Gartner predicts that 33 per cent of total accesses to Business Intelligence (BI) functionalities will be done until 2013 using mobile devices. While mobile devices have already spread to a high extent in private life they have recently become more and more part of the professional life as well and businesses are seeking to develop smart scenarios on how to integrate the new technologies in their processes. The development of mobile software applications is also booming in the field of BI. The research topic of Mobile Business Intelligence (mBI) is focussing on how to expand traditional BI concepts to the new mobility dimension thus enabling to apply BI functionalities on mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablet computers. The increasing significance of mBI for research in combination with the tremendous economic growth potential forecasted for the next years is the driver for writing this thesis. The main aspect of the present thesis is a concept on how to develop a consistent mBI Strategy aligning all structures, processes and stakeholders to one standard set of goals and guidelines. Crucial points when implementing an mBI strategy are the definition of goals, the identification of risks and opportunities, the adaptation of mBI to the user context, the integration of mBI into the existing IT landscape, as well as a proper set-up of system architectures and security concepts. Besides analyzing the aspect of mBI strategy this thesis also considers the market situation of mBI. Clearly defined goals and the systematic development of a consistent mBI strategy which is in line with these goals can be considered as a crucial prerequisite for companies to successfully implement mBI.
Especially e-government projects have a complex stakeholder structure: governments, businesses, non-profits and private stakeholders in different forms and roles are involved or affected by e-government projects. Consequently, the success of ICT projects critically depends on the integration of different stakeholder groups in the design processes of e-government solutions. In this context, stakeholder participation is sought therefore useful initiatives like open government and good governance drive this process forward. Although it is important to analyze the objectives, expectations and power characteristics of project participants and project stakeholders, the determinations of the stakeholder groups through a so called stakeholder analysis are insufficiently methodically developed.
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to pick up the stakeholder theories, stakeholder participation theories, stakeholder analysis and transfer it to an administrative level as well as to check their applicability. This will be done by explaining and systematizing appropriate procedures for the classification and mapping of stakeholder groups, through well-known stakeholder theories of Freeman, Mitchel and Rowley. In order to generate recommendations for future e-government projects, the application of stakeholder theories in two e-government projects with stakeholder involvement will be reviewed. It is also important to work out how stakeholder groups can be actively involved in the developmental processes in concrete e-government projects by using Web 2.0 possibilities. The role of Web 2.0 applications as an additional channel of communication and participation tool will be presented and evaluated.
The result is a guide, which supports successful participation of stakeholders in projects, by analyzing the process for stakeholder identification, stakeholder grouping and prioritization and showing instructions and benefits for using Web 2.0.
This doctoral thesis concerns the theoretical basis, development and validation of a multipart instrument to provide students of educational sciences with some feedback about their competence-development (instrument KIPBI) and report to their experiences in practical training (instrument EIPRA). It thus supports the reflection capability of the student teachers. Both instruments are part of an online self-assessment (Tour 3-RLP), which is similar to the Career-Counselling for Teachers (CCT, see cct-germany.de) but unlike this, does not focus on ability but on competence-development. The instruments serve to promote the professional development of student teachers. This is a goal of the reformed concept of teacher training in Rhineland-Palatinate, the so-called KMK-standards for teacher training and education, the Rhineland-Palatinate "Framework School Quality" as well as of handouts and manuals for the implementation of in-depth practical training in teacher education. The first part of this dissertation describes the theoretical framework for the development of instruments for the "CCT-Tour 3-RLP" starting with the issue of professionalization in teacher profession. Historical dimensions and their associated approaches to teacher education research are manifold. They range from the aspect of "teacher personality" to the implementation of teaching-standards and standards for teacher education and output orientation. While within the 60s and 70s the personality approach was pivotal in teacher education research, nowadays expertise-development and models of skills-development are discussed as central issues. Therefore, the theory section describes the influence of previous research-paradigms and their semantic content upon the current trend. As one part of the analysis the construct of "teacher self-efficacy" will be explained, along topological and typological models of competence-development.
Furthermore the practical elements of teacher education and their contribution to the professionalization of future teachers are presented. Professional reflection is assumed to be a basis for developing expertise. Therefore it is necessary to investigate how theoretical knowledge can be "transferred" to practical performance. A unifying theory connecting the integration hypothesis (assuming that knowledge is directly transferable into practice) with the differentiation hypothesis (teacher skills form their own knowledgebase independent from both theoretical and practical knowledge) is provided by cognitive psychology (particularly by research on expertise). Endpoint of the theoretical discourse is the evaluation of the referred theoretical positions and their meaning for the Rhineland-Palatinate reform of teacher education and teacher training and the role that the "Tour 3-RLP" is going to play in this context.In the empirical part the methodical and methodological steps for validation of the instruments are discussed. At first the Swiss standards for teacher profession (developed by the Pädagogische Hochschule Schwyz, Central Switzerland) are presented. They can serve as a model building a competency-oriented tool that refers to competency stages.
An analysis of various methods for the setting of cut-scores aiming to develop appropriate competency levels is also a fundament for the procedures developed in the context of the empirical investigations. The results of the pilot-study and a follow-up study conducted with both described instruments (KIPBI and EIPRA) show that the instruments for competence-measurement fulfil the requirements of psychometric criteria (like a scale-structure) and tend to support student teachers´ self-reflection. Core concern of both instruments is the promotion of students, realized by the online-self-assessment by the use of appropriate feedback structures and related recommendations for action.The final chapter of this thesis includes the discussion of the results of the validation and implementation study. This final view is devoted to the question whether or not competency-modeling or standard-based approaches to professionalization are the only possible accesses to map and explain skills development. The role of reflection seems to be important for both the integral and the differential approach and interconnects them.
Die wesentliche Zielsetzung der Bachelor-Arbeit war es, entlang der Anforderungen an DMS/WMS aus dem DOMEA-Konzept und aus dem Kommunalen Gebietsrechenzentrum Koblenz (KGRZ) verschiedene Systeme zu evaluieren. Weiteres Ziel war es, ein System, das die Anforderungen am besten erfüllt, zu identifizieren. Entlang der Evaluation wurde exemplarisch der Workflow des KGRZ untersucht, bewertet und ggf. angepasst. Des Weiteren wurde auf die Frage eingegangen, ob ein einheitliches System im Rahmen des Föderalismus nicht nur in Koblenz sondern auch Rheinland-Pfalz weit eingesetzt werden kann, oder ob ämterspezifische Lösungen vorteilhafter sind.
Replikation einer Multi-Agenten-Simulationsumgebung zur Überprüfung auf Integrität und Konsistenz
(2012)
In dieser Master -Arbeit möchte ich zunächst eine Simulation vorstellen, mit der das Verhalten von Agenten untersucht wird, die in einer generierten Welt versuchen zu über leben und dazu einige Handlungsmöglichkeiten zur Auswahl haben. Anschließend werde ich kurz die theoretischen Aspekte beleuchten, welche hier zu Grunde liegen. Der Hauptteil meiner Arbeit ist meine Replikation einer Simulation, die von Andreas König im Jahr 2000 in Java angefertigt worden ist [Kö2000] . Ich werde hier seine Arbeit in stark verkürzter Form darstellen und anschließend auf meine eigene Entwicklung eingehen.
Im Schlussteil der Arbeit werde ich die Ergebnisse meiner Simulation mit denen von Andreas König vergleichen und die verwendeten Werkzeuge (Java und NetLogo) besprechen. Zum Abschluss werde ich in einem Fazit mein Vorhaben kurz zusammenfassen und berichten was sich umsetzen ließ, was nicht funktioniert hat und warum.
Opinion Mining : Using Twitter as a source of opinion for the prediction of stock market prices
(2012)
Neben den theoretischen Grundkonzepten der automatisierten Fließtextanalyse, die das Fundament dieser Arbeit bilden, soll ein Überblick in den derzeitigen Forschungsstand bei der Analyse von Twitter-Nachrichten gegeben werden. Hierzu werden verschiedene Forschungsergebnisse der, derzeit verfügbaren wissenschaftlichen Literatur erläutert, miteinander verglichen und kritisch hinterfragt. Deren Ergebnisse und Vorgehensweisen sollen in unsere eigene Forschung mit eingehen, soweit sie sinnvoll erscheinen. Ziel ist es hierbei, den derzeitigen Forschungsstand möglichst gut zu nutzen.
Ein weiteres Ziel ist es, dem Leser einen Überblick über verschiedene maschinelle Datenanalysemethoden zur Erkennung von Meinungen zu geben. Dies ist notwendig, um die Bedeutung der im späteren Verlauf der Arbeit eingesetzten Analysemethoden in ihrem wissenschaftlichen Kontext besser verstehen zu können. Da diese Methoden auf verschiedene Arten durchgeführt werden können, werden verschiedene Analysemethoden vorgestellt und miteinander verglichen. Hierdurch soll die Machbarkeit der folgenden Meinungsauswertung bewiesen werden. Um eine hinreichende Genauigkeit bei der folgenden Untersuchung zu gewährleisten, wird auf ein bereits bestehendes und evaluiertes Framework zurückgegriffen. Dieses ist als API 1 verfügbar und wird daher zusätzlich behandelt. Der Kern Inhalt dieser Arbeit wird sich der Analyse von Twitternachrichten mit den Methoden des Opinion Mining widmen.
Es soll untersucht werden, ob sich Korrelationen zwischen der Meinungsausprägung von Twitternachrichten und dem Börsenkurs eines Unternehmens finden lassen. Es soll dabei die Stimmungslage der Firma Google Inc. über einen Zeitraum von einem Monat untersucht und die dadurch gefunden Erkenntnisse mit dem Börsenkurs des Unternehmens verglichen werden. Ziel ist es, die Erkenntnisse von (Sprenger & Welpe, 2010) und (Taytal & Komaragiri, 2009) auf diesem Gebiet zu überprüfen und weitere Fragestellungen zu beantworten.
A trending topic in Semantic Web research deals with the processing of queries over Linked Open Data (LOD). As has been shown in literature, the loose nature of the "web of data" and data sources within can be accounted for by employing federated query processing strategies. This approach, however, is all the more dependent on both up-to-date statistical summaries (data statistics) of the sources in use and accurate and precise estimation of cardinalities and selectivities. In general, federated data sources are to be seen as black-boxes w.r.t. data statistics, as no interchange of such information can be expected. Because of this, it is possible for individual data statistics to become obsolete, if the corresponding source is subjected to data changes cumulating over time. In this thesis an adaptive system is being proposed, that complements a given RDF-based query federator. Through observation and analysis of the error of the cardinality estimation of incoming queries, it tries to infer the obsolescence of individual data statistics, triggering updates of data statistics found to be obsolete. An evaluation of the system shows, that the approach to this solution is plausible. Yet, in practice no satisfying results could be acquired, that would prove a true practicality. Still, parts of the system proposed may be re-used for related tasks that could be more promising.
