Graph-based data formats are flexible in representing data. In particular semantic data models, where the schema is part of the data, gained traction and commercial success in recent years. Semantic data models are also the basis for the Semantic Web - a Web of data governed by open standards in which computer programs can freely access the provided data. This thesis is concerned with the correctness of programs that access semantic data. While the flexibility of semantic data models is one of their biggest strengths, it can easily lead to programmers accidentally not accounting for unintuitive edge cases. Often, such exceptions surface during program execution as run-time errors or unintended side-effects. Depending on the exact condition, a program may run for a long time before the error occurs and the program crashes.
This thesis defines type systems that can detect and avoid such run-time errors based on schema languages available for the Semantic Web. In particular, this thesis uses the Web Ontology Language (OWL) and its theoretic underpinnings, i.e., description logics, as well as the Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL) to define type systems that provide type-safe data access to semantic data graphs. Providing a safe type system is an established methodology for proving the absence of run-time errors in programs without requiring execution. Both schema languages are based on possible world semantics but differ in the treatment of incomplete knowledge. While OWL allows for modelling incomplete knowledge through an open-world semantics, SHACL relies on a fixed domain and closed-world semantics. We provide the formal underpinnings for type systems based on each of the two schema languages. In particular, we base our notion of types on sets of values which allows us to specify a subtype relation based on subset semantics. In case of description logics, subsumption is a routine problem. For
the type system based on SHACL, we are able to translate it into a description
logic subsumption problem.
UML models and OWL ontologies constitute modeling approaches with different strength and weaknesses that make them appropriate for use of specifying different aspects of software systems. In particular, OWL ontologies are well suited to specify classes using an expressive logical language with highly flexible, dynamic and polymorphic class membership, while UML diagrams are much more suitable for specifying not only static models including classes and associations, but also dynamic behavior. Though MOF based metamodels and UML profiles for OWL have been proposed in the past, an integrated use of both modeling approaches in a coherent framework has been lacking so far. We present such a framework, TwoUse, for developing integrated models, comprising the benefits of UML models and OWL ontologies
Tractography on HARDI data
(2011)
Diffusionsgewichtete Bildgebung ist eine wichtige Modalität in der klinischen Praxis. Sie stellt gegenwärtig die einzige Möglichkeit dar, nicht invasiv und in vivo Einblicke in das menschliche Gehirn zu erhalten. Die Einsatzgebiete dieser Technik sind sehr vielseitig. Sie wird zur Untersuchung des Gehirns, seiner Struktur, seiner Entwicklung und der Funktionsweisenseiner verschiedenen Areale einsetzt. Weiterhin spielt diese Modalität eine wichtige Rolle bei der Operationsplanung am Gehirn und der Untersuchung von Schlaganfall, Alzheimer und Multipler Sklerose. Diese Arbeit gibt eine kurze Einführung in die Bildgebungmittels MRT und geht auf die Entstehung diffusionsgewichtete Bilder ein. Darauf aufbauend wird der Diffusionstensor, die am meisten verbreitete Datenrepräsentation in der Diffusionsbildgebung, vorgestellt. Da die Repräsentation der Diffusion als Diffusionstensor erhebliche Einschränkungen darstellt, werden neue Methoden zur Datenrepräsentation vorgestellt und diskutiert. Diese neuen Methoden werden unter dem Begriff HARDI (Diffusionsbildgebung mit hoher Winkelauflösung, von engl. high angular resolution diffusion imaging) zusammengefasst. Weiterhin wird eine ausführliche Einführung in das Thema der Traktografie, der Rekonstruktion von Nervenbahnen im Gehirn, gegeben. Basierend auf diesem theoretischenWissen werden etablierte Algorithmen der Traktografie von Diffusionstensor- auf HARDI-Daten überführt. Dadurch wird die Rekonstruktion derNervenbahnen entscheidend verbessert. Es wird eine vollständig neue Methode vorgestellt, die in der Lage ist, Nervenbahnen sowohl auf einem Phantomdatensatz, als auch auf einem vom Menschen stammenden Gehirndatensatz zu rekonstruieren. Weiterhin wird ein neuartiger globaler Ansatz vorgestellt, um Voxel anhand ihrer Diffusionseigenschaften zu klassifizieren.
Towards Improving the Understanding of Image Semantics by Gaze-based Tag-to-Region Assignments
(2011)
Eye-trackers have been used in the past to identify visual foci in images, find task-related image regions, or localize affective regions in images. However, they have not been used for identifying specific objects in images. In this paper, we investigate whether it is possible to assign image regions showing specific objects with tags describing these objects by analyzing the users' gaze paths. To this end, we have conducted an experiment with 20 subjects viewing 50 image-tag-pairs each. We have compared the tag-to-region assignments for nine existing and four new fixation measures. In addition, we have investigated the impact of extending region boundaries, weighting small image regions, and the number of subjects viewing the images. The paper shows that a tag-to-region assignment with an accuracy of 67% can be achieved by using gaze information. In addition, we show that multiple regions on the same image can be differentiated with an accuracy of 38%.
The paper is devoted to solving the problem of assessing the quality of the medical electronic service. A variety of dimensions and factors of quality, methods and models applied in different scopes of activity for assessing quality of service is researched. The basic aspects, requirements and peculiarities of implementing medical electronic services are investigated. The results of the analysis and the set of information models describing the processes of assessing quality of the electronic service "Booking an appointment with a physician" and developed for this paper allowed us to describe the methodology and to state the problem of the assessment of quality of this service.
Current political issues are often reflected in social media discussions, gathering politicians and voters on common platforms. As these can affect the public perception of politics, the inner dynamics and backgrounds of such debates are of great scientific interest. This thesis takes user generated messages from an up-to-date dataset of considerable relevance as Time Series, and applies a topic-based analysis of inspiration and agenda setting to it. The Institute for Web Science and Technologies of the University Koblenz-Landau has collected Twitter data generated beforehand by candidates of the European Parliament Election 2019. This work processes and analyzes the dataset for various properties, while focusing on the influence of politicians and media on online debates. An algorithm to cluster tweets into topical threads is introduced. Subsequently, Sequential Association Rules are mined, yielding wide array of potential influence relations between both actors and topics. The elaborated methodology can be configured with different parameters and is extensible in functionality and scope of application.
The STOR project aims at the development of a scientific component system employing models and knowledge for object recognition in images. This interim report elaborates on the requirements for such a component system, structures the application area by identifying a large set of basic operations, and shows how a set of appropriate data structures and components can be derived. A small case studies exemplifies the approach.
Dualizing marked Petri nets results in tokens for transitions (t-tokens). A marked transition can strictly not be enabled, even if there are sufficient "enabling" tokens (p-tokens) on its input places. On the other hand, t-tokens can be moved by the firing of places. This permits flows of t-tokens which describe sequences of non-events. Their benefiit to simulation is the possibility to model (and observe) causes and effects of non-events, e.g. if something is broken down.
Die folgende Arbeit analysiert die Funktionsweise und Programmiermöglichkeiten von Compute Shadern. Dafür wird zunächst in Kapitel 2 eine Einführung in Compute Shader gegeben, in der gezeigt wird, wie diese funktionieren und wie sie programmiert werden können. Zusätzlich wird das Zusammenspiel von Compute Shadern und OpenGL 4.3 anhand zweier einführender Beispiele gezeigt. Kapitel 3 beschreibt dann eine N-Körper Simulation, welche implementiert wurde um die Rechenleistung von Compute Shadern und den Einsatz von gemeinsamen Speicher zu zeigen. Danach wird in Kapitel 4 gezeigt, inwiefern sich Compute Shader für physikalische Simulationen eignen und wo Probleme auftauchen können. In Kapitel 5 wird ein eigens konzipierter und entwickelter Algorithmus zur Erkennung von Linien in Bildern beschrieben und anschließend mit der Hough Transformation verglichen. Zuletzt wird in Kapitel 6 ein abschließendes Fazit gezogen.
