  abstract  = {In future telecommunication systems, we observe an increasing diversity of access networks. The separation of transport services and applications or services leads to multi-network services, i.e., a future service has to work transparently to the underlying network infrastructure. Multi-network services with edge-based intelligence, like P2P file sharing or the Skype VoIP service, impose new traffic control paradigms on the future Internet. Such services adapt the amount of consumed bandwidth to reach different goals. A selfish behavior tries to keep the QoE of a single user above a certain level. Skype, for instance, repeats voice samples depending on the perceived end-to-end loss. From the viewpoint of a single user, the replication of voice data overcomes the degradation caused by packet loss and enables to maintain a certain QoE. The cost for this achievement is a higher amount of consumed bandwidth. However, if the packet loss is caused by congestion in the network, this additionally required bandwidth even worsens the network situation. Altruistic behavior, on the other side, would reduce the bandwidth consumption in such a way that the pressure on the network is released and thus the overall network performance is improved. In this monograph, we analyzed the impact of the overlay, P2P, and QoE paradigms in future Internet applications and the interactions from the observing user behavior. The shift of intelligence toward the edge is accompanied by a change in the emerging user behavior and traffic profile, as well as a change from multi-service networks to multi-networks services. In addition, edge-based intelligence may lead to a higher dynamics in the network topology, since the applications are often controlled by an overlay network, which can rapidly change in size and structure as new nodes can leave or join the overlay network in an entirely distributed manner. As a result, we found that the performance evaluation of such services provides new challenges, since novel key performance factors have to be first identified, like pollution of P2P systems, and appropriate models of the emerging user behavior are required, e.g. taking into account user impatience. As common denominator of the presented studies in this work, we focus on a user-centric view when evaluating the performance of future Internet applications. For a subscriber of a certain application or service, the perceived quality expressed as QoE will be the major criterion of the user's satisfaction with the network and service providers. We selected three different case studies and characterized the application's performance from the end user's point of view. Those are (1) cooperation in mobile P2P file sharing networks, (2) modeling of online TV recording services, and (3) QoE of edge-based VoIP applications. The user-centric approach facilitates the development of new mechanisms to overcome problems arising from the changing user behavior. An example is the proposed CycPriM cooperation strategy, which copes with selfish user behavior in mobile P2P file sharing system. An adequate mechanism has also been shown to be efficient in a heterogeneous B3G network with mobile users conducting vertical handovers between different wireless access technologies. The consideration of the user behavior and the user perceived quality guides to an appropriate modeling of future Internet applications. In the case of the online TV recording service, this enables the comparison between different technical realizations of the system, e.g. using server clusters or P2P technology, to properly dimension the installed network elements and to assess the costs for service providers. Technologies like P2P help to overcome phenomena like flash crowds and improve scalability compared to server clusters, which may get overloaded in such situations. Nevertheless, P2P technology invokes additional challenges and different user behavior to that seen in traditional client/server systems. Beside the willingness to share files and the churn of users, peers may be malicious and offer fake contents to disturb the data dissemination. Finally, the understanding and the quantification of QoE with respect to QoS degradations permits designing sophisticated edge-based applications. To this end, we identified and formulated the IQX hypothesis as an exponential interdependency between QoE and QoS parameters, which we validated for different examples. The appropriate modeling of the emerging user behavior taking into account the user's perceived quality and its interactions with the overlay and P2P paradigm will finally help to design future Internet applications.},

  abstract  = {The ecosystem of the high northern latitudes is affected by the recently changing environmental conditions. The Arctic has undergone a significant climatic change over the last decades. The land coverage is changing and a phenological response to the warming is apparent. Remotely sensed data can assist the monitoring and quantification of these changes. The remote sensing of the Arctic was predominantly carried out by the usage of optical sensors but these encounter problems in the Arctic environment, e.g. the frequent cloud cover or the solar geometry. In contrast, the imaging of Synthetic Aperture Radar is not affected by the cloud cover and the acquisition of radar imagery is independent of the solar illumination. The objective of this work was to explore how polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PolSAR) data of TerraSAR-X, TanDEM-X, Radarsat-2 and ALOS PALSAR and interferometric-derived digital elevation model data of the TanDEM-X Mission can contribute to collect meaningful information on the actual state of the Arctic Environment. The study was conducted for Canadian sites of the Mackenzie Delta Region and Banks Island and in situ reference data were available for the assessment. The up-to-date analysis of the PolSAR data made the application of the Non-Local Means filtering and of the decomposition of co-polarized data necessary. The Non-Local Means filter showed a high capability to preserve the image values, to keep the edges and to reduce the speckle. This supported not only the suitability for the interpretation but also for the classification. The classification accuracies of Non-Local Means filtered data were in average +10\% higher compared to unfiltered images. The correlation of the co- and quad-polarized decomposition features was high for classes with distinct surface or double bounce scattering and a usage of the co-polarized data is beneficial for regions of natural land coverage and for low vegetation formations with little volume scattering. The evaluation further revealed that the X- and C-Band were most sensitive to the generalized land cover classes. It was found that the X-Band data were sensitive to low vegetation formations with low shrub density, the C-Band data were sensitive to the shrub density and the shrub dominated tundra. In contrast, the L-Band data were less sensitive to the land cover. Among the different dual-polarized data the HH/VV-polarized data were identified to be most meaningful for the characterization and classification, followed by the HH/HV-polarized and the VV/VH-polarized data. The quad-polarized data showed highest sensitivity to the land cover but differences to the co-polarized data were small. The accuracy assessment showed that spectral information was required for accurate land cover classification. The best results were obtained when spectral and radar information was combined. The benefit of including radar data in the classification was up to +15\% accuracy and most significant for the classes wetland and sparse vegetated tundra. The best classifications were realized with quad-polarized C-Band and multispectral data and with co-polarized X-Band and multispectral data. The overall accuracy was up to 80\% for unsupervised and up to 90\% for supervised classifications. The results indicated that the shortwave co-polarized data show promise for the classification of tundra land cover since the polarimetric information is sensitive to low vegetation and the wetlands. Furthermore, co-polarized data provide a higher spatial resolution than the quad-polarized data. The analysis of the intermediate digital elevation model data of the TanDEM-X showed a high potential for the characterization of the surface morphology. The basic and relative topographic features were shown to be of high relevance for the quantification of the surface morphology and an area-wide application is feasible. In addition, these data were of value for the classification and delineation of landforms. Such classifications will assist the delineation of geomorphological units and have potential to identify locations of actual and future morphologic activity.},

  abstract  = {In the course of the growth of the Internet and due to increasing availability of data, over the last two decades, the field of network science has established itself as an own area of research. With quantitative scientists from computer science, mathematics, and physics working on datasets from biology, economics, sociology, political sciences, and many others, network science serves as a paradigm for interdisciplinary research. One of the major goals in network science is to unravel the relationship between topological graph structure and a network's function. As evidence suggests, systems from the same fields, i.e. with similar function, tend to exhibit similar structure. However, it is still vague whether a similar graph structure automatically implies likewise function. This dissertation aims at helping to bridge this gap, while particularly focusing on the role of triadic structures. After a general introduction to the main concepts of network science, existing work devoted to the relevance of triadic substructures is reviewed. A major challenge in modeling triadic structure is the fact that not all three-node subgraphs can be specified independently of each other, as pairs of nodes may participate in multiple of those triadic subgraphs. In order to overcome this obstacle, we suggest a novel class of generative network models based on so called Steiner triple systems. The latter are partitions of a graph's vertices into pair-disjoint triples (Steiner triples). Thus, the configurations on Steiner triples can be specified independently of each other without overdetermining the network's link structure. Subsequently, we investigate the most basic realization of this new class of models. We call it the triadic random graph model (TRGM). The TRGM is parametrized by a probability distribution over all possible triadic subgraph patterns. In order to generate a network instantiation of the model, for all Steiner triples in the system, a pattern is drawn from the distribution and adjusted randomly on the Steiner triple. We calculate the degree distribution of the TRGM analytically and find it to be similar to a Poissonian distribution. Furthermore, it is shown that TRGMs possess non-trivial triadic structure. We discover inevitable correlations in the abundance of certain triadic subgraph patterns which should be taken into account when attributing functional relevance to particular motifs - patterns which occur significantly more frequently than expected at random. Beyond, the strong impact of the probability distributions on the Steiner triples on the occurrence of triadic subgraphs over the whole network is demonstrated. This interdependence allows us to design ensembles of networks with predefined triadic substructure. Hence, TRGMs help to overcome the lack of generative models needed for assessing the relevance of triadic structure. We further investigate whether motifs occur homogeneously or heterogeneously distributed over a graph. Therefore, we study triadic subgraph structures in each node's neighborhood individually. In order to quantitatively measure structure from an individual node's perspective, we introduce an algorithm for node-specific pattern mining for both directed unsigned, and undirected signed networks. Analyzing real-world datasets, we find that there are networks in which motifs are distributed highly heterogeneously, bound to the proximity of only very few nodes. Moreover, we observe indication for the potential sensitivity of biological systems to a targeted removal of these critical vertices. In addition, we study whole graphs with respect to the homogeneity and homophily of their node-specific triadic structure. The former describes the similarity of subgraph distributions in the neighborhoods of individual vertices. The latter quantifies whether connected vertices are structurally more similar than non-connected ones. We discover these features to be characteristic for the networks' origins. Moreover, clustering the vertices of graphs regarding their triadic structure, we investigate structural groups in the neural network of C. elegans, the international airport-connection network, and the global network of diplomatic sentiments between countries. For the latter we find evidence for the instability of triangles considered socially unbalanced according to sociological theories. Finally, we utilize our TRGM to explore ensembles of networks with similar triadic substructure in terms of the evolution of dynamical processes acting on their nodes. Focusing on oscillators, coupled along the graphs' edges, we observe that certain triad motifs impose a clear signature on the systems' dynamics, even when embedded in a larger network structure.},

  abstract  = {At the center of the Internet's protocol stack stands the Internet Protocol (IP) as a common denominator that enables all communication. To make routing efficient, resilient, and scalable, several aspects must be considered. Care must be taken that traffic is well balanced to make efficient use of the existing network resources, both in failure free operation and in failure scenarios. Finding the optimal routing in a network is an NP-complete problem. Therefore, routing optimization is usually performed using heuristics. This dissertation shows that a routing optimized with one objective function is often not good when looking at other objective functions. It can even be worse than unoptimized routing with respect to that objective function. After looking at failure-free routing and traffic distribution in different failure scenarios, the analysis is extended to include the loop-free alternate (LFA) IP fast reroute mechanism. Different application scenarios of LFAs are examined and a special focus is set on the fact that LFAs usually cannot protect all traffic in a network even against single link failures. Thus, the routing optimization for LFAs is targeted on both link utilization and failure coverage. Finally, the pre-congestion notification mechanism PCN for network admission control and overload protection is analyzed and optimized. Different design options for implementing the protocol are compared, before algorithms are developed for the calculation and optimization of protocol parameters and PCN-based routing. The second part of the thesis tackles a routing problem that can only be resolved on a global scale. The scalability of the Internet is at risk since a major and intensifying growth of the interdomain routing tables has been observed. Several protocols and architectures are analyzed that can be used to make interdomain routing more scalable. The most promising approach is the locator/identifier (Loc/ID) split architecture which separates routing from host identification. This way, changes in connectivity, mobility of end hosts, or traffic-engineering activities are hidden from the routing in the core of the Internet and the routing tables can be kept much smaller. All of the currently proposed Loc/ID split approaches have their downsides. In particular, the fact that most architectures use the ID for routing outside the Internet's core is a poor design, which inhibits many of the possible features of a new routing architecture. To better understand the problems and to provide a solution for a scalable routing design that implements a true Loc/ID split, the new GLI-Split protocol is developed in this thesis, which provides separation of global and local routing and uses an ID that is independent from any routing decisions. Besides GLI-Split, several other new routing architectures implementing Loc/ID split have been proposed for the Internet. Most of them assume that a mapping system is queried for EID-to-RLOC mappings by an intermediate node at the border of an edge network. When the mapping system is queried by an intermediate node, packets are already on their way towards their destination, and therefore, the mapping system must be fast, scalable, secure, resilient, and should be able to relay packets without locators to nodes that can forward them to the correct destination. The dissertation develops a classification for all proposed mapping system architectures and shows their similarities and differences. Finally, the fast two-level mapping system FIRMS is developed. It includes security and resilience features as well as a relay service for initial packets of a flow when intermediate nodes encounter a cache miss for the EID-to-RLOC mapping.},

  abstract  = {Aufgrund vieler Verbesserungen der Behandlungsmethoden im Laufe der letzten 60 Jahre, erlaubt die Strahlentherapie heutzutage pr{\"a}zise Behandlungen von statischen Tumoren. Jedoch birgt die Bestrahlung von sich bewegenden Tumoren noch große Herausforderungen in sich, da bewegliche Tumore oft den Behandlungsstrahl verlassen. Dabei reduziert sich die Strahlendosis im Tumor w{\"a}hrend sich diese im umliegenden gesunden Gewebe erh{\"o}ht. Diese Forschungsarbeit zielt darauf ab, die Grenzen der Strahlentherapie zu erweitern, um pr{\"a}zise Behandlungen von beweglichen Tumoren zu erm{\"o}glichen. Der Fokus der Arbeit liegt auf der Erstellung eines Echtzeitsystems zur aktiven Kompensation von Tumorbewegungen durch robotergest{\"u}tzte Methoden. W{\"a}hrend Behandlungen befinden sich Patienten auf einer Patientenliege, mit der statische Lagerungsfehler vor Beginn einer Behandlung korrigiert werden. Die in dieser Arbeit verwendete Patientenliege "HexaPOD" ist ein paralleler Manipulator mit sechs Freiheitsgraden, der große Lasten innerhalb eines eingeschr{\"a}nkten Arbeitsbereichs pr{\"a}zise positionieren kann. Obwohl der HexaPOD urspr{\"u}nglich nicht f{\"u}r dynamische Anwendungen konzipiert wurde, wird dieser f{\"u}r eine dauerhafte Bewegungskompensation eingesetzt, in dem Patienten so bewegt werden, dass Tumore pr{\"a}zise im Zentralstrahl w{\"a}hrend der Dauer einer gesamten Behandlung verbleiben. Um ein echtzeitf{\"a}higes Kompensationssystem auf Basis des HexaPODs zu realisieren, muss eine Reihe an Herausforderungen bew{\"a}ltigt werden. Echtzeitaspekte werden einerseits durch die Verwendung eines harten Echtzeitbetriebssystems abgedeckt, andererseits durch die Messung und Sch{\"a}tzung von Latenzzeiten aller physikalischen Gr{\"o}ßen im System, z.B. Messungen der Tumor- und Atemposition. Neben der konsistenten und durchg{\"a}ngigen Ber{\"u}cksichtigung von akkuraten Zeitinformation, werden alle software-induzierten Latenzen adaptiv ausgeglichen. Dies erfordert Vorhersagen der Tumorposition in die nahe Zukunft. Zahlreiche Pr{\"a}diktoren zur Atem- und Tumorpositionsvorhersage werden vorgeschlagen und anhand verschiedenster Metriken evaluiert. Erweiterungen der Pr{\"a}diktionsalgorithmen werden eingef{\"u}hrt, die sowohl Atem- als auch Tumorpositionsinformationen fusionieren, um Vorhersagen ohne explizites Korrelationsmodell zu erm{\"o}glichen. Die Vorhersagen bestimmen den zuk{\"u}nftigen Bewegungspfad des HexaPODs, um Tumorbewegungen zu kompensieren. Dazu werden verschiedene Regler entwickelt, die eine Trajektorienverfolgung mit dem HexaPOD erm{\"o}glichen. Auf der Basis von linearer und nicht-linearer dynamischer Modellierung des HexaPODs mit Methoden der Systemidentifikation, wird zun{\"a}chst ein modellpr{\"a}diktiver Regler entwickelt. Ein zweiter Regler wird auf Basis einer Annahme {\"u}ber das Arbeitsprinzip des internen Reglers im HexaPOD entworfen. Schließlich wird ein dritter Regler vorgeschlagen, der beide vorhergehenden Regler miteinander kombiniert. F{\"u}r jeden dieser Regler werden vergleichende Ergebnisse aus Experimenten mit realer Hardware und menschlichen Versuchspersonen pr{\"a}sentiert und diskutiert. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus wird die geeignete Wahl von freien Parametern in den Reglern vorgestellt. Neben einer pr{\"a}zisen Verfolgung der Referenztrajektorie spielt der Patientenkomfort eine entscheidende Rolle f{\"u}r die Akzeptanz des Systems. Es wird gezeigt, dass die Regler glatte Trajektorien realisieren k{\"o}nnen, um zu garantieren, dass sich Patienten wohl f{\"u}hlen w{\"a}hrend ihre Tumorbewegung mit Genauigkeiten im Submillimeterbereich ausgeglichen wird. Gesamtfehler werden im Kompensationssystem analysiert, in dem diese zu Trajektorienverfolgungsfehlern und Pr{\"a}diktionsfehlern in Beziehung gesetzt werden. Durch Ausnutzung von Eigenschaften verschiedener Pr{\"a}diktoren wird gezeigt, dass die Startzeit des Systems bis die Verfolgung der Referenztrajektorie erreicht ist, wenige Sekunden betr{\"a}gt. Dies gilt insbesondere f{\"u}r den Fall eines initial ruhenden HexaPODs und ohne Vorwissen {\"u}ber Tumorbewegungen. Dies zeigt die Eignung des Systems f{\"u}r die sehr kurz fraktionierten Behandlungen von Lungentumoren. Das Tumorkompensationssystem wurde ausschließlich auf Basis von klinischer Standard-Hardware entwickelt, die in vielen Behandlungsr{\"a}umen zu finden ist. Durch ein einfaches und flexibles Design k{\"o}nnen Behandlungsr{\"a}ume in kosteneffizienter Weise um M{\"o}glichkeiten der Bewegungskompensation erg{\"a}nzt werden. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus werden aktuelle Behandlungsmethoden wie intensit{\"a}tsmodulierte Strahlentherapie oder Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy in keiner Weise eingeschr{\"a}nkt. Aufgrund der Unterst{\"u}tzung verschiedener Kompensationsmodi kann das System auf alle beweglichen Tumore angewendet werden, unabh{\"a}ngig davon ob die Bewegungen vorhersagbar (Lungentumore) oder nicht vorhersagbar (Prostatatumore) sind. Durch Integration von geeigneten Methoden zur Tumorpositionsbestimmung kann das System auf einfache Weise zur Kompensation von anderen Tumoren erweitert werden.},

  abstract  = {In the last 40 years, complexity theory has grown to a rich and powerful field in theoretical computer science. The main task of complexity theory is the classification of problems with respect to their consumption of resources (e.g., running time or required memory). To study the computational complexity (i.e., consumption of resources) of problems, similar problems are grouped into so called complexity classes. During the systematic study of numerous problems of practical relevance, no efficient algorithm for a great number of studied problems was found. Moreover, it was unclear whether such algorithms exist. A major breakthrough in this situation was the introduction of the complexity classes P and NP and the identification of hardest problems in NP. These hardest problems of NP are nowadays known as NP-complete problems. One prominent example of an NP-complete problem is the satisfiability problem of propositional formulas (SAT). Here we get a propositional formula as an input and it must be decided whether an assignment for the propositional variables exists, such that this assignment satisfies the given formula. The intensive study of NP led to numerous related classes, e.g., the classes of the polynomial-time hierarchy PH, P, \#P, PP, NL, L and \#L. During the study of these classes, problems related to propositional formulas were often identified to be complete problems for these classes. Hence some questions arise: Why is SAT so hard to solve? Are there modifications of SAT which are complete for other well-known complexity classes? In the context of these questions a result by E. Post is extremely useful. He identified and characterized all classes of Boolean functions being closed under superposition. It is possible to study problems which are connected to generalized propositional logic by using this result, which was done in this thesis. Hence, many different problems connected to propositional logic were studied and classified with respect to their computational complexity, clearing the borderline between easy and hard problems.},
