Web-based Editor for YAWL
(2013)
This paper presents a web-based editor that offers YAWL editing capabilities and comprehensive support for the XML format of YAWL. The open-source project Signavio Core Components is extended with a graphical user interface (GUI) for parts of the YAWL Language, and an import-/export component that converts between YAWL and the internal format of Signavio Core Components. This conversion, between the web-based editor and the offcial YAWL Editor, is lossless so both tools may be used together. Compared to the offcial YAWL Editor, the web-based editor is missing some features, but could still facilitate the usage of the YAWL system in use cases that are not supported by a desktop application.
Computers will soon be powerful enough to simulate consciousness. The artificial life community should start to try to understand how consciousness could be simulated. The proposal is to build an artificial life system in which consciousness might be able to evolve. The idea is to develop internet-wide artificial universe in which the agents can evolve. Users play games by defining agents that form communities. The communities have to perform tasks, or compete, or whatever the specific game demands. The demands should be such that agents that are more aware of their universe are more likely to succeed. The agents reproduce and evolve within their user’s machine, but can also sometimes transfer to other machine across the internet. Users will be able to choose the capabilities of their agents from a fixed list, but may also write their own powers for their agents.

Als Basis für Simulationen innerhalb virtueller Umgebungen werden meist unterliegende Semantiken benötigt. Im Fall von Verkehrssimulationen werden in der Regel definierte Verkehrsnetzwerke genutzt. Die Erstellung dieser Netzwerke wird meist per Hand durchgeführt, wodurch sie fehleranfällig ist und viel Zeit erfordert. Dieses Projekt wurde im Rahmen des AVeSi Projektes durchgeführt, in dem an der Entwicklung einer realistischen Verkehrssimulation für virtuelle Umgebung geforscht wird. Der im Projekt angestrebte Simulationsansatz basiert auf der Nutzung von zwei Komplexitätsebenen – einer mikroskopischen und einer mesoskopischen. Um einen Übergang zwischen den Simulationsebenen zu realisieren ist eine Verknüpfung der Verkehrsnetzwerke notwendig, was ebenfalls mit einem hohen Zeitaufwand verbunden ist. In diesem Bericht werden Modelle für Verkehrsnetzwerke beider Ebenen vorgestellt. Anschließend wird ein Ansatz beschrieben, der eine automatische Generierung und Verknüpfung von Verkehrsnetzwerken beider Modelle ermöglicht. Als Grundlage für die Generierung der Netzwerke dienen Daten im OpenDRIVE®-Format. Zur Evaluierung wurden wirklichkeitsgetreue OpenStreetMap-Daten, durch Verwendung einer Drittanbietersoftware, in OpenDRIVE®-Datensätze überführt. Es konnte nachgewiesen werden, dass es durch den Ansatz möglich ist, innerhalb weniger Minuten, große Verkehrsnetzwerke zu erzeugen, auf denen unmittelbar Simulationen ausgeführt werden können. Die Qualität der zur Evaluierung generierten Netzwerke reicht jedoch für Umgebungen, in denen ein hoher Realitätsgrad gefordert wird, nicht aus, was einen zusätzlichen Bearbeitungsschritt notwendig macht. Die Qualitätsprobleme konnten darauf zurückgeführt werden, dass der Detailgrad, der den Evaluierungsdaten zu Grunde liegenden OpenStreetMap-Daten, nicht hoch genug und der Überführungsprozess nicht ausreichend transparent ist.

The BRICS component model: a model-based development paradigm for complex robotics software systems
(2013)
Realism and plausibility of computer controlled entities in entertainment software have been enhanced by adding both static personalities and dynamic emotions. Here a generic model is introduced which allows the transfer of findings from real-life personality studies to a computational model. This information is used for decision making. The introduction of dynamic event-based emotions enables adaptive behavior patterns. The advantages of this new model have been validated with a four-way crossroad in a traffic simulation. Driving agents using the introduced model enhanced by dynamics were compared to agents based on static personality profiles and simple rule-based behavior. It has been shown that adding an adaptive dynamic factor to agents improves perceivable plausibility and realism. It also supports coping with extreme situations in a fair and understandable way.
Updating a shared data structure in a parallel program is usually done with some sort of high-level synchronization operation to ensure correctness and consistency. However, underlying synchronization instructions in a processor architecture are costly and rather limited in their scalability on larger multi-core/multi-processors systems. In this paper, we examine work queue operations where such costly atomic update operations are replaced with non-atomic modifiers (simple read+write). In this approach, we trade the exact amount of work with atomic operations against doing more and redundant work but without atomic operations and without violating the correctness of the algorithm. We show results for the application of this idea to the concrete scenario of parallel Breadth First Search (BFS) algorithms for undirected graphs on two large NUMA shared memory system with up to 64 cores.
Information reliability and automatic computation are two important aspects that are continuously pushing the Web to be more semantic. Information uploaded to the Web should be reusable and extractable automatically to other applications, platforms, etc. Several tools exist to explicitly markup Web content. The Web services may also have a positive role on the automatic processing of Web contents, especially when they act as flexible and agile agents. However, Web services themselves should be developed with semantics in mind. They should include and provide structured information to facilitate their use, reuse, composition, query, etc. In this chapter, the authors focus on evaluating state-of-the-art semantic aspects and approaches in Web services. Ultimately, this contributes to the goal of Web knowledge management, execution, and transfer.
The reciprocal translocation t(12;21)(p13;q22), the most common structural genomic alteration in B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in children, results in a chimeric transcription factor TEL-AML1 (ETV6-RUNX1). We identified directly and indirectly regulated target genes utilizing an inducible TEL-AML1 system derived from the murine pro B-cell line BA/F3 and a monoclonal antibody directed against TEL-AML1. By integration of promoter binding identified with chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-on-chip, gene expression and protein output through microarray technology and stable labelling of amino acids in cell culture, we identified 217 directly and 118 indirectly regulated targets of the TEL-AML1 fusion protein. Directly, but not indirectly, regulated promoters were enriched in AML1-binding sites. The majority of promoter regions were specific for the fusion protein and not bound by native AML1 or TEL. Comparison with gene expression profiles from TEL-AML1-positive patients identified 56 concordantly misregulated genes with negative effects on proliferation and cellular transport mechanisms and positive effects on cellular migration, and stress responses including immunological responses. In summary, this work for the first time gives a comprehensive insight into how TEL-AML1 expression may directly and indirectly contribute to alter cells to become prone for leukemic transformation.
