Die Zahl hoch qualifizierter Funktionen mit ständig wechselnden Anforderungsprofilen nimmt rapide zu. Flache und dynamische Organisationen führen zu dauernd wechselnden oder parallelen Rollen für Fach- und Führungskräfte im Unternehmen. Dies erfordert insbesondere für das Projektmanagement parallel unterschiedliche Anforderungsprofile von Fach- und Verhaltenskompetenzen.
Multi-Merger-Szenarien als Herausforderung für das IT-Controlling - Checklisten zur IT-Integration
(2006)
We present herein a new class of resin formulations for stereolithography, named FlexSL, with a broad bandwidth of tunable mechanical properties. The novel polyether(meth)acrylate based material class has outstanding material characteristics in combination with the advantages of being a biocompatible (meth)acrylate based processing material. FlexSL shows very promising results in several initial biocompatibility tests. This emphasizes its non-toxic behavior in a biomedical environment, caused mainly by the (meth)acrylate based core components. A short overview of mechanical and processing properties will be given in the end. The herein presented novel FlexSL materials show a significant lower cytotoxicity in contrast to commercial applied acrylic stereolithography resins. Further biocompatibility tests according to ISO 10993 protocols are planned. On the one hand, there are technical applications for this material (e.g. flaps, tubes, hoses, cables, sealing parts, connectors and other technical rubber-like applications), and on the other hand, broad fields of potential biomedical applications in which the FlexSL materials can be beneficial are obvious. Especially these could be small series production of medical products with special flexible material requirements. In addition, the usage for individual soft hearing aid shells, intra-operative planning services and tools like intra-op cutting templates and sawing guides is very attractive. The possibility to modify the FlexSL resins also for high-resolution applications makes it possible to manufacture now very flexible micro-prototypes with outstanding material characteristics and very fine structures with a minimum resolution of 20 mym and a layer thickness of minimal 5 myrn. These resin formulations are applicable and adjustable to other stereolithographic equipment available on the market.
Da in fast jedem Unternehmen die IT-Ausstattung (Anschaffung von PCs, Server etc., Servicekosten usw.) einen nicht unerbehblichen Kostenfaktor darstellt, kommt dem IT-Controlling eine immer bedeutendere Rolle zu, um den Einsatz aller IT-Komponenten effektiv zu steuern. Neben den wesentlichen Aspekten des IT-Controllings werden verschiedene Werkzeuge (operativ/strategisch) vorgestellt und die Rolle des CIO (Chief Information Officer) -dem Leiter des IT-Managements- im Vergleich zu anderen Aufgabengruppen innerhalb dieses Segments beleuchtet. Mithilfe von SLAs (Service Level Agreements) -Leistungsvereinbarungen für den Service- wird die terminliche Erbringung von Serviceleistungen in einer vereinbarten Qualität geregelt. Diese haben sich als Instrument zur Festlegung und Steuerung von Leistung und gegenleistung in der Praxis bewährt.
Die erfolgreiche Implementierung einer IT-Kosten- und Leistungsverrechnung ist eine Grundvoraussetzung für ein funktionierendes IT-Controlling-Konzept. In vielen Unternehmen sind allerdings noch Optimierungspotenziale auszumachen. Der Beitrag beschreibt Struktur und Nutzen einer IT-Kosten- und Leistungsverrechnung und zeigt anhand eines konkreten Fallbeispiels auf, wie die erfolgreiche Umsetzung bei der AGIS Allianz Dresdner in einem komplexen Umfeld erfolgt ist.
Most VE-frameworks try to support many different input and output devices. They do not concentrate so much on the rendering because this is tradi- tionally done by graphics workstation. In this short paper we present a modern VE framework that has a small kernel and is able to use different renderers. This includes sound renderers, physics renderers and software based graphics renderers. While our VE framework, named basho is still under development we have an alpha version running under Linux and MacOS X.
Die dargestellte Rating-Methodik auf der Basis der Vorgehensweise von S&P erscheint bei einer grundsätzlichen Untersuchung der Ausfallwahrscheinlichkeiten von Zahlungsverpflichtungen als sachgerecht. Allerdings bedürfen die aufgezeigten Analyseschritte einer deutlichen Adjustierung der Methodik, um die unterschiedlichen Effekte einer internen und einer externen Finanzierung so herauszuarbeiten, dass nicht bereits durch die angewandte Art der Analyse Verzerrungen in den Aussagen eintreten.
In verteilten und offenen Systemen wollen Kommunikationspartner beim Electronic Commerce Dokumente vertraulich, integer und rechtsverbindlich sowie zuordnungsbar authentisch und nachweisbar senden und empfangen. Für die an der Kommunikation beteiligten Kommunikationspartner muß dazu nachvollziehbar sein, wer wann mit wem welche Dokumente ausgetauscht hat. Zur Erreichung des Sachziels 'Vertraulichkeit' werden Dokumente bei der Speicherung auf einem Server und bei der Übertragung (über lokale Netzte, Intranets, Extranets und im Internet) vom Endanwender verschlüsselt. Dazu müssen die benutzten Schlüssel gegen unberechtigte Kenntnisnahme geschützt werden. Gleichzeitig muß auch die Verfügbarkeit der Schlüssel sichergestellt werden: Verschlüsselte Dokumente können nämlich nur dann wieder benutzbar gemacht werden, wenn sie bei berechtigtem Bedarf wieder entschlüsselt werden können. Im Unternehmen ist es deshalb erforderlich, Verfahren einzuführen, die die Verfügbarkeit gespeicherter Dokumente sicherstellen - auch wenn der originäre Inhaber dieser Dokumente nicht verfügbar ist (Reise, Urlaub, Krankheit, Ausscheiden). Schlüssel-Archive - sog. Enterprise Key Recovery Server - bieten die Möglichkeit, verschlüsselt gespeicherte Konzelationsschlüssel Berechtigten wieder zu Verfügung zu stellen. Damit können verschlüsselt gespeicherte Dokumente gespeichert werden. Enterprise Key Recovery Server werden im Rahmen des Projekts SECFORS - Secure Electronic Commerce an der Fachhochschule Rhein-Sieg zusammen mit Studierenden installiert und unter einer Reihe von Aspekten im Rahmen des vom Bundeswirtschaftsministerium geförderten Kompetenzzentrums Electronic Commerce Bonn Rhein-Sieg (KompEC) evaluiert; dazu werden Anforderungen an vertrauenswürdige Enterprise Key Recovery Server formuliert. Der Einsatz von Enterprise Key Recovery Servern ist in den USA Stand der Technik; in deutschen Unternehmen wird der Bedarf insbesondere deswegen differenziert gesehen, weil eine Verschlüsselung gespeicherter und übertragener Daten noch nicht flächendeckend durchgeführt wird.
MOTIVATION: The genome projects produce a wealth of protein sequences. Theoretical methods to predict possible structures and functions are needed for screening purposes, large-scale comparisons and in-depth analysis to identify worthwhile targets for further experimental research. Sequence-structure alignment is a basic tool for the identification of model folds for protein sequences and the construction of crude structural models. Empirical contact potentials (potentials of mean force) are used to optimize and evaluate such alignments. RESULTS: We propose new scoring schemes based on a contact definition derived from Voronoi decompositions of the three-dimensional coordinates of protein structures. We demonstrate that Voronoi potentials are superior to pure distance-based contact potentials with respect to recognition rate and significance for native folds. Moreover, the scoring scheme has the potential to provide a reasonable balance of detail and ion such that it is also useful for the recognition of distantly related (both homologous and non-homologous) proteins. This is demonstrated here on a set of structural alignments showing much better correspondence of native and model scores for the Voronoi potentials as compared to conventional distance-based potentials.
We propose a new alignment procedure that is capable of aligning protein sequences and structures in a unified manner. Recursive dynamic programming (RDP) is a hierarchical method which, on each level of the hierarchy, identifies locally optimal solutions and assembles them into partial alignments of sequences and/or structures. In contrast to classical dynamic programming, RDP can also handle alignment problems that use objective functions not obeying the principle of prefix optimality, e.g.\ scoring schemes derived from energy potentials of mean force. For such alignment problems, RDP aims at computing solutions that are near-optimal with respect to the involved cost function and biologically meaningful at the same time. Towards this goal, RDP maintains a dynamic balance between different factors governing alignment fitness such as evolutionary relationships and structural preferences. As in the RDP method gaps are not scored explicitly, the problematic assignment of gap cost parameters is circumvented. In order to evaluate the RDP approach we analyse whether known and accepted multiple alignments based on structural information can be reproduced with the RDP method. For this purpose, we consider the family of ferredoxins as our prime example. Our experiments show that, if properly tuned, the RDP method can outperform methods based on classical sequence alignment algorithms as well as methods that take purely structural information into account.
As competition for tourists becomes more global, understanding and accommodating the needs of international tourists, with their different cultural backgrounds, has become increasingly important. This study highlights the variations in tourist industry service--particularly as they relate to different cultures. Specifically, service failures experienced by Japanese and German tourists in the U.S. were categorized using the Critical Incident Technique (CIT). The results were compared with earlier studies of service failures experienced by American consumers in the tourist industry. The sample consists of 128 Japanese and 94 “Germanic” (German, Austrian, Swiss-German) respondents. The Japanese and German sample rated “Inappropriate employee behavior” most significant category of service failure. More than half of these respondents said that, because of the failure, they would avoid the offending U.S. business. This is a much stronger response than an American sample had reported in an earlier study. The implications for managers and researchers are discussed.
The study of locomotion in virtual environments is a diverse and rewarding research area. Yet, creating effective and intuitive locomotion techniques is challenging, especially when users cannot move around freely. While using handheld input devices for navigation may often be good enough, it does not match our natural experience of motion in the real world. Frequently, there are strong arguments for supporting body-centered self-motion cues as they may improve orientation and spatial judgments, and reduce motion sickness. Yet, how these cues can be introduced while the user is not moving around physically is not well understood. Actuated solutions such as motion platforms can be an option, but they are expensive and difficult to maintain. Alternatively, within this article we focus on the effect of upper-body tilt while users are seated, as previous work has indicated positive effects on self-motion perception. We report on two studies that investigated the effects of static and dynamic upper body leaning on perceived distances traveled and self-motion perception (vection). Static leaning (i.e., keeping a constant forward torso inclination) had a positive effect on self-motion, while dynamic torso leaning showed mixed results. We discuss these results and identify further steps necessary to design improved embodied locomotion control techniques that do not require actuated motion platforms.
The device (10) has a handrail (18) provided with an optical contactless monitoring device formed as an active sensor system, where the monitoring device is arranged in a region of a guide (14) of the handrail at a front base (16) of an escalator (12) or a moving pavement. The monitoring device has two transmission paths (28, 30) with wavelength bands that are different from each other, where one of the paths includes the handrail. Ratio or difference between signals of the paths is used for recognizing foreign bodies e.g. hands of adults and children.

Since being introduced in the sixties and seventies, semi-implicit RosenbrockWanner (ROW) methods have become an important tool for the timeintegration of ODE and DAE problems. Over the years, these methods have been further developed in order to save computational effort by regarding approximations with respect to the given Jacobian [5], reduce effects of order reduction by introducing additional conditions [2, 4] or use advantages of partial explicit integration by considering underlying Runge-Kutta formulations [1]. As a consequence, there is a large number of different ROW-type schemes with characteristic properties for solving various problem formulations given in literature today.

Der Nutzen von Prozessmanagement für die Effizienz und Effektivität der Organisation von Unternehmen ist vielfach bestätigt. Eine Studie der gfo-Gesellschaft für Organisation stellt fest, dass der Umsetzungsgrad der Prozessorganisation in Unternehmen dennoch mangelhaft ist. Es fehlt die Unterstützung der Leitung, die selbst noch überwiegend funktional organisiert ist.
We propose a high-performance GPU implementation of Ray Histogram Fusion (RHF), a denoising method for stochastic global illumination rendering. Based on the CPU implementation of the original algorithm, we present a naive GPU implementation and the necessary optimization steps. Eventually, we show that our optimizations increase the performance of RHF by two orders of magnitude when compared to the original CPU implementation and one order of magnitude compared to the naive GPU implementation. We show how the quality for identical rendering times relates to unfiltered path tracing and how much time is needed to achieve identical quality when compared to an unfiltered path traced result. Finally, we summarize our work and describe possible future applications and research based on this.
Rendering techniques for design evaluation and review or for visualizing large volume data often use computationally expensive ray-based methods. Due to the number of pixels and the amount of data, these methods often do not achieve interactive frame rates. A view direction based rendering technique renders the users central field of view in high quality whereas the surrounding is rendered with a level of detail approach depending on the distance to the users central field of view thus giving the opportunity to increase rendering efficiency. We propose a prototype implementation and evaluation of a focus-based rendering technique based on a hybrid ray tracing/sparse voxel octree rendering approach.
This presentation gives an overview of current research in the area of high quality rendering and visualization at the Institute of Visual Computing (IVC). Our research facility has some unique software and hardware installations of which we will describe a large, ultra- high resolution (72 megapixel) video wall in this presentation.
We present a system that combines voxel and polygonal representations into a single octree acceleration structure that can be used for ray tracing. Voxels are well-suited to create good level-of-detail for high-frequency models where polygonal simplifications usually fail due to the complex structure of the model. However, polygonal descriptions provide the higher visual fidelity. In addition, voxel representations often oversample the geometric domain especially for large triangles, whereas a few polygons can be tested for intersection more quickly.
