Extremal Fixpoints for Higher-Order Modal Logic
(2018-10)
In this dissertation, we investigate the interplay between extremal fixpoints and higher-order constructs. The main Focus here is Higher-Order Modal Fixpoint Logic (HFL), an extension of the modal mu-calculus by a simply typed lambda calculus. The resulting logic is very expressive, yet the interplay of its components has not been systematically investigated so far. Goal of this thesis is to characterize the interplay of the components of HFL.
A first characterization is given by converting the denotational semantics ...

Planning of Autonomous and Mobile Robots in Dynamic Environments
(2018-11)
The capabilities of autonomous robots are increasing which is a reason for research progress
in the last years. An increasing number of robotic scenarios are becoming more viable in
various domains for example, mowing, harvesting, warehouse robots. But autonomous
mobile robots need more than the ability to navigate through their world, and manipulate
objects. Even in teams of robots, a structured plan for each team member is necessary.
Planning becomes a more important task. Furthermore, the environment can ...

Development of an ArcGIS extension to model urban climate factors
(2015-03-20)
The possibility to develop automatically running models which can capture some of the most important factors driving the urban climate would be very useful for many planning aspects. With the help of these modulated climate data, the creation of the typically used “Urban Climate Maps” (UCM) will be accelerated and facilitated. This work describes the development of a special ArcGIS software extension, along with two support databases to achieve this functionality. At the present time, lacking comparability between ...

Eine SPARQL-Schnittstelle für OData-Services
(2014-11-25)
Enterprise-Resource-Planning-Systeme (ERP-Systeme) bilden für die meisten mittleren und großen Unternehmen einen essentiellen Bestandteil ihrer IT-Landschaft zur Verwaltung von Geschäftsdaten und Geschäftsprozessen. Geschäftsdaten werden in ERP-Systemen in Form von Geschäftsobjekten abgebildet. Ein Geschäftsobjekt kann mehrere Attribute enthalten und über Assoziationen zu anderen Geschäftsobjekten einen Geschäftsobjektgraphen aufspannen. Existierende Schnittstellen ermöglichen die Abfrage von Geschäftsobjekten, ...

Dynamische Konfiguration verteilter Informationsverarbeitung in Gruppen heterogener Agenten
(2018-03-22)
Das erfolgreiche Agieren von Multiagentensystemen (MAS) setzt eine umfangreiche und hochwertige Wissensbasis voraus. Die Wissensbasis umfasst die von einem Agenten benötigten Informationen, welche durch die Verarbeitung von Sensorinformationen erzeugt werden. Die Anpassung der Informationsverarbeitung an die Einsatzdomäne ermöglicht es, die Qualität der Wissensbasis zu gewährleisten und so die Leistung des MAS zu steigern. Aktuelle Middleware-Systeme unterstützen die Integration von gängigen Methoden und Verfahren ...

Self-Healing in Autonomous Robot Teams
(2017-05-24)
Today, robots are used in nearly every type of automated manufacturing and assembly process. Robot installations typically apply static actuator systems in clearly structured environments. These systems show impressive abilities in speed and accuracy for repetitive manipulation tasks. Future automation applications, however, require an increasing level of flexibility, where classical systems reach their physical limits. As a reaction, robots become mobile, intelligent and cooperative. These new characteristics, ...
Dissertation
Context as a Service
(2013-03-22)
In the vision of Mark Weiser on ubiquitous computing, computers are disappearing from the focus of the users and are seamlessly interacting with other computers and users in order to provide information and services. This shift of computers away from direct computer interaction requires another way of applications to interact without bothering the user. Context is the information which can be used to characterize the situation of persons, locations, or other objects relevant for the applications.
Context-aware ...

Information Exchange and Fusion in Dynamic and Heterogeneous Distributed Environments
(2010-12-10)
Context awareness, dynamic reconfiguration at runtime and heterogeneity are key characteristics of future distributed systems, particularly in ubiquitous and mobile computing scenarios. The main contributions of this dissertation are theoretical as well as architectural concepts facilitating information exchange and fusion in heterogeneous and dynamic distributed environments. Our main focus is on bridging the heterogeneity issues and, at the same time, considering uncertain, imprecise and unreliable sensor information ...

Decision Making for Teams of Mobile Robots
(2016-11-02)
In the past years, we could observe a significant amount of new robotic systems in science, industry, and everyday life. To reduce the complexity of these systems, the industry constructs robots that are designated for the execution of a specific task such as vacuum cleaning, autonomous driving, observation, or transportation operations. As a result, such robotic systems need to combine their capabilities to accomplish complex tasks that exceed the abilities of individual robots. However, to achieve emergent cooperative ...

Managing Quality Properties of Web Service Compositions
(2015-04-28)
Web services from different partners can be combined to applications that realize a more complex business goal. Such applications built as Web service compositions define how interactions between Web services take place in order to implement the business logic. Web service compositions not only have to provide the desired functionality but also have to comply with certain Quality of Service (QoS) levels. Maximizing the users' satisfaction, also reflected as Quality of Experience (QoE), is a primary goal to be achieved ...
