Visual effects and elements in video games and interactive virtual environments can be applied to transfer (or delegate) non-visual perceptions (e.g. proprioception, presence, pain) to players and users, thus increasing perceptual diversity via the visual modality. Such elements or efects are referred to as visual delegates (VDs). Current fndings on the experiences that VDs can elicit relate to specifc VDs, not to VDs in general. Deductive and comprehensive VD evaluation frameworks are lacking. We analyzed VDs in video games to generalize VDs in terms of their visual properties. We conducted a systematic paper analysis to explore player and user experiences observed in association with specifc VDs in user studies. We conducted semi-structured interviews with expert players to determine their preferences and the impact of VD properties. The resulting VD framework (VD-frame) contributes to a more strategic approach to identifying the impact of VDs on player and user experiences.
To avoid the shortcomings of traditional monolithic applications, the Microservices Architecture (MSA) style plays an increasingly important role in providing business services. This is true even for the more conventional insurance industry with its highly heterogeneous application landscape and sophisticated cross-domain business processes. Therefore, the question arises of how workflows can be implemented to grant the required flexibility and agility and, on the other hand, to exploit the potential of the MSA style. In this article, we present two different approaches – orchestration and choreography. Using an application scenario from the insurance domain, both concepts are discussed. We introduce a pattern that outlines the mapping of a workflow to a choreography.
Even for the more traditional insurance industry, the Microservices Architecture (MSA) style plays an increasingly important role in provisioning insurance services. However, insurance businesses must operate legacy applications, enterprise software, and service-based applications in parallel for a more extended transition period. The ultimate goal of our ongoing research is to design a microservice reference architecture in cooperation with our industry partners from the insurance domain that provides an approach for the integration of applications from different architecture paradigms. In Germany, individual insurance services are classified as part of the critical infrastructure. Therefore, German insurance companies must comply with the Federal Office for Information Security requirements, which the Federal Supervisory Authority enforces. Additionally, insurance companies must comply with relevant laws, regulations, and standards as part of the business’s compliance requirements. Note: Since Germany is seen as relatively ’tough’ with respect to privacy and security demands, fullfilling those demands might well be suitable (if not even ’over-achieving’) for insurances in other countries as well. The question raises thus, of how insurance services can be secured in an application landscape shaped by the MSA style to comply with the architectural and security requirements depicted above. This article highlights the specific regulations, laws, and standards the insurance industry must comply with. We present initial architectural patterns to address authentication and authorization in an MSA tailored to the requirements of our insurance industry partners.
Context: Companies adapt agile methods, practices or artifacts for their use in practice since more than two decades. This adaptions result in a wide variety of described agile practices. For instance, the Agile Alliance lists 75 different practices in its Agile Glossary. This situation may lead to misunderstandings, as agile practices with similar names can be interpreted and used differently.
Objective: This paper synthesize an integrated list of agile practices, both from primary and secondary sources.
Method: We performed a tertiary study to identify existing overviews and lists of agile practices in the literature. We identified 876 studies, of which 37 were included.
Results: The results of our paper show that certain agile practices are listed and used more often in existing studies. Our integrated list of agile practices comprises 38 entries structured in five categories. Conclusion: The high number of agile practices and thus, the wide variety increased steadily over the past decades due to the adaption of agile methods. Based on our findings, we present a comprehensive overview of agile practices. The research community benefits from our integrated list of agile practices as a potential basis for future research. Also, practitioners benefit from our findings, as the structured overview of agile practices provides the opportunity to select or adapt practices for their specific needs.
In 2020, the world changed due to the Covid 19 pandemic. Containment measures to reduce the spread of the virus were planned and implemented by many countries and companies. Worldwide, companies sent their employees to work from home. This change has led to significant challenges in teams that were co-located before the pandemic. Agile software development teams were affected by this switch, as agile methods focus on communication and collaboration. Research results have already been published on the challenges of switching to remote work and the effects on agile software development teams. This article presents a systematic literature review. We identified 12 relevant papers for our studies and analyzed them on detail. The results provide an overview how agile software development teams reacted to the switch to remote work, e.g., which agile practices they adapted. We also gained insights on the changes of the performance of agile software development teams and social effects on agile software development teams during the pandemic.
Companies worldwide have enabled their employees to work remotely as a consequence of the Covid 19 pandemic. Software development is a human-centered discipline and thrives on teamwork. Agile methods are focusing on several social aspects of software development. Software development teams in Germany were mainly co-located before the pandemic. This paper aims to validate the findings of existing studies by expanding on an existing multiple-case study. Therefore, we collected data by conducting semi-structured interviews, observing agile practices, and viewing project documents in three cases. Based on the results, we can confirm the following findings: 1) The teams rapidly adapted the agile practices and roles, 2) communication is more objective within the teams, 3) decreased social exchange between team members, 4) the expectation of a combined approach of remote and onsite work after the pandemic, 5) stable or increased (perceived) performance and 6) stable or increased well-being of team members.
Bis heute ist völlig unbekannt, ob wir allein im Universum sind. Um auf dieses Thema eine Antwort zu finden, überprüft diese Bachelorarbeit, ob Convolutional (CNN) und Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) für die Erkennung außerirdischer Signale geeignet sind.
Das Ziel war dabei, in einem Datensatz bestehend aus Spektrogrammen mehr als 50% aller außerirdischer Signale zu erkennen, da nur so ein Neuronales Netzwerk ein besseres Resultat als eine zufällige Klassifikation liefert, bei der im Mittel 50% aller Signale erkannt werden.
Dabei zeigte sich, dass sich mit beiden Varianten der Neuronalen Netzwerke bis zu 90% aller Signale erkennen lassen, die Vorhersagen von CNNs allerdings verlässlicher sind. RNNs bieten hingegen aufgrund ihrer geringeren Größe einen deutlich leichtgewichtigeren Ansatz und führen zu einer signifikanten Speicherersparnis.
Daraus folgt, dass Neuronale Netzwerke bei der Suche nach außerirdischem Leben im Universum helfen können, um die Frage „Sind wir allein im Universum?“ endgültig zu beantworten.
Nowadays, problems related with solid waste management become a challenge for most countries due to the rising generation of waste, related environmental issues, and associated costs of produced wastes. Effective waste management systems at different geographic levels require accurate forecasting of future waste generation. In this work, we investigate how open-access data, such as provided from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), can be used for the analysis of waste data. The main idea of this study is finding the links between socioeconomic and demographic variables that determine the amounts of types of solid wastes produced by countries. This would make it possible to accurately predict at the country level the waste production and determine the requirements for the development of effective waste management strategies. In particular, we use several machine learning data regression (Support Vector, Gradient Boosting, and Random Forest) and clustering models (k-means) to respectively predict waste production for OECD countries along years and also to perform clustering among these countries according to similar characteristics. The main contributions of our work are: (1) waste analysis at the OECD country-level to compare and cluster countries according to similar waste features predicted; (2) the detection of most relevant features for prediction models; and (3) the comparison between several regression models with respect to accuracy in predictions. Coefficient of determination (R2), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), respectively, are used as indices of the efficiency of the developed models. Our experiments have shown that some data pre-processings on the OECD data are an essential stage required in the analysis; that Random Forest Regressor (RFR) produced the best prediction results over the dataset; and that these results are highly influenced by the quality of available socio-economic data. In particular, the RFR model exhibited the highest accuracy in predictions for most waste types. For example, for “municipal” waste, it produced, respectively, R2 = 1 and MAPE = 4.31 global error values for the test set; and for “household” waste, it, respectively, produced R2 = 1 and MAPE = 3.03. Our results indicate that the considered models (and specially RFR) all are effective in predicting the amount of produced wastes derived from input data for the considered countries.
Die Arbeit hat das Ziel, Volumendaten effizient zu visualisieren, ohne diese in ein alternatives Repräsentationsformat wie Polygonnetze zu überführen. Dafür werden Voxel sowie ein Raycasting-Ansatz verwendet. Die Elemente des Volumens werden als Voxel (=volumetrische Pixel), das Volumen nachfolgend als ein dreidimensionales Array aus Voxel bezeichnet. Für jeden Pixel wird ein Strahl erzeugt, der das Array iterativ traversiert, wobei in jeder Iteration geprüft wird, ob das gegebene Volumenelement ein Datum hält oder nicht. Maßgeblich hierfür ist der von (Amanatides, Woo et al., 1987) vorgestellte Ansatz, den Strahl in solche Segmente zu zerlegen, die immer jeweils so lang wie der momentan zu untersuchende Voxel groß ist: In einer Iteration wird also immer genau ein Voxel untersucht. Die Arbeit wird diese Idee verfolgen, praktisch aber anders umsetzen und sie um eine zusätzliche Beschleunigungsstruktur ergänzen. Im Idealfall soll dieser Ansatz es erlauben, mindestens 512^3 Voxel in Echtzeit zu rendern. Der beschriebene Ansatz hat zusätzlich den Vorteil, dass Änderungen direkt sichtbar werden, weil für das anschließende Rendering, auf die modifizierten Daten zurückgegriffen wird.
Im ländlichen Raum können Mobilitätsbedarfe schwer über den öffentlichen Personennahverkehr gedeckt werden. Wie diese Bedarfslücke über den Einsatz kombinierter Transportkonzepte von Personen und Gütern reduziert werden kann, wird prototypisch über eine agentenbasierte Simulationsanwendung in der Simulationssoftware AnyLogic untersucht. Reale Mobilitätsdaten werden dabei jedoch nicht berücksichtigt.
Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist die Verbesserung der Datengrundlage des Prototypen mit Hilfe von Machine Learning. Unter Verwendung des Forschungsansatzes Design Science Research wurden ML-Modelle entlang des CRISP-DM Frameworks entwickelt. Diese verarbeiten die zur Verfügung stehenden Mobilitätsdaten und können nach deren Integration in den Prototypen zur Parametrierung genutzt werden. Im Zuge der Arbeit werden dazu geeignete Parameter identifiziert, die Mobilitätsdaten beschafft und umfangreich für das Modelltraining in H2O Driverless AI transformiert. Das beste ML-Modell wird in den Prototypen integriert und es werden notwendige Anpassungen vorgenommen, um die Parametrierung zu ermöglichen. Die anschließende Evaluation der Simulationsanwendung zeigt eine datenbasierte und realitätsgetreuere Simulation des simultanen und kombinierten Transports von Personen und Gütern.
