Vor allem, da es sich um ein architekturhistorisch junges Themenfeld handelt. Speziell {\"u}ber die nachhaltige Bauweise am Campus Passau, der erst in den 1970er Jahren im Zuge eines st{\"a}dtebaulichen Ideen- und Bauwettbewerbes entstand und stetig erweitert wird, und deren Wurzeln ist der {\"O}ffentlichkeit wenig bekannt. Um diese Informationsl{\"u}cke zu schließen und die Frage zu beantworten, wie Architekturwettbewerbe im Allgemeinen eine nachhaltige Baukultur f{\"u}r Universit{\"a}ten beg{\"u}nstigen oder sogar festschreiben k{\"o}nnen, ist die Dissertation „UNIVERSIT{\"A}T NACHHALTIG BAUEN" entstanden. In ihr wird im Zuge der Erforschung der Architekturgeschichte der Universit{\"a}t Passau analysiert, wie Architekturwettbewerbe die Entstehung ihres nachhaltigen Campus etabliert haben und wie sie das auch weiterhin tun. Somit wird ein signifikanter Beitrag zur architektur- sowie insbesondere ideengeschichtlichen Aufarbeitung von Wettbewerbsverfahren als Instrument nachhaltigen Hochschulbaus geleistet. Im Besonderen wird die Identit{\"a}t der Universit{\"a}t Passau als nachhaltige Hochschule {\"u}ber die Darlegung der Tradition klimafreundlichen Bauens am Campus, welche ihren Ursprung in Konkurrenzen hat, gefestigt. Diese exemplarische Entwicklung mit Leitbildcharakter wird erstmals unter Fokussierung auf ein zukunftsweisendes, aktuell sehr pr{\"a}sentes Thema Nachhaltigkeit, zusammenh{\"a}ngend systematisch dokumentiert, analysiert, kontextualisiert sowie kritisch diskutiert. Ziel dieser Vorgehensweise ist es, einen Nachweis fortdauernder nachhaltiger Baukultur, Architektur sowie nachhaltigen St{\"a}dtebaus am Beispiel des Campus Passau zu erbringen. Untersucht wird die Zeitspanne ab der Gr{\"u}ndung anhand der Analyse der entsprechenden Architekturwettbewerbe, mit Schwerpunkt auf das urspr{\"u}ngliche Verfahren der 70er Jahre f{\"u}r den Campus am Inn bis hin zum aktuellen Verfahren f{\"u}r den Neubau des Internationalen Wissenschaftszentrums am Spitzberg.

"Deep" refers to the deep architectures with operations in manifolds of which there are no immediate observations. For these deep architectures some kind of structure is pre-defined -- but what is this structure? With a formal definition for structures of neural networks, neural architecture search problems and solution methods can be formulated under a common framework. Both practical and theoretical questions arise from closing the gap between applied neural architecture search and learning theory. Does structure make a difference or can it be chosen arbitrarily? This work is concerned with deep structures of artificial neural networks and examines automatic construction methods under empirical principles to shed light on to the so called ``black-box models''. Our contributions include a formulation of graph-induced neural networks that is used to pose optimisation problems for neural architecture. We analyse structural properties for different neural network objectives such as correctness, robustness or energy consumption and discuss how structure affects them. Selected automation methods for neural architecture optimisation problems are discussed and empirically analysed. With the insights gained from formalising graph-induced neural networks, analysing structural properties and comparing the applicability of neural architecture search methods qualitatively and quantitatively we advance these methods in two ways. First, new predictive models are presented for replacing computationally expensive evaluation schemes, and second, new generative models for informed sampling during neural architecture search are analysed and discussed.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Juhos2024, author = {Juhos, Michael}, title = {Probabilistic and geometric aspects of classical and non-commutative lp-type spaces in high dimensions}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:739-opus4-14857}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Passau}, pages = {viii, 157 Seiten}, year = {2024}, abstract = {This cumulative dissertation contains selected contributions to the field of asymptotic geometric analysis and high-dimensional probability.

Often, there exist multiple apps for the same purpose, and it is the choice of the end user to pick an appropriate app. Apps that behave unexpected, e.g., crash frequently, are sooner or later replaced, which isundesirable for the companies developing such apps. Thus, it is essential to tests apps properly before they are released onto the market. However, testing manually is often not only too cost-intensive but also too time-consuming in the short development phase, thus an automated solution is preferred. Testing mobile apps automatically received increased attention in the last decade from primarily people in academia, and several testing techniques evolved. One technique that yielded promising results, especially in different domains, is search-based software testing in which a metaheuristic, e.g., a genetic algorithm, is applied to solve an optimisation problem, e.g., test generation. A main objective of test generation is to produce tests that reveal as many faults as possible. This in turn requires the generation of tests that deeply explore the tested app. The core metric to quantify how much code tests cover is the measurement of code coverage, which can be computed at different levels of granularity ranging from determining the fraction of covered activities to a very fine-grained measurement that calculates the percentage of covered lines. This coverage information is then often used to guide the search of the employed metaheuristic. However, current automated test generation approaches produce tests with a rather low code coverage. Thus, a substantial part of tested apps remains unexplored, which in turn misses revealing deeply residing faults. We identified three core issues that are directly related to the generation of low-coverage tests. First, the applicability of current test generators is often limited. This comprises the fact that current state-of-the-art code coverage tools are incapable of instrumenting a substantial number of apps and consequently, test generators cannot utilise detailed coverage information during exploration. In addition, test generators are often only equipped with a primitive set of actions that are insufficient to simulate system events and complex user inputs. Second, the test execution is extremely time-consuming. This includes among other things the overhead associated with executing individual actions, intermediate restart operations as well as fitness evaluations. Since search-based algorithms require a substantial number of test executions to play out their strengths, the slow test execution impedes the effectiveness of the search. Third, the guidance offered by search-based algorithms is often hampered by applying inadequate fitness functions or by using non-representation-specific variation operators. In this thesis we address the problem of low-coverage tests in the Android domain by proposing several enhancements for the three identified core issues. Concerning the applicability problem, we provide the implementation of a robust code coverage tool that is capable of measuring coverage at different levels of granularity and requires no access to the source code. We also propose to include actions that can simulate system events as well as complex user inputs. Regarding the performance issue, we suggest the integration of a surrogate model that is capable of predicting the outcome of individual actions or complete tests over time in order to reduce the overall test execution costs. With respect to the lack of guidance offered by traditional search-based algorithms, we suggest alternative search strategies. In the case of a deceptive fitness landscape, we propose using novelty search algorithms. Alternatively, we suggest utilising estimation of distribution algorithms that require no crossover or mutation perators to sample new tests. While all those enhancements had a positive impact on the Android test generation process, the individual empirical studies highlighted that further research is necessary to unleash the full power of the proposed search-based algorithms. In particular, exploring complex user interfaces meaningfully requires more attention whether by introducing additional actions or by extracting valuable hints to infer reasonable text inputs. In addition, the guidance offered by fitness functions is often limited because they are either designed too coarse at all or do not accurately reflect the search objectives.}, language = {en} } @techreport{BohnenkaemperFussederEmmanouilidisetal.2024, author = {Bohnenk{\"a}mper, Ronja and Fußeder, Christina and Emmanouilidis, Georgios and Emmert, Cornelia and Haberger, Mathias and Hartmann, Nils and Hohlfeldt, Leonie and J{\"a}ckel, Franziska and K{\"o}rber, Janina and Listl, Johannes and Ostendorp, Falk and Pantaleon Osuna, Alvaro and Steinmetzer, Luzie and Thurl, Lena and Ungruhe, Christian and Wagener, Jonas and Wehner, Stefanie}, title = {Socio-economic development and migration in rural Ghana : report from field research in Amedzofe, Volta Region}, number = {3}, editor = {Ungruhe, Christian and Pantaleon Osuna, Alvaro and Wehner, Stefanie}, doi = {10.15475/mitrawa.upa3}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:739-opus4-14865}, pages = {25 Seiten}, year = {2024}, abstract = {Migration plays a significant role in Ghanaian society, particularly in rural areas where its impact is inextricably linked to socio-economic dynamics.

They can even outperform human decision-making in many task domains (Meehl, 1954; Dawes et al., 1989). The prominent defeat of Garry Kasparov, the world champion in chess, in 1997 is a milestone for the potentials of algorithms, increasing the value of IBM's stock increased by \$18 billion (Norvig and Russell, 2010). More recently, universal chatbots such as ChatGPT and the Bing Chatbot Sydney can influence millions of users and provide them answers to a broad range of tasks. To gain a competitive edge, companies invest heavily in algorithmic systems (Kappelman et al., 2021), which are considered as one of the most important drivers of today's economy (Brynjolfsson and McAfee, 2011; Hogharth and Makridakis, 1981; {\"O}nkal et al., 2019). Particularly in management accounting, an algorithmic data analysis offers the potential to support a high decision quality, making their usage a key factor for success. However, algorithms can not only support, but also manipulate human decision-making (Roose et al., 2023). Algorithmic advice can lead to overtrust, i.e. to the heuristic replacement of vigilant information seeking and processing in favor of the advice provided (Mosier et al., 2001). The implementation of algorithmic decision support systems is thus no panacea to improve human decision-making. In contrast, they can entail new risks, such as the uncritical use of these algorithms (Boden, 2016). Yet, this 'dark side' of algorithms is not sufficiently investigated in the field of management accounting. With advances in machine learning, algorithmic support can become even more of a black box, blurring the reference points for evaluating its advice quality and thus increasing the risk of overtrust. Stephen Hawking even warns that AI will be "either the best, or the worst thing, ever to happen to humanity" (Alex Hern in: The Guardian: Stephen Hawking: AI will be 'either best or worst thing' for humanity, 19th October 2016). Interacting with such algorithmic systems therefore requires data literacy skills for an appropriate use. They seem to be a crucial prerequisite in today's data-driven world to reap of the benefits of algorithmic systems. If no reflective and critical interaction between human and algorithm can be ensured, the trend towards a digitalized world will be a race against the algorithm (Brynjolfsson and McAfee, 2011). This dissertation takes this understudied critical perspective on the increasing implementation of algorithmic systems and sheds light on different aspects of human-algorithm interaction, ranging from the ability to use data visualization tools to trust calibrations and critical evaluations of algorithmic advices. Study I investigates an adequate information representation of subjective multiple criteria decision problems, an important task in management accounting, to support human decision-making. Study II distinguishes different designs of the human-algorithm interaction investigated in the trust in automation literature and compiles factors influencing the calibration of trust and behavior toward the true capabilities of the algorithm. Study III examines the role of performance feedback on trust and advice usage in a forecasting task for a better understanding of the recently observed phenomenon 'algorithm aversion'. Finally, Study IV focusses on the risk of overtrust in advice in repeated interactions with a forecasting advisor and investigates the calibration of advice usage.

To master these challenges, suppliers need excellent commercial capabilities. This thesis considers these challenges and opportunities in sales, contracting, and pricing of complex B2B solutions in three essays: Essay 1 addresses the increased complexity for solution salespeople, who represent an essential strategic asset in solution selling. In-depth interviews with solution sales managers in study 1 and survey data from matched sales manager-salesperson dyads in study 2, reveal nine specific equifinal configurations of key personal and procedural competencies that qualify individual salespeople in their role and thus determine their solution sales success. The focus of essay 2 lies on B2B export relationships for complex product-service combinations in an international context. A regression analysis based on a survey study with 198 responses shows several direct and indirect effects of contractual and cultural constructs. The results give insights under which cultural framework conditions contract specificity serves as a safeguarding mechanism against uncertainty and opportunism. Essay 3 examines how the bidirectional agency relationship between suppliers and customers and the performance uncertainty of a solution influence B2B customers' acceptance of performance-based pricing (PBP). Drawing on a cross-industry survey with 196 managers of B2B firms, this study contributes to extend PBP literature by showing how bidirectional agency relationships shape customers' acceptance of PBP. In sum, this thesis contributes to a better understanding on how to optimize commercial capabilities in the context of national and international solution selling. It thereby focuses on addressing recently identified causes that hinder B2B firms from increasing their margins through solution selling by (1) optimizing the sales force through a better understanding of important resources and capabilities for solution selling, (2) optimizing their contractual set-up through a better understanding of cultural factors and the interplay with contract specificity, and 3) optimizing price policy through a better understanding of framework conditions, which have an impact on customers' acceptance of PBP.}, language = {en} } @unpublished{KloepfWehner2024, author = {Kl{\"o}pf, Tobias and Wehner, Stefanie}, title = {Vulnerabilities and capacities : dealing with coastal flooding in Ghana´s Volta Region}, number = {2}, address = {Passau}, doi = {10.15475/mitrawa.upa2}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:739-opus4-14597}, pages = {14 Seiten}, year = {2024}, abstract = {Coastal flooding events pose an existential threat to populations around the world, particularly in the Global South.

This research addresses how the distributed generation location and capacity impact the operation of the circuit breaker in terms of the response time of the circuit breakers. The relative electrical distances of the faults and distributed generation to the circuit breakers are considered. The impact of distributed generation capacity considering the fault location is characterized using a new index called the heterogeneity index. The electrical distance between distributed generations and circuit breakers and the electrical distance between fault and circuit breaker is considered by a second new index called the electrical distance ratio. Data analysis on simulation results shows that these indices capture the phenomena of protection blinding caused by distributed generation. Results show that a higher distributed generation penetration and faults that are electri cally further away from a circuit breaker show severe cases of protection blinding captured by the indices. Furthermore, it is demonstrated how these indices can identify the worst impacted locations in the distribution grid. A key result is that protection blinding does not necessarily occur solely due to the presence of distributed generation between a circuit breaker and a fault, but is dependent on factors such as distributed generation location in the distribution grid, fault level, fault level distribution across the generation units and fault location.}, language = {en} } @article{FekihHassenChallouf2024, author = {Fekih Hassen, Wiem and Challouf, Maher}, title = {Long short-term renewable energy sources prediction for grid-management systems based on stacking ensemble model}, series = {Energies}, volume = {2024}, journal = {Energies}, number = {17(13)}, doi = {10.3390/en17133145}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:739-opus4-14649}, pages = {19 Seiten}, year = {2024}, abstract = {The transition towards sustainable energy systems necessitates effective management of renewable energy sources alongside conventional grid infrastructure. This paper presents a comprehensive approach to optimizing grid management by integrating Photovoltaic (PV), wind, and grid energies to minimize costs and enhance sustainability. A key focus lies in developing an accurate scheduling algorithm utilizing Mixed Integer Programming (MIP), enabling dynamic allocation of energy resources to meet demand while minimizing reliance on cost-intensive grid energy. An ensemble learning technique, specifically a stacking algorithm, is employed to construct a robust forecasting pipeline for PV and wind energy generation. The forecasting model achieves remarkable accuracy with a Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) of less than 0.1 for short-term (15 min and one day ahead) and long-term (one week and one month ahead) predictions. By combining optimization and forecasting methodologies, this research contributes to advancing grid management systems capable of harnessing renewable energy sources efficiently, thus facilitating cost savings and fostering sustainability in the energy sector.}, language = {en} } @misc{Maegdefrau2024, author = {M{\"a}gdefrau, Jutta}, title = {Planung kompetenzorientierten Unterrichts}, series = {Vorbereitung der Schulpraxis: Studientexte zur Schulp{\"a}dagogik}, journal = {Vorbereitung der Schulpraxis: Studientexte zur Schulp{\"a}dagogik}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:739-opus4-14574}, pages = {8 Seiten}, year = {2024}, abstract = {Der Beitrag stellt auf der Basis der kritisch-konstruktiven Didaktik von Wolfgang Klafki eine Unterrichtsplanung in sieben Schritten vor, an der entlang insbesondere Studierende oder Referendar:innen ihre schriftlichen Unterrichtsvorbereitungen verfassen k{\"o}nnen.
