A novel approach to produce 2D designs by adapting the HyperNEAT algorithm to evolve non-uniform rational basis splines (NURBS) is presented. This representation is proposed as an alternative to previous pixel-based approaches primarily motivated by aesthetic interests, and not designed for optimization tasks. This spline representation outperforms previous pixel-based approaches on target matching tasks, performing well even in matching irregular target shapes. In addition to improved evolvability in the face of a well defined fitness metric, a NURBS representation has the added virtues of being continuous rather than discrete, as well as being intuitive and easily modified by graphic and industrial designers.
[Context and motivation] Communication in distributed software development is usually supported by issue tracking systems. Within these systems, most of the communication is stored as unstructured natural language text. The natural language text, however, contains much information with respect to requirements management, e.g. discussion, clarification and prioritization of features, bugs, and refactorings. [Question] This paper investigates the information stored in the issue tracking systems of four different open-source projects. It categorizes the text and reports on the distribution of issue types and information types. [Principal ideas/results] A manual analysis of 80 issues, using a grounded approach, is conducted to derive a taxonomy of issue types and information types. Subsequently, the taxonomy is used as a codebook, to manually categorize and structure the text in another 120 issues. [Contribution] The first contribution of this paper is the taxonomy of issue and information types and the second contribution is an in-depth analysis of the natural language data and the communication. This analysis showed, for example, that information with respect to prioritization and scheduling can be found in natural language data, whether the ITS supports such tasks in a structured way or not.
An Empirical Evaluation of the Received Signal Strength Indicator for fixed outdoor 802.11 links
(2015)
For the evaluation of the received signal strength indication (RSSI) a different methodology compared to previous publications is introduced in this paper by exploiting a spectral scan feature of recent Qualcomm Atheros WiFi NICs. This method is compared to driver reports and to an industrial grade spectrum analyzer. During the conducted outdoor experiments a decreased scattering of the RSSI compared to previous publications is observed. By applying well-known mathematical tests for normality it is possible to show that the RSSI does not follow a normal distribution in a line-of-sight outdoor environment. The evaluated spectral scan features offers additional possibilities to develop interference classifiers which is an important step for frequency allocation in long-distance 802.11 networks.
This paper proposes a new artificial neural network-based maximum power point tracker for photovoltaic application. This tracker significantly improves efficiency of the photovoltaic system with series-connection of photovoltaic modules in non-uniform irradiance on photovoltaic array surfaces. The artificial neural network uses irradiance and temperature sensors to generate the maximum power point reference voltage and employ a classical perturb and observe searching algorithm. The structure of the artificial neural network was obtained by numerical modelling using Matlab/Simulink. The artificial neural network was trained using Bayesian regularisation back-propagation algorithms and demonstrated a good prediction of the maximum power point. Relative number of Vmpp prediction errors in range of ±0.2V is 0.05% based on validation data.
The paper presents a new control strategy of management of transport companies operating in completive transport environment. It is aimed to optimise the headway of transport companies to provide the balance between costs and benefits of operation under competition. The model of transport system build using AnyLogic comprises agent-based and discrete-event techniques. The model combined two transport companies was investigated under condition of the competition between them. It was demonstrated that the control strategy can ensure the balance of interests of transport companies trying to find compromise between cost of operation and quality of service.
Ein wichtiges Ziel der medizinischen Rehabilitation der Rentenversicherung war schon immer die berufliche (Wieder-)Eingliederung der Rehabilitanden. Daher ist die Ermittlung des Erwerbsstatus ein zentrales Element für die Bewertung des Rehabilitationsergebnisses. Für die konkrete Umsetzung bestehen jedoch mehrere Möglichkeiten: Betrachtung von Einkommen, Beschäftigungsdauer oder -art, Stichtags- oder Zeitraumbetrachtung, kurz-, mittel- oder langfristige Erhebung, Befragung der Rehabilitanden oder Nutzung von Daten der Sozialversicherung etc. In diesem Beitrag werden mögliche Herangehensweisen am Beispiel der „Reha-QM-Outcome-Studie“ des „Qualitätsverbundes Gesundheit“ und der Deutschen Rentenversicherung Baden-Württemberg (Kaluscha et al., 2014) beleuchtet.
Internes Qualitätsmanagement (QM) wurde spätestens 2007 mit dem Gesetz zur Stärkung des Wettbewerbs in der gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung zu einem wesentlichen Bestandteil der stationären medizinischen Rehabilitation (Petri, Stähler, 2008). Seit dem Auslaufen der Übergangsfrist am 01.10.2012 verfügen alle durch einen gesetzlichen Rehabilitationsträger belegten stationären Einrichtungen über ein, den Anforderungen der Bundesarbeitsgemeinschaft für Rehabilitation entsprechendes, zertifiziertes QM-System.
Die Rückkehr ins Erwerbsleben (Return to Work, RTW) wird für onkologische Rehabilitanden zunehmend zum zentralen Behandlungsziel, wodurch auch die Bereitstellung spezifischer berufsorientierter Maßnahmen an Bedeutung gewinnt (z. B. Mehnert, Koch, 2012). Die Überprüfung der Behandlungsergebnisse solcher Maßnahmen stellt einen wichtigen Baustein des Qualitätsmanagements der Rehabilitationseinrichtungen dar. Im Rahmen der „Reha-QM-Outcome-Studie“ des Qualitätsverbundes Gesundheit und der Deutschen Rentenversicherung Baden-Württemberg (Nübling et al., 2014) wurde daher ein besonderes Augenmerk auf das Outcome und die RTW-Quote der onkologischen Patienten, auch im Vergleich zu anderen Hauptindikationen, gelegt.
A recent trend in interactive environments are large, ultra high resolution displays (LUHRDs). Compared to other large interactive installations, like the CAVE tm , LUHRDs are usually flat or (slightly) curved and have a significantly higher resolution, offering new research and application opportunities.
This tutorial provides information for researchers and engineers who plan to install and use a large ultra-high resolution display. We will give detailed information on the hardware and software of recently created and established installations and will show the variety of possible approaches. Also, we will talk about rendering software, rendering techniques and interaction for LUHRDs, as well as applications.
This paper proposes an Artificial Plasmodium Algorithm (APA) mimicked a contraction wave of a plasmodium of physarum polucephalum. Plasmodia can live using the contracion wave in their body to communicate to others and transport a nutriments. In the APA, each plasmodium has two information as the wave information: the direction and food index. We apply the APA to 4 types of mazes and confirm that the APA can solve the mazes.
