Der Betrieb von Satelliten wird sich in Zukunft gravierend ändern. Die bisher ausgeübte konventionelle Vorgehensweise, bei der die Planung der vom Satelliten auszuführenden Aktivitäten sowie die Kontrolle hierüber ausschließlich vom Boden aus erfolgen, stößt bei heutigen Anwendungen an ihre Grenzen. Im schlimmsten Fall verhindert dieser Umstand sogar die Erschließung bisher ungenutzter Möglichkeiten. Der Gewinn eines Satelliten, sei es in Form wissenschaftlicher Daten oder der Vermarktung satellitengestützter Dienste, wird daher nicht optimal ausgeschöpft.
Die Ursache für dieses Problem lässt sich im Grunde auf eine ausschlaggebende Tatsache zurückführen: Konventionelle Satelliten können ihr Verhalten, d.h. die Folge ihrer Tätigkeiten, nicht eigenständig anpassen. Stattdessen erstellt das Bedienpersonal am Boden - vor allem die Operatoren - mit Hilfe von Planungssoftware feste Ablaufpläne, die dann in Form von Kommandosequenzen von den Bodenstationen aus an die jeweiligen Satelliten hochgeladen werden. Dort werden die Befehle lediglich überprüft, interpretiert und strikt ausgeführt. Die Abarbeitung erfolgt linear. Situationsbedingte Änderungen, wie sie vergleichsweise bei der Codeausführung von Softwareprogrammen durch Kontrollkonstrukte, zum Beispiel Schleifen und Verzweigungen, üblich sind, sind typischerweise nicht vorgesehen. Der Operator ist daher die einzige Instanz, die das Verhalten des Satelliten mittels Kommandierung, per Upload, beeinflussen kann, und auch nur dann, wenn ein direkter Funkkontakt zwischen Satellit und Bodenstation besteht. Die dadurch möglichen Reaktionszeiten des Satelliten liegen bestenfalls bei einigen Sekunden, falls er sich im Wirkungsbereich der Bodenstation befindet. Außerhalb des Kontaktfensters kann sich die Zeitschranke, gegeben durch den Orbit und die aktuelle Position des Satelliten, von einigen Minuten bis hin zu einigen Stunden erstrecken. Die Signallaufzeiten der Funkübertragung verlängern die Reaktionszeiten um weitere Sekunden im erdnahen Bereich. Im interplanetaren Raum erstrecken sich die Zeitspannen aufgrund der immensen Entfernungen sogar auf mehrere Minuten. Dadurch bedingt liegt die derzeit technologisch mögliche, bodengestützte, Reaktionszeit von Satelliten bestenfalls im Bereich von einigen Sekunden.
Diese Einschränkung stellt ein schweres Hindernis für neuartige Satellitenmissionen, bei denen insbesondere nichtdeterministische und kurzzeitige Phänomene (z.B. Blitze und Meteoreintritte in die Erdatmosphäre) Gegenstand der Beobachtungen sind, dar. Die langen Reaktionszeiten des konventionellen Satellitenbetriebs verhindern die Realisierung solcher Missionen, da die verzögerte Reaktion erst erfolgt, nachdem das zu beobachtende Ereignis bereits abgeschlossen ist.
Die vorliegende Dissertation zeigt eine Möglichkeit, das durch die langen Reaktionszeiten entstandene Problem zu lösen, auf. Im Zentrum des Lösungsansatzes steht dabei die Autonomie. Im Wesentlichen geht es dabei darum, den Satelliten mit der Fähigkeit auszustatten, sein Verhalten, d.h. die Folge seiner Tätigkeiten, eigenständig zu bestimmen bzw. zu ändern. Dadurch wird die direkte Abhängigkeit des Satelliten vom Operator bei Reaktionen aufgehoben. Im Grunde wird der Satellit in die Lage versetzt, sich selbst zu kommandieren.
Die Idee der Autonomie wurde im Rahmen der zugrunde liegenden Forschungsarbeiten umgesetzt. Das Ergebnis ist ein autonomes Planungssystem. Dabei handelt es sich um ein Softwaresystem, mit dem sich autonomes Verhalten im Satelliten realisieren lässt. Es kann an unterschiedliche Satellitenmissionen angepasst werden. Ferner deckt es verschiedene Aspekte des autonomen Satellitenbetriebs, angefangen bei der generellen Entscheidungsfindung der Tätigkeiten, über die zeitliche Ablaufplanung unter Einbeziehung von Randbedingungen (z.B. Ressourcen) bis hin zur eigentlichen Ausführung, d.h. Kommandierung, ab. Das Planungssystem kommt als Anwendung in ASAP, einer autonomen Sensorplattform, zum Einsatz. Es ist ein optisches System und dient der Detektion von kurzzeitigen Phänomenen und Ereignissen in der Erdatmosphäre.
Die Forschungsarbeiten an dem autonomen Planungssystem, an ASAP sowie an anderen zu diesen in Bezug stehenden Systemen wurden an der Professur für Raumfahrttechnik des Lehrstuhls Informatik VIII der Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg durchgeführt.
A complete simulation system is proposed that can be used as an educational tool by physicians in training basic skills of Minimally Invasive Vascular Interventions. In the first part, a surface model is developed to assemble arteries having a planar segmentation. It is based on Sweep Surfaces and can be extended to T- and Y-like bifurcations. A continuous force vector field is described, representing the interaction between the catheter and the surface. The computation time of the force field is almost unaffected when the resolution of the artery is increased.
The mechanical properties of arteries play an essential role in the study of the circulatory system dynamics, which has been becoming increasingly important in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. In Virtual Reality Simulators, it is crucial to have a tissue model that responds in real time. In this work, the arteries are discretized by a two dimensional mesh and the nodes are connected by three kinds of linear springs. Three tissue layers (Intima, Media, Adventitia) are considered and, starting from the stretch-energy density, some of the elasticity tensor components are calculated. The physical model linearizes and homogenizes the material response, but it still contemplates the geometric nonlinearity. In general, if the arterial stretch varies by 1% or less, then the agreement between the linear and nonlinear models is trustworthy.
In the last part, the physical model of the wire proposed by Konings is improved. As a result, a simpler and more stable method is obtained to calculate the equilibrium configuration of the wire. In addition, a geometrical method is developed to perform relaxations. It is particularly useful when the wire is hindered in the physical method because of the boundary conditions. The physical and the geometrical methods are merged, resulting in efficient relaxations. Tests show that the shape of the virtual wire agrees with the experiment. The proposed algorithm allows real-time executions and the hardware to assemble the simulator has a low cost.
Imagine a technology that automatically creates a full 3D thermal model of an environment and detects temperature peaks in it. For better orientation in the model it is enhanced with color information. The current state of the art for analyzing temperature related issues is thermal imaging. It is relevant for energy efficiency but also for securing important infrastructure such as power supplies and temperature regulation systems. Monitoring and analysis of the data for a large building is tedious as stable conditions need to be guaranteed for several hours and detailed notes about the pose and the environment conditions for each image must be taken. For some applications repeated measurements are necessary to monitor changes over time. The analysis of the scene is only possible through expertise and experience.
This thesis proposes a robotic system that creates a full 3D model of the environment with color and thermal information by combining thermal imaging with the technology of terrestrial laser scanning. The addition of a color camera facilitates the interpretation of the data and allows for other application areas. The data from all sensors collected at different positions is joined in one common reference frame using calibration and scan matching. The first part of the thesis deals with 3D point cloud processing with the emphasis on accessing point cloud data efficiently, detecting planar structures in the data and registering multiple point clouds into one common coordinate system. The second part covers the autonomous exploration and data acquisition with a mobile robot with the objective to minimize the unseen area in 3D space. Furthermore, the combination of different modalities, color images, thermal images and point cloud data through calibration is elaborated. The last part presents applications for the the collected data. Among these are methods to detect the structure of building interiors for reconstruction purposes and subsequent detection and classification of windows. A system to project the gathered thermal information back into the scene is presented as well as methods to improve the color information and to join separately acquired point clouds and photo series.
A full multi-modal 3D model contains all the relevant geometric information about the recorded scene and enables an expert to fully analyze it off-site. The technology clears the path for automatically detecting points of interest thereby helping the expert to analyze the heat flow as well as localize and identify heat leaks. The concept is modular and neither limited to achieving energy efficiency nor restricted to the use in combination with a mobile platform. It also finds its application in fields such as archaeology and geology and can be extended by further sensors.
The issue of sustainability is at the top of the political and societal agenda, being considered of extreme importance and urgency. Human individual action impacts the environment both locally (e.g., local air/water quality, noise disturbance) and globally (e.g., climate change, resource use). Urban environments represent a crucial example, with an increasing realization that the most effective way of producing a change is involving the citizens themselves in monitoring campaigns (a citizen science bottom-up approach). This is possible by developing novel technologies and IT infrastructures enabling large citizen participation. Here, in the wider framework of one of the first such projects, we show results from an international competition where citizens were involved in mobile air pollution monitoring using low cost sensing devices, combined with a web-based game to monitor perceived levels of pollution. Measures of shift in perceptions over the course of the campaign are provided, together with insights into participatory patterns emerging from this study. Interesting effects related to inertia and to direct involvement in measurement activities rather than indirect information exposure are also highlighted, indicating that direct involvement can enhance learning and environmental awareness. In the future, this could result in better adoption of policies towards decreasing pollution.
While teleoperation of technical highly sophisticated systems has already been a wide field of research, especially for space and robotics applications, the automation industry has not yet benefited from its results. 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
Modern software is often realized as a modular combination of subsystems for, e. g.,
knowledge management, visualization, verification, or the interaction with users. As
a result, software libraries from possibly different programming languages have to
work together. Even more complex the case is if different programming paradigms
have to be combined. This type of diversification of programming languages and
paradigms in just one software application can only be mastered by mechanisms
for a seamless integration of the involved programming languages. However, the
integration of the common logic programming language Prolog and the popular
object-oriented programming language Java is complicated by various interoperability
problems which stem on the one hand from the paradigmatic gap between the
programming languages, and on the other hand, from the diversity of the available
Prolog systems.
The subject of the thesis is the investigation of novel mechanisms for the integration
of logic programming in Prolog and object–oriented programming in Java. We are
particularly interested in an object–oriented, uniform approach which is not specific
to just one Prolog system. Therefore, we have first identified several important
criteria for the seamless integration of Prolog and Java from the object–oriented
perspective. The main contribution of the thesis is a novel integration framework
called the Connector Architecture for Prolog and Java (CAPJa). The framework is
completely implemented in Java and imposes no modifications to the Java Virtual
Machine or Prolog. CAPJa provides a semi–automated mechanism for the integration
of Prolog predicates into Java. For compact, readable, and object–oriented
queries to Prolog, CAPJa exploits lambda expressions with conditional and relational
operators in Java. The communication between Java and Prolog is based
on a fully automated mapping of Java objects to Prolog terms, and vice versa. In
Java, an extensible system of gateways provides connectivity with various Prolog
system and, moreover, makes any connected Prolog system easily interchangeable,
without major adaption in Java.
This article presents an immersive virtual reality (VR) system for training classroom management skills, with a specific focus on learning to manage disruptive student behavior in face-to-face, one-to-many teaching scenarios. The core of the system is a real-time 3D virtual simulation of a classroom populated by twenty-four semi-autonomous virtual students. The system has been designed as a companion tool for classroom management seminars in a syllabus for primary and secondary school teachers. This will allow lecturers to link theory with practice using the medium of VR. The system is therefore designed for two users: a trainee teacher and an instructor supervising the training session. The teacher is immersed in a real-time 3D simulation of a classroom by means of a head-mounted display and headphone. The instructor operates a graphical desktop console, which renders a view of the class and the teacher whose avatar movements are captured by a marker less tracking system. This console includes a 2D graphics menu with convenient behavior and feedback control mechanisms to provide human-guided training sessions. The system is built using low-cost consumer hardware and software. Its architecture and technical design are described in detail. A first evaluation confirms its conformance to critical usability requirements (i.e., safety and comfort, believability, simplicity, acceptability, extensibility, affordability, and mobility). Our initial results are promising and constitute the necessary first step toward a possible investigation of the efficiency and effectiveness of such a system in terms of learning outcomes and experience.
An innovative framework has been developed for teamwork of two quadcopter formations, each having its specified formation geometry, assigned task, and matching control scheme. Position control for quadcopters in one of the formations has been implemented through a Linear Quadratic Regulator Proportional Integral (LQR PI) control scheme based on explicit model following scheme. Quadcopters in the other formation are controlled through LQR PI servomechanism control scheme. These two control schemes are compared in terms of their performance and control effort. Both formations are commanded by respective ground stations through virtual leaders. Quadcopters in formations are able to track desired trajectories as well as hovering at desired points for selected time duration. In case of communication loss between ground station and any of the quadcopters, the neighboring quadcopter provides the command data, received from the ground station, to the affected unit. Proposed control schemes have been validated through extensive simulations using MATLAB®/Simulink® that provided favorable results.
A centralized heterogeneous formation flight position control scheme has been formulated using an explicit model following design, based on a Linear Quadratic Regulator Proportional Integral (LQR PI) controller. The leader quadcopter is a stable reference model with desired dynamics whose output is perfectly tracked by the two wingmen quadcopters. The leader itself is controlled through the pole placement control method with desired stability characteristics, while the two followers are controlled through a robust and adaptive LQR PI control method. Selected 3-D formation geometry and static stability are maintained under a number of possible perturbations. With this control scheme, formation geometry may also be switched to any arbitrary shape during flight, provided a suitable collision avoidance mechanism is incorporated. In case of communication loss between the leader and any of the followers, the other follower provides the data, received from the leader, to the affected follower. The stability of the closed-loop system has been analyzed using singular values. The proposed approach for the tightly coupled formation flight of mini unmanned aerial vehicles has been validated with the help of extensive simulations using MATLAB/Simulink, which provided promising results.
In the present work, a simulation system is proposed that can be used as an educational tool by physicians in training basic skills of minimally invasive vascular interventions. In order to accomplish this objective, initially the physical model of the wire proposed by Konings has been improved. As a result, a simpler and more stable method was obtained to calculate the equilibrium configuration of the wire. In addition, a geometrical method is developed to perform relaxations. It is particularly useful when the wire is hindered in the physical method because of the boundary conditions. Then a recipe is given to merge the physical and the geometrical methods, resulting in efficient relaxations. Moreover, tests have shown that the shape of the virtual wire agrees with the experiment. The proposed algorithm allows real-time executions, and furthermore, the hardware to assemble the simulator has a low cost.
3D point clouds are a de facto standard for 3D documentation and modelling. The advances in laser scanning technology broadens the usability and access to 3D measurement systems. 3D point clouds are used in many disciplines such as robotics, 3D modelling, archeology and surveying. Scanners are able to acquire up to a million of points per second to represent the environment with a dense point cloud. This represents the captured environment with a very high degree of detail. The combination of laser scanning technology with photography adds color information to the point clouds. Thus the environment is represented more realistically. Full 3D models of environments, without any occlusion, require multiple scans. Merging point clouds is a challenging process. This thesis presents methods for point cloud registration based on the panorama images generated from the scans. Image representation of point clouds introduces 2D image processing methods to 3D point clouds. Several projection methods for the generation of panorama maps of point clouds are presented in this thesis. Additionally, methods for point cloud reduction and compression based on the panorama maps are proposed. Due to the large amounts of data generated from the 3D measurement systems these methods are necessary to improve the point cloud processing, transmission and archiving. This thesis introduces point cloud processing methods as a novel framework for the digitisation of archeological excavations. The framework replaces the conventional documentation methods for excavation sites. It employs point clouds for the generation of the digital documentation of an excavation with the help of an archeologist on-site. The 3D point cloud is used not only for data representation but also for analysis and knowledge generation. Finally, this thesis presents an autonomous indoor mobile mapping system. The mapping system focuses on the sensor placement planning method. Capturing a complete environment requires several scans. The sensor placement planning method solves for the minimum required scans to digitise large environments. Combining this method with a navigation system on a mobile robot platform enables it to acquire data fully autonomously. This thesis introduces a novel hole detection method for point clouds to detect obscured parts of a captured environment. The sensor placement planning method selects the next scan position with the most coverage of the obscured environment. This reduces the required number of scans. The navigation system on the robot platform consist of path planning, path following and obstacle avoidance. This guarantees the safe navigation of the mobile robot platform between the scan positions. The sensor placement planning method is designed as a stand alone process that could be used with a mobile robot platform for autonomous mapping of an environment or as an assistant tool for the surveyor on scanning projects.
Operators of Higher Order
(1998)
Motivated by results on interactive proof systems we investigate the computational power of quantifiers applied to well-known complexity classes.
In special, we are interested in existential, universal and probabilistic bounded error quantifiers ranging over words and sets of words, i.e. oracles if we think in a Turing machine model.
In addition to the standard oracle access mechanism, we also consider quantifiers ranging over oracles to which access is restricted in a certain way.
Small satellites contribute significantly in the rapidly evolving innovation in space engineering, in particular in distributed space systems for global Earth observation and communication services. Significant mass reduction by miniaturization, increased utilization of commercial high-tech components, and in particular standardization are the key drivers for modern miniature space technology.
This thesis addresses key fields in research and development on miniature satellite technology regarding efficiency, flexibility, and robustness. Here, these challenges are addressed by the University of Wuerzburg’s advanced pico-satellite bus, realizing a generic modular satellite architecture and standardized interfaces for all subsystems. The modular platform ensures reusability, scalability, and increased testability due to its flexible subsystem interface which allows efficient and compact integration of the entire satellite in a plug-and-play manner.
Beside systematic design for testability, a high degree of operational robustness is achieved by the consequent implementation of redundancy of crucial subsystems. This is combined with efficient fault detection, isolation and recovery mechanisms. Thus, the UWE-3 platform, and in particular the on-board data handling system and the electrical power system, offers one of the most efficient pico-satellite architectures launched in recent years and provides a solid basis for future extensions.
The in-orbit performance results of the pico-satellite UWE-3 are presented and summarize successful operations since its launch in 2013. Several software extensions and adaptations have been uploaded to UWE-3 increasing its capabilities. Thus, a very flexible platform for in-orbit software experiments and for evaluations of innovative concepts was provided and tested.
Graphs are a frequently used tool to model relationships among entities. A graph is a binary relation between objects, that is, it consists of a set of objects (vertices) and a set of pairs of objects (edges).
Networks are common examples of modeling data as a graph. For example, relationships between persons in a social network, or network links between computers in a telecommunication network can be represented by a graph.
The clearest way to illustrate the modeled data is to visualize the graphs. The field of Graph Drawing deals with the problem of finding algorithms to automatically generate graph visualizations. The task is to find a "good" drawing, which can be measured by different criteria such as number of crossings between edges or the used area. In this thesis, we study Angular Schematization in Graph Drawing. By this, we mean drawings
with large angles (for example, between the edges at common vertices or at crossing points).
The thesis consists of three parts. First, we deal with the placement of boxes. Boxes are axis-parallel rectangles that can, for example, contain text.
They can be placed on a map to label important sites, or can be used to describe semantic relationships between words in a word network. In the second part of the thesis, we consider graph drawings visually guide the
viewer. These drawings generally induce large angles between edges that meet at a vertex. Furthermore, the edges are drawn crossing-free and in a way that
makes them easy to follow for the human eye. The third and final part is devoted to crossings with large angles. In drawings with crossings, it is important to have large angles between edges at their crossing point, preferably right angles.
The development of ICT infrastructures has facilitated the emergence of new paradigms for looking at society and the environment over the last few years. Participatory environmental sensing, i.e. directly involving citizens in environmental monitoring, is one example, which is hoped to encourage learning and enhance awareness of environmental issues. In this paper, an analysis of the behaviour of individuals involved in noise sensing is presented. Citizens have been involved in noise measuring activities through the WideNoise smartphone application. This application has been designed to record both objective (noise samples) and subjective (opinions, feelings) data. The application has been open to be used freely by anyone and has been widely employed worldwide. In addition, several test cases have been organised in European countries. Based on the information submitted by users, an analysis of emerging awareness and learning is performed. The data show that changes in the way the environment is perceived after repeated usage of the application do appear. Specifically, users learn how to recognise different noise levels they are exposed to. Additionally, the subjective data collected indicate an increased user involvement in time and a categorisation effect between pleasant and less pleasant environments.
Background
Information extraction techniques that get structured representations out of unstructured data make a large amount of clinically relevant information about patients accessible for semantic applications. These methods typically rely on standardized terminologies that guide this process. Many languages and clinical domains, however, lack appropriate resources and tools, as well as evaluations of their applications, especially if detailed conceptualizations of the domain are required. For instance, German transthoracic echocardiography reports have not been targeted sufficiently before, despite of their importance for clinical trials. This work therefore aimed at development and evaluation of an information extraction component with a fine-grained terminology that enables to recognize almost all relevant information stated in German transthoracic echocardiography reports at the University Hospital of Würzburg.
Methods
A domain expert validated and iteratively refined an automatically inferred base terminology. The terminology was used by an ontology-driven information extraction system that outputs attribute value pairs. The final component has been mapped to the central elements of a standardized terminology, and it has been evaluated according to documents with different layouts.
Results
The final system achieved state-of-the-art precision (micro average.996) and recall (micro average.961) on 100 test documents that represent more than 90 % of all reports. In particular, principal aspects as defined in a standardized external terminology were recognized with f 1=.989 (micro average) and f 1=.963 (macro average). As a result of keyword matching and restraint concept extraction, the system obtained high precision also on unstructured or exceptionally short documents, and documents with uncommon layout.
Conclusions
The developed terminology and the proposed information extraction system allow to extract fine-grained information from German semi-structured transthoracic echocardiography reports with very high precision and high recall on the majority of documents at the University Hospital of Würzburg. Extracted results populate a clinical data warehouse which supports clinical research.
A binary tanglegram is a drawing of a pair of rooted binary trees whose leaf sets are in one-to-one correspondence; matching leaves are connected by inter-tree edges. For applications, for example, in phylogenetics, it is essential that both trees are drawn without edge crossings and that the inter-tree edges have as few crossings as possible. It is known that finding a tanglegram with the minimum number of crossings is NP-hard and that the problem is fixed-parameter tractable with respect to that number.
We prove that under the Unique Games Conjecture there is no constant-factor approximation for binary trees. We show that the problem is NP-hard even if both trees are complete binary trees. For this case we give an O(n 3)-time 2-approximation and a new, simple fixed-parameter algorithm. We show that the maximization version of the dual problem for binary trees can be reduced to a version of MaxCut for which the algorithm of Goemans and Williamson yields a 0.878-approximation.
Knowledge-based systems (KBS) face an ever-increasing interest in various disciplines and contexts. Yet, the former aim to construct the ’perfect intelligent software’ continuously shifts to user-centered, participative solutions. Such systems enable users to contribute their personal knowledge to the problem solving process for increased efficiency and an ameliorated user experience. More precisely, we define non-functional key requirements of participative KBS as: Transparency (encompassing KBS status mediation), configurability (user adaptability, degree of user control/exploration), quality of the KB and UI, and evolvability (enabling the KBS to grow mature with their users). Many of those requirements depend on the respective target users, thus calling for a more user-centered development. Often, also highly expertise domains are targeted — inducing highly complex KBs — which requires a more careful and considerate UI/interaction design. Still, current KBS engineering (KBSE) approaches mostly focus on knowledge acquisition (KA) This often leads to non-optimal, little reusable, and non/little evaluated KBS front-end solutions.
In this thesis we propose a more encompassing KBSE approach. Due to the strong mutual influences between KB and UI, we suggest a novel form of intertwined UI and KB development. We base the approach on three core components for encompassing KBSE:
(1) Extensible prototyping, a tailored form of evolutionary prototyping; this builds on mature UI prototypes and offers two extension steps for the anytime creation of core KBS prototypes (KB + core UI) and fully productive KBS (core KBS prototype + common framing functionality). (2) KBS UI patterns, that define reusable solutions for the core KBS UI/interaction; we provide a basic collection of such patterns in this work. (3) Suitable usability instruments for the assessment of the KBS artifacts. Therewith, we do not strive for ’yet another’ self-contained KBS engineering methodology. Rather, we motivate to extend existing approaches by the proposed key components. We demonstrate this based on an agile KBSE model.
For practical support, we introduce the tailored KBSE tool ProKEt. ProKEt offers a basic selection of KBS core UI patterns and corresponding configuration options out of the box; their further adaption/extension is possible on various levels of expertise. For practical usability support, ProKEt offers facilities for quantitative and qualitative data collection. ProKEt explicitly fosters the suggested, intertwined development of UI and KB. For seamlessly integrating KA activities, it provides extension points for two selected external KA tools: For KnowOF, a standard office based KA environment. And for KnowWE, a semantic wiki for collaborative KA. Therewith, ProKEt offers powerful support for encompassing, user-centered KBSE.
Finally, based on the approach and the tool, we also developed a novel KBS type: Clarification KBS as a mashup of consultation and justification KBS modules. Those denote a specifically suitable realization for participative KBS in highly expertise contexts and consequently require a specific design. In this thesis, apart from more common UI solutions, we particularly also introduce KBS UI patterns especially tailored towards Clarification KBS.
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.
