A major trend in information society is the integration of personal information from different sources. Digital data about persons, their behavior, their content and their social structure is merged into the personal information sphere; a multi-dimensional space containing information related to a person. In the research ...

The purpose of the paper is to make a step towards a development approach for ubiquitous computing application. Therefore, we answer the following research questions: first, what is ubiquitous computing; second, which challenges of ubiquitous system development poses the particular nature of ubiquitous computing; and ...

Securing IT infrastructures of our modern lives is a challenging task because of their increasing complexity, scale and agile nature. Monolithic approaches such as using stand-alone firewalls and IDS devices for protecting the perimeter cannot cope with complex malwares and multistep attacks. Collaborative security emerges ...

This half day workshop will provide an overview of the Packet Core Network evolution starting with the introduction of global fixed and mobile next generation network standards and outlining its evolution in regard to the emerging Future Internet, which is driven by international research programmes, such as GENI in the ...

Aufgrund der steigenden Zahl softwarebasierter Funktionen kommt in der Automobilindustrie der baureihenübergreifenden Wiederverwendung dieser Funktionen und der damit verbundenen Handhabung von Varianz eine essentielle Bedeutung zu. In den Entwicklungsbereichen existieren für die modellbasierte Softwareentwicklung mit ...

At present dramatic advances are seen in sensor and multi-sensor fusion techniques, in networking and multi-agent system design, and in capabilities of robotic platforms in terms of robustness and endurance. Applications for autonomous surveillance appear on the horizon, especially wanted for hazardous or dangerous ...

Im vergangenen Jahr wurden in Köln zwei Kampagnen zur Einflußnahme auf die Kölner Kommunalpolitik im wesentlichen mitbestimmt durch Aktionen im Internet. Mit der Kampagne ”Kölner gestalten Zukunft” (http://kölner-gestalten-zukunft.de) schlossen sich alle Kölner Wohlfahrtsverbände in einem eigens dafür gestalteten Social ...

Manual generation of vocal speech user interfaces requires effort in different disciplines. This includes designing the interaction between a user and the system, configuring toolkits for speech input and output of the user interface, and setting up a dialogue manager for the behavior of the user interface. It requires ...
