ, das Baujahr und Bilder eines 3D-Modells des Autos) zu einem bestimmten Kennzeichen oder die Personendaten des jeweiligen Autobesitzers zu erhalten. Der mobile Client sendet zudem die Unfallakte an das Back-Office, damit die Daten über einen Unfall in diesem abgespeichert und weiter bearbeitet werden können. Ziel der Arbeit war es ein erweiterbares, modulares System zu entwickeln, welches später um weitere Module ergänzt werden kann, um neue Funktionen bereitstellen zu können. Diese Module können jeweils beliebige Daten in einer Datenbank abspeichern und diese von der Datenbank auch wieder abfragen, sowie verändern, ohne dass das relationale Schema der Datenbank verändert werden muss.

A Service-oriented approach for the virtual company dossier (2010)
Reiser, Daniel
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.
Anforderungen und Handlungsempfehlung zur Umsetzung der EU-Dienstleistungsrichtlinie (2008)
Rach, Viktor
Die Herstellung eines Europäischen Binnenmarktes, wie sie durch den Vertrag zur Gründung der Europäischen Gemeinschaft vorgesehen ist, beinhaltet unter anderem die freie grenzüberschreitende Erbringung von Dienstleistungen. Dem stehen jedoch mehrfach die Bestimmungen im Recht der EU-Mitgliedstaaten entgegen, die den freien Zugang von Dienstleistungserbringern aus anderen EU-Mitgliedstaaten zum nationalen Markt blockieren. Gründe für derartige Maßnahmen können sehr unterschiedlich sein, z.B.: der Schutz innerstaatlicher Anbieter, die Gewährleistung von Schutznormen des nationalen Arbeitsrechts oder die Verhinderung eines ruinösen Unterbietungswettlaufs. Die Richtlinie soll bürokratische Hindernisse abbauen, den grenzüberschreitenden Handel mit Dienstleistungen fördern und damit zur Verwirklichung des einheitlichen Binnenmarktes beitragen. Die Europäische Kommission hat am 12. Dezember 2006 die EU-Dienstleistungsrichtlinie verabschiedet. Jeder Mitgliedstaat der EU verpflichtet sich bis zum Jahr 2009 die Richtlinie umzusetzen und zugleich einen Bericht der Kommission vorzulegen. Innerhalb der Diplomarbeit werden mehrere Themenbereiche bearbeitet. Zu Beginn erfolgt eine allgemeine Einführung in die EU-Dienstleistungsrichtlinie. Als nächstes erfolgt eine Analyse aktueller Ansätze zur Umsetzung der EU-Richtlinie in Deutschland, Österreich und Großbritannien, dabei wird der Fortschritt der Länder anhand der Kernstrukturen der Direktive betrachtet. Zusätzlich wird für jedes betrachtete Land ein mögliches Anmeldeszenario, ohne die Vorgaben der Richtlinie, vorgestellt. Zur Vervollständigung der Betrachtung erfolgt zum Schluss eine länderübergreifende Auswertung. Diese wird sich sowohl auf die zurzeit vorherrschende Ländersituation als auch auf die erzielten Ergebnisse innerhalb der Direktive beziehen.
Investigating the visualization process. Development of an integrated framework (2017)
Presnyakova, Anna
The extensive literature in the data visualization field indicates that the process of creating efficient data visualizations requires the data designer to have a large set of skills from different fields (such as computer science, user experience, and business expertise). However, there is a lack of guidance about the visualization process itself. This thesis aims to investigate the different processes for creating data visualizations and develop an integrated framework to guide the process of creating data visualizations that enable the user to create more useful and usable data visualizations. Firstly, existing frameworks in the literature will be identified, analyzed and compared. During this analysis, eight views of the visualization process are developed. These views represent the set of activities which should be done in the visualization process. Then, a preliminary integrated framework is developed based on an analysis of these findings. This new integrated framework is tested in the field of Social Collaboration Analytics on an example from the UniConnect platform. Lastly, the integrated framework is refined and improved based on the results of testing with the help of diagrams, visualizations and textual description. The results show that the visualization process is not a waterfall type. It is the iterative methodology with the certain phases of work, demonstrating how to address the eight views with different levels of stakeholder involvement. The findings are the basis for a visualization process which can be used in future work to develop the fully functional methodology.
Evaluation of Open Source Business Process Management Suites in the Context of R4eGov (2009)
Petruschenko, Dimitri
The thesis at hand evaluates Open Source Business Process Management (BPM) Systems in the context of the R4eGov1 Project. The provision of concepts and tools to support and enable interoperability in pan-European networks of pubic administrations is one of the major objectives that R4eGov is aiming at. Thereby a strong focus lies on the interoperability of cross-organizational processes from the viewpoint of modeling, execution and monitoring. BPM can increase the effectiveness and efficiency of cross-organizational processes by restructuring them towards the needs of the entities involved. BPM is dependent on BPM systems that combine technologies of process modeling, business process analysis and execution along with their integration into adequate runtime environments and rule engines. The evaluation that is performed within the thesis investigates how far BPM systems can support several requirements of interoperability that have been developed by the R4eGov project. It also targets at analyzing those BPM system according to generic requirements on BPM and software tools. The investigation is build upon common BPM theories and standards for modeling business processes. It describes the origin and interdependencies of BPM and Workflow Management (WfM), highlighting similarities and differences from the technological and historical perspective. Moreover, it introduces web service standards and technologies that are used to build service-oriented architectures allowing greater flexibility in BPM. In addition the thesis introduces methods and best practices to evaluate software tools. It contains an evaluation framework for BPM tools that has been based on the software product evaluation standard ISO/IEC 14598. The evaluation framework comprises the definition of an R4eGov scenario and a catalogue of criteria for evaluating a set of selected Open Source BPM systems. The definition of the catalogue of criteria is build upon generic requirements on BPM systems and those that are specifically to R4eGov. The chosen methods and the core elements of the evaluation framework will be applied to the selected BPM systems Intalio BPMS,NetBeans IDE, and JBoss jBPM. Finally the results of the applied R4eGov scenario and of the applied catalogue of criteria are being discussed by highlighting individual strengths and weaknesses of the systems.
