This paper describes the robots TIAGo and Lisa used by team homer@UniKoblenz of the University of Koblenz-Landau, Germany, for the participation at the RoboCup@Home 2018 in Montreal, Canada. Further this paper serves as qualification material for the RoboCup-@Home participation in 2018. A special focus is put on novel system components and the open source contributions of our team. This year the team from Koblenz won the biggest annual scientianc robot competition in Montreal in the RoboCup@Home Open Platform track for the third time and also won the RoboCup@Home German Open for the second time. As a research highlight a novel symbolic imitation learning approach was demonstrated during the annals. The TIAGo robotic research platform was used for the first time by the team. We have released packages for object recognition, a robot face including speech synthesis, mapping and navigation, speech recognition interface via android and a GUI. The packages are available (and new packages will be released) on http://wiki.ros.org/agas-ros-pkg. Further information can be found on our project page http://homer.uni-koblenz.de.

In this bachelor thesis a code for astrophysical self-gravitating fluid simulation is developed. The code runs mainly on the GPU. Minimal simplifications of the physical model and some parameters for accuracy and tuning allow simulations to be performed at interactive framerates on most modern consumer grade computers that feature a dedicated graphics card. It is used to simulate the birth of stars from a turbulent molecular cloud. Multiple features of star formation, like accretion discs and fragmentation, can be observed in the simulation, even when low particle counts are used.

With global and distributed project teams being increasingly common Collaborative Project Management is becoming the prevalent paradigm for the work in most organisations. Software has for many years been one of the most used tools for supporting Project Management and with the focus on Collaborative Project Management and accompanied by the emergence of Enterprise Collaboration Systems (ECS), Collaborative Project Management Software (CPMS) is gaining increased attention. This thesis examines the capabilities of CPMS for the long-term management of information which not only includes the management of files within these systems, but the management of all types of digital business documents, particularly social business documents. Previous research shows that social content in collaboration software is often poorly managed which poses challenges to meeting performance and conformance objectives in a business. Based on literature research, requirements for the long-term management of information in CPMS are defined and 7 CPMS tools are analysed regarding the content they contain and the functionalities for the long-term management of this content they offer. The study shows that CPMS by and large are not able to meet the long-term information management needs of an organisation on their own and that only the tools geared towards enterprise customers have sufficient capabilities to support the implementation of an Enterprise Information Management strategy.

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.
