Dynamic Injection of Scribble Features into Graphical Diagram Editors
(2015-05-20)
Almost everyone sketches. People use sketches day in and day out in many different and heterogeneous fields, to share their thoughts and clarify ambiguous interpretations, for example. The media used to sketch varies from analog tools like flipcharts to digital tools like smartboards. Whereas analog tools are usually affected by insufficient editing capabilities like cut/copy/paste, digital tools greatly support these scenarios. Digital tools can be grouped into informal and formal tools. Informal tools can be ...

A probabilistic approach to the estimation of regional photovoltaic power generation using meteorological data
(2016-09-05)
In Germany the upscaling algorithm is currently the standard approach for evaluating the PV power produced in a region. This method involves spatially interpolating the normalized power of a set of reference PV plants to estimate the power production by another set of unknown plants. As little information on the performances of this method could be found in the literature, the first goal of this thesis is to conduct an analysis of the uncertainty associated to this method. It was found that this method can lead to ...

Hybrid Power System Modelling - Simulation and Energy Management Unit Development
(2009-09-22)
Weltweit leben mehr als 2 Milliarden Menschen in ländlichen Gebieten. Als Konzept für die elektrische Energieversorgung solcher Gebiete kommen dezentrale elektrische Energieversorgungseinheiten zum Einsatz, die lokal verfügbare erneuerbare Ressourcen nutzen. Stand der Technik bilden Einheiten, die auf PV-Diesel-Batterie System basieren.
Die verwendeten Versorgungsskonzepte in Hybridsystemen sind durch den Einsatz von Batterien als Energiespeicher meist wenig zuverlässig und teuer. Diese Energiespeicher sind sehr ...

A Language Ecosystem for Modeling Microservice Architecture
(2022)
The ongoing digital transformation of our economy and society poses significant challenges towards modern software systems. Application areas like Smart Cities and Industry 4.0 set high requirements on software quality attributes like scalability and reliability. At the same time, IT companies face an ever-growing demand in flexibility and continuous improvements of delivery cycles. Microservice Architecture (MSA) is a novel approach to the realization of software architectures that aims to foster their scalability, ...

Towards Effective Natural Language Application Development
(2019)
There is a current trend that more and more computer programs analyze written or spoken natural language. For example, DVAs, IE systems, machine translation systems, and many other types of programs process natural language in order to solve specific use cases when interacting with humans via natural language. Amazon, Google, and Mycroft AI are just some of the companies that have produced DVAs capable of interacting with humans via voice. Such NLP applications use techniques from computer science and artificial ...

A User-Centric Perspective on Parallel Programming with Focus on OpenMP
(2008-01-16)
The process of developing software that takes advantage of multiple processors is commonly referred to as parallel programming. For various reasons, this process is much harder than the sequential case. For decades, parallel programming has been a problem for a small niche only: engineers working on parallelizing mostly numerical applications in High Performance Computing. This has changed with the advent of multi-core processors in mainstream computer architectures. Parallel programming in our days becomes a problem ...

Low-Cost Micromechanically Tunable Optical Devices: Strained Resonator Engineering, Technological Implementation and Characterization
(2006-02-22)
The rapid growth of the optical communication branches and the enormous demand for more bandwidth require novel networks such as dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM). These networks enable higher bitrate transmission using the existing optical fibers.
Micromechanically tunable optical microcavity devices like VCSELs, Fabry-Pérot filters and photodetectors are core components of these novel DWDM systems. Several air-gap based tunable devices were successfully implemented in the last years. Even though these ...

Evolving Distributed Algorithms with Genetic Programming
(2009-05-11)
Distributed systems are one of the most vital components of the economy. The most prominent example is probably the internet, a constituent element of our knowledge society. During the recent years, the number of novel network types has steadily increased. Amongst others, sensor networks, distributed systems composed of tiny computational devices with scarce resources, have emerged. The further development and heterogeneous connection of such systems imposes new requirements on the software development process. Mobile ...

Framework for middleware executed on mobile devices
(2007-10-09)
Die ubiquitäre Datenverarbeitung ist ein attraktives Forschungsgebiet des vergangenen und aktuellen Jahrzehnts. Es handelt von unaufdringlicher Unterstützung von Menschen in ihren alltäglichen Aufgaben durch Rechner. Diese Unterstützung wird durch die Allgegenwärtigkeit von Rechnern ermöglicht die sich spontan zu verteilten Kommunikationsnetzwerken zusammen finden, um Informationen auszutauschen und zu verarbeiten. Umgebende Intelligenz ist eine Anwendung der ubiquitären Datenverarbeitung und eine strategische ...

Zweiachsige Hybriderregung von Synchronmaschinen
(2017-04-25)
Neue Anwendungsfelder von geregelten elektrischen Antrieben, wie beispielsweise die Windenergie und die Elektromobilität, führen zu einer stetig steigenden Nachfrage nach wartungsfreien Systemen mit langen Betriebszeiten. Der Preisverfall der Leistungselektronik bei immer höheren Wirkungsgraden ermöglicht durch geeignete Topologien und entsprechende Regelung deutliche Energieeinsparung beim Betrieb elektrischer Antriebe.
In der Elektromobilität stellen im Besonderen gegensinnige Anforderungen, wie hohe Effizienz bei ...
