TY - THES A1 - Schröter, Martin T1 - Newton Methods for Image Registration T1 - Newton-Methoden zur Bildregistrierung N2 - Consider the situation where two or more images are taken from the same object. After taking the first image, the object is moved or rotated so that the second recording depicts it in a different manner. Additionally, take heed of the possibility that the imaging techniques may have also been changed. One of the main problems in image processing is to determine the spatial relation between such images. The corresponding process of finding the spatial alignment is called “registration”. In this work, we study the optimization problem which corresponds to the registration task. Especially, we exploit the Lie group structure of the set of transformations to construct efficient, intrinsic algorithms. We also apply the algorithms to medical registration tasks. However, the methods developed are not restricted to the field of medical image processing. We also have a closer look at more general forms of optimization problems and show connections to related tasks. N2 - Wir betrachten Problemstellungen, in denen zwei Bilder von ein und demselben Objekt aufgenommen wurden. Nach der ersten Aufnahme hat sich allerdings das Objekt bewegt oder deformiert, so dass es sich in den nächsten Bildern auf eine andere Weise darstellt. Zudem kann sich die Aufnahmetechnik geändert haben. Eine der Hauptprobleme in der Bildverarbeitung ist es, die räumliche Korrespondenz zwischen solchen Bildern zu bestimmen. Die zugehörige Aufgabe, eine solche räumliche Übereinstimmung zu finden, nennt man "Registrierung". In dieser Arbeit untersuchen wir das mit der Registrierung verbundene Optimierungsproblem. Insbesondere nutzen wir die Lie-Gruppen-Struktur der Menge der zulässigen Transformationen aus, um effiziente, intrinsische Argorithmen zu entwickeln. Wir wenden diese dann auf Probleme der medizinischen Bildregistrierung an, jedoch sind unsere Methoden nicht auf dieses Feld beschränkt. Wir werfen auch einen genaueren Blick auf eine allgemeinere Form von Optimierungsproblemen und zeigen Verknüpfungen zu verwandten Fragestellungen auf.

This approach allows for the utilization of client resources, thus being more scalable than a client-server model in this respect. However, in these architectures the quality of the provided service depends on the clients and is therefore more complex to manage. Resource utilization, both at the clients themselves and in the underlying network, determine the efficiency of the overlay application. Here, a trade-off exists between the resource providers and the end users that can be tuned via overlay mechanisms. Thus, resource management and traffic management is always quality-of-service management as well. In this monograph, the three currently significant and most widely used overlay types in the Internet are considered. These overlays are implemented in popular applications which only recently have gained importance. Thus, these overlay networks still face real-world technical challenges which are of high practical relevance. We identify the specific issues for each of the considered overlays, and show how their optimization affects the trade-offs between resource efficiency and service quality. Thus, we supply new insights and system knowledge that is not provided by previous work. N2 - Im heutigen Internet werden immer häufiger Overlay-Strukturen aufgebaut, um eine Dienstleistung zu erbringen. Dieser Ansatz ermöglicht die Nutzung von Client-Ressourcen, so dass er in dieser Hinsicht besser skaliert als das Client-Server-Modell. Die Qualität des zur Verfügung gestellten Dienstes hängt nun aber von den Clients ab und ist daher komplizierter zu steuern. Die Ressourcennutzung, sowohl auf den Clients selbst als auch in dem zugrunde liegenden Netzwerk, bestimmt die Effizienz der Overlay-Anwendung. Hier existiert ein Trade-off zwischen Ressourcen-Anbietern und Endkunden, der über Overlay-Mechanismen geregelt werden kann. Daher ist Ressourcenmanagement und Traffic-Management gleichzeitig immer auch Quality-of-Service-Management. In dieser Arbeit werden die drei derzeit am weitesten im Internet verbreiteten und signifikanten Overlay-Typen berücksichtigt. Diese Overlays sind in populären Anwendungen, die erst vor kurzem an Bedeutung gewonnen haben, implementiert. Daher sind diese Overlay-Netze nach wie vor realen technischen Herausforderungen ausgesetzt, die von hoher praktischer Relevanz sind. Die spezifischen Herausforderungen für jedes der betrachteten Overlays werden identifiziert und es wird gezeigt, wie deren Optimierung den Trade-off zwischen Ressourceneffizienz und Service-Qualität beeinflusst. So werden neue Einsichten und Erkenntnisse über diese Systeme gewonnen, die in früheren Arbeiten nicht existieren.

Whether it is eclecticism, stemmatics, or copy-text, one is expected to explicitly or indirectly select one of the documents as a starting point or as a base text, which could be emended through comparison with remaining documents, so that a text that could be designated as the original document is generated. Unfortunately the process of giving priority to one of the documents also known as witnesses is a subjective approach. In fact even Cladistics, which could be considered as a computer-based approach of implementing stemmatics, does not present or recommend users to select a certain witness as a starting point for the process of reconstructing the original document. In this study, a computational method using a rule-based Bayesian classifier is used, to assist text scholars in their attempts of reconstructing a non-existing document from some available witnesses. The method developed in this study consists of selecting a base text successively and collating it with remaining documents. Each completed collation cycle stores the selected base text and its closest witness, along with a weighted score of their similarities and differences. At the end of the collation process, a witness selected more often by majority of base texts is considered as the probable base text of the collection. Witnesses’ scores are weighted using a weighting system, based on effects of types of textual modifications on the process of reconstructing original documents. Users have the possibility to select between baseless and base text collation. If a base text is selected, the task is reduced to ranking the witnesses with respect to the base text, otherwise a base text as well as ranking of the witnesses with respect to the base text are computed and displayed on a histogram.

In current environments, a middleware software is used, which supports the publish/subscribe communication pattern. Using this communication pattern, a publisher sends information encapsulated in messages to the middleware. A subscriber registers its interests at the middleware. The monograph describes three different steps to determine the performance of such a system. In a first step, the message throughput performance of a publish/subscribe in different scenarios is measured using a Java Message Service (JMS) based implementation. In the second step the maximum achievable message throughput is described by adapted models depending on the filter complexity and the replication grade. Using the model, the performance characteristics of a specific system in a given scenario can be determined. These numbers are used for the queuing model described in the third part of the thesis, which supports the dimensioning of a system in realistic scenarios. Additionally, we introduce a method to approximate an M/G/1 system numerically in an efficient way, which can be used for real time analysis to predict the expected performance in a certain scenario. Finally, the analytical model is used to investigate different possibilities to ensure the scalability of the maximum achievable message throughput of the overall system. N2 - Bei der Entwicklung moderner Applikationen ist es notwendig eine effiziente und performante Kommunikation zwischen den einzelnen Anwendungen sicherzustellen. In der Praxis kommt dabei eine Middleware Software zum Einsatz, die das Publish/Subscribe Kommunikationsmuster unterstützt. Dabei senden Publisher Informationen in Form von Nachrichten an die Middleware. Die Subscriber hingegen zeigen durch die Nutzung von Filtern der Middleware an, welche Informationen zugestellt werden sollen. Die Arbeit beschreibt ein dreistufiges Verfahren zur Leistungsbestimmung eines solchen Systems. Zunächst wird durch Messung die Leistung von Publish/Subscribe Systemen in verschiedenen Szenarien untersucht am Beispiel von Java Message Service (JMS) basierten Implementierungen. Danach wird der maximale Nachrichtendurchsatz in Abhängigkeit der Filterkomplexität und des Nachrichtenreplikationsgrades durch einfache Modelle beschrieben. Damit können die Leistungskennwerte für ein System und vorgegebenen Randbedingungen beschrieben werden. Im dritten Teil wird mittels Leistungsbewertung und durch Anwendung eines Warteschlangenmodells die Leistung in praxisnahen Umfeld beschrieben, so dass eine Dimensionierung möglich wird. Zusätzlich wird ein mathematisch, approximatives Verfahren vorgestellt, um ein M/G/1 System numerisch effizient berechnen zu können, was bei der Echtzeitbewertung eines Systems zur Leistungsvorhersage benutzt werden kann. Des Weiteren werden mittels des Modells Möglichkeiten untersucht die Skalierbarkeit des Gesamtsystems in Bezug auf den Nachrichtendurchsatz sicherzustellen.

Once deeper understanding is achieved, one would like to organize and manage her/his knowledge in such a way that, it could be easily remembered and efficiently transmitted to others. In this paper, books organized in terms of chapters consisting of verses, are considered as the source of knowledge to be modeled. The knowledge model consists of verses with their metadata and semantic annotations. The metadata represent the multiple perspectives of knowledge modeling. Verses with their metadata and annotations form a meta-model, which will be published on a web Mashup. The meta-model with linking between its elements constitute a knowledge base. An XML-based annotation system breaking down the learning process into specific tasks, helps constructing the desired meta-model. The system is made up of user interfaces for creating metadata, annotating chapters’ contents according to user selected semantics, and templates for publishing the generated knowledge on the Internet. The proposed software system improves comprehension and retention of knowledge contained in religious texts through modeling and visualization. The system has been applied to the Quran, and the result obtained shows that multiple perspectives of information modeling can be successfully applied to religious texts. It is expected that this short ongoing study would motivate others to engage in devising and offering software systems for cross-religions learning.

Based on this fact, it is reasonable to argue that, explicit identification of types of changes such as deletions, additions, transpositions, and mutations should be part of the collation process. The identification could be carried out by an interpretation module after alignment has taken place. Unfortunately existing collation software such as CollateX1 and Juxta2’s collation engine do not have interpretation modules. In fact they implement the Gothenburg model [1] for collation process which does not include an interpretation unit. Currently both CollateX and Juxta’s collation engine do not distinguish in their critical apparatus between the types of changes, and do not offer statistics about those changes. This paper presents a model for both integrated and distributed collation processes that improves the Gothenburg model. The model introduces an interpretation component for computing and distinguishing between the types of changes that documents could have undergone. Moreover two architectures implementing the model in order to solve the problem of interactive collation are discussed as well. Each architecture uses CollateX library, and provides on the one hand preprocessing functions for transforming input documents into CollateX input format, and on the other hand a post-processing module for enabling interactive collation. Finally simple algorithms for distinguishing between types of changes, and linking collated source documents with the collation results are also introduced.

Many verses are similar and even identical. Searching for similar texts (e.g verses) could return thousands of verses, that when displayed completely or partly as textual list would make analysis and understanding difficult and confusing. Moreover it would be visually impossible to instantly figure out the overall distribution of the retrieved verses in the Quran. As consequence reading and analyzing the verses would be tedious and unintuitive. In this study a combination of interactive scatter plots and tables has been developed to assist analysis and understanding of the search result. Retrieved verses are clustered by chapters, and a weight is assigned to each cluster according to number of verses it contains, so that users could visually identify most relevant areas, and figure out the places of revelation of the verses. Users visualize the complete result and can select a region of the plot to zoom in, click on a marker to display a table containing verses with English translation side by side.

We assume that both competitors act non-cooperatively and aim at maximizing their own benefits. We investigate the complexity and approximability of such problems on graphs, in particular on simple graph classes such as trees and paths. We also develop fast algorithms for single competitive location problems where each provider places a single facilty. Voting location, in contrast, aims at identifying locations that meet social criteria. The provider wants to satisfy the users (customers) of the facility to be opened. In general, there is no location that is favored by all users. Therefore, a satisfactory compromise has to be found. To this end, criteria arising from voting theory are considered. The solution of the location problem is understood as the winner of a virtual election among the users of the facilities, in which the potential locations play the role of the candidates and the users represent the voters. Competitive and voting location problems turn out to be closely related.

The first part gives a detailed state of the art and a discussion of the problems to be solved in order to teleoperate mobile robots via the Internet. The focus of the application to be realized is set on a distributed tele-laboratory with remote experiments on mobile robots which can be accessed world-wide via the Internet. Therefore, analyses of the communication link are used in order to realize a robust system. The developed and implemented architecture of this distributed tele-laboratory allows for a smooth access also with a variable or low link quality. The second part covers the application of ad-hoc networks for mobile robots. The networking of mobile robots via mobile ad-hoc networks is a very promising approach to realize integrated telematic systems without relying on preexisting communication infrastructure. Relevant civilian application scenarios are for example in the area of search and rescue operations where first responders are supported by multi-robot systems. Here, mobile robots, humans, and also existing stationary sensors can be connected very fast and efficient. Therefore, this work investigates and analyses the performance of different ad-hoc routing protocols for IEEE 802.11 based wireless networks in relevant scenarios. The analysis of the different protocols allows for an optimization of the parameter settings in order to use these ad-hoc routing protocols for mobile robot teleoperation. Also guidelines for the realization of such telematics systems are given. Also traffic shaping mechanisms of application layer are presented which allow for a more efficient use of the communication link. An additional application scenario, the integration of a small size helicopter into an IP based ad-hoc network, is presented. The teleoperation of mobile robots via 3G telecommunication technologies is addressed in the third part of this work. The high availability, high mobility, and the high bandwidth provide a very interesting opportunity to realize scenarios for the teleoperation of mobile robots or industrial remote maintenance. This work analyses important parameters of the UMTS communication link and investigates also the characteristics for different data streams. These analyses are used to give guidelines which are necessary for the realization of or industrial remote maintenance or mobile robot teleoperation scenarios. All the results and guidelines for the design of telematic systems in this work were derived from analyses and experiments with real hardware. N2 - Diese Arbeit gliedert sich in drei Hauptteile: Fernsteuerung mobiler Systeme über das Internet, ad-hoc Netzwerke mobiler Roboter und Fernsteuerung mobiler Roboter über Mobilfunktechnologien der 3. Generation. Im ersten Teil werden ein ausführlicher Stand der Technik und eine Diskussion der bei der Fernsteuerung mobiler Roboter über das Internet zu lösenden Probleme gegeben. Der Fokus der zu realisierenden Anwendung in diesem Teil der Arbeit liegt auf einem verteilten Tele-Labor mit Experimenten zu mobilen Robotern, welche über das Internet weltweit zugänglich sind. Hierzu werden Link-Analysen der zugrundeliegenden Kommunikationsinfrastruktur zu Hilfe genommen, um ein robustes System zu realisieren. Die entwickelte und implementierte Architektur des verteilten Tele-Labors erlaubt einen reibungslosen Zugang auch für Verbindungen mit variabler oder schlechter Linkqualität. Im zweiten Teil werden ad-hoc Netzwerke mobiler Roboter behandelt. Die Vernetzung mobiler Roboter über mobile ad-hoc Netzwerke ist eine vielversprechende Möglichkeit um integrierte Telematiksysteme zu realisieren ohne auf zuvor existierende Infrastruktur angewiesen zu sein. Relevante Einsatzszenarien im zivilen Bereich sind zum Beispiel Such- und Rettungsszenarien, in denen die Rettungskräfte vor Ort durch vernetzte Multi-Roboter Systeme unterstütz werden. Hier werden dann mobile Roboter, Menschen und gegebenenfalls auch vorhandene stationäre Sensoren schnell und effizient vernetzt. In dieser Arbeit werden dazu verschieden ad-hoc Routing-Protokolle für IEEE 802.11 basierte Drahtlosnetzwerke in relevanten Szenarien untersucht und deren Leistungsfähigkeit verglichen. Die Analyse der verschiedenen Protokolle erlaubt eine Optimierung der Parametereinstellung, um diese ad-hoc Routing-Protokolle zur Fernsteuerung mobiler Roboter nutzbar zu machen. Weiterhin werden Richtlinien zur Realisierung solcher Telematiksysteme erarbeitet und Mechanismen zur Verkehrsformung auf Applikationsebene präsentiert, die eine effizientere Nutzung der vorhandenen Kommunikationskanäle erlauben. Als weiteres Anwendungsbeispiel ist die Integration eines ferngesteuerten Kleinhubschraubers in ein IP basiertes ad-hoc Netz beschrieben. Der dritte Teil der Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Fernsteuerung mobiler Roboter über Mobilfunktechnologien der 3. Generation. Die hohe Verfügbarkeit der UMTS-Technologie mit der verbundenen Mobilität und der gleichzeitigen hohen Bandbreite bietet hier eine interessante Möglichkeit um die Fernsteuerung mobiler Roboter oder auch interaktive Fernwartungsszenarien zu realisieren. In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden wichtige Parameter der UMTS Verbindung analysiert und auch die Charakteristiken der Verbindung für verschiedene Verkehrsströme ermittelt. Diese dienen dann zur Erstellung von Richtlinien, die zur Umsetzung der interaktive Fernwartungsszenarien oder auch der Fernsteuerung mobiler Roboter nötig sind. Die in dieser Arbeit erstellten Richtlinien zum Entwurf von Telematiksystemen wurden aus Analysen und Experimenten mit realer Hardware abgeleitet.

However this broad classification is not sufficient to effectively and thoroughly understand and interpret the Quran. The chronology of revelation would not only improve comprehending the philosophy of Islam, but also the easiness of implementing and memorizing its laws and recommendations. This paper attempts estimating possible chapters’ dates of revelation through their lexical frequency profiles. A hybrid statistical classifier consisting of stemming and clustering algorithms for comparing lexical frequency profiles of chapters, and deriving dates of revelation has been developed. The classifier is trained using some chapters with known dates of revelation. Then it classifies chapters with uncertain dates of revelation by computing their proximity to the training ones. The results reported here indicate that the proposed methodology yields usable results in estimating dates of revelation of the Quran’s chapters based on their lexical contents.

In dieser Dissertation wird untersucht wie Mixed-Reality Technologien für Nutzerschnittstellen genutzt werden können, um diese Gesamtperformanz zu erhöhen. Hierzu werden Konzepte und Technologien entwickelt, die durch Evaluierung mit Nutzertest ein optimiertes und anwenderbezogenes Design von Mixed-Reality Nutzerschnittstellen ermöglichen. Er werden somit sowohl die technische Anforderungen als auch die menschlichen Faktoren für ein konsistentes Systemdesign berücksichtigt. Nach einer detaillierten Problemanalyse und der Erstellung eines Systemmodels, das den Menschen als Schlüsselkomponente mit einbezieht, wird zunächst die Anwendung der neuartigen 3D-Time-of-Flight Kamera zur Navigation von Robotern, aber auch für den Einsatz in Mixed-Reality Schnittstellen analysiert und optimiert. Weiterhin wird gezeigt, wie sich der Netzwerkverkehr des Videostroms als wichtigstes Informationselement der meisten Nutzerschnittstellen für die Navigationsaufgabe auf der Netzwerk Applikationsebene in typischen Multi-Roboter Netzwerken mit dynamischen Topologien und Lastsituation optimieren lässt. Hierdurch ist es möglich in sonst in sonst typischen Ausfallszenarien den Videostrom zu erhalten und die Bildrate zu stabilisieren. Diese fortgeschrittenen Technologien werden dann auch dem entwickelten Konzept der generischen 3D Mixed Reality Schnittselle eingesetzt. Dieses Konzept ermöglicht eine integrierte 3D Darstellung der verfügbaren Information, so dass räumliche Beziehungen von Informationen aufrechterhalten werden und somit die Anzahl der mentalen Transformationen beim menschlichen Bediener reduziert wird. Gleichzeitig werden durch diesen Ansatz auch immersive Stereo Anzeigetechnologien unterstützt, welche zusätzlich das räumliche Verständnis der entfernten Situation fördern. Die in der Dissertation vorgestellten und evaluierten Ansätze nutzen auch die Tatsache, dass sich eine lokale Autonomie von Robotern heute sehr robust realisieren lässt. Dies wird zum Beispiel zur Realisierung eines Assistenzsystems mit variabler Autonomie eingesetzt. Hierbei erhält der Fernbediener über eine Kraftrückkopplung kombiniert mit einer integrierten Augmented Reality Schnittstelle, einen Eindruck über die Situation am entfernten Arbeitsbereich, aber auch über die aktuelle Navigationsintention des Roboters. Die durchgeführten Nutzertests belegen die signifikante Steigerung der Navigationsperformanz durch den entwickelten Ansatz. Die robuste lokale Autonomie ermöglicht auch den in der Dissertation eingeführten Ansatz der prädiktiven Mixed-Reality Schnittstelle. Die durch diesen Ansatz entkoppelte Regelschleife über den Menschen ermöglicht es die Sichtbarkeit von unvermeidbaren Systemverzögerungen signifikant zu reduzieren. Zusätzlich können durch diesen Ansatz beide für die Navigation hilfreichen Blickwinkel in einer 3D-Nutzerschnittstelle kombiniert werden – der exozentrische Blickwinkel und der egozentrische Blickwinkel als Augmented Reality Sicht. N2 - With the progress in robotics research the human machine interfaces reach more and more the status of being the major limiting factor for the overall system performance of a system for remote navigation and coordination of robots. In this monograph it is elaborated how mixed reality technologies can be applied for the user interfaces in order to increase the overall system performance. Concepts, technologies, and frameworks are developed and evaluated in user studies which enable for novel user-centered approaches to the design of mixed-reality user interfaces for remote robot operation. Both the technological requirements and the human factors are considered to achieve a consistent system design. Novel technologies like 3D time-of-flight cameras are investigated for the application in the navigation tasks and for the application in the developed concept of a generic mixed reality user interface. In addition it is shown how the network traffic of a video stream can be shaped on application layer in order to reach a stable frame rate in dynamic networks. The elaborated generic mixed reality framework enables an integrated 3D graphical user interface. The realized spatial integration and visualization of available information reduces the demand for mental transformations for the human operator and supports the use of immersive stereo devices. The developed concepts make also use of the fact that local robust autonomy components can be realized and thus can be incorporated as assistance systems for the human operators. A sliding autonomy concept is introduced combining force and visual augmented reality feedback. The force feedback component allows rendering the robot's current navigation intention to the human operator, such that a real sliding autonomy with seamless transitions is achieved. The user-studies prove the significant increase in navigation performance by application of this concept. The generic mixed reality user interface together with robust local autonomy enables a further extension of the teleoperation system to a short-term predictive mixed reality user interface. With the presented concept of operation, it is possible to significantly reduce the visibility of system delays for the human operator. In addition, both advantageous characteristics of a 3D graphical user interface for robot teleoperation- an exocentric view and an augmented reality view – can be combined.

For instance a quotation that starts in one verse and ends in another verse. The problem of overlapping hierarchies is a recurring one, which has been addressed by a variety of approaches. There are XML based solutions as well as Non-XML ones. The XML-based solutions are: multiple documents, empty elements, fragmentation, out-of-line markup, JITT and BUVH. And the Non-XML approaches comprise CONCUR/XCONCUR, MECS, LMNL ...etc. This paper presents shortly state-of-the-art in overlapping hierarchies, and introduces two variations on the TEI fragmentation markup that have several advantages.

The communication challenges in these networks mainly result from high node density, low bandwidth, low energy constraints and the hardware limitations in terms of memory, computational power and sensing capabilities of low-power transceivers. For this reason, the structure of WSNs is always kept as simple as possible to minimize the impact of communication issues. Thus, the majority of WSNs apply a simple one hop star topology since multi-hop communication has high demands on the routing protocol since it increases the bandwidth requirements of the network. Moreover, medium access becomes a challenging problem due to the fact that low-power transceivers are very limited in their sensing capabilities. The first contribution is represented by the Backoff Preamble-based MAC Protocol with Sequential Contention Resolution (BPS-MAC) which is designed to overcome the limitations of low-power transceivers. Two communication issues, namely the Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) delay and the turnaround time, are directly addressed by the protocol. The CCA delay represents the period of time which is required by the transceiver to detect a busy radio channel while the turnaround time specifies the period of time which is required to switch between receive and transmit mode. Standard Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA) protocols do not achieve high performance in terms of packet loss if the traffic is highly correlated due to the fact that the transceiver is not able to sense the medium during the switching phase. Therefore, a node may start to transmit data while another node is already transmitting since it has sensed an idle medium right before it started to switch its transceiver from receive to transmit mode. The BPS-MAC protocol uses a new sequential preamble-based medium access strategy which can be adapted to the hardware capabilities of the transceivers. The protocol achieves a very low packet loss rate even in wireless networks with high node density and event-driven traffic without the need of synchronization. This makes the protocol attractive to applications such as structural health monitoring, where event suppression is not an option. Moreover, acknowledgments or complex retransmission strategies become almost unnecessary since the sequential preamble-based contention resolution mechanism minimizes the collision probability. However, packets can still be lost as a consequence of interference or other issues which affect signal propagation. The second contribution consists of a new routing protocol which is able to quickly detect topology changes without generating a large amount of overhead. The key characteristics of the Statistic-Based Routing (SBR) protocol are high end-to-end reliability (in fixed and mobile networks), load balancing capabilities, a smooth continuous routing metric, quick adaptation to changing network conditions, low processing and memory requirements, low overhead, support of unidirectional links and simplicity. The protocol can establish routes in a hybrid or a proactive mode and uses an adaptive continuous routing metric which makes it very flexible in terms of scalability while maintaining stable routes. The hybrid mode is optimized for low-power WSNs since routes are only established on demand. The difference of the hybrid mode to reactive routing strategies is that routing messages are periodically transmitted to maintain already established routes. However, the protocol stops the transmission of routing messages if no data packets are transmitted for a certain time period in order to minimize the routing overhead and the energy consumption. The proactive mode is designed for high data rate networks which have less energy constraints. In this mode, the protocol periodically transmits routing messages to establish routes in a proactive way even in the absence of data traffic. Thus, nodes in the network can immediately transmit data since the route to the destination is already established in advance. In addition, a new delay-based routing message forwarding strategy is introduced. The forwarding strategy is part of SBR but can also be applied to many routing protocols in order to modify the established topology. The strategy can be used, e.g. in mobile networks, to decrease the packet loss by deferring routing messages with respect to the neighbor change rate. Thus, nodes with a stable neighborhood forward messages faster than nodes within a fast changing neighborhood. As a result, routes are established through nodes with correlated movement which results in fewer topology changes due to higher link durations.

The layout engine is well documented but the rendering engine is not. This lack of documenting the rendering engine has made refactoring and extending the editor hard and tedious. For instance many CSS2.1 and upcoming CSS3 properties have not been implemented. Software developers in different projects such as TextGrid using Vex would like to update its CSS rendering engine in order to provide advanced user interfaces as well as support different document types. In order to minimize the effort of extending Vex functionality, I found it beneficial to write a basic documentation about Vex software architecture in general and its CSS rendering engine in particular. The documentation is mainly based on the idea of architectural layered diagrams. In fact layered diagrams can help developers understand software’s source code faster and easier in order to alter it, and fix errors. This paper is written for the purpose of providing direct support for exploration in the comprehension process of Vex source code. It discusses Vex software architecture. The organization of packages that make up the software, the architecture of its CSS rendering engine, an algorithm explaining the working principle of its rendering engine are described.

For instance a CSS processing model for XML documents describes steps involved in formatting and presenting XML documents on screens or papers. Many software applications such as browsers and XML editors have their own CSS processing models which are part of their rendering engines. For instance each browser based on its CSS processing model renders CSS layout differently, as a result an inconsistency in the support of CSS features arises. Some browsers support more CSS features than others, and the rendering itself varies. Moreover the W3C standards are not even adhered by some browsers such as Internet Explorer. Test suites and other hacks and filters cannot definitely solve these problems, because these solutions are temporary and fragile. To palliate this inconsistency and browser compatibility issues with respect to CSS, a reference CSS processing model is needed. By extension it could even allow interoperability across CSS rendering engines. A reference architecture would provide common software architecture and interfaces, and facilitate refactoring, reuse, and automated unit testing. In [2] a reference architecture for browsers has been proposed. However this reference architecture is a macro reference model which does not consider separately individual components of rendering and layout engines. In this paper an attempt to develop a reference architecture for CSS processing models is discussed. In addition the Vex editor [3] rendering and layout engines, as well as an extended version of the editor used in TextGrid project [5] are also presented in order to validate the proposed reference architecture.

The world wide web is a large repository of information that cannot be used for automation by many applications due to its limited target audience. One of the solutions to the automation problem is to develop wrappers. Wrapping is a process whereby unstructured extracted information is transformed into a more structured one such as XML, which could be provided as webservice to other applications. A web service is a web page whose content is well structured so that a computer program can consume it automatically. This paper describes steps involved in constructing wrappers manually in order to automatically generate web services.

The composition technology involves the process of web service discovery, invocation, and composition. However these technologies are not easy and flexible enough because they are mainly developer-centric. Moreover majority of websites have not yet embarked into the world of web service, although they have very important and useful information to offer. Is it because they have not understood the usefulness of web services or is it because of the costs? Whatever might be the answers to these questions, time and money are definitely required in order to create and offer web services. To avoid these expenditures, wrappers [7] to automatically generate webservices from websites would be a cheaper and easier solution. Mashups offer a different way of doing webservices composition. In web environment a Mashup is a web application that brings together data from several sources using webservices, APIs, wrappers and so on, in order to create entirely a new application that was not provided before. This paper presents first an overview of Mashups and the process of web service invocation and composition based on Mashup, then describes an example of a web-based simulator for navigation system in Germany.

Besides the established fields of application, also production lines with industrial robots and the surrounding plant components are in need of being remotely accessible. This is especially critical for maintenance or if an unexpected problem cannot be solved by the local specialists. Special machine manufacturers, especially robotics companies, sell their technology worldwide. Some factories, for example in emerging economies, lack qualified personnel for repair and maintenance tasks. When a severe failure occurs, an expert of the manufacturer needs to fly there, which leads to long down times of the machine or even the whole production line. With the development of data networks, a huge part of those travels can be omitted, if appropriate teleoperation equipment is provided. This thesis describes the development of a telemaintenance system, which was established in an active production line for research purposes. The customer production site of Braun in Marktheidenfeld, a factory which belongs to Procter & Gamble, consists of a six-axis cartesian industrial robot by KUKA Industries, a two-component injection molding system and an assembly unit. The plant produces plastic parts for electric toothbrushes. In the research projects "MainTelRob" and "Bayern.digital", during which this plant was utilised, the Zentrum für Telematik e.V. (ZfT) and its project partners develop novel technical approaches and procedures for modern telemaintenance. The term "telemaintenance" hereby refers to the integration of computer science and communication technologies into the maintenance strategy. It is particularly interesting for high-grade capital-intensive goods like industrial robots. Typical telemaintenance tasks are for example the analysis of a robot failure or difficult repair operations. The service department of KUKA Industries is responsible for the worldwide distributed customers who own more than one robot. Currently such tasks are offered via phone support and service staff which travels abroad. They want to expand their service activities on telemaintenance and struggle with the high demands of teleoperation especially regarding security infrastructure. In addition, the facility in Marktheidenfeld has to keep up with the high international standards of Procter & Gamble and wants to minimize machine downtimes. Like 71.6 % of all German companies, P&G sees a huge potential for early information on their production system, but complains about the insufficient quality and the lack of currentness of data. The main research focus of this work lies on the human machine interface for all human tasks in a telemaintenance setup. This thesis provides own work in the use of a mobile device in context of maintenance, describes new tools on asynchronous remote analysis and puts all parts together in an integrated telemaintenance infrastructure. With the help of Augmented Reality, the user performance and satisfaction could be raised. A special regard is put upon the situation awareness of the remote expert realized by different camera viewpoints. In detail the work consists of: - Support of maintenance tasks with a mobile device - Development and evaluation of a context-aware inspection tool - Comparison of a new touch-based mobile robot programming device to the former teach pendant - Study on Augmented Reality support for repair tasks with a mobile device - Condition monitoring for a specific plant with industrial robot - Human computer interaction for remote analysis of a single plant cycle - A big data analysis tool for a multitude of cycles and similar plants - 3D process visualization for a specific plant cycle with additional virtual information - Network architecture in hardware, software and network infrastructure - Mobile device computer supported collaborative work for telemaintenance - Motor exchange telemaintenance example in running production environment - Augmented reality supported remote plant visualization for better situation awareness N2 - Die Fernsteuerung technisch hochentwickelter Systeme ist seit vielen Jahren ein breites Forschungsfeld, vor allem im Bereich von Weltraum- und Robotikanwendungen. Allerdings hat die Automatisierungsindustrie bislang zu wenig von den Ergebnissen dieses Forschungsgebiets profitiert. Auch Fertigungslinien mit Industrierobotern und weiterer Anlagenkomponenten müssen über die Ferne zugänglich sein, besonders bei Wartungsfällen oder wenn unvorhergesehene Probleme nicht von den lokalen Spezialisten gelöst werden können. Hersteller von Sondermaschinen wie Robotikfirmen verkaufen ihre Technologie weltweit. Kunden dieser Firmen besitzen beispielsweise Fabriken in Schwellenländern, wo es an qualifizierten Personal für Reparatur und Wartung mangelt. Wenn ein ernster Fehler auftaucht, muss daher ein Experte des Sondermaschinenherstellers zum Kunden fliegen. Das führt zu langen Stillstandzeiten der Maschine. Durch die Weiterentwicklung der Datennetze könnte ein großer Teil dieser Reisen unterbleiben, wenn eine passende Fernwartungsinfrastruktur vorliegen würde. Diese Arbeit beschreibt die Entwicklung eines Fernwartungssystems, welches in einer aktiven Produktionsumgebung für Forschungszwecke eingerichtet wurde. Die Fertigungsanlage des Kunden wurde von Procter & Gamble in Marktheidenfeld zur Verfügung gestellt und besteht aus einem sechsachsigen, kartesischen Industrieroboter von KUKA Industries, einer Zweikomponentenspritzgussanlage und einer Montageeinheit. Die Anlage produziert Plastikteile für elektrische Zahnbürsten. Diese Anlage wurde im Rahmen der Forschungsprojekte "MainTelRob" und "Bayern.digital" verwendet, in denen das Zentrum für Telematik e.V. (ZfT) und seine Projektpartner neue Ansätze und Prozeduren für moderne Fernwartungs-Technologien entwickeln. Fernwartung bedeutet für uns die umfassende Integration von Informatik und Kommunikationstechnologien in der Wartungsstrategie. Das ist vor allem für hochentwickelte, kapitalintensive Güter wie Industrierobotern interessant. Typische Fernwartungsaufgaben sind beispielsweise die Analyse von Roboterfehlermeldungen oder schwierige Reparaturmaßnahmen. Die Service-Abteilung von KUKA Industries ist für die weltweit verteilten Kunden zuständig, die teilweise auch mehr als einen Roboter besitzen. Aktuell werden derartige Aufgaben per Telefonauskunft oder mobilen Servicekräften, die zum Kunden reisen, erledigt. Will man diese komplizierten Aufgaben durch Fernwartung ersetzen um die Serviceaktivitäten auszuweiten muss man mit den hohen Anforderungen von Fernsteuerung zurechtkommen, besonders in Bezug auf Security Infrastruktur. Eine derartige umfassende Herangehensweise an Fernwartung bietet aber auch einen lokalen Mehrwert beim Kunden: Die Fabrik in Marktheidenfeld muss den hohen internationalen Standards von Procter & Gamble folgen und will daher die Stillstandzeiten weiter verringern. Wie 71,6 Prozent aller deutschen Unternehmen sieht auch P&G Marktheidenfeld ein großes Potential für frühe Informationen aus ihrem Produktionssystem, haben aber aktuell noch Probleme mit der Aktualität und Qualität dieser Daten. Der Hauptfokus der hier vorgestellten Forschung liegt auf der Mensch-Maschine-Schnittstelle für alle Aufgaben eines umfassenden Fernwartungskontextes. Diese Arbeit stellt die eigene Arbeiten bei der Verwendung mobiler Endgeräte im Kontext der Wartung und neue Softwarewerkzeuge für die asynchrone Fernanalyse vor und integriert diese Aspekte in eine Fernwartungsinfrastruktur. In diesem Kontext kann gezeigt werden, dass der Einsatz von Augmented Reality die Nutzerleistung und gleichzeitig die Zufriedenheit steigern kann. Dabei wird auf das sogenannte "situative Bewusstsein" des entfernten Experten besonders Wert gelegt. Im Detail besteht die Arbeit aus: - Unterstützung von Wartungsaufgaben mit mobilen Endgeräten - Entwicklung und Evaluation kontextsensitiver Inspektionssoftware - Vergleich von touch-basierten Roboterprogrammierung mit der Vorgängerversion des Programmierhandgeräts - Studien über die Unterstützung von Reparaturaufgaben durch Augmented Reality - Zustandsüberwachung für eine spezielle Anlage mit Industrieroboter - Mensch-Maschine Interaktion für die Teleanalyse eines Produktionszyklus - Grafische Big Data Analyse einer Vielzahl von Produktionszyklen - 3D Prozess Visualisierung und Anreicherung mit virtuellen Informationen - Hardware, Software und Netzwerkarchitektur für die Fernwartung - Computerunterstützte Zusammenarbeit mit Verwendung mobiler Endgeräte für die Fernwartung - Fernwartungsbeispiel: Durchführung eines Motortauschs in der laufenden Produktion - Augmented Reality unterstütze Visualisierung des Anlagenkontextes für die Steigerung des situativen Bewusstseins T3 - Forschungsberichte in der Robotik = Research Notes in Robotics - 13 KW - Fernwartung KW - Robotik KW - Mensch-Maschine-Schnittstelle KW - Erweiterte Realität KW - Situation Awareness KW - Industrie 4.0 KW - Industrial internet Y1 - 2017 U6 - http://nbn-resolving.de/urn/resolver.pl?urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-150520 SN - 978-3-945459-18-8 ER -
