The thesis "E-Partizipation Virtual Ressourcen Portal" describes the conception and implementation of the Virtual Resource Centre (VRC), an international resource and knowledge portal for multidisciplinary research and application areas in the domain of eParticipation. The need for such a portal was developed in the context of the European DEMO_net project, the eParticipation network of excellence. The aim of this portal is to improve the spreading of the actual knowledge of the connected researchers and practitioner in the domain of eParticipation. For this, the collaboration and discussion with each other in different distributed projects will be improved and the results of the works will be published and saved. A well structured and an easy to handle portal is necessary therefore, as many connected institutions are not familiar with technological businesses. Further aims of the VRC are avoiding redundant developments to report excellent research facilities for the different subjects and to dynamically list the running projects in selectable categories. The technical base for the portal is a web content management system (WCMS), provided with many increments. To detect a suitable WCMS, the systems Plone, TYPO3 and Xoops are compared by a value benefit analyses. The special requirements for the VCR are fulfilled by the development and integration of increments, which include and provide the administration of publications, the overview of projects and research areas, etc. using an actual Web 2.0 functionality. This thesis is based on two different research methods, where the basic method design research is. Design research describes a compendium of how a portal can be modeled and realized in five phases. Another used method is the hypertext design model, which is used to build a model of the VRC. In the description of the implementation the changes in the WCMS, the user administration and the access control are explained as a guideline. In the conclusion of the thesis, an overview over the challenges and a recommendation for further developments and potential work is shown.
Within the scope of this bachelor thesis, a survey targeting the alumni of the Department 4: Computer Science of the University of Koblenz-Landau was planned, realized and evaluated. The goal was to support the Task Force Bachelor Master that was in charge of the re-accreditation process of the study courses. At first, the theoretical fundament of the survey design was acquired via desk research. Moreover, the analysis of past surveys of similar character lead to getting an impression of the requirements. Under consideration of recent changes, a survey prototype was created and improved following the insights from a pre-test. Using the open source tool LimeSurvey, the final version was implemented. The platform was used as the technical basis of the survey. The recipients included members of alumni clubs as well as recent alumni from the last years.
The survey lead to insights about the satisfaction of the alumni with their study course and the study situation in general. Furthermore, the opinion regarding two new master courses, E-Government and Web Science, was requested. The feedback from four of the study courses was enough to give significant results, for the other five courses it was only possible to interpret the general statements. All in all, there was a high rate of satisfaction with the studies.
Additionally, it was possible to collect suggestions for improvements and criticism. The main topics were internationality, emphasis on study topics, freedom of choice/specialization and relevancy to practice. As a result of the survey, a recommendation was verbalized, that should lead to an improvement in quality and need of the teaching in the Department 4: Computer Science in combination with the detailed results.
Especially e-government projects have a complex stakeholder structure: governments, businesses, non-profits and private stakeholders in different forms and roles are involved or affected by e-government projects. Consequently, the success of ICT projects critically depends on the integration of different stakeholder groups in the design processes of e-government solutions. In this context, stakeholder participation is sought therefore useful initiatives like open government and good governance drive this process forward. Although it is important to analyze the objectives, expectations and power characteristics of project participants and project stakeholders, the determinations of the stakeholder groups through a so called stakeholder analysis are insufficiently methodically developed.
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to pick up the stakeholder theories, stakeholder participation theories, stakeholder analysis and transfer it to an administrative level as well as to check their applicability. This will be done by explaining and systematizing appropriate procedures for the classification and mapping of stakeholder groups, through well-known stakeholder theories of Freeman, Mitchel and Rowley. In order to generate recommendations for future e-government projects, the application of stakeholder theories in two e-government projects with stakeholder involvement will be reviewed. It is also important to work out how stakeholder groups can be actively involved in the developmental processes in concrete e-government projects by using Web 2.0 possibilities. The role of Web 2.0 applications as an additional channel of communication and participation tool will be presented and evaluated.
The result is a guide, which supports successful participation of stakeholders in projects, by analyzing the process for stakeholder identification, stakeholder grouping and prioritization and showing instructions and benefits for using Web 2.0.
Die wesentliche Zielsetzung der Bachelor-Arbeit war es, entlang der Anforderungen an DMS/WMS aus dem DOMEA-Konzept und aus dem Kommunalen Gebietsrechenzentrum Koblenz (KGRZ) verschiedene Systeme zu evaluieren. Weiteres Ziel war es, ein System, das die Anforderungen am besten erfüllt, zu identifizieren. Entlang der Evaluation wurde exemplarisch der Workflow des KGRZ untersucht, bewertet und ggf. angepasst. Des Weiteren wurde auf die Frage eingegangen, ob ein einheitliches System im Rahmen des Föderalismus nicht nur in Koblenz sondern auch Rheinland-Pfalz weit eingesetzt werden kann, oder ob ämterspezifische Lösungen vorteilhafter sind.
Social media provides a powerful way for people to share opinions and sentiments about a specific topic, allowing others to benefit from these thoughts and feelings. This procedure generates a huge amount of unstructured data, such as texts, images, and references that are constantly increasing through daily comments to related discussions. However, the vast amount of unstructured data presents risks to the information-extraction process, and so decision making becomes highly challenging. This is because data overload may cause the loss of useful data due to its inappropriate presentation and its accumulation. To this extent, this thesis contributed to the field of analyzing and detecting feelings in images and texts. And that by extracting the feelings and opinions hidden in a huge collection of image data and texts on social networks After that, these feelings are classified into positive, negative, or neutral, according to the features of the classified data. The process of extracting these feelings greatly helps in decision-making processes on various topics as will be explained in the first chapter of the thesis. A system has been built that can classify the feelings inherent in the images and texts on social media sites, such as people’s opinions about products and companies, personal posts, and general messages. This thesis begins by introducing a new method of reducing the dimension of text data based on data-mining approaches and then examines the sentiment based on neural and deep neural network classification algorithms. Subsequently, in contrast to sentiment analysis research in text datasets, we examine sentiment expression and polarity classification within and across image datasets by building deep neural networks based on the attention mechanism.
The aim of this diploma thesis is to analyse the actual business architecture at the administration of the university Koblenz-Landau. Another subject matter of the article focuses on the existing application architecture. This architecture is necessary to support the employees work. The Enterprise Architecture will be described by models. They are an important instrument for the exchange of information between different stakeholders. Actual research projects from different universities are represented at the beginning of this elaboration. Subsequent to this, important enterprise architecture frameworks and methods for archiving the tasks are introduced. The concept for the analysis is represented at the outset of the empirical part. After that, a description of the as-is architecture follows. The actual state is modelled by process maps, planning schemes, data flow graphics and a process model. In the next step, an evaluation and identification of weak points is done. Different recommendations to improve the use of information technology at the administration are presented at the end of this degree dissertation. An existing cross-functional process will be analysed, modelled and evaluated. It- about the registration and authorization of projects supported by third-party funds. Finally, a prototype is introduced. The advantages and functionalities of a new system can be shown with this first model. Notices about the next steps, a conclusion and an outlook conclude the work.
Public electronic procurement (eProcurement), here electronic sourcing (eSourcing) in particular, is almost certainly on the agenda when eGovernment experts meet. Not surprisingly is eProcurement the first high-impact service to be addressed in the European Union- recent Action Plan. This is mainly dedicated to the fact that public procurement makes out almost 20% of Europe- GDP and therefore holds a huge saving potential. To some extent this potential lies in the common European market, since effective cross-boarder eSourcing solutions can open many doors, both for buyers and suppliers. To achieve this, systems and processes and tools, need to be adoptable, transferable as well as be able to communicate with each other. In one word, they need to be interoperable. In many relevant domains, interoperability has reached a very positive level, standards have been established, workflows been put in place. In other domains however, there is still a long road ahead. As a consequence it is crucial to define requirements for such interoperable eSourcing systems and to identify the progress in research and practice.
Concept for a Knowledge Base on ICT for Governance and Policy Modelling regarding eGovPoliNet
(2013)
Abstract The EU project eGovPoliNet is engaged in research and development in the field of information and communication technologies (ICT) for governance and policy modelling. Numerous communities pursue similar goals in this field of IT-based, strategic decision making and simulation of social problem areas. Though, the existing research approaches and results so far are quite fragmented. The aim of eGovPoliNet is to overcome the fragmentation across disciplines and to establish an international, open dialogue by fostering the cooperation between research and practice. This dialogue will advance the discussion and development of various problem areas with the help of researchers from different disciplines, who share knowledge, expertise and best practice supporting policy analysis, modelling and governance. To support this dialogue, eGovPoliNet will provide a knowledge base, which's conceptual development is the subject of this thesis. The knowledge base is to be filled with content from the area of ICT for strategic decision making and social simulation, such as publications, ICT solutions and project descriptions. This content needs to be structured, organised and managed in a way, so that it generates added value and the knowledge base is used as source of accumulated knowledge, which consolidates the previously fragmented research and development results in a central location.
The aim of this thesis is the development of a concept for a knowledge base, which provides the structure and the necessary functionalities to gather and process knowledge concerning ICT solutions for governance and policy modelling. This knowledge needs to be made available to users and thereby motivate them to contribute to the development and maintenance of the knowledge base.

Anhand dieser Grundlage und einer Anforderungserhebung unter den beteiligten Stakeholdern wird ein Soll-Konzept erarbeitet, welches zu Verbesserungen der allgemeinen Organisation und des Informationsflusses führen soll. Abschließend wird eine Handlungsempfehlung für das weitere Vorgehen ausgesprochen.
The internet is becoming more and more important in daily life. Fundamental changes can be observed in the private sector as well as in the public sector. In the course of this, active involvement of citizens in planning political procedures is more and more supported electronically. The expectations culminate in the assumption that information and communication technology (ICT) can enhance civic participation and reduce disenchantment with politics. Out of these expectations, a lot of eparticipation projects were initiated in Germany. Initiatives were established, e.g. the "Initiative eParticipation", which gave many incentives of electronic participation for policy and administration in order to strengthen decision-making processes with internet supported participation practices. This thesis consists of two major parts. In the first part, definitions of the essential terms are presented. The position of e-participation within the dimension of ebusiness is pointed out. In order to explain e-participation, basics of the classical offline participation are delivered. It will be shown that a change is in progress, not only because of the deployment of ICT. Subsequently, a framework to characterize eparticipation is presented. The European Union is encouraging the implementation of e-participation. So, the city of Koblenz should be no exception. But what is the current situation in Koblenz? To provide an answer to this question, the status quo was examined with the help of a survey among the citizens of Koblenz, which was developed, conducted and evaluated. This is the second major part of this thesis.
