In contrast to earlier approaches, the inner and outer contours of the vocal cords are independently delineated. Automatic segmentation of the low contrasted images is carried out by connecting the shape constraint of a point distribution model to a multi-channel regionbased balloon model. This enables us to robustly compute a vibration profile that is used as a new diagnostic tool to visualize several vibration parameters in only one graphic. The vibration profiles are studied in two cases: one physiological vibration and one functional pathology.

Workshop Farbbildverarbeitung, Ilmenau, 1999 N2 - Zur Unterstützung der Diagnose von Stimmlippenerkrankungen werden innerhalb des Forschungsprojektes Quantitative Digitale Laryngoskopie objektive Parameter zur Beschreibung der Bewegung, der Farbe sowie der Form der Stimmlippen entwickelt und klinisch evaluiert. Während die Bewegungsanalyse Aufschluß über funktionelle Stimmstörungen gibt, beschreiben Parameter der Farb- und Formanalyse morphologische Veränderungen des Stimmlippengewebes. In diesem Beitrag werden die Methoden und bisherigen Ergebnisse zur Bewegungs- und Farbanalyse vorgestellt. Die Bewegungsanalyse wurde mit einem erweiterten Konturmodell (Snakes) durchgeführt. Aufgrund des modifizierten Konturmodells konnten die Konturen der Stimmlippen automatisch über die gesmate Bildsequenz zuverlässig detektiert werden. Die Vermssung der Konturen liefert neue quantitative Parameter zur Befundung von laryngoskopischen Stimmlippenaufnahmen. Um die Farbeigenschaften der Stimmlippen zu bestimmen, wurde ausgehend vom RGB-Bild die Objektfarbe unabhängig von der Farbe der Lichtquelle durch Verwendung von Clusterverfahren und der Viertelkreisanalyse berechnet. Mit dieser Farbanalyse konnte die Farbe der Lichtquelle ermittelt und das beleuchtungsunabhängige Farbbild berechnet werden. Die Quanitifizierung der Rötung der Stimmlippen ist z.B. ein entscheidendes Kriterium zur Diagnostik der akuten Laryngitis.

Although traditional diagnosis methods offered a vital role in early-stage treatment, they are generally time- and resource-consuming. In this context, computer-aided approaches for automatic diagnosis emerged in the literature since early detection is intrinsically related to remission probabilities. However, they still suffer from drawbacks because of the lack of available data for machine learning purposes, thus implying reduced recognition rates. This work introduces Generative Adversarial Networks to generate high-quality endoscopic images, thereby identifying Barrett's esophagus and adenocarcinoma more precisely. Further, Convolution Neural Networks are used for feature extraction and classification purposes. The proposed approach is validated over two datasets of endoscopic images, with the experiments conducted over the full and patch-split images. The application of Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks for the data augmentation step and LeNet-5 and AlexNet for the classification step allowed us to validate the proposed methodology over an extensive set of datasets (based on original and augmented sets), reaching results of 90% of accuracy for the patch-based approach and 85% for the image-based approach. Both results are based on augmented datasets and are statistically different from the ones obtained in the original datasets of the same kind. Moreover, the impact of data augmentation was evaluated in the context of image description and classification, and the results obtained using synthetic images outperformed the ones over the original datasets, as well as other recent approaches from the literature. Such results suggest promising insights related to the importance of proper data for the accurate classification concerning computer-assisted Barrett's esophagus and adenocarcinoma detection.

For learning from labeled data, many powerful deep learning models have been developed recently. In this work, we augment such supervised segmentation models by allowing them to learn from unlabeled data. Our semi-supervised approach, termed Error-Correcting Supervision, leverages a collaborative strategy. Apart from the supervised training on the labeled data, the segmentation network is judged by an additional network. The secondary correction network learns on the labeled data to optimally spot correct predictions, as well as to amend incorrect ones. As auxiliary regularization term, the corrector directly influences the supervised training of the segmentation network. On unlabeled data, the output of the correction network is essential to create a proxy for the unknown truth. The corrector’s output is combined with the segmentation network’s prediction to form the new target. We propose a loss function that incorporates both the pseudo-labels as well as the predictive certainty of the correction network. Our approach can easily be added to supervised segmentation models. We show consistent improvements over a supervised baseline on experiments on both the Pascal VOC 2012 and the Cityscapes datasets with varying amounts of labeled data.

T1 - A Deep Learning Algorithm for Prediction of Age-Related Eye Disease Study Severity Scale for Age-Related Macular Degeneration from Color Fundus Photography JF - Ophtalmology N2 - Purpose Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common threat to vision. While classification of disease stages is critical to understanding disease risk and progression, several systems based on color fundus photographs are known. Most of these require in-depth and time-consuming analysis of fundus images. Herein, we present an automated computer-based classification algorithm. Design Algorithm development for AMD classification based on a large collection of color fundus images. Validation is performed on a cross-sectional, population-based study. Participants. We included 120 656 manually graded color fundus images from 3654 Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) participants. AREDS participants were >55 years of age, and non-AMD sight-threatening diseases were excluded at recruitment. In addition, performance of our algorithm was evaluated in 5555 fundus images from the population-based Kooperative Gesundheitsforschung in der Region Augsburg (KORA; Cooperative Health Research in the Region of Augsburg) study. Methods. We defined 13 classes (9 AREDS steps, 3 late AMD stages, and 1 for ungradable images) and trained several convolution deep learning architectures. An ensemble of network architectures improved prediction accuracy. An independent dataset was used to evaluate the performance of our algorithm in a population-based study. Main Outcome Measures. κ Statistics and accuracy to evaluate the concordance between predicted and expert human grader classification. Results. A network ensemble of 6 different neural net architectures predicted the 13 classes in the AREDS test set with a quadratic weighted κ of 92% (95% confidence interval, 89%–92%) and an overall accuracy of 63.3%. In the independent KORA dataset, images wrongly classified as AMD were mainly the result of a macular reflex observed in young individuals. By restricting the KORA analysis to individuals >55 years of age and prior exclusion of other retinopathies, the weighted and unweighted κ increased to 50% and 63%, respectively. Importantly, the algorithm detected 84.2% of all fundus images with definite signs of early or late AMD. Overall, 94.3% of healthy fundus images were classified correctly. Conclusions Our deep learning algoritm revealed a weighted κ outperforming human graders in the AREDS study and is suitable to classify AMD fundus images in other datasets using individuals >55 years of age.

However, integrating LLM into conventional applications poses challenges due to their non-deterministic nature. This paper introduces a framework designed to effectively integrate LLM into intermediate modules by ensuring more consistent and reliable outputs. The framework includes three key components: the Sieve, which captures and retries processing of incorrect outputs; the Circuit Breaker, which stops processing persistently incorrect outputs; and the Optimizer, which enhances processing efficiency by combining inputs into single prompts. Experimental results employing structured methodology demonstrate the framework's effectiveness, achieving significant improvements a 71.05% reduction in processing time and an 82.97% reduction in token usage while maintaining high accuracy. The proposed framework, agnostic to specific LLM implementations, aids the integration of LLMs into diverse applications, enhancing automation and efficiency in fields such as finance, healthcare, and education.

As soon as variability is involved, transformations become increasingly complicated. The lack of support for variability in model transformations impairs the acceptance of approaches to organized reuse such as software product lines. In this position paper, the general problem of multi-variant model transformations is formulated for MOF-based, XMI-serialized models. A simplistic case study is presented to specify the input and the expected output of such a transformation. Furthermore, requirements for tool support are defined, including a standardized representation of both multi-variant model instances and variability information, as well as an execution specification for multi-variant transformations. A literature review reveals that the problem is weakly identified and often solved using ad-hoc solutions; there exists no tool providing a general solution to the proposed problem statement. The observation s presented here may serve for the future development of standards and tools.

By integrating process design with AI-based algorithms into simulation tools, various construction process layout variants including robot-assisted scenarios can be simulated and evaluated based on user-specific key performance indicators (e.g., ergonomic score, layouting parameters) to identify optimized solutions. A data processing algorithm automates the process, eliminating the need for manual simulation variations and resulting in increased operational productivity. The AI-based system evaluates and optimizes process layouts by adjusting control parameters. A case study on a brick laying process serves as an exemplary use case, highlighting the necessity and impact of adopting process optimization. The findings emphasize the transformative potential of automated process optimization within simulation environments to rethink existing construction practices, enhance worker well-being, and boost operational productivity.

Unfortunately, algorithms for model matching have been rarely evaluated so far. This paper deals with two extensions to the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) that facilitate the evaluation of matching algorithms for EMF models, with the goal to combine user involvement and automated testing in the evaluation process. First a tree editor is presented that allows for the manual and semi-automated creation of match models which formalize the intended matching result. Second a benchmarking procedure is implemented which – given the intended match and the actual results of matching algorithms – automatically derives the number of a and b errors in a target-performance comparison. These results are valuable for drawing conclusions about the specific qualities of matching algorithms or for finding an adequate set of parameters for a configurable algorithm.

During the last couple of years, many tools and languages have been developed, which are especially designed for model transformations — a discipline which is needed in many model-driven engineering approaches. While most of the existing model-to-model tools and languages are tailored towards batch transformations for specific model instances, they lack support for generic transformation problems, where the metamodel is unknown beforehand. In this paper we present a two-step meta-code generation approach that derives a metamodel-specific modelto- model transformation from a model-to-text transformation. The approach has been successfully applied to the problem of product derivation in model-driven software product lines.

In science and probability, coincidence plays a distinctive role in Bayesian Networks (BNs) and Markov Models (MMs). This paper introduces the Tyche algorithm named after the goddess of fortune. The Tyche algorithm is a Markov model designed to generate learning paths in Learning Management Systems (LMSs). A learning path is a type of individualization that personalises the order of learning elements within an LMS course. Learning elements are fundamental components within an LMS course, depicting the learning content in diverse ways. In our case, the learning path tailoring is based on the learner’s learning style according to Felder-Silverman Learning Style Model (FSLSM) – an indicator for the ideal pathway and learning element for the learner’s optimum learning. The Tyche algorithm offers the advantage to provide students the most suitable learning path. Tyche is a MM structure with various matrices containing transition probabilities depending on the learning style. Nine categories of learning elements defined in a previous survey form the basis of the node structure of the MM. For a generic approach, a survey was designed to obtain the transition probabilities depending on the individual learning style. The survey with more than 100 German students participated is processed with the tool LimeSurvey. Students are asked about their learning style using the Index of Learning Styles (ILS) questionnaire according to Felder-Silverman and about the percentage probabilities of learning elements to get their individual sequence as learning path. The percentages are queried in two different ways. Firstly, the students were asked to provide a sequence of learning elements within each position of the sequence filled with probabilities for all learning elements. Secondly, a learning element is given and the students are asked to indicate which learning element they would work on next. The first way of asking for the probabilities is used to find the start node in the MM, whereas the second approach forms the probability matrices between the nodes within the MM. As result of the survey, the Tyche algorithm presents generic transition probabilities. It improves the learning process of individuals only by asking for their learning style: it generates individual learning paths through the learning elements within an LMS based on the MM explained above by solely getting the answers of the ILS questionnaire as input. In the future, other questionnaires such as BFI-10 for personality traits or LIST-K for learning strategies may offer a more comprehensive input. However, the next step is to evaluate Tyche with about 25 students in a software engineering lecture. This is planned for the year 2024.

Quantum Reinforcement Learning for Join Order Optimisation T2 - 2024 IEEE International Conference on Quantum Computing and Engineering (QCE), 15-20 September 2024, Montreal, QC, Canada N2 - Identifying optimal join orders (JOs) stands out as a key challenge in database research and engineering. Owing to the large search space, established classical methods rely on approximations and heuristics. Recent efforts have successfully explored reinforcement learning (RL) for JO. Likewise, quantum versions of RL have received considerable scientific attention. Yet, it is an open question if they can achieve sustainable, overall practical advantages with improved quantum processors. In this paper, we present a novel approach that uses quantum reinforcement learning (QRL) for JO based on a hybrid variational quantum ansatz. It is able to handle general bushy join trees instead of resorting to simpler left-deep variants as compared to approaches based on quantum(-inspired) optimisation, yet requires multiple orders of magnitudes fewer qubits, which is a scarce resource even for post-NISQ systems. Despite moderate circuit depth, the ansatz exceeds current NISQ capabilities, which requires an evaluation by numerical simulations. While QRL may not significantly outperform classical approaches in solving the JO problem with respect to result quality (albeit we see parity), we find a drastic reduction in required trainable parameters. This benefits practically relevant aspects ranging from shorter training times compared to classical RL, less involved classical optimisation passes, or better use of available training data, and fits data-stream and low-latency processing scenarios. Our comprehensive evaluation and careful discussion delivers a balanced perspective on possible practical quantum advantage, provides insights for future systemic approaches, and allows for quantitatively assessing trade-offs of quantum approaches for one of the most crucial problems of database management systems.

While qaoa targets problems in complexity class NP, the classical optimisation procedure required in every iteration is itself known to be NP-hard. Still, advantage over classical approaches is suspected for certain scenarios, but nature and origin of its computational power are not yet satisfactorily understood. By introducing means of efficiently and accurately approximating the qaoa optimisation landscape from solution space structures, we derive a new algorithmic variant: Instead of performing an iterative quantum-classical computation for each input instance, our non-iterative method is based on a quantum circuit that is instance-independent, but problem-specific. It matches or outperforms unit-depth qaoa for key combinatorial problems, despite reduced computational effort. Our approach is based on proving a long-standing conjecture regarding instance-independent structures in qaoa. By ensuring generality, we link existing empirical observations on qaoa parameter clustering to established approaches in theoretical computer science, and provide a sound foundation for understanding the link between structural properties of solution spaces and quantum optimisation.

However, this has changed due to the rising digitalization of vehicles. Security and functional safety have grown together and need to be addressed as a single issue, referred to as automotive security, in the following article. One way to accomplish security is automotive security education. The scientific contribution of this paper is to establish an Automotive Penetration Testing Education Platform (APTEP). It consists of three layers representing different attack points of a vehicle. The layers are the outer, inner, and core layers. Each of those contains multiple interfaces, such as Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) or electric vehicle charging interfaces in the outer layer, message bus systems in the inner layer, and debug or diagnostic interfaces in the core layer. One implementation of APTEP is in a hardware case and as a virtual platform, referred to as the Automotive Network Security Case (ANSKo). The hardware case contains emulated control units and different communication protocols. The virtual platform uses Docker containers to provide a similar experience over the internet. Both offer two kinds of challenges. The first introduces users to a specific interface, while the second combines multiple interfaces, to a complex and realistic challenge. This concept is based on modern didactic theory, such as constructivism and problem-based learning. Computer Science students from the Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule (OTH)Regensburg experienced the challenges as part of a special topic course and provided positive feedback.

Today’s learning management systems provide learning paths without personalizing them to the characteristics of the learner. Therefore, research these days is concentrated on employing AI-based strategies to personalize the systems. However, there are many different AI algorithms, making it challenging to determine which ones are most suited for taking into account the many different features of learner data and learning contents. This paper conducts a systematic literature review in order to discuss the AI-based methods that are frequently used to identify learner characteristics, organize the learning contents, recommend learning paths, and highlight their advantages and disadvantages.

Traditional, text-based version control systems do not sufficiently support three-way merging of ordered collections inside EMF models since they cannot guarantee a consistent result. The operation three-way merging is defined as follows: based on a common base version b, two alternative versions and were developed by copying and modifying the base version. To reconcile these changes, a merged version m is to be created as a common successor of and . In this paper, we present a graph algorithm to solve the problem of three-way merging of ordered collections in EMF models. Each version of a collection can be represented by means of a linearly ordered graph. To create the merged version, these graphs are combined to a merged collection graph using set formula. To create the merged collection, a generalized topological sort is performed on the merged collection graph. Conflicts occur in case the order of elements cannot be deduced automatically; these conflicts are resolved either interactively or by default rules. We have implemented the merge algorithm in our tool BTMerge, which performs a consistency-preserving three-way merge of versions of EMF models being instances of arbitrary Ecore models. Our implementation relies on an alternative form of representing multiple versions of a collection, namely a versioned collection graph which forms a superimposition of collection versions. The algorithm presented here is purely state-based. Matching and merging of collections are clearly separated sub-problems. Insertions and deletions performed on the elements of the collection are propagated into the merged version in a consistent way. Our algorithm makes only minimal assumptions with regard to the underlying product model and thus may be applied to ordered collections inside plain text or XML files. By taking arbitrary move operations into account, the algorithm considerably goes beyond the functionality of contemporary merge tools which cannot adequately handle move operations.

However, existing tools are still immature and have several weaknesses. Among others, limitations in variability, caused by meta model restrictions, and unintended information loss are not addressed. In this paper, we present two conceptual extensions to model-driven product line engineering based on negative variability, being alternative mappings and surrogates. Alternative mappings allow for unconstrained variability, mitigating meta model restrictions by virtually extending the underlying multi-variant domain model. Surrogates prevent unintended information loss during product derivation based on a contextsensitive product analysis, which can be controlled by a declarative OCL-based language. Both extensions have been implemented in FAMILE, a model-driven product line tool that is based on EMF, provides dedicated consistency repair mechanisms, and completely automates application engineering. The added value of alternative mappings and surrogates is demonstrated by a running example.

In particular, sophisticated support for merging model versions is urgently needed. We present a tool for merging of EMF models which may be applied to instances of arbitrary Ecore models. The tool advances the state of the art by guaranteeing a consistent merge result. Furthermore, it detects and resolves not only context-free, but also context-sensitive conflicts. Our merge tool is model-based; it relies on EMF for its implementation. Initial experiences gained from its application confirm that the merge tool operates both accurately and efficiently.

While there are many algorithmic primitives to perform the required calculations, all eventually lead to quantum gates operating on quantum bits, with an order as determined by the structure of the objective function and the properties of target hardware. When the structure of the problem representation is not aligned with structure and boundary conditions of the executing hardware, various overheads to degrade the computation may arise, possibly negating any possible quantum advantage. Therefore, automatic transformations of problem representations play an important role in quantum computing when descriptions (semi-)targeted at humans must be cast into forms that can be executed on quantum computers. Mathematically equivalent formulations are known to result in substantially different non-functional properties depending on hardware, algorithm and detail properties of the problem. Given the current state of noisy-intermediate scale quantum hardware (NISQ), these effects are considerably more pronounced than in classical computing. Likewise, efficiency of the transformation itself is relevant because possible quantum advantage may easily be eradicated by the overhead of transforming between representations. In this paper we consider a specific class of higher-level representations (polynomial unconstrained binary optimisation problems), and devise novel automatic transformation mechanisms into widely used quadratic unconstrained binary optimisation problems that substantially improve efficiency and versatility over the state of the art. We also identify what influence factors of lower-level details can be abstracted away in the transformation process, and which details must be made available to higher-level abstractions.

Abstract With the use of learning management systems students benefit from being recommended suitable learning elements based on their individual needs. In doing so, recommendation algorithms are applied which first query the student’s learning style. To improve the recommendation of learning elements a continuous analysis of the individual’s learning style is required. A frequent questionnaire assessment would however be too time consuming. Instead, in a prior study an algorithm has been designed to identify changes in learning styles from the student’s selection of learning elements. In this paper, we investigate the functionality of that algorithm by applying it on real student data. In particular, we test if the algorithm correctly indicates changes in learning styles. The utilised data is collected in our learning management system. To be precise, the data is obtained from 22 students enrolled in a software engineering course during the winter term of 2023/24. The data comprises two types of information for each student: 1) learning style collected at the start and end of the term, and 2) the user’s actual selection of learning elements inside the learning management system. The uniqueness of this study lies in the data and the evaluation strategy based on it. Having the learning style at the end of the semester period as ground truth allows us to test if the algorithm operates correctly with actual user data from our learning management system. The results validate the behaviour of our algorithm, yet they strongly suggest the need for an adaptation. Further research is required on how to parameterise the underlying models.

Thereby, it is crucial to find (multiple) transformation paths that are optimised for (hardware specific) metrics. We zoom into this pictured tree of transformations by focussing on k-SAT instances as input and their transformation to QUBO, while considering structure and characteristic metrics of input, intermediate and output representations. Our results can be used to rate valid paths of transformation in advance—also in automated (quantum) toolchains. We support the automation aspect by considering stability and therefore predictability of free parameters and transformation paths. Moreover, our findings can be used in the manifesting era of error correction (since considering structure in a high abstraction layer can benefit error correcting codes in layers below). We also show that current research is closely linked to quadratisation techniques and their mathematical foundation.

This is largely due to students' limited capability of finding individual learning paths through various course materials. However, a possible solution to this problem is the introduction of adaptive learning management systems, which recommend tailored learning paths to students – based on their individual learning styles. For the classification of learning styles, the most commonly used methods are questionnaires and learning analytics. Nevertheless, both methods are prone to errors: questionnaires may give superficial answers due to lack of time or motivation, while learning analytics do not reflect offline learning behavior. This paper proposes an alternative approach to classify students' learning styles by integrating eye tracking in combination with Machine Learning (ML) algorithms. Incorporating eye tracking technology into the classification process eliminates the potential problems arising from questionnaires or learning analytics by providing a more objective and detailed analysis of the subject's behavior. Moreover, this approach allows for a deeper understanding of subconscious processes and provides valuable insights into the individualized learning preferences of students. In order to demonstrate this approach, an eye tracking study is conducted with 117 participants using the Tobii Pro Fusion. Using qualitative and quantitative analyses, certain patterns in the subjects' gaze behavior are assigned to their learning styles given by the validated Index of Learning Styles (ILS) questionnaire. In short, this paper presents an innovative solution to the challenges associated with classifying students' learning styles. By combining eye tracking data with ML algorithms, an accurate and insightful understanding of students' individual learning paths can be achieved, ultimately leading to improved educational outcomes and reduced dropout rates.

This is partly due to the fact that students are limited in their ability to explore individual learning paths through different course materials. However, a promising remedy to this issue is the implementation of adaptive learning management systems. These systems recommend customised learning paths to students - based on their individual learning styles. Learning styles are commonly classified using questionnaires and learning analytics, but both methods are prone to error. Questionnaires may yield superficial responses due to time constraints or lack of motivation, while learning analytics ignore offline learning behaviour. To address these limitations, this study aims to integrating Eye Tracking for a more accurate classification of students' learning styles. Ultimately, this comprehensive approach could not only open up a deeper understanding of subconscious processes, but also provide valuable insights into students' unique learning preferences.

Detailed evaluation provides information on the number of papers that use specific methods of analysis (i.e., descriptive or inferential statistics, and gaze visualization) or settings (e.g., sample size, technical setup, and selected aspects of research design). With the data obtained we can infer the popularity of specific analysis methods in the field. Those results enable efficient work on data analysis tools or education of aspiring researchers and can serve as basis for standardization or guidelines within the community—providing for methods to include as well as current inconsistencies.

Both the position and the rotation of the objects are of interest. Common algorithms for object recognition based on neural networks use a regression formulation and are aimed at changing environments. In industrial applications, the setting is different: One would like to determine with high accuracy, the pose of known objects. We are investigating a prototype application in this field, where we identify the rotation of an object in a plane. We use common network architectures and provide an overview of how well they are suited for this purpose. In addition, we compare our results with standard image processing algorithms, paying particular attention to the accuracy with metrics relevant in the industry. Moreover, an U-shape phenomenon with disturbed data occurred during the experiments, which is partially explained analytically.

As this causes industries to release products more frequently and more quickly, industrial designers face problems in developing more complex systems in a decreased amount of time while aiming to meet individualized user requirements and stakeholder demands. If prototypes are infeasible or unaffordable, a successful market implementation of products is jeopardized. As design history proves, the introduction of new technologies to the profession of design has the potential to revolutionize the way of working for industrial designers. Virtual Reality may be one of these revolutions, as Computer-Aid Design has been in the 1980s. The present dissertation investigates the integration of Virtual Reality and its impact on the design process, the respective design method, but also the designer and design as a profession. After defining industrial design and Virtual Reality, a basic framework is proposed that describes a design process consensus model, the transfer of conventional design methods into VR, as well as a preliminary set of criteria for evaluating design studies. Based on this framework, four research questions are defined that initiate the investigation of how Virtual Reality can impact the design process, design methods, the role of designers, and design as a profession. To allow this, a refined set of criteria for evaluating design studies is developed and a benchmark study is conducted that proves the suitability for using Virtual Reality in the chosen context. Subsequently, five design studies are conducted in the field of autonomous mobility for public transport in Singapore to investigate the previously defined questions. The five design methods that are combined with Virtual Reality are heuristic evaluation, surveys, Computer-Aided Design prototyping, usability testing, and product presentation. For each design study, the development of the VR apparatus as well as the data collection and test of the method is explained. Additionally, two conventional design methods are consulted for a subsequent comparative analysis of each VR methods. Beyond the definition of the refined evaluation criteria, consisting of safety, validity, time and cost, variability, interactivity, immersion, and effort, the suitability of using VR for behavioural observation in the present application domain is confirmed. Based on the present investigations, the Virtual Design Toolbox is presented. The toolbox consists of five method cards that explain the usage of Virtual Reality for industrial designers throughout the product development and function as support for successfully developing and applying design methods utilizing this technology. The case studies prove that the usage of Virtual Reality has the potential to impact the design process, as divergent thinking and convergent thinking is fostered through valid data collection, decreased time- and cost- involvement, and increased variability. The roles of the involved designers throughout all design studies shifted from being concept creators towards coordinators and facilitators. Implications are derived on different levels, starting with the technology of Virtual Reality that could be a future game changer for research and design, followed by increased motivation to participate in design studies, the need for interdisciplinary teams to establish the required expertise, and lastly integration of Virtual Reality in design education. The usage of Virtual Reality in design will not replace conventional design methods but has the potential to lead to a paradigm shift for the whole profession of design. N2 - Der technologische Fortschritt entwickelt sich in Richtung Automatisierung und Digitalisierung, was zu erhöhter Effizienz und damit zu verkürzten Produktentwicklungszeiten und verkürzten Produktlebenszyklen führt. Da dies die Industrie dazu veranlasst, Produkte häufiger und schneller zur Marktreife zu bringen, stehen Industriedesigner vor dem Problem, komplexere Systeme in kürzerer Zeit entwickeln zu müssen und gleichzeitig die individuellen Anforderungen der Nutzenden und anderer Stakeholder zu erfüllen. Wenn Prototypen nicht fertigbar oder nicht bezahlbar sind, ist eine erfolgreiche Markteinführung gefährdet. Wie die Designgeschichte beweist, hat die Implementierung neuartiger Technologien in den Beruf des Designers das Potenzial, die Arbeitsweise des Industriedesigners zu revolutionieren. In der vorliegenden Dissertation wird daher die Integration und die Auswirkung von Virtual Reality auf den Designprozess, Designmethoden, aber auch den Designer und das Design als Profession untersucht. Nach der Definition von Industriedesign und Virtual Reality wird ein grundlegendes Vorgehen vorgeschlagen, das ein Konsensmodell für den Designprozess, die Übertragung konventioneller Designmethoden in die VR sowie vorläufige Evaluierungskriterien zur Bewertung von Designstudien beschreibt. Basierend auf diesem Vorgehen werden vier Forschungsfragen definiert, die die Untersuchung einleiten, wie Virtual Reality den Designprozess, Designmethoden, die Rolle von Designern und Design als Profession beeinflussen kann. Um dies zu ermöglichen, wird mit Hilfe von Experteninterviews ein ausgearbeitetes Set von Evaluierungskriterien zur Bewertung von Designstudien entwickelt und eine Benchmark-Studie durchgeführt, die die Eignung für die Verwendung von Virtual Reality in der gewählten Applikationsdomäne belegt. Anschließend werden fünf Designstudien im Bereich autonomer Mobilität für den öffentlichen Verkehr in Singapur durchgeführt, um die zuvor definierten Forschungsfragen zu untersuchen. Die fünf Designmethoden, die mit Virtual Reality kombiniert werden, sind heuristische Evaluation, Umfragen, Computer-Aided-Design Prototyping, Usability-Tests und Produktpräsentation. Für jede Designstudie wird die Entwicklung des VR Apparats sowie die Datenerhebung und der Test der Methode erläutert. Zusätzlich werden zwei konventionelle Designmethoden für eine anschließende vergleichende Analyse herangezogen. Nach der Definition der verfeinerten Bewertungskriterien, bestehend aus Sicherheit, Validität, Zeit und Kosten, Variabilität, Interaktivität, Immersion und Aufwand, wird die Eignung der Verwendung von Virtual Reality zur Datenerhebung in der vorliegenden Anwendungsdomäne bestätigt. Basierend auf den vorliegenden Untersuchungen wird die Virtual Design Toolbox vorgestellt. Die Toolbox besteht aus fünf Methodenkarten, die den Einsatz von Virtual Reality für Industriedesigner während der Produktentwicklung erklären und als Unterstützung für die erfolgreiche Entwicklung und Anwendung von Designmethoden mit dieser Technologie dienen. Die Fallstudien belegen, dass der Einsatz von Virtual Reality das Potenzial hat, den Designprozess zu beeinflussen, da divergentes und konvergentes Denken durch valide Datenerhebung, verringerten Zeit- und Kostenaufwand und erhöhte Variabilität gefördert wird. Die Rollen der beteiligten Designer verschoben sich in allen Designstudien von der Rolle des Konzepterstellers hin zum Koordinator und Moderator. Implikationen werden auf verschiedenen Ebenen abgeleitet, beginnend mit der Technologie von Virtual Reality, die ein zukünftiger Game-Changer für Forschung und Design sein könnte, gefolgt von der gesteigerten Motivation, an Designstudien teilzunehmen, der Notwendigkeit interdisziplinärer Teams, um die erforderliche Expertise zu etablieren, und schließlich der Integration von Virtual Reality in die Designausbildung. Der Einsatz von Virtual Reality im Design wird herkömmliche Designmethoden nicht ersetzen, hat jedoch das Potenzial, zu einem Paradigmenwechsel für das gesamte Berufsfeld des Designs zu führen.

However, they influence the way these systems are designed. Each change of the platform and application software results in an effort required to ensure and validate the functional correctness and timing requirements of these systems in a multi-core platform. For this reason, the use of the Logical Execution Time (LET) paradigm is advantageous for multi-core systems, as it satisfies these requirements by providing time and dataflow determinism, thereby reducing the development cycle and the impact of the platform in the design of such systems. To integrate LET into these systems, special mechanisms are required to satisfy its semantics. Therefore, this work focuses on buffering and scheduling techniques for resource efficient integration of LET in automotive systems. A buffering mechanism and an automatic schedule synthesis are proposed to guarantee functional correctness, timing requirements, and LET semantics and to reduce the increased demands of LET for memory and processor resources. A static and global buffering protocol is proposed, which compared to lock-based protocols has plausible memory needs and zero-communication overheads at the boundaries of LET intervals. The automatic schedule synthesis considers the Operating System (OS) overheads such that scheduling is optimized with respect to context-switching overheads caused by preemption. Buffering implements most of the LET semantics, but it provides no guarantee that tasks execute within their LET intervals. If scheduling is not designed to ensure that all tasks execute within their LET intervals, then functional correctness and LET semantics are violated. The manual design of a feasible schedule that satisfies the semantics and additional requirements of the application is inefficient and requires a significant amount of effort. Therefore, an automatic schedule generation approach for the Fixed-Priority Scheduling (FPS) and Time-Triggered Scheduling (TTS) is proposed. FPS is the widely used mechanism in the automotive domain because of its flexibility to handle dynamic changes of highly event-driven applications. Recently, TTS has attracted considerable attention in this domain to increase deterministic execution of tasks and efficient planning of processor resources. Therefore, schedule synthesis of FPS and TTS is provided to identify the efficiency, practicality, and resource optimization abilities of each approach for LET systems. To show the practicality of LET for industrial automotive systems, its integration into the software architecture of the classic platform of AUTomotive Open System Architecture (AUTOSAR) is described and a case study is conducted using a real world system.
