Bei der Konzeption und Entwicklung der BID-Studiengänge ist neben den inhaltlichen und studienorganisatorischen Überlegungen die Ableitung und Entwicklung realistischer Planungsdaten eine der Hauptaufgaben des Modellversuchs BID und eine wesentliche Voraussetzung für ihre erfolgreiche Umsetzung in die Praxis gewesen. Auf diese Planungsergebnisse und die Umsetzung wird in diesem Beitrag vor allem einzugehen sein.
Da mit wachsender Verwendung von Kunststoffen für konstruktive Anwendungen deren Klebbarkeit immer größere Bedeutung erhält und Vorbehandlungen mit umweltbelastenden Verfahren nur mit Vorbehalt eigesetzt werden können, dürften umweltfreundliche Verbehandlungen, wie die Vorbehandlung im Niederdruckplasma, im Folgenden kurz NDP-Vorbehandlung genannt, eine steigende Bedeutung erlangen. Die Umweltfreundlichkeit des Verfahrens ist darin begründet, dass keine verbrauchten Beizbäder anfallen, die mit hohem Aufwand beseitigt werden müssen, und dass der Prozess in einem geschlossenem System abläuft und somit ein unkontrolliertes Entweichen von Schadstoffen nicht möglich ist. Bei der Ndp-Behandlung gegebenenfalls entstehende Schadstoffe fallen nur in sehr geringem Umfang an und können leicht abgefangen und nachbehandelt werden. Da die verwendeten Gase nicht giftig sind, geht von ihnen keine Gefährdung aus.
In vielen Fällen muss vor dem Kleben eine Klebflächenbehandlung durchgeführt werden, da Klebverbindungen mit unvorbehandelten Teilen häufig zu geringe Klebfestigkeiten und/oder eine unzureichende Alterungsbeständigkeit aufweisen. Zur Klebflächenbehandlung stehen unterschiedliche Verfahren zur Verfügung. Wenn mit mehreren Behandlungen klebtechnisch einwandfreie Verbindungen hergestellt werden können, gilt es, das Verfahren zu ermitteln, welches am besten in den Fertigungsfluss integriert werden kann und die geringsten Kosten verursacht. Dabei muss auch die Arbeitssicherheit und der Umweltschutz mit beachtet werden. Zur Beurteilung der Verfahren werden Bewertungskriterien gegeben. Die Verfahren werden abschließend kurz charakterisiert.

Das Referat klärt zuerst, was man unter "Didaktik der Pflege" versteht und inwieweit allgemeindidaktische Zielsetzungen eine Bedeutung für die Pflegeausbildung haben. Dann werden wichtige didaktische Kriterien für die Auswahl von Inhalten der Pflegeausbildung erörtert und gleichzeitig werden Fragestellungen für eine zukünftige Pflegedidaktik formuliert.
Vorgestellt wird ein Ansatz zur objektorientierten Modellierung, Simulation und Animation von Informationssystemen. Es wird ein Vorgehensmodell dargestellt, mit dem unter Verwendung des beschriebenen Ansatzes Anforderungs- oder Systemspezifikationen von Rechnergestützten Informationssystemen erstellt werden können. Der Ansatz basiert auf einem Metamodell zur Beschreibung Rechnergestützter Informationssysteme und verfügt über eine rechnergestützte Modellierungsumgebung. Anhand eines Projektes zur Entwicklung einer Anforderungsspezifikation für ein rechnergestütztes Pflegedokumentations- und -kommunikationssystems wird der Einsatz der Methode beispielhaft illustriert.
This paper presents a possibility to extend the formalism of linear indexed grammars. The extension is based on the use of tuples of pushdowns instead of one pushdown to store indices during a derivation. If a restriction on the accessibility of the pushdowns is used, it can be shown that the resulting formalisms give rise to a hierarchy of languages that is equivalent with a hierarchy defined by Weir. For this equivalence, that was already known for a slightly different formalism, this paper gives a new proof. Since all languages of Weir's hierarchy are known to be mildly context sensitive, the proposed extensions of LIGs become comparable with extensions of tree adjoining grammars and head grammars.
Veränderungen der Rechtsberufe durch neue Technologien - Beispiel: Wissensmanagement bei Anwälten
(2002)
Wissensmanagement ist eines der aktuellen Themen in Theorie und Praxis und wird in vielen verschiedenen Fachgebieten aufgegriffen. Für Anwälte wird die Berufsausübung derzeit durch mehrere verschiedene Entwicklungen geprägt – und zukünftig noch stärker geprägt werden - die zu einer anspruchsvollen Situation voller Herausforderungen führen. Viele der Entwicklungen haben unmittelbaren Bezug zu dem Umgang mit dem Wissen der Mitarbeiter und der Kanzlei und führen so zum Thema "Wissensmanagement bei Anwälten".
Autonomous mobile six-legged robots are able to demonstrate the potential of intelligent control systems based on recurrent neural networks. The robots evaluate only two forward and two backward looking infrared sensor signals. Fast converging genetic training algorithms are applied to train the robots to move straight in six directions. The robots performed successfully within an obstacle environment and there could be observed a never trained useful interaction between each of the single robots. The paper describes the robot systems and presents the test results. Video clips are downloadable under www.inform.fh-hannover.de/download/lechner.php. Held on IFAC International Conference on Intelligent Control Systems and Signal Processing (ICONS 2003, April 2003, Portugal).
All of us are aware of the changes in the information field during the last years. We all see the paradigm shift coming up and have some idea how it will challenge our profession in the future. But how the road to excellence - in education of information specialists in the future - will look like? There are different models (new and old ones) for reorganising the structure of education: * Integration * Specialisation * Step-by step-model * Modul System * Network System / Combination model The paper will present the actual level of discussion on building up a new curriculum at the Department of Information and Communication (IK) at the FH Hannover. Based on the mission statement of the department »Education of information professionals is a part of the dynamic evolution of knowledge society« the direction of change and the main goals will be presented. The different reorganisation models will be explained with its objectives, opportunities and forms of implementation. Some examples will show the ideas and tools for a first draft of a reconstruction plan to become fit for the future. This talk has been held at the German-Dutch University Conference »Information Specialists for the 21st Century« at the Fachhochschule Hannover - University of Applied Sciences, Department of Information and Communication, October 14 -15, 1999 in Hannover, Germany.

An der Bibliothek der Fachhochschule Hannover (FHH) ergab sich durch den Umzug eines Fachbereiches und die Auslagerung der entsprechenden Bestände die Chance, die defizitäre Situation bezüglich studentischer Arbeitsplätze zu verbessern. Das bisherige offene Konzept mit einem Nebeneinander von Medienaufstellung, Einzel- sowie Gruppenarbeitsplätzen hatte zu erheblichen Störungen der durchaus noch vorhandenen still lesenden Bibliotheksnutzern geführt. Die Zahl der Arbeitsplätze zu erhöhen und gleichzeitig die Arbeitsbedingungen hinsichtlich Akustik und Klimatisierung zu verbessern war deshalb vorrangiges Ziel eines studentischen Projektes des Studiengangs Innenarchitektur der FHH. Als Ergebnis entstand ein einheitliches Gesamtkonzept mit einer strikten Trennung der Funktionsbereiche und eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Einzelmaßnahmen (Nutzbare Atrien, Bibliothekslounge, Lernkabinen etc.). Nach der Entscheidung der Hochschulleitung, die Umbaumaßnahmen aus Studienbeiträgen zu finanzieren,wurde in Kooperation von Hochschule (Bibliotheksleitung, Liegenschaftsdezernat), Staatlichem Baumanagement, einem beauftragten freien Architekturbüro sowie einem Akustiker mit Planung und schrittweiser Realisierung der Umbaumaßnahmen begonnen. Im Vortrag werden das Konzept, der Planungsprozess sowie inzwischen (Stand: 5/2008) geplante und realisierte Baumaßnahmen anhand zahlreicher Illustrationen erläutert.
Our research project, "Rationalizing the virtualization of botanical document material and their usage by process optimization and automation (Herbar-Digital)" started on July 1, 2007 and will last until 2012. Its long-term aim is the digitization of the more than 3,5 million specimens in the Berlin Herbarium. The University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Hannover collaborates with the department of Biodiversity Informatics at the BGBM (Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum Berlin-Dahlem) headed by Walter Berendsohn. The part of Herbar-Digital here presented deals with the analysis of the generated high resolution images (10,400 lines x 7,500 pixel).
Das Forschungsprojekt „Herbar Digital” startete 2007 mit dem Ziel der Digitalisierung des Bestands von mehr als 3,5 Millionen getrockneter Pflanzen bzw. Pflanzenteile auf Papierbögen (Herbarbelege) des Botanischen Museums Berlin. Die Aufgabe des Autors ist die Analyse der hochaufgelösten Bilder mit 10400 Zeilen und 7500 Spalten. Die Herbarbelege können außerdem unterschiedliche Objekte enthalten wie Umschläge mit zusätzlichen Pflanzenteilen, gedruckte oder handgeschriebene Etiketten, Farbtabellen, Maßstäbe, Stempel, Barcodes, farbige „Typus-Etiketten“ und handschriftliche Anmerkungen direkt auf dem Beleg. Die schriftlichen Anmerkungen, insbesondere in Handschrift, sind von besonderem Interesse. Kommerzielle OCR-Software kann oftmals Schrift in komplexen Umgebungen nicht lokalisieren, wie sie häufig auf den Herbarbelegen vorliegt, auf denen Schrift zwischen Blättern, Wurzeln und anderen Objekten angeordnet ist. Im folgenden wird eine Methode vorgestellt, die es ermöglicht, Schriftpassagen im Bild automatisch zu finden.
Das Forschungsprojekt „Herbar Digital” [JKS00] startete 2007 mit dem Ziel der Digitalisierung des Bestands von mehr als 3,5 Millionen getrockneter Pflanzen bzw. Pflanzenteile auf Papierbögen (Herbarbelege) des Botanischen Museums Berlin. Da gelegentlich der Sammler der Pflanze unbekannt ist, wurde in der vorliegenden Arbeit ein Verfahren entwickelt, um aus kursiv geschriebenen Buchstaben deren Schreiber zu bestimmen. Dazu muss der statische Buchstabe in eine dynamische Form gebracht werden. Dies geschieht mit dem Modell einer trägen Kugel, die durch den Schriftzug rollt. Bei dieser Offline-Schreibererkennung werden verschiedene Verfahren wie die Nachbildung der Schreiblinie einzelner Buchstaben durch z.B. Legendre-Polynome verwendet. Bei Verwendung nur eines Buchstabens der Schreiber wird eine Erkennungsrate von durchschnittlich 40% erreicht. Durch Kombination von mehreren Buchstaben steigt die Erkennungsrate stark an und beträgt bei 13 Buchstaben und 93 Schreibern einer internationalen Datenbank 98,6%.
The methods developed in the research project "Herbar Digital" are to help plant taxonomists to master the great amount of material of about 3.5 million dried plants on paper sheets belonging to the Botanic Museum Berlin in Germany. Frequently the collector of the plant is unknown. So a procedure had to be developed in order to determine the writer of the handwriting on the sheet. In the present work the static character is transformed into a dynamic form. This is done with the model of an inert ball which is rolled through the written character. During this off-line writer recognition, different mathematical procedures are used such as the reproduction of the write line of individual characters by Legendre polynomials. When only one character is used, a recognition rate of about 40% is obtained. By combining multiple characters, the recognition rate rises considerably and reaches 98.7% with 13 characters and 93 writers (chosen randomly from the international IAM-database [3]). Another approach tries to identify the writer by handwritten words. The word is cut out and transformed into a 6-dimensional time series and compared e.g. by means of DTW-methods. A global statistical approach using the whole handwritten sentences results in a similar recognition rate of more than 98%. By combining the methods, a recognition rate of 99.5% is achieved.
An der Fachhochschule Hannover wurde Mitte 2007 das Projekt "Herbar-Digital" gestartet. In dem Forschungsprojekt "Herbar-Digital" sollen aus 3,5 Millionen Papierbögen (Herbarbelege) des Botanischen Museums Berlin möglichst alle Objekte erkannt werden und separat verarbeitbar sein. Bei den Objekten handelt es sich um Barcodes, Tüten, Stempel, Farbtabellen, Elemente aus dem Pflanzenbereich sowie Hand- und Druckschriften. Es soll unter Zuhilfenahme des ADA-BOOST-Algorithmus vom Verfasser eine Objekterkennung realisiert werden, die folgende Eigenschaften aufweist: Position der zu erkennenden Objekte im Bild variabel, auch dreidimensionale - und konturschwache Objekte müssen erkannt werden, gleiche Objekte unterschiedlicher Form müssen erkennbar sein, das System muss lernfähig sein.

Dieser Beitrag ist im Rahmen des Forschungsschwerpunktes Herbar Digital an der Fachhochschule Hannover entstanden. Es wird ein neuartiges Geschäftsprozessmodell für die Generierung und Digitalisierung von Herbarbelegen vorgestellt, in das mittels eines Prozessmusters eine Fertigungssteuerungskomponente eingebettet ist. Dieser Ansatz ist ein Beitrag zur Entwicklung eines präzisen Prozesscontrollings, das Herbarien ermöglichen soll, die massenhafte Digitalisierung von Herbarbelegen effizient durchzuführen.
Die Weltwirtschaftskrise des Jahres 1929 beendete ein „goldenes Zeitalter“. Sie veränderte nachhaltig die internationale Völkergemeinschaft, unter anderem in Bezug auf den Welthandel, die Finanzströme und die Arbeitslosigkeit. Die Auswirkungen unserer heutigen Krise scheinen vergleichbar, die Ausgangslage, Ursachen und Verantwortung sind jedoch grundverschieden.<br /> Kein Lehrbuch und keine Vorlesung haben uns auf diese Krisenform vorbereitet. Auch liegen keine wirtschaftspolitischen Erfahrungen vor, die als Grundlage zur Bewältigung einer Krise in dieser Dimension dienen könnten. Aber wir können– obgleich die Krise andauert – schon heute beobachten, dass die Konsequenzen anders ausfallen und zu langfristigen, einschneidenden Veränderungen führen.<br /> Mit unserer Fachveranstaltung bieten wir Erklärungsansätze und diskutieren über Verantwortung und Konsequenzen. Drei Beiträge führen aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven in das Thema ein.
The automated transfer of flight logbook information from aircrafts into aircraft maintenance systems leads to reduced ground and maintenance time and is thus desirable from an economical point of view. Until recently, flight logbooks have not been managed electronically in aircrafts or at least the data transfer from aircraft to ground maintenance system has been executed manually. Latest aircraft types such as the Airbus A380 or the Boeing 787 do support an electronic logbook and thus make an automated transfer possible. A generic flight logbook transfer system must deal with different data formats on the input side – due to different aircraft makes and models – as well as different, distributed aircraft maintenance systems for different airlines as aircraft operators. This article contributes the concept and top level distributed system architecture of such a generic system for automated flight log data transfer. It has been developed within a joint industry and applied research project. The architecture has already been successfully evaluated in a prototypical implementation.
Automatic classification of scientific records using the German Subject Heading Authority File (SWD)
(2012)
The following paper deals with an automatic text classification method which does not require training documents. For this method the German Subject Heading Authority File (SWD), provided by the linked data service of the German National Library is used. Recently the SWD was enriched with notations of the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC). In consequence it became possible to utilize the subject headings as textual representations for the notations of the DDC. Basically, we we derive the classification of a text from the classification of the words in the text given by the thesaurus. The method was tested by classifying 3826 OAI-Records from 7 different repositories. Mean reciprocal rank and recall were chosen as evaluation measure. Direct comparison to a machine learning method has shown that this method is definitely competitive. Thus we can conclude that the enriched version of the SWD provides high quality information with a broad coverage for classification of German scientific articles.
In recent years, multiple efforts for reducing energy usage have been proposed. Especially buildings offer high potentials for energy savings. In this paper, we present a novel approach for intelligent energy control that combines a simple infrastructure using low cost sensors with the reasoning capabilities of Complex Event Processing. The key issues of the approach are a sophisticated semantic domain model and a multi-staged event processing architecture leading to an intelligent, situation-aware energy management system.
In huge warehouses or stockrooms, it is often very difficult to find a certain item, because it has been misplaced and is therefore not at its assumed position. This position paper presents an approach on how to coordinate mobile RFID agents using a blackboard architecture based on Complex Event Processing.
Regional Innovation Systems describe the relations between actors, structures and infrastructures in a region in order to stimulate innovation and regional development. For these systems the collection and organization of information is crucial. In the present paper we investigate the possibilities to extract information from websites of companies. First we describe regional innovation systems and the information types that are necessary to create them. Then we discuss the possibilities of text mining and keyword extraction techniques to extract this information from company websites. Finally, we describe a small scale experiment in which keywords related to economic sectors and commodities are extracted from the websites of over 200 companies. This experiment shows what the main challenges are for information extraction from websites for regional innovation systems.
Complications may occur after a liver transplantation, therefore proper monitoring and care in the post-operation phase plays a very important role. Sometimes, monitoring and care for patients from abroad is difficult due to a variety of reasons, e.g., different care facilities. The objective of our research for this paper is to design, implement and evaluate a home monitoring and decision support infrastructure for international children who underwent liver transplant operation. A point-of-care device and the PedsQL questionnaire were used in patients’ home environment for measuring the blood parameters and assessing quality of life. By using a tablet PC and a specially developed software, the measured results were able to be transmitted to the health care providers via internet. So far, the developed infrastructure has been evaluated with four international patients/families transferring 38 records of blood test. The evaluation showed that the home monitoring and decision support infrastructure is technically feasible and is able to give timely alarm in case of abnormal situation as well as may increase parent’s feeling of safety for their children.
Fall events and their severe consequences represent not only a threatening problem for the affected individual, but also cause a significant burden for health care systems. Our research work aims to elucidate some of the prospects and problems of current sensor-based fall risk assessment approaches. Selected results of a questionnaire-based survey given to experts during topical workshops at international conferences are presented. The majority of domain experts confirmed that fall risk assessment could potentially be valuable for the community and that prediction is deemed possible, though limited. We conclude with a discussion of practical issues concerning adequate outcome parameters for clinical studies and data sharing within the research community. All participants agreed that sensor-based fall risk assessment is a promising and valuable approach, but that more prospective clinical studies with clearly defined outcome measures are necessary.
Complex Event Processing (CEP) has been established as a well-suited software technology for processing high-frequent data streams. However, intelligent stream based systems must integrate stream data with semantical background knowledge. In this work, we investigate different approaches on integrating stream data and semantic domain knowledge. In particular, we discuss from a software engineering per- spective two different architectures: an approach adding an ontology access mechanism to a common Continuous Query Language (CQL) is compared with C-SPARQL, a streaming extension of the RDF query language SPARQL.
Regional knowledge map is a tool recently demanded by some actors in an institutional level to help regional policy and innovation in a territory. Besides, knowledge maps facilitate the interaction between the actors of a territory and the collective learning. This paper reports the work in progress of a research project which objective is to define a methodology to efficiently design territorial knowledge maps, by extracting information of big volumes of data contained in diverse sources of information related to a region. Knowledge maps facilitate management of the intellectual capital in organisations. This paper investigates the value to apply this tool to a territorial region to manage the structures, infrastructures and the resources to enable regional innovation and regional development. Their design involves the identification of information sources that are required to find which knowledge is located in a territory, which actors are involved in innovation, and which is the context to develop this innovation (structures, infrastructures, resources and social capital). This paper summarizes the theoretical background and framework for the design of a methodology for the construction of knowledge maps, and gives an overview of the main challenges for the design of regional knowledge maps.
BYOD Bring Your Own Device
(2013)
Using modern devices like smartphones and tablets offers a wide variety of advantages; this has made them very popular as consumer devices in private life. Using them in the workplace is also popular. However, who wants to carry around and handle two devices; one for personal use, and one for work-related tasks? That is why “dual use”, using one single device for private and business applications, may represent a proper solution. The result is “Bring Your Own Device,” or BYOD, which describes the circumstance in which users make their own personal devices available for company use. For companies, this brings some opportunities and risks. We describe and discuss organizational issues, technical approaches, and solutions.
This paper describes the approach of the Hochschule Hannover to the SemEval 2013 Task Evaluating Phrasal Semantics. In order to compare a single word with a two word phrase we compute various distributional similarities, among which a new similarity measure, based on Jensen-Shannon Divergence with a correction for frequency effects. The classification is done by a support vector machine that uses all similarities as features. The approach turned out to be the most successful one in the task.
Research information, i.e., data about research projects, organisations, researchers or research outputs such as publications or patents, is spread across the web, usually residing in institutional and personal web pages or in semi-open databases and information systems. While there exists a wealth of unstructured information, structured data is limited and often exposed following proprietary or less-established schemas and interfaces. Therefore, a holistic and consistent view on research information across organisational and national boundaries is not feasible. On the other hand, web crawling and information extraction techniques have matured throughout the last decade, allowing for automated approaches of harvesting, extracting and consolidating research information into a more coherent knowledge graph. In this work, we give an overview of the current state of the art in research information sharing on the web and present initial ideas towards a more holistic approach for boot-strapping research information from available web sources.
The technical, environmental and economic potential of hemp fines as a natural filler in bioplastics to produce biocomposites is the subject of this study – giving a holistic overview. Hemp fines are an agricultural by-product of the hemp fibres and shives production. Shives and fibres are for example used in the paper, animal bedding or composite area. About 15 to 20 wt.-% per kg hemp straw results in hemp fines after processing. In 2010 about 11,439 metric tons of hemp fines were produced in Europe. Hemp fines are an inhomogeneous material which includes hemp dust, shives and fibre. For these examinations the hemp fines are sieved in a further step with a tumbler sieving machine to obtain more specified fractions. The untreated hemp fines (ex work) as well as the sieved fractions are combined with a polylactide polymer (PLA) using a co-rotating twin screw extruder to produce biocomposites with different hemp fine content. By using an injection moulding machine standard test bars are produced to conduct several material tests. The Young’s modulus is increased and the impact strength reduced by hemp fines. With a content of above 15 wt.-% hemp fines are also improving the environmental (global warming potential) and economic performance in comparison to pure PLA.
The dependency of word similarity in vector space models on the frequency of words has been noted in a few studies, but has received very little attention. We study the influence of word frequency in a set of 10 000 randomly selected word pairs for a number of different combinations of feature weighting schemes and similarity measures. We find that the similarity of word pairs for all methods, except for the one using singular value decomposition to reduce the dimensionality of the feature space, is determined to a large extent by the frequency of the words. In a binary classification task of pairs of synonyms and unrelated words we find that for all similarity measures the results can be improved when we correct for the frequency bias.
„Grappa“ ist eine Middleware, die auf die Anbindung verschiedener Autobewerter an verschiedene E-Learning-Frontends respektive Lernmanagementsysteme (LMS) spezialisiert ist. Ein Prototyp befindet sich seit mehreren Semestern an der Hochschule Hannover mit dem LMS „moodle“ und dem Backend „aSQLg“ im Einsatz und wird regelmäßig evaluiert. Dieser Beitrag stellt den aktuellen Entwicklungsstand von Grappa nach diversen Neu- und Weiterentwicklungen vor. Nach einem Bericht über zuletzt gesammelte Erfahrungen mit der genannten Kombination von Systemen stellen wir wesentliche Neuerungen der moodle-Plugins, welche der Steuerung von Grappa aus moodle heraus dienen, vor. Anschließend stellen wir eine Erweiterung der bisherigen Architektur in Form eines neuentwickelten Grappa-php-Clients zur effizienteren Anbindung von LMS vor. Weiterhin berichten wir über die Anbindung eines weiteren Autobewerters „Graja“ für Programmieraufgaben in Java. Der Bericht zeigt, dass bereits wichtige Schritte für eine einheitliche Darstellung automatisierter Programmbewertung in LMS mit unterschiedlichen Autobewertern für die Studierenden absolviert sind. Die praktischen Erfahrungen zeigen aber auch, dass sowohl bei jeder der Systemkomponenten individuell, wie auch in deren Zusammenspiel via Grappa noch weitere Entwicklungsarbeiten erforderlich sind, um die Akzeptanz und Nutzung bei Studierenden sowie Lehrenden weiter zu steigern.
In distributional semantics words are represented by aggregated context features. The similarity of words can be computed by comparing their feature vectors. Thus, we can predict whether two words are synonymous or similar with respect to some other semantic relation. We will show on six different datasets of pairs of similar and non-similar words that a supervised learning algorithm on feature vectors representing pairs of words outperforms cosine similarity between vectors representing single words. We compared different methods to construct a feature vector representing a pair of words. We show that simple methods like pairwise addition or multiplication give better results than a recently proposed method that combines different types of features. The semantic relation we consider is relatedness of terms in thesauri for intellectual document classification. Thus our findings can directly be applied for the maintenance and extension of such thesauri. To the best of our knowledge this relation was not considered before in the field of distributional semantics.
Das ProFormA-Aufgabenformat wurde eingeführt, um den Austausch von Programmieraufgaben zwischen beliebigen Autobewertern (Grader) zu ermöglichen. Ein Autobewerter führt im ProFormA-Aufgabenformat spezifizierte „Tests“ sequentiell aus, um ein vom Studierenden eingereichtes Programm zu prüfen. Für die Strukturierung und Darstellung der Testergebnisse existiert derzeit kein graderübergreifender Standard. Wir schlagen eine Erweiterung des ProFormA-Aufgabenformats um eine Hierarchie von Bewertungsaspekten vor, die nach didaktischen Aspekten gruppiert ist und entsprechende Testausführungen referenziert. Die Erweiterung wurde in Graja umgesetzt, einem Autobewerter für Java-Programme. Je nach gewünschter Detaillierung der Bewertungsaspekte sind Testausführungen in Teilausführungen aufzubrechen. Wir illustrieren unseren Vorschlag mit den Testwerkzeugen Compiler, dynamischer Softwaretest, statische Analyse sowie unter Einsatz menschlicher Bewerter.
Smart Cities require reliable means for managing installations that offer essential services to the citizens. In this paper we focus on the problem of evacuation of smart buildings in case of emergencies. In particular, we present an abstract architecture for situation-aware evacuation guidance systems in smart buildings, describe its key modules in detail, and provide some concrete examples of its structure and dynamics.
Editorial for the 15th European Networked Knowledge Organization Systems Workshop (NKOS 2016)
(2016)
Knowledge Organization Systems (KOS), in the form of classification systems, thesauri, lexical databases, ontologies, and taxonomies, play a crucial role in digital information management and applications generally. Carrying semantics in a well-controlled and documented way, Knowledge Organisation Systems serve a variety of important functions: tools for representation and indexing of information and documents, knowledge-based support to information searchers, semantic road maps to domains and disciplines, communication tool by providing conceptual framework, and conceptual basis for knowledge based systems, e.g. automated classification systems. New networked KOS (NKOS) services and applications are emerging, and we have reached a stage where many KOS standards exist and the integration of linked services is no longer just a future scenario. This editorial describes the workshop outline and overview of presented papers at the 15th European Networked Knowledge Organization Systems Workshop (NKOS 2016) in Hannover, Germany.
Integrating distributional and lexical information for semantic classification of words using MRMF
(2016)
Semantic classification of words using distributional features is usually based on the semantic similarity of words. We show on two different datasets that a trained classifier using the distributional features directly gives better results. We use Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Multirelational Matrix Factorization (MRMF) to train classifiers. Both give similar results. However, MRMF, that was not used for semantic classification with distributional features before, can easily be extended with more matrices containing more information from different sources on the same problem. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the novel approach by including information from WordNet. Thus we show, that MRMF provides an interesting approach for building semantic classifiers that (1) gives better results than unsupervised approaches based on vector similarity, (2) gives similar results as other supervised methods and (3) can naturally be extended with other sources of information in order to improve the results.
The CogALex-V Shared Task provides two datasets that consists of pairs of words along with a classification of their semantic relation. The dataset for the first task distinguishes only between related and unrelated, while the second data set distinguishes several types of semantic relations. A number of recent papers propose to construct a feature vector that represents a pair of words by applying a pairwise simple operation to all elements of the feature vector. Subsequently, the pairs can be classified by training any classification algorithm on these vectors. In the present paper we apply this method to the provided datasets. We see that the results are not better than from the given simple baseline. We conclude that the results of the investigated method are strongly depended on the type of data to which it is applied.
Discovery and efficient reuse of technology pictures using Wikimedia infrastructures. A proposal
(2016)
Multimedia objects, especially images and figures, are essential for the visualization and interpretation of research findings. The distribution and reuse of these scientific objects is significantly improved under open access conditions, for instance in Wikipedia articles, in research literature, as well as in education and knowledge dissemination, where licensing of images often represents a serious barrier.
Whereas scientific publications are retrievable through library portals or other online search services due to standardized indices there is no targeted retrieval and access to the accompanying images and figures yet. Consequently there is a great demand to develop standardized indexing methods for these multimedia open access objects in order to improve the accessibility to this material.
With our proposal, we hope to serve a broad audience which looks up a scientific or technical term in a web search portal first. Until now, this audience has little chance to find an openly accessible and reusable image narrowly matching their search term on first try - frustratingly so, even if there is in fact such an image included in some open access article.
Industrial Control Systems (ICS) succumb to an ever evolving variety of threats. Additionally, threats are increasing in number and get more complex. This requires a holistic and up-to-date security concept for ICS as a whole. Usually security concepts are applied and updated based on regularly performed ICS security assessments. Such ICS security assessments require high effort and extensive knowledge about ICS and its security. This is often a problem for small and mediumsized enterprises (SME), which do not have sufficient respective sufficiently skilled human resources. This paper defines in a first step requirements on the knowledge needed to perform an ICS security assessment and the life cycle of this knowledge. Afterwards the ICS security knowledge and its life cycle are developed and discussed considering the requirements and related work.
