Mit der rasant fortschreitenden Entwicklung von Informatiksystemen und Algorithmen ist die Erfassung und Verarbeitung von Daten in immer größeren Umfang möglich. Verschiedene Initiativen haben sich dadurch motiviert zur Aufgabe gemacht, über die daraus resultierenden Gefahren für die Persönlichkeitsrechte und die Meinungsfreiheit aufzuklären. Dies soll einen bewussteren Umgang mit personenbezogenen Daten zur Folge haben. Zum Schutz der Grundrechte bedarf es aufgeklärter und informierter Nutzer, diese Aufgabe können die Initiativen allerdings nicht alleine leisten. Die staatlichen Bildungseinrichtungen und besonders die Schulen, stehen hier in der Pflicht sich an der Lösung des Problems zu beteiligen. Um ihrem Bildungsauftrag im vollen Ausmaß gerecht zu werden, bedarf es struktureller Änderungen, wie der Änderung von Lehrplänen. Solange diese allerdings nicht erfolgt sind, muss in und mit den gegebenen Strukturen gearbeitet werden. Eine Plattform dafür bietet der schulische Informatikunterricht.
Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt eine Unterrichtsreihe zur Behandlung von Datenschutz und Datensicherheit vor. Es wurde dabei ein kontextorientierter Ansatz nach Vorbild von Informatik im Kontext gewählt. Die Reihe Smartphone-Applikationen beinhaltet über die genannten primären Themen der Unterrichtsreihe hinaus weitere Dimensionen, die bei der Nutzung von Smartphones auftreten. Durch den direkten Bezug zum Alltag der Schüler soll dabei eine möglichst hohe Betroffenheit erzeugt werden. Dadurch sollen die Schüler ihr bisheriges Nutzungsverhalten überdenken und im besten Fall ihren Altersgenossen als Vorbilder dienen. Die Prüfung der Durchführbarkeit der Reihe im Unterricht steht noch aus. Diese war im Rahmen dieser Arbeit, begründet durch die begrenzte Bearbeitungszeit, nicht zu leisten.

Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wird der Einfluss des Wahlszenarios auf die Geheimheit und Öffentlichkeit der Wahl herausgearbeitet. Ein Wahlszenario wird durch seine Wahlform und die verwendete Wahltechnik bestimmt. Bei der Wahl-form kann zwischen einer Präsenz- und einer Fernwahl unterschieden werden. Bei der Wahltechnik zwischen der Papier- und der elektronischen Wahl. Mit der Papier-Präsenzwahl, der Briefwahl (Papier-Fernwahl) und der Internetwahl (elektronische Fernwahl) werden drei prominente Wahlszenarien und ihr Einfluss auf Geheimheit, Privatheit und Öffentlichkeit untersucht.
Digital happiness
(2016)
Emotions in the digital world gain more and more importance by the accelerating digitalization of recent years. In everyday life as well as professional and educational environments, the use of media is almost inescapable. This work takes a closer look to the still relatively unknown topic, “Digital Happiness“. In the literature emotions in the digital world are studied increasingly, but concerning the topic of “Digital Happiness” there are not many insights.
In this research the differences between communicating emotions through digital media and face-to-face communications, as well as their impacts, are investigated. The perception and expression of emotions in the real and digital world are considered. Furthermore, a first definition of “Digital Happiness” and a model with the associated determinants that influence “Digital Happiness” is developed.
To achieve these goals, a literature analysis by the method of Webster & Watson (2002) is performed. Therefore, 15 articles are selected and analyzed in more detail to illustrate the current state of research. These articles are organized into a concept matrix. In addition, special phenomena, such as Quantified Self, are closely considered in order to determine other factors. Based on the literature analysis, a qualitative study by the method of Mayring (2014) is performed. It is developed into an interview guideline that serves as the basis for the investigation of the established determinants of the literature analysis. This is confirmed or refuted by 30 interviews with users of information and communication technologies. With the help of the interviews, a large part of the determinants in the literature can be confirmed. Moreover, some new determinants are identified. These results are included into the final model. This model provides a basis for further research in the field of “Digital Happiness“. Finally, different implications for research and practice are found, which reveal the need of further research.
Six and Gimmler have identified concrete capabilities that enable users to use the Internet in a competent way. Their media competence model can be used for the didactical design of media usage in secondary schools. However, the special challenge of security awareness is not addressed by the model. In this paper, the important dimension of risk and risk assessment will be introduced into the model. This is especially relevant for the risk of the protection of personal data and privacy. This paper will apply the method of IT risk analysis in order to select those dimensions of the Six/Gimmler media competence model that are appropriate to describe privacy aware Internet usage. Privacy risk aware decisions for or against the Internet usage is made visible by the trust model of Mayer et al.. The privacy extension of the competence model will lead to a measurement of the existing privacy awareness in secondary schools, which, in turn, can serve as a didactically well-reasoned design of Informatics modules in secondary schools. This paper will provide the privacy-extended competence model, while empirical measurement and module design is planned for further research activities.
In this article we analyze the privacy aspects of a mobile sensor application used for recording urban travel patterns as part of a travel-survey service. This service has been developed and field-tested within the Live+Gov EU Project. The privacy analysis follows a structured approach established in. Eight privacy recommendations are derived, and have already led to corresponding enhancements of the travel-survey service.
In order to enhance the company’s appeal for potential employees and improve the satisfaction of already salaried workers, it is necessary to offer a variety of work-life balance measures. But as their implementation causes time and financial costs, a prioritization of measures is needed. To express a recommendation for companies, this study is led by the questions if there are work-life balance measures which have more impact on employee satisfaction than others, how big the relative impact of work-life balance measures on job satisfaction in comparison to other work and private life variables is, if there is a relation between the effectiveness of measures and their use and if there is a difference between the measures which are most important from the employees’ perspective and the companies’ offers.
These questions are formulated in eight research hypotheses which are examined in a quantitative research design with online survey data from 289 employees of fifteen different German companies. The formation of a hierarchy of the effectiveness of measures towards job satisfaction as well as the investigation of the relative impact in comparison to other variables is performed using a multiple regression analysis, whilst the differences between employees’ expectations and the availability of offers are examined with t-tests.
Support in childcare, support in voluntary activities and teambuilding events have a significantly higher impact on job satisfaction than other work-life balance measures, and their potential use is higher than the actual use which leads to the conclusion that there is yet potential for companies to improve their employees’ satisfaction by implementing these measures. In addition, flexible work hours, flexible work locations and free time and overtime accounts are the most important measures from the employees’ point of view and already widely offered by the surveyed companies. In general, the overall use of the available measures and the quantity of offered measures are more important with regard to job satisfaction than the specific kind of measure. In addition, work-life balance measures are more important towards job satisfaction for younger people.
Die vorliegende Arbeit bildet den Abschluss eines Forschungspraktikums von Studierenden der Masterstudiengänge Informationsmanagement und Wirtschaftsinformatik unter Betreuung der wissenschaftlichen Mitarbeiterin Daniela Simić-Draws und von Prof. Dr. Rüdiger Grimm. Eine wesentliche Vorlage zu dieser Arbeit war ein Vorgehensmodell zur Sicherheitsanalyse von Geschäftsprozessen, das von D. Simić-Draws im Rahmen ihrer Dissertation erarbeitet wird und zu dessen laufender Verbesserung dieses studentische Forschungspraktikum wertvolle Hinweise liefern konnte. Als Anwendungsbeispiel wurden die sicherheitskritischen Prozesse "Kommunalwahl" und "Geldauszahlung am Bankautomaten" gewählt, weil die Arbeitsgruppe von Prof. Grimm in diesen beiden Anwendungen aus vorhergehender wissenschaftlicher Arbeit Erfahrung gesammelt hat. Insbesondere zum Anwendungsbeispiel "Kommunalwahl" hatte sich dankenswerterweise das Ordnungsamt Koblenz, das für die Kommunalwahlen zuständig ist, unter aktiver Mithilfe ihres Leiters Dirk Urmersbach zur Zusammenarbeit angeboten, so dass dieser Geschäftsprozess wirklichkeitsnah untersucht werden konnte.
Information systems research has started to use crowdsourcing platforms such as Amazon Mechanical Turks (MTurk) for scientific research, recently. In particular, MTurk provides a scalable, cheap work-force that can also be used as a pool of potential respondents for online survey research. In light of the increasing use of crowdsourcing platforms for survey research, the authors aim to contribute to the understanding of its appropriate usage. Therefore, they assess if samples drawn from MTurk deviate from those drawn via conventional online surveys (COS) in terms of answers in relation to relevant e-commerce variables and test the data in a nomological network for assessing differences in effects.
The authors compare responses from 138 MTurk workers with those of 150 German shoppers recruited via COS. The findings indicate, inter alia, that MTurk workers tend to exhibit more positive word-of mouth, perceived risk, customer orientation and commitment to the focal company. The authors discuss the study- results, point to limitations, and provide avenues for further research.
Der Fachbereich 4 (Informatik) besteht aus fünfundzwanzig Arbeitsgruppen unter der Leitung von Professorinnen und Professoren, die für die Forschung und Lehre in sechs Instituten zusammenarbeiten.
In jedem Jahresbericht stellen sich die Arbeitsgruppen nach einem einheitlichen Muster dar, welche personelle Zusammensetzung sie haben, welche Projekte in den Berichtszeitraum fallen und welche wissenschaftlichen Leistungen erbracht wurden. In den folgenden Kapiteln werden einzelne Parameter aufgeführt, die den Fachbereich in quantitativer Hinsicht, was Drittmitteleinwerbungen, Abdeckung der Lehre, Absolventen oder Veröffentlichungen angeht, beschreiben.
Im Laufe der letzten Jahre hat sich der typische Komplex an kritischen Erfolgsfaktoren für Unternehmen verändert, infolgedessen der Faktor Wissen eine wachsende Bedeutung erlangt hat. Insofern kann man zum heutigen Zeitpunkt von Wissen als viertem Produktionsfaktor sprechen, welcher die Faktoren Arbeit, Kapital und Boden als wichtigste Faktoren eines Unternehmens ablöst (vgl. Keller & Yeaple 2013, S. 2; Kogut & Zander 1993, S. 631). Dies liegt darin begründet, dass aktive Maßnahmen zur Unterstützung von Wissenstransfer in Unternehmen höhere Profite und Marktanteile sowie bessere Überlebensfähigkeit gegenüber Wettbewerbern ohne derartige Maßnahmen nach sich ziehen (vgl. Argote 1999, S. 28; Szulanski 1996, S. 27; Osterloh & Frey 2000, S. 538). Der hauptsächliche Vorteil von wissensbasierten Entwicklungen liegt dabei in deren Nachhaltigkeit, da aufgrund der immateriellen Struktur (vgl. Inkpen & Dinur 1998, S. 456; Spender 1996a, S. 65 f.; Spender 1996b, S. 49; Nelson & Winter 1982, S. 76 ff.) eine Nachahmung durch Wettbewerber erschwert wird (vgl. Wernerfelt 1984, S. 173; Barney 1991, S. 102).
Aufgrund des branchenweiten Bedarfs den Konkurrenzkampf zu umgehen, entwickelten Kim und Mauborgne die Blue Ocean Strategy, um neue Märkte zu ergründen. Diese bezeichnen sie als einzigartig. Da jedoch weitere Strategien zur Ergründung neuer Märkte existieren, ist es das Ziel dieser Arbeit herauszufinden, anhand welcher Charakterisierungsmerkmale die Blue Ocean Strategy als einzigartig angesehen werden kann.
Die Strategie von Kim und Mauborgne soll daher mit Schumpeters schöpferischen Zerstörung, Ansoffs Diversifikationsstrategie, Porters Nischenstrategie und Druckers Innovationsstrategien verglichen werden. Für den Vergleich werden die Charakterisierungsmerkmale herangezogen, nach denen Kim und Mauborgne die Blue Ocean Strategy als einzigartig beurteilen. Auf Basis dieser Kriterien wird ein Metamodell entwickelt, mit dessen Hilfe die Untersuchung durchgeführt wird.
Der Vergleich zeigt, dass die Konzepte von Schumpeter, Ansoff, Porter und Drucker in einigen Kriterien der Blue Ocean Strategy ähneln. Keine der Strategien verhält sich jedoch in allen Punkten so wie das Konzept von Kim und Mauborgne. Während die Blue Ocean Strategy ein Differenzierung und Senkung der Kosten anstrebt, orientieren sich die meisten Konzepte entweder an einer Differenzierung oder an einer Kostenreduktion. Auch die Betretung des neuen Marktes wird unterschiedlich interpretiert. Während die Blue Ocean Strategy auf einen Markt abzielt, der unergründet ist und somit keinen Wettbewerb vorweist, werden bei den anderen Strategien oft bestehende Märkte als neu interpretiert, auf denen das Unternehmen bisher nicht agiert hat. Dies schließt die vorherige Existenz der Märkte jedoch nicht aus.
Auf Basis der durch den Vergleich gezogenen Erkenntnisse, kann somit die Blue Ocean Strategy als einzigartig bezeichnet werden.
The aim of this paper is to identify and understand the risks and issues companies are experiencing from the business use of social media and to develop a framework for describing and categorising those social media risks. The goal is to contribute to the evolving theorisation of social media risk and to provide a foundation for the further development of social media risk management strategies and processes. The study findings identify thirty risk types organised into five categories (technical, human, content, compliance and reputational). A risk-chain is used to illustrate the complex interrelated, multi-stakeholder nature of these risks and directions for future work are identified.
The way information is presented to users in online community platforms has an influence on the way the users create new information. This is the case, for instance, in question-answering fora, crowdsourcing platforms or other social computation settings. To better understand the effects of presentation policies on user activity, we introduce a generative model of user behaviour in this paper. Running simulations based on this user behaviour we demonstrate the ability of the model to evoke macro phenomena comparable to the ones observed on real world data.
Modeling and publishing Linked Open Data (LOD) involves the choice of which vocabulary to use. This choice is far from trivial and poses a challenge to a Linked Data engineer. It covers the search for appropriate vocabulary terms, making decisions regarding the number of vocabularies to consider in the design process, as well as the way of selecting and combining vocabularies. Until today, there is no study that investigates the different strategies of reusing vocabularies for LOD modeling and publishing. In this paper, we present the results of a survey with 79 participants that examines the most preferred vocabulary reuse strategies of LOD modeling. Participants of our survey are LOD publishers and practitioners. Their task was to assess different vocabulary reuse strategies and explain their ranking decision. We found significant differences between the modeling strategies that range from reusing popular vocabularies, minimizing the number of vocabularies, and staying within one domain vocabulary. A very interesting insight is that the popularity in the meaning of how frequent a vocabulary is used in a data source is more important than how often individual classes and properties arernused in the LOD cloud. Overall, the results of this survey help in understanding the strategies how data engineers reuse vocabularies, and theyrnmay also be used to develop future vocabulary engineering tools.
Remote rendering services offer the possibility to stream high quality images to lower powered devices. Due to the transmission of data the interactivity of applications is afflicted with a delay. A method to reduce delay of the camera manipulation on the client is called 3d-warping. This method causes artifacts. In this thesis different approaches of remote rendering setups will be shown. The artifacts and improvements of the warping method will be described. Methods to reduce the artifacts will be implemented and analyzed.
Data Mining im Fußball
(2014)
The term Data Mining is used to describe applications that can be applied to extract useful information from large datasets. Since the 2011/2012 season of the german soccer league, extensive data from the first and second Bundesliga have been recorded and stored. Up to 2000 events are recorded for each game.
The question arises, whether it is possible to use Data Mining to extract patterns from this extensive data which could be useful to soccer clubs.
In this thesis, Data Mining is applied to the data of the first Bundesliga to measure the value of individual soccer players for their club. For this purpose, the state of the art and the available data are described. Furthermore, classification, regression analysis and clustering are applied to the available data. This thesis focuses on qualitative characteristics of soccer players like the nomination for the national squad or the marks players get for their playing performance. Additionally this thesis considers the playing style of the available players and examines if it is possible to make predictions for upcoming seasons. The value of individual players is determined by using regression analysis and a combination of cluster analysis and regression analysis.
Even though not all applications can achieve sufficient results, this thesis shows that Data Mining has the potential to be applied to soccer data. The value of a player can be measured with the help of the two approaches, allowing simple visualization of the importance of a player for his club.
Systems to simulate crowd-behavior are used to simulate the evacuation of a crowd in case of an emergency. These systems are limited to the moving-patterns of a crowd and are generally not considering psychological and/or physical conditions. Changing behaviors within the crowd (e.g. by a person falling down) are not considered.
For that reason, this thesis will examine the psychological behavior and the physical impact of a crowd- member on the crowd. In order to do so, this study develops a real-time simulation for a crowd of people, adapted from a system for video games. This system contains a behavior-AI for agents. In order to show physical interaction between the agents and their environment as well as their movements, the physical representation of each agent is realized by using rigid bodies from a physics-engine. The movements of the agents have an additional navigation mesh and an algorithm for collision avoidance.
By developing a behavior-AI a physical and psychological state is reached. This state contains a psychological stress-level as well as a physical condition. The developed simulation is able to show physical impacts such as crowding and crushing of agents, interaction of agents with their environment as well as factors of stress.
By evaluating several tests of the simulation, this thesis examines whether the combination of physical and psychological impacts is implementable successfully. If so, this thesis will be able to give indications of an agent- behavior in dangerous and/or stressful situations as well as a valuation of the complex physical representation.

This study investigates crowdfunding, a new form of financing projects. In the past years more and more crowdfunding platforms emerged. The main question is if crowdfunding is able to compete with the traditional types of financing social projects. The history and development of crowdfunding is presented in this paper. The different crowdfunding models are explained. An overview of German crowd funding platforms is presented. Based on successful social crowdfunding projects a list of key success factors is listed and described. In a case study a concept for financing a social project through crowdfunding is developed upon the previous studies.
The Microsoft Kinect is currently polular in many application areas because ofrnthe cheap price and good precission. But controlling the cursor is unapplicablerndue to jitter in the skeletton data. My approach will try to stabilisize the cursor position with common techniques from image processing. The input therefore will be the Kinect color camera. A final position will be calculated using the different positions of the tracking techniques. For controlling the cursor the right hand should be tracked. A simple click gesture will also be developed. The evaluation will show if this approach was succesfull.
Large amounts of qualitative data make the utilization of computer-assisted methods for their analysis inevitable. In this thesis Text Mining as an interdisciplinary approach, as well as the methods established in the empirical social sciences for analyzing written utterances are introduced. On this basis a process of extracting concept networks from texts is outlined and the possibilities of utilitzing natural language processing methods within are highlighted. The core of this process is text processing, to whose execution software solutions supporting manual as well as automated work are necessary. The requirements to be met by these solutions, against the background of the initiating project GLODERS, which is devoted to investigating extortion racket systems as part of the global fiσnancial system, are presented, and their fulσlment by the two most preeminent candidates reviewed. The gap between theory and pratical application is closed by a prototypical application of the method to a data set of the research project utilizing the two given software solutions.
This thesis describes the implementation of a Path-planning algorithm for multi-axle vehicles using machine learning algorithms. For that purpose, a general overview over Genetic Algorithms is given and alternative machine learning algorithms are briefly explained. The software developed for this purpose is based on the EZSystem Simulation Software developed by the AG Echtzeitysteme at the University Koblenz-Landau and a path correction algorithm developed by Christian Schwarz, which is also detailed in this paper. This also includes a description of the vehicle used in these simulations. Genetic Algorithms as a solution for path-planning in complex scenarios are then evaluated based on the results of the developed simulation software and compared to alternative, non-machine learning solutions, which are also shortly presented.
In this thesis we discuss the increasingly important routing aggregation and its consequences on avoiding routing loops. As basis for implementation and evaluation I will use the RMTI protocol, developed at the University of Koblenz, which is an evolution of the RFC2453 specified in the Routing Information Protocol version 2. The virtual network environment Virtual Network User Mode Linux (VNUML) is used within this thesis as environment. With VNUML it is possible to operate and evaluate real network scenarios in a virtual environment. The RMTI has already proven its ability to detect topological loops and thereby prevent the formation of these routing loops. In this thesis we will describe the function of the RMTI and then discuss under which circumstances we can use routing aggregation, without it resulting in routing anomalies. In order to implement these changes it is essential to have a deeper understanding of the structure of routing tables, so the construction will be explained using reference to examples. There follows a description of which points have to be changed, in the RMTI in order to avoid loops despite aggregation. In Summary we will evaluate the affect the routing aggregation has on the reorganization ability of the virtual network.
Die weltweite Zugänglichkeit und umfangreiche Nutzung des Internets machen dieses Medium zu einem effizienten und beliebten Informations-, Kommunikations-, und Verkaufsinstrument. Immer mehr Menschen und Organisationen versuchen, diese Vorzüge durch eine eigene Website für ihre Zwecke zu verwenden. Als hilfreiches Mittel zur Optimierung von Webpräsenzen bewährte sich in den letzten Jahren der Einsatz von Web-Analytics-Software. Durch diese Software sind Websitebetreiber in der Lage, Informationen über die Besucher ihrer Website und deren Nutzungsverhalten zu sammeln und zu messen. Das angestrebte Resultat sind Optimierungsentscheidungen auf Basis von Daten an Stelle von Annahmen und wirkungsvolle Testmöglichkeiten.
Für den Bereich des E-Commerce existieren bis dato zahlreiche wissenschaftliche und praxiserprobte Hilfestellungen für Web-Analytics-Projekte. Informationswebsites hingegen werden trotz ihrer Wichtigkeit nur vereinzelt thematisiert. Um diesem Defizit entgegenzuwirken, hat Hausmann 2012 das Framework for Web Analytics entwickelt, welches dem Anwender ein hilfreiches Referenzmodell für sein Web Analytics-Vorhaben bietet. Diesen Ansatz weiter voranzutreiben ist das Ziel der Abschlussarbeit. Dazu wird mithilfe einer Literaturanalyse und einer Fallstudie das Framework validiert und ergänzt, sowie weitere Handlungsempfehlungen identifiziert. Als Ergebnis werden die wichtigsten Erkenntnisse dieser Forschung zusammengefasst und für den zukünftigen Gebrauch festgehalten.
Polsearchine: Implementation of a policy-based search engine for regulating information flows
(2013)
Many search engines regulate Internet communication in some way. It is often difficult for end users to notice such regulation, as well as obtaining background information for it. Additionally, the regulation can usually be circumvented easily. This bachelor thesis presents the prototypical metasearch engine "Polsearchine" for addressing these weaknesses. Its regulation is established through InFO, a model for regulating information flows developed by Kasten and Scherp. More precisely, the extension for regulating search engines SEFCO is being used. For retrieving search results, Polsearchine uses an external search engine API. The API can be interchanged easily to make this metasearch engine independent from one specific API.

Forwarding loops
(2013)
This work deals with the migration of software systems towards the use of the character set defined in the Unicode standard. The work is performed as a case study on the document-management-system PROXESS. A conversion process will be designed that defines the working-steps of the migration for the entire system as well as an arbitrary decomposition of the system into individual modules. The working-steps for each module can be performed chronologically independent of each other to a great extend. For the conversion of the implementation, an approach of automatic recognition of usage patterns is applied. The approach aims at searching the abstract syntax tree for sequences of program instructions that can be assigned to a certain usage pattern. The usage pattern defines another sequence of instructions that acts as an sample solution for that usage pattern. The sample solution demonstrates the Unicode-based management of strings for that usage pattern. By applying a transformation rule, the original sequence of instructions is transferred to the sequence of instructions exposed by the sample solution of the related usage pattern. This mechanism is a starting point for the development of tools that perform this transformation automatically.

This work is concerned with creating a 2D action-adventure with roleplay elements. It provides an overview over various tasks of the implementation. First, the game idea and the used gamemechanism are verified and a definfinition of requirements is created. After introducing the used framework, the software engineering concept for realization is presented. The implementation of control components, game editor, sound and graphics is shown. The graphical implementation pays special attention to the abstraction of light and shadow into the 2D game world.
Iterative Signing of RDF(S) Graphs, Named Graphs, and OWL Graphs: Formalization and Application
(2013)
When publishing graph data on the web such as vocabulariesrnusing RDF(S) or OWL, one has only limited means to verify the authenticity and integrity of the graph data. Today's approaches require a high signature overhead and do not allow for an iterative signing of graph data. This paper presents a formally defined framework for signing arbitrary graph data provided in RDF(S), Named Graphs, or OWL. Our framework supports signing graph data at different levels of granularity: minimum self-contained graphs (MSG), sets of MSGs, and entire graphs. It supports for an iterative signing of graph data, e. g., when different parties provide different parts of a common graph, and allows for signing multiple graphs. Both can be done with a constant, low overhead for the signature graph, even when iteratively signing graph data.
Im Rahmen des "Design Thinking"-Prozesses kommen unterschiedliche Varianten kreativitätsfördernder Techniken zum Einsatz. Aufgrund der zunehmenden Globalisierung ergeben sich immer häufiger Kollaborationen, bei denen sich die jeweiligen Projektteilnehmer an verteilten Standorten befinden. Somit erweist sich die Digitalisierung des Design-Prozesses als durchaus erstrebenswert. Ziel der hier vorliegenden Untersuchung ist daher die Erstellung eines Bewertungsschemas, welches die Eignung digitaler Kreativitätstechniken in Bezug auf das "Entrepreneurial Design Thinking" misst. Des Weiteren soll geprüft werden, inwiefern sich der Einsatz von e-Learning-Systemen in Kombination mit der Verwendung digitaler Kreativitätstechniken eignet. Diese Prüfung soll am Beispiel der e-Learning Software "WebCT" konkretisiert werden. Hieraus ergibt sich die folgende Fragestellung: Welche digitalen Kreativitätstechniken eignen sich für die Anwendung im Bereich des "Entrepreneurial Design Thinkings" unter Einsatz der e-Learning Plattform "WebCT"? Zunächst wird eine Literaturanalyse bezüglich des "Entrepreneurial Design Thinkings", der klassische und digitale Kreativitätstechniken sowie des Arbeitens in Gruppen, was auch das Content Management, e-Learning-Systeme und die Plattform "WebCT" beinhaltet, durchgeführt. Im Anschluss daran wird eine qualitative Untersuchung durchgeführt. Auf Basis bereits bestehender Literatur, soll ein Bewertungsschema erstellt werden, welches misst, welche der behandelten digitalen Kreativitätstechniken für den Einsatz im "Entrepreneurial Design Thinking" am besten geeignet ist. Darauf aufbauend erfolgt die Verknüpfung des digitalisierten "Design Thinking"-Prozesses mit der e-Learning Plattform "WebCT". Abschließend wird diskutiert, in wie fern diese Zusammenführung als sinnvoll erachtet werden kann.
Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der volkswirtschaftlichen Untersuchung von Arbeit in virtuellen Welten und hat als Kerninhalt die Analyse des Arbeitsmarktes in "Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games" (MMORPGs). Als Ausgangsbasis diente zum einen der Faktor Arbeit in der Realität, zum anderen wurden zusätzliche Besonderheiten von MMORPGs in die Betrachtung miteinbezogen, woraus sich ein Gesamtbild des virtuellen Arbeitsmarkts ergab, aus dem sich relevante Indikatoren ableiten ließen. Neben dem grundsätzlichen Befund der Existenz eines virtuellen Arbeitsmarktes, wurden Ähnlichkeiten zum realen Arbeitsmarkt deutlich. So war es möglich virtuelle Stundenlöhne zu berechnen, unternehmensähnliche Strukturen in Spielergruppierungen nachzuweisen und ausgehend von der Humankapitaltheorie, eine modifizierte Theorie ("Avatarkapital") für virtuelle Welten zu ermitteln. Allerdings ergaben sich auch Unterschiede, so ist die Komplexität der Herstellungsprozesse in den untersuchten MMORPGs in der Regel weitaus geringer als in der Realität. Durch eine Gegenüberstellung von Motivationsfaktoren in beiden Arbeitswelten wurden weiterhin Gemeinsamkeiten, aber auch Unterschiede festgestellt und dargelegt. Zusätzlich wurde aufgezeigt, dass das aktuell diskutierte Thema Mindestlohn auch in virtuellen Arbeitsmärkten von MMORPGs anzutreffen ist und als Spielmechanik implementiert wurde, um Motivation durch andauernde Beschäftigung zu gewährleisten. Über diese Parallelen hinaus, wurde anhand einer Analyse von Waren- und Geldtransaktionen (Real-Money-Trading) zwischen Virtualität und Realität eine Verbindung beider Welten nachgewiesen, die beide Arbeitsmärkte gleichermaßen betrifft. Neben der theoretischen Untersuchung, war es auch Ziel eigene Beobachtungen und Ansätze in die Ergebnisse einfließen zu lassen. Besonders in der abschließenden empirischen Untersuchung war es somit möglich weitere Faktoren zu entdecken, die nicht ausreichend aus der Theorie heraus zu ermitteln waren. Vor allem weitere Erkenntnisse zum Thema Produktivitätsmessung in virtuellen Welten konnten so aus der Praxis in die Theorie einfließen. Schlussendlich wurde aber auch deutlich, dass sich die Untersuchungen zum Thema Arbeitsmarkt in virtuellen Welten noch in einem frühen Stadium befinden und zahlreiche Forschungsobjekte in diesem Bereich existieren, die mit Sicherheit zu einem Erkenntnisgewinn in der Volkswirtschaftslehre führen.
This paper presents a method for the evolution of SHI ABoxes which is based on a compilation technique of the knowledge base. For this the ABox is regarded as an interpretation of the TBox which is close to a model. It is shown, that the ABox can be used for a semantically guided transformation resulting in an equisatisfiable knowledge base. We use the result of this transformation to effciently delete assertions from the ABox. Furthermore, insertion of assertions as well as repair of inconsistent ABoxes is addressed. For the computation of the necessary actions for deletion, insertion and repair, the E-KRHyper theorem prover is used.

Various best practices and principles guide an ontology engineer when modeling Linked Data. The choice of appropriate vocabularies is one essential aspect in the guidelines, as it leads to better interpretation, querying, and consumption of the data by Linked Data applications and users.
In this paper, we present the various types of support features for an ontology engineer to model a Linked Data dataset, discuss existing tools and services with respect to these support features, and propose LOVER: a novel approach to support the ontology engineer in modeling a Linked Data dataset. We demonstrate that none of the existing tools and services incorporate all types of supporting features and illustrate the concept of LOVER, which supports the engineer by recommending appropriate classes and properties from existing and actively used vocabularies. Hereby, the recommendations are made on the basis of an iterative multimodal search. LOVER uses different, orthogonal information sources for finding terms, e.g. based on a best string match or schema information on other datasets published in the Linked Open Data cloud. We describe LOVER's recommendation mechanism in general and illustrate it alongrna real-life example from the social sciences domain.
This thesis describes the conception, implementation and evaluation of a collaborative multiplayer game for preschoolers for mobile devices.
The main object of this thesis is to find out, if mobile devices like smartphones and tablet computers are suitable for the interaction of children. In order to develop this kind of game relevant aspects were researched. On this basis a game was designed which was finally tested by preschoolers.
In a software reengineering task legacy systems are adapted computer-aided to new requirements. For this an efficient representation of all data and information is needed. TGraphs are a suitable representation because all vertices and edges are typed and may have attributes. Further more there exists a global sequence of all graph elements and for each vertex exists a sequence of all incidences. In this thesis the "Extractor Description Language" (EDL) was developed. It can be used to generate an extractor out of a syntax description, which is extended by semantic actions. The generated extractor can be used to create a TGraph representation of the input data. In contrast to classical parser generators EDL support ambiguous grammars, modularization, symbol table stacks and island grammars. These features simplify the creation of the syntax description. The collected requirements for EDL are used to determine an existing parser generator which is suitable to realize the requirements.
After that the syntax and semantics of EDL are described and implemented using the suitable parser generator. Following two extractors one for XML and one for Java are created with help of EDL. Finally the time they need to process some input data is measured.
Concept for a Knowledge Base on ICT for Governance and Policy Modelling regarding eGovPoliNet
(2013)
Abstract The EU project eGovPoliNet is engaged in research and development in the field of information and communication technologies (ICT) for governance and policy modelling. Numerous communities pursue similar goals in this field of IT-based, strategic decision making and simulation of social problem areas. Though, the existing research approaches and results so far are quite fragmented. The aim of eGovPoliNet is to overcome the fragmentation across disciplines and to establish an international, open dialogue by fostering the cooperation between research and practice. This dialogue will advance the discussion and development of various problem areas with the help of researchers from different disciplines, who share knowledge, expertise and best practice supporting policy analysis, modelling and governance. To support this dialogue, eGovPoliNet will provide a knowledge base, which's conceptual development is the subject of this thesis. The knowledge base is to be filled with content from the area of ICT for strategic decision making and social simulation, such as publications, ICT solutions and project descriptions. This content needs to be structured, organised and managed in a way, so that it generates added value and the knowledge base is used as source of accumulated knowledge, which consolidates the previously fragmented research and development results in a central location.
The aim of this thesis is the development of a concept for a knowledge base, which provides the structure and the necessary functionalities to gather and process knowledge concerning ICT solutions for governance and policy modelling. This knowledge needs to be made available to users and thereby motivate them to contribute to the development and maintenance of the knowledge base.
Das Vertrauen von jungen Erwachsenen in politische Beiträge aus Rundfunk, Print- und Digitalmedien
(2013)
Die Kernfrage dieser Bachelorarbeit ist, ob das Vertrauen in Medien auf die politische Einstellung wirkt und ob Mediennutzung auf diese Wirkungsrichtung Einfluss nimmt. Hierbei werden sowohl Mediengattungen als auch einzelne Medienformate differenziert betrachtet. Die politische Einstellung wird anhand der Einstellungsdimensionen Effektivität der Regierung, Legitimität der Regierung, Einflussüberzeugung, Responsivität der politischen Akteure und Integrität der politischen Akteure operationalisiert. Hierbei wird der Fokus auf junge Erwachsene gelegt, welchen verbreitet Politikverdrossenheit nachgesagt wird.
Zur Prüfung des Zusammenhangs zwischen Medienvertrauen und der politischen Einstellung wird eine quantitative Online-Befragung der Studenten/ Studentinnen der Universität Koblenz (N = 496) durchgeführt. Zur Datenauswertung werden Regressionsanalysen sowie die ANOVA angewandt. Die Ergebnisse weisen nicht auf eine allgemeine negative politische Grundhaltung junger Erwachsenen hin. Zudem indizieren die Resultate, dass das Vertrauen in Medien einen signifikanten Effekt auf die politische Einstellung hat (p ≤ .05). Mediennutzung hat hingegen unzureichende Erklärungskraft. Auch in zukünftigen Studien würde es sich anbieten, das Medienvertrauen als zentrale unabhängige Variable zu untersuchen, wobei ein Generationenvergleich unterschiedlicher Bildungsschichten empfehlenswert wäre.
A Kinect device has the ability to record color and depth images simultaneously. This thesis is an attempt to use the depth image to manipulate lighting information and material properties in the color image. The presented method of lighting and material manipulation needs a light simulation of the lighting conditions at the time of recording the image. It is used to transform information from a new light simulation directly back into the color image. Since the simulations are performed on a three-dimensional model, a way is searched to generate a model out of single depth image. At the same time the text will react to the problems of the depth data acquisition of the Kinect sensor. An editor is designed to make lighting and material manipulations possible. To generate a light simulation, some simple, real-time capable rendering methods and lighting modells are proposed. They are used to insert new illumination, shadows and reflections into the scene. Simple environments with well defined lighting conditions are manipulated in experiments to show boundaries and possibilities of the device and the techniques being used.
E-KRHyper is a versatile theorem prover and model generator for firstorder logic that natively supports equality. Inequality of constants, however, has to be given by explicitly adding facts. As the amount of these facts grows quadratically in the number of these distinct constants, the knowledge base is blown up. This makes it harder for a human reader to focus on the actual problem, and impairs the reasoning process. We extend E-Hyper- underlying E-KRhyper tableau calculus to avoid this blow-up by implementing a native handling for inequality of constants. This is done by introducing the unique name assumption for a subset of the constants (the so called distinct object identifiers). The obtained calculus is shown to be sound and complete and is implemented into the E-KRHyper system.
