Mit dem fortschreitenden technologischen Wandel nehmen zunehmend komplexe soziotechnische Systeme eine wichtige Rolle des modernen Lebens ein. Zur Analyse des Faktors Safety stellt Nancy Leveson [Lev16] dazu Systems-Theoretic Accident Model and Processes (STAMP) und die daraus resultierende Gefahrenanalysemetho...

Context: There is an increasing need for ubiquitous distribution and deployment of AI-ML-based systems in industry and public sectors. This is driven by advances in machine learning techniques, including deep learning and neural networks. However, there are specifc problems with machine lear...

In this thesis, we will conduct a replication study of existing work by Voit et al., which examined the influence of the research method when evaluating smart artifacts. They compared five research methods, namely Online Survey, Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Laboratory&#...

In recent years, optical flow estimation techniques have shifted from classical variational approaches to learning-based methods, which show promising results with respect to both accuracy and speed. However, only few attempts have been made at using more than two frames of the input&#x...

Obwohl Luftverschmutzung durch Feinstaub eine große Gefahr für die menschliche Gesundheit darstellt, gibt es für diese Thematik noch kein ausgeprägtes Bewusstsein in der deutschen Bevölkerung. In den letzten Jahren gab es vermehrt Projekte und Initiativen, die verfügbare Messdaten aufbereiten, hauptsä...

Digitale Karten, wie sie in Autos und Mobiltelefonen genutzt werden, sind aus dem heutigen Alltag nicht mehr weg zu denken. Allerdings sind die Visualisierungsmöglichkeiten dieser Systeme durch ihre Limitierung auf zwei Dimensionen stark eingeschränkt. Mithilfe von Augmented-Reality-Geräten, wie beis...

In this master's thesis, we investigate machine learning methods to support the visualization of ensemble data. Our goal is to develop methods that allow us to efficiently explore the projections of various ensemble datasets and investigate the ability of autoencoder-based techniques to&...

In Zeiten immer größer werdender Informationsflut aus aller Welt wird Nachrichtenmedien immer wieder fehlende Neutralität bei ihrer Berichterstattung vorgeworfen. Wie kann die Beeinflussung der Berichterstattung, falls diese vorliegt, erkannt und nachgewiesen werden, ohne komplizierte und aufwendige Analysen de...

Commercial buildings contribute to more energy consumption worldwide. Buildings are equipped with devices like sensors and actuators to know the current state of the building. The intelligence lies in making use of that collected data to make appropriate decisions that reduce energy&#x...

Climate change is the foremost concern that is demanding the attention of the world to take strategic actions to combat the adverse effects. Countries around the globe are passing amendments to monitor global warming. CO2 emissions are at alarming levels. According to the Internati...

Systematic Literature Review (SLR) is a popular research method with adoption across different research domains that is used to draw generalizations, compose multiple existing concepts into a new one, or identify conflicts and gaps in existing research. Within the Information Technology doma...

The serverless computing paradigm focuses on development of cloud applications, which do not require management of underlying infrastructure. Instead cloud providers are responsible for all management tasks such as provisioning, resource allocation and scaling. Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) is a cloud ...

Scatter-plate microscopy (SPM) is a lensless imaging technique for high-resolution imaging through scattering media. So far, the method was demonstrated for spatially incoherent illumination and static scattering media. In this publication, we demonstrate that these restrictions are not necessary. We&...

The selection of LCA datasets requires an understanding of the available datasets in a database and awareness about the uncertainties associated with the dataset selection. Therefore, a graphical presentation technique is introduced to support the communication of information about available data...

Die vorliegende Dissertation hat zwei zentrale Ziele: Zum einen wird theoriebasiert ein Resilienzkonzept entwickelt, das den multidisziplinär geführten Resilienzdiskurs zusammenführt und gleichzeitig Ansatzpunkte für den Transfer in die Praxis bietet. Zum anderen, wird die empirische Anwendung des Konzepts ...

Hydro-mechanical processes in porous media are phenomena that occurs at different length and time scales. This thesis presents a multiscale approach to model these phenomena with continuum approaches. On the pore scale, effective transport properties, e.g. the intrinsic permeability or...

Electric vehicles represent a promising opportunity to achieve greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets in the transport sector. Integrating them comprehensively into the energy System requires smart control strategies for the charging processes. In this paper we concentrate on charging processes a...
