Die Arbeit beschreibt die Abhängigkeiten zwischen den Prozessen des Facility Management (FM) und den Primärprozessen im Krankenhaus in einem ganzheitlichen Modell. Die Kenntnis über die Leistungszusammenhänge der beiden Ebenen bildet die Grundlage für eine verursachergerechte Ve…
Faster developing cycles and economic developments created many emerging economies in the 20th century. For sustainable economic growth, however, the construction and constant preservation of a profound knowledge base and technological pool is crucial. Brazil, China, India and R…
In supplier management social and environmental aspects gain rising importance. The aim of this work is the development of a decision support system. For this purpose a two-stage approach is developed consisting of a risk model and a performance model. This approach enables deci…
This research introduces a conceptual framework for enforcing privacy-related restrictions in smart video surveillance systems based on danger levels and incident types to be handled. It increases the selectivity of surveillance by restricting data processing to individuals asso…
Powerline communications utilize the existing energy distribution network for information transmission. In this work, the low voltage grid is investigated as a transmission channel for frequencies up to 500 kHz. Based on characterizing the channel with regard to its cyclostation…
Modern headlights are able to project any desired symbol directly onto the street. Feasible applications are driver assistance, information or communication with other traffic participants. Besides all the possibilities the risk of distraction can't be neglected. The present wor…
In order to establish general principles in the topic of motion planning for fully-automated driving, an intuitive problem statement in the form of an Euler-Lagrange Model is derived and transformed into a corresponding Hidden Markov Model for global optimization. Geometric and …
Worldwide simultaneous effects of technologies, international challenges such as climate change as well as shifting relationships between science and society call for approaches that can address these issues on a global level. This book examines the potential of Technology Asses…
The emission of dibenzofurans and dioxins from industrial processes is a major environmental concern. Focussing on dibenzofuran, this study tend to improve our understanding of the general oxidation chemistry and to provide a mechanism suitable for future modelling studies.Based…
Ultrasound Tomography is an emerging technology for medical imaging that is quickly approaching its clinical utility. Research groups around the globe are engaged in research spanning from theory to practical applications. The International Workshop on Medical Ultrasound Tomogra…
Complex software systems are described with multiple artifacts, such as code, design diagrams and others. Ensuring their consistency is crucial and can be automated with transformations for pairs of artifacts. We investigate how developers can combine independently developed and…
Das ingenieurorientierte Fachgebiet der Gerinnehydraulik"" basiert auf den strömungsmechanischen Grundlagen der Hydromechanik, verwendet aber meist vereinfachende eindimensionale Strömungsansätze.Das vorliegende Lehrbuch ""Einführung in die Gerinnehydraulik"" ist für Studierende…
Wirbelstrom-Sensoren ermöglichen die Realisierung einer rein bordautonomen Ortung von Schienenfahrzeugen. Diese basiert dabei auf zwei diversitären Verfahren. Zum einen wird die Geschwindigkeit berührungslos gemessen, zum anderen lassen sich Weichen und Weichenbauteile detektier…
Die Softwareentwicklung benötigt ständig Domänenmodelle: beim Erheben der Anforderungen, beim Design, bei der Implementierung, beim Testen, bei der Dokumentation und bei der Wartung. Dennoch ist das Erstellen dieser Modelle immer noch ein kreativer Akt - mit allen Vor- und vor a…
In dieser Arbeit wird ein vollständig dezentrales Konzept zum Last- und Erzeugungsmanagement vorgestellt, mit dem sich Stromverbraucher und dezentrale Stromerzeugungsanlagen selbst organisieren können, um kurzfristig präzise Laständerungen durchzuführen. Dabei sollen nicht nur g…
