Nowadays, we input text not only on stationary devices, but also on handheld devices while walking, driving, or commuting. Text entry on the move, which we term as nomadic text entry, is generally slower. This is partially due to the need for users to move their visual focus from the device to their surroundings for navigational purposes and back. To investigate if better feedback about users' surroundings on the device can improve performance, we present a number of new and existing feedback systems: textual, visual, textual & visual, and textual & visual via translucent keyboard. Experimental comparisons between the conventional and these techniques established that increased ambient awareness for mobile users enhances nomadic text entry performance. Results showed that the textual and the textual & visual via translucent keyboard conditions increased text entry speed by 14% and 11%, respectively, and reduced the error rate by 13% compared to the regular technique. The two methods also significantly reduced the number of collisions with obstacles.

This paper addresses special skills, learners in Internet-based learning scenarios need. In self-directed learning scenarios, as most Internet-based learning scenarios are designed, learners bear the responsibility for their learning progress. To ease this task, institutions could prime the learners for the situation which may be quite different to their previous learning experiences. Basing on a Delphi-study, conducted with experts from the e-Learning sector in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, the basic requirements have been determined.
Despite perfect functioning of its internal components, a robot can be unsuccessful in performing its tasks because of unforeseen situations. These situations occur when the behavior of the objects in the robot’s environment deviates from its expected values. For robots, such deviations are exhibited in the form of unknown external faults which prohibit them from performing their tasks successfully. In this work we propose to use naive physics knowledge to reason about such faults in the robotics domain. We propose an approach that uses naive physics concepts to find information about the situations which result in a detected unknown fault. The naive physics knowledge is represented by the physical properties of objects which are formalized in a logical framework. The proposed approach applies a qualitative version of physical laws to these properties for reasoning about the detected fault. By interpreting the reasoning results the robot finds the information about the situations which can cause the fault. We apply the proposed approach to the scenarios in which a robot performs manipulation tasks of picking and placing objects. Results of this application show that naive physics holds great promise for reasoning about unknown ex- ternal faults in robotics.
The Web has become an indispensable prerequisite of everyday live and the Web browser is the most used application on a variety of distinct devices. The content delivered by the Web has changed drastically from static pages to media-rich and interactive Web applications offering nearly the same functionality as native applications, a trend which is further pushed by the Cloud and more specifically the Cloud’s SaaS layer. In the light of this development, security and performance of Web browsing has become a crucial issue.
The usage of link quality based routing metrics significantly improves the quality of the chosen paths and by that the performance of the network. But, attackers may try to exploit link qualities for their purposes. Especially in tactical multi-hop networks, routing may fall prey to an attacker. Such routing attacks are a serious threat to communication. TOGBAD is a centralised approach, using topology graphs to detect routing attacks. In this paper, we enhance TOGBAD with the capability to detect fake link qualities. We use a Challenge/Response method to estimate the link qualities in the network. Based on this, we perform plausibility checks for the link qualities propagated by the nodes in the network. Furthermore, we study the impact of attackers propagating fake link qualities and present simulation results showing TOGBAD's detection rate.
Die Anforderungen an die Tragfähigkeit von Seilrollen aus Guss-Polyamiden nehmen aufgrund der Erwartungen hinsichtlich der maximal zu realisierenden Hublasten bei neueren Förder- und Hebegeräte stetig zu. Die heutige Konstruktionspraxis erlaubt für normale Betriebsbedingungen eine gesicherte Auslegung der Seilrollen. Aus jahrelanger Erfahrung sind hierfür Grenzwerte für maximal zulässigen Belastungen im Betrieb unter verschiedensten Betriebsbedingungen gewonnen worden. Jedoch ist bei steigenden Lasten, besserer Ausnutzung des Werkstoffpotenzials oder Modifikationen des Basiswerkstoffs nur noch eine eingeschränkte Bestimmung der tatsächlichen "Worst-Case"-Tragfähigkeit mit dieser Konstruktionspraxis möglich. Berechnungsmodelle einer neuen Bemessungsgrundlage basieren auf der Anwendung der Finite Elemente Methode. Die ersten Berechnungsmodelle aus der modifizierten Bemessungsgrundlage ermöglichen den Einfluss von geometrischen Änderungen der Form bzw. der Ausführung, von lokalen Materialeigenschaften und von realistischere Lastzustände auf den Deformationsund Spannungszustand einer Seilrolle theoretisch zu beschreiben. Weitere Berechnungsmodelle, die z.B. die Erwärmung der Seilrolle durch die Rollreibung zwischen Seil und Seilrolle sowie des Walkens durch die Bewegung des Seiles bei dynamischer Belastung beschreiben können, sind in der Entwicklung. Für den Konstrukteur werden zudem parametrisierte Geometrie-, Last- und FE-Modelle entwickelt, die eine schnelle und betriebssichere Dimensionierung von Seilrollen aus Guss-Polyamiden ermöglichen. Alle theoretischen Ergebnisse werden z.Z. durch umfangreiche Versuche abgesichert.
