Workshop: Vorgehensmodelle in der Praxis - Werkzeuge und Anwendung (TUM)}, year = {2008}, abstract = {Aktuelle Projekte werden nur noch selten von einem einzigen Team an einem einzigen Standort bearbeitet. Um verteilt arbeitende Teams, Auftrag- und Unterauftragnehmer zu koordinieren, ist einerseits ein abgestimmtes Vorgehen notwendig, andererseits m{\"u}ssen Projekte in solchen Szenarios durch Werkzeuge unterst{\"u}tzt werden. Die problemorientierte und organisationsspezifische Integration von Werkzeugen und Vorgehensmodellen ist ein wesentliches Erfolgskriterium f{\"u}r Organisationen und ihre Projekte. Werkzeuge k{\"o}nnen Anwender unterst{\"u}tzen und durch vorgegebene Prozesse wie z.B. Risikomanagement oder Berichtswesen f{\"u}hren. Eine nahtlose Integration eines Vorgehensmodells in eine gegebene und akzeptierte Werkzeugumgebung kann sich positiv auf den Erfolg von Prozessanpassungen auswirken. Effizienzsteigerungen, bspw. durch die automatische Generierung von Vorlagen oder Dokumentation, machen Werkzeugintegrierte Prozesse auch f{\"u}r Entwickler interessant. Auf der anderen Seite m{\"u}ssen Projektspezifische Anforderungen an Werkzeuge und Prozesse ber{\"u}cksichtigt werden, die eine Flexibilit{\"a}t in der Anwendung und Benutzung erforderlich machen. Dieser 3. Workshop diskutiert in Fortsetzung der Workshops Formalisierung und Anwendung sowie Reife und Qualit{\"a}t unterschiedliche und facettenreiche Fragen, die sich hinsichtlich der Werkzeugunterst{\"u}tzung und der werkzeuggef{\"u}hrten Anwendung von Vorgehensmodellen ergeben. Insbesondere die semi- und vollautomatische Integration von Vorgehensmodellen, die Generierung von Arbeitsumgebungen und Optionen zur Anwenderunterst{\"u}tzung und Anwenderf{\"u}hrung spielen hier zentrale Rollen. Im Zentrum des Workshops steht der Lifecycle von Vorgehensmodellen mit dem Schwerpunkt der Operationalisierung durch Werkzeuge und der gef{\"u}hrten/unterst{\"u}tzten Anwendung. Von besonderem Interesse sind Fragen nach der Konzeption und Durchf{\"u}hrung von Werkzeugen und Anwenderunterst{\"u}tzung im Kontext verschiedener Vorgehensmodelle, wie bspw. dem V-Modell XT, Scrum, Prince2, RUP, XP. Themen{\"u}berblick: Der 1-t{\"a}ige Workshop zielt im Wesentlichen auf folgende Themen: Verbesserung der Akzeptanz von Vorgehensmodellen Werkzeugunterst{\"u}tzte Prozesseinf{\"u}hrung: Einf{\"u}hrung und Einf{\"u}hrbarkeit mithilfe von Werkzeugen Etablierung und Durchsetzung, Do's und Dont's Kontinuierliche werkzeugunterst{\"u}tzte Prozessverbesserung Kosten und Nutzen, Abh{\"a}ngigkeiten, Vor- und Nachteile Werkzeugunterst{\"u}tzung bei der Projektdurchf{\"u}hrung Lose gekoppelte Werkzeuglandschaften vs. integrierte Tools Werkzeugunterst{\"u}tzte Planung, Steuerung von Agilen Projekten Unterst{\"u}tzung f{\"u}r kleine, große und verteilte Teams Werkzeugunterst{\"u}tzung bei Auswahl, Anpassung und Tailoring Grenzen der Werkzeugunterst{\"u}tzung Formalisierung und Werkzeugunterst{\"u}tzung von Prozessen und Prozessschritten Vorgehens- und Reifegradmodelle: V-Model XT, XP, CMMI, RUP, Scrum etc.}, language = {de} } @phdthesis{Beneken2008, author = {Beneken, Gerd}, title = {Logische Architekturen: Eine Theorie der Strukturen und ihre Anwendung in Dokumentation und Projektmanagement }, school = {Technische Hochschule Rosenheim}, year = {2008}, abstract = {Software-Architektur und Projektmanagement sind Mittel, um große Software-Entwicklungsprojekte beherrschbar zu machen.

A major problem in extractive MS using MMR is finding a proper query: the centroid based query which is commonly used in the absence of a manually specified query, can not significantly outperform a simple baseline system. We introduce a simple yet robust algorithm to automatically extract keyphrases (KP) from a meeting which can then be used as a query in the MMR algorithm. We show that the KP based system significantly outperforms both baseline and centroid based systems. As human refined KPs show even better summarization performance, we outline how to integrate the KP approach into a graphical user interface allowing interactive summarization to match the user's needs in terms of summary length and topic focus.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{TurStolckeVossetal.2008, author = {Tur, Gokhan and Stolcke, Andreas and Voss, Lynn and Dowding, John and Favre, Benoit and Fernandez, Raquel and Frampton, Matthew and Frandsen, Michael and Frederickson, Clive and Graciarena, Martin and Hakkani-T{\"u}r, Dilek and Kintzing, Donald and Leveque, Kyle and Mason, Shane and Niekrasz, John and Peters, Stanley and Purver, Matthew and Riedhammer, Korbinian and Shriberg, Elizabeth and Tien, Jing and Vergyri, Dimitra and Yang, Fan}, title = {The CALO Meeting Speech Recognition and Understanding System}, series = {2008 IEEE Workshop on Spoken Language Technologies (SLT), Goa, India, December 2008.}, booktitle = {2008 IEEE Workshop on Spoken Language Technologies (SLT), Goa, India, December 2008.}, pages = {69 -- 72}, year = {2008}, abstract = {The CALO meeting assistant provides for distributed meeting capture, annotation, automatic transcription and semantic analysis of multiparty meetings, and is part of the larger CALO personal assistant system.

Intelligibility on a telephone is an important evaluation criterion as it is a crucial part of social life. An objective measure of intelligibility when talking on a telephone is desirable in the field of postlaryngectomy speech therapy and its evaluation. Based upon successful earlier studies with broadband speech, an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system was applied to 41 recordings of postlaryngectomy patients. Recordings were available in different signal qualities; quality was the crucial criterion for this study. Compared to the intelligibility rating of 5 human experts, the ASR system had a correlation coefficient of r = -0.87 and Krippendorff's alpha of 0.65 when broadband speech was processed. The rater group alone achieved alpha = 0.66. With the test recordings in telephone quality, the system reached r = -0.79 and alpha = 0.67. For medical purposes, a comprehensive diagnostic approach to (substitute) voice has to cover both subjective and objective tests. An automatic recognition system such as the one proposed in this study can be used for objective intelligibility rating with results comparable to those of human experts. This holds for broadband speech as well as for automatic evaluation via telephone.}, language = {en} } @article{SchmidtNiemann2008, author = {Schmidt, Jochen and Niemann, H.}, title = {Data Selection for Hand-eye Calibration: A Vector Quantization Approach}, series = {The International Journal of Robotics Research}, journal = {The International Journal of Robotics Research}, year = {2008}, abstract = {This paper presents new vector quantization based methods for selecting well-suited data for hand-eye calibration from a given sequence of hand and eye movements. Data selection can improve the accuracy of classic hand-eye calibration, and make it possible in the first place in situations where the standard approach of manually selecting positions is inconvenient or even impossible, especially when using continuously recorded data. A variety of methods is proposed, which differ from each other in the dimensionality of the vector quantization compared to the degrees of freedom of the rotation representation, and how the rotation angle is incorporated. The performance of the proposed vector quantization based data selection methods is evaluated using data obtained from a manually moved optical tracking system (hand) and an endoscopic camera (eye).}, language = {en} } @incollection{YeapWongSchmidt2008, author = {Yeap, W.K. and Wong, C.K. and Schmidt, Jochen}, title = {Using a Mobile Robot to Test a Theory of Cognitive Mapping.}, series = {Robotics and Cognitive Approaches to Spatial Mapping, Springer Tracts in Advanced Robotics}, booktitle = {Robotics and Cognitive Approaches to Spatial Mapping, Springer Tracts in Advanced Robotics}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, publisher = {Technische Hochschule Rosenheim}, year = {2008}, abstract = {This paper describes using a mobile robot, equipped with some sonar sensors and an odometer, to test navigation through the use of a cognitive map.

Ten trials were conducted and the robot found its way home each time. From four random positions in two trials, the robot estimated the home position relative to its current position reasonably accurately. Our robot does not solve the simultaneous localization and mapping problem and the map computed is fuzzy and inaccurate with much of the details missing. In each homeward journey, it computes a new cognitive map of the same part of the environment, as seen from the perspective of the homeward journey. We show how the robot uses distance information from both maps to find its way home.}, language = {en} }
