Trustworthiness is a key success factor in the acceptance and adoption of cyber-physical systems. The author first discusses various existing definitions of trust and trustworthiness and extends them to cyber-physical systems. A comprehensive framework is proposed, including methods that cover all phases of development: requirements engineering, system design, trustworthiness evaluation, run-time maintenance, and evidence-based assurance. To support a smooth integration of the methods into development projects, these methods are provided in the form of so-called capability patterns. A running example from the ambient assisted living domain is used to demonstrate the application of the methods. About the Author: Nazila Gol Mohammadi is currently working as an associate researcher at paluno – The Ruhr Institute for Software Technology in Essen, Germany. Her research interests include software engineering, requirements engineering, digitalization, cloud computing, cyber-physical systems, and trustworthiness of software systems.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the three workshops that were organized in conjunction with the International Conference on Business Information Systems, BIS 2011, which took place in Poznań, Poland, June 15-17, 2011. The 18 workshop papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 38 submissions. The topics covered are applications and economics of knowledge-based technologies (AKTB), business and IT alignment (BITA), and legal information systems (LIT). In addition, eight papers from the co-located Business Process and Services Computing Conference (BPSC) are also included in this volume.
Standard characterization methods of biological cells are time consuming and may reduce cell viability by staining them with markers. An alternative fast and non-destructive method is developed using impedance spectroscopy, which has potential applications in biology. The technique is used to identify tumor cells in mice, detect bacterial eye infections, monitor fruit ripening, and measure sweat lactate concentration in humans by using a skin sensor. These applications often require a portable measurement system. Therefore, three portable systems were designed and tested. It has been shown that the method can be further improved by four-terminal measurements. For extension of the method in the millimeter-wave frequencies, full electromagnetic simulation of the chip has been carried out, and electrodes and interconnections have been adjusted accordingly.
The authors reflect the preoccupation of academia with the latest trends in e-content and communication technologies, such as going mobile or discovering new, innovative interfaces. In addition, they introduce new learning methods with interactive media.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Entertainment Computing, ICEC 2006. The 17 revised full papers, 17 revised short papers and 28 poster papers presented together with one keynote paper were carefully reviewed and selected. The papers are organized in topical sections on agents, cultural and psychological metrics, transforming broadcast experience, culture, place, play, display technology, authoring tools, object tracking, edutainment, and network games.

Essay aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich VWL - Internationale Wirtschaftsbeziehungen, Note: 1,3, Freie Universität Berlin, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Im Zuge des wirtschaftlichen Integrationsprozesses in Europa beinhaltet die wissenschaftliche Betrachtung der einzelnen Teilregionen unter anderem die Fragestellung, in wie fern tendenziell eine Konvergenz oder eher Divergenz des Einkommensniveaus zu beobachten ist. +++ Um die Fragestellung möglichst präzise zu evaluieren ist es zunächst notwendig, die relevanten Begriffe zu definieren und einen kurzen Abriss über den Themenhintergrund zu geben. Danach werden, aufbauend auf Krugman (1998), die wichtigsten Argumente in einer kritischen Disku...
To tackle the challenges of the road estimation task, many works employ a fusion of multiple sources. By that, a commonly made assumption is that the sources always are equally reliable. However, this assumption is inappropriate since each source has certain advantages and drawbacks depending on the operational scenarios. Therefore, Tuan Tran Nguyen proposes a novel concept by incorporating reliabilities into the multi-source fusion so that the road estimation task can alternately select only the most reliable sources. Thereby, the author estimates the reliability for each source online using classifiers trained with the sensor measurements, the past performance and the context. Using real d...
This lecture introduces fundamental principles of online multiplayer games, primarily massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs), suitable for students and faculty interested both in designing games and in doing research on them. The general focus is human-centered computing, which includes many human-computer interaction issues and emphasizes social computing, but also, looks at how the design of socio-economic interactions extends our traditional notions of computer programming to cover human beings as well as machines. In addition, it demonstrates a range of social science research methodologies, both quantitative and qualitative, that could be used by students for term pap...
Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2004 im Fachbereich Informatik - Angewandte Informatik, Note: 1,0, Freie Universität Berlin, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Diplomarbeit dokumentiert ausführlich die Entstehung eines multimedialen Chatprogramms, welches audiovisuelle und Textdaten in einer 1-zu-1 Sitzung zwischen zwei Gesprächspartnern ohne zusätzlich laufenden Server übermittelt. Es bietet die Möglichkeit eine Roboterplattform, wie z.B. den ER1 von Evolution Robotics an eine oder beide Seiten anzuschließen und somit zusätzliche Anwendungsoptionen zu erhalten. Das vollständig auf Java basierende Programm bietet eine vordefinierte OSGI Schnittstelle, so dass diese Roboteranwendung als bei...
