Recent years have seen a proliferation of mobile devices connected to the internet, including connected cars. These systems send a stream of position annotated messages when requesting location based services. The position information in turn can be used to improve those services. Here, we focus on online map matching ...

The paradigm of cyber-physical systems (CPSs) is changing in our days. While a decade ago they were regarded as technical systems, they are now intellectualized as socially deeply embedded and behaviorally personalized systems. This has influence on the manifestations of CPSs and on the interaction with these systems. ...

Software-as-a-Service is a delivery model whose basic idea is to provide applications to the customer on demand over the Internet. SaaS thereby promotes multi-tenancy as a tool to exploit economies of scale. This means that a single application instance serves multiple customers. However, a major drawback of SaaS is the ...

Automotive embedded systems have become very complex, are strongly integrated, and the safety-criticality of these systems pose new challenges. Distributed system development, short time-to-market intervals, and automotive safety standards (such as ISO 26262) require efficient and consistent product development along the ...

Through the risen operating of autonomous and automated Accounting Information System (AIS), enterprises are increasingly faced with the growing size of accounting-relevant data. Therefore, the audit's purpose, which is namely to examine the true and fair view of financial statements, is heavily increasing in complexity. ...

As a contribution for eScience, we discuss the bottom-up derivation of scientific choreography models from existing simulation workflows interconnected as a multi-scale and multi-field simulation. Starting from a motivating scenario of only implicitly coupled simulation workflows for the studying of thermal aging of ...

Compliance has evolved into a mature research topic in business process management (BPM). However, most companies and BPM tool providers do not incorporate advanced methods from scientific research into their everyday life. This work gives an insight on the state in the industry based on expert interviews in companies ...

The OASIS TOSCA specification [OAS13b] aims at enhancing the portability and interoperability of cloud-based applications by providing a language to describe and manage them across heterogeneous clouds. A cloud-based application is modelled by a service template, an orchestration of typed nodes which can be in turn ...

In diesem Beitrag wird die Notwendigkeit des konsequenten Einsatzes von IT-gestützten Modellen im Systems Engineering, exemplarisch aus Sicht der Raumfahrtindustrie, motiviert und dabei auf aktuell existierende Anforderungen und Probleme eingegangen. Aus wissenschaftlich-technischer Sicht wird dabei auf Problemstellungen ...
