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.
This thesis deals with problems, which occure when rendering stereoscopic contents. These problems are elaborated, simulated with the help of a program developed in this thesis and evaluated by a group of volunteers. Thereby it shall be determined, whether the errors are noticeable and how much they influence the 3D effect of the stereoscopic images. Each error is simulated using different camera assemblies and evaluated depending on the choosen assembly.
The following thesis analyses the functionality and programming capabilitiesrnof compute shaders. For this purpose, chapter 2 gives an introductionrnto compute shaders by showing how they work and how they can be programmed. In addition, the interaction of compute shaders and OpenGL 4.3 is shown through two introductory examples. Chapter 3 describes an NBodyrnsimulation that has been implemented in order to show the computational power of compute shaders and the use of shared memory. Then it is shown in chapter 4 how compute shaders can be used for physical simulationsrnand where problems may arise. In chapter 5 a specially conceived and implemented algorithm for detecting lines in images is described and then compared with the Hough transform. Lastly, a final conclusion is drawn in chapter 6.
This bachelor thesis deals with the topic "user-friendly design of applications (apps)" on mobile devices, a subdomain of software-ergonomics. In the process, two applications are being analyzed with the aim of developing a solution on how support on a mobile device should be conducted. This study focuses primarily on appropriate gestures to coordinate the 'help function' on a mobile device. The study results show that the test persons request a customized help function, but reject an extensive help description, as this seems to be overwhelming for the user.
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.
Die Arbeit stellt Path Tracing zum Rendern von Bildern mitrnglobaler Beleuchtung vor. Durch die Berechnung der Rendergleichung, mithilfe von Zufallsexperimenten, ist das Verfahren physikalisch plausibel. Entscheidend für die Qualität der Ergebnisse ist Sampling. Der Schwerpunktrnder Arbeit ist die Untersuchung verschiedener Samplingstrategien. Dazu werden die Ergebnisse unterschiedlicher Dichtefunktionen verglichenrnund die Methoden bewertet. Außerdem werden Effekte, wie beispielsweise Depth of Field, mittels Sampling visualisiert.
Recipients" youtube comments to the five most successful songs of 2011 and 2012 are tested for nostalgic content. These nostalgic relevant comments are analyzed by content and finally interpreted. It shall be found out, whether nostalgic music content is a factor for success. By using the uses and gratifications theory the recipients" purpose of consuming nostalgic-evoking music will be identified. Music is a clearly stronger trigger for evoking nostalgia than the music video whereas nostalgia triggers positive and/or negative affect. Furthermore personal nostalgia is much more evident than historical nostalgia. Moreover the lyrics have a considerably higher potential to elicit nostalgia than any other song units. Persons and momentous events are the most frequent objects in personal nostalgic reverie. The purpose of consuming nostalgic music is the intended evocation of positive and/or negative affect. Hence nostalgia in music seems to satisfy certain needs and it can be assumed that nostalgia is a factor of success in music industry.
Due to the increasing pervasiveness of the mobile web, it is possible to send and receive mails with mobile devices. Content of digital communication should be encrypted to prevent eavesdropping and manipulation. Corresponding procedures use cryptographic keys, which have to be exchange previously. It has to be ensured, that a cryptographic key really belongs to the person, who it is supposedly assigned to. Within the scope of this thesis a concept for a smartphone application to exchange cryptographic keys was designed. The concept consists of a specification of a component-based framework, which can be used to securely exchange data in general. This framework was extended and used as the basis for a smartphone application. The application allows creating, managing and exchanging cryptographic keys. The Near Field Communication is used for the exchange. Implemented security measures prevent eavesdropping and specific manipulation. In the future the concept and the application can be extended and adjusted to be used in other contexts.
In this thesis, a first prototype of a mobile instruction device with mixed reality (MR) funktionality is developed. This system shall be capable to support training on the job through interaction with the work item. The concept corresponds to a didactic approach presented by Martens-Parree that combines constructivism with situated learning. As an application example, the training of glider pilots checked out on a new type was chosen. Whether the MR device could increase the competence, or facilitiate the completion of certain tasks, was examined in a survey with fifteen testers. The results of the study show that in general, the didactic approach of Martens-Parree is valid. While an increase in fact knowledge has been observed, it was not (yet) possible to demonstrate an increase in skills with respect to the work tasks.
