Model-driven development of sensor network applications with optimization of non-functional constraints
(2016-06-23)
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) differ from conventional distributed systems in many aspects. The resource limitation of sensor nodes, the ad-hoc communication and topology of the network, coupled with an unpredictable deployment environment are difficult non-functional constraints that must be carefully taken into account when developing software systems for a WSN. Thus, more research needs to be done on designing, implementing and maintaining software for WSNs. This thesis aims to contribute to research being done ...

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 ...

Relations and Transductions Realized by Restarting Automata
(2013-10-09)
Gegenstand der vorliegenden Arbeit ist die Analyse verschiedener Formalismen zur Berechnung binärer Wortrelationen. Dabei ist die Grundlage aller hier ausgeführten Betrachtungen das Modell der Restart-Automaten, welches 1995 von Jancar et. al. eingeführt wurde. Zum einen wird das bereits für Restart-Automaten bekannte Konzept der input/output- und proper-Relationen weiterführend untersucht, sowie auf Systeme von zwei parallel arbeitenden und miteinander kommunizierenden Restart-Automaten (PC-Systeme) erweitert. Zum ...

Ordered Restarting Automata
(epubli, 2018-07-10)
In der folgenden Arbeit geht es um geordnete Restartautomaten. Restartautomaten sind ein theoretisches Modell, das in der Linguistik bei der Analyse durch Reduktion Verwendung findet. Die geordneten Restartautomaten wurden im Zusammenhang von zweidimensionalen Bildsprachen eingeführt und bilden das zugrundeliegende eindimensionale Modell.
Von diesem eindimensionalen Modell betrachten wir verschiedene Varianten und untersuchen und vergleichen hauptsächlich Sprachklassen und Beschreibungskomplexität. Eine Gemeinsamkeit ...

Systems of Parallel Communicating Restarting Automata
(2013-07-31)
In der vorliegenden Dissertation werden Systeme von parallel arbeitenden und miteinander kommunizierenden Restart-Automaten (engl.: systems of parallel communicating restarting automata; abgekürzt PCRA-Systeme) vorgestellt und untersucht. Dabei werden zwei bekannte Konzepte aus den Bereichen Formale Sprachen und Automatentheorie miteinander vescrknüpft: das Modell der Restart-Automaten und die sogenannten PC-Systeme (systems of parallel communicating components).
Ein PCRA-System besteht aus endlich vielen ...

Instant Storyboarding
(2015-11-09)
This thesis aims at empowering software customers with a tool to build software tests them selves, based on a gradual refinement of natural language scenarios into executable visual test models. The process is divided in five steps:
1. First, a natural language parser is used to extract a graph of grammatical relations from the textual scenario descriptions.
2. The resulting graph is transformed into an informal story pattern by interpreting structurization rules based on Fujaba Story Diagrams.
3. While the ...

A Modeling Analysis of Changing Global Land Use as affected by Changing Demands for Wood Products
(2010-01-08)
The 21st century has brought new challenges for forest management at a time when globalization in world trade is increasing and global climate change is becoming increasingly apparent. In addition to various goods and services like food, feed, timber or biofuels being provided to humans, forest ecosystems are a large store of terrestrial carbon and account for a major part of the carbon exchange between the atmosphere and the land surface. Depending on the stage of the ecosystems and/or management regimes, forests ...
