- ZeitschriftenartikelBuilding Transformation Networks for Consistent Evolution of Interrelated Models(Softwaretechnik-Trends Band 42, Heft 2, 2022) Klare, HeikoIn model-driven development, models and constitute central units of the development process, from which also parts of the program code can be derived. A common means to preserve consistency between models are transformations, which adapt the other models after one of them was changed. Existing research is focused on bidirectional transformations that preserve consistency between pairs of models. Actual software systems are, however, usually described with more than two models, and the languages used to specify them vary between projects. In this thesis, we research how developers can combine multiple transformations to a network that is able to execute these transformations in an order such that all resulting models are consistent. We consider the problem from a software engineer’s perspective and make the central assumption that each transformation between two languages is developed independently and that the transformations are not and cannot be aligned with each other, in order to support independent development and reuse. We base mathematically founded as well as empirical considerations from case studies on these assumptions. Our contributions are separated into those concerning the correctness and those concerning the optimization of quality properties of such a combination of transformations to a network.
- KonferenzbeitragBusiness Technologies - A Modeling Centered, Application Oriented Course(Modellierung 2022 Satellite Events, 2022) Mayr, Heinrich C.; Shekhovtsov, Volodymyr A.In this paper, we present the course "Business Technologies", which we offer at Alpen-Adria-Universität for students of the master’s programs in Informatics and Information Systems to introduce them to the exciting world of modeling. It is a combination of lecture and project work that has been offered regularly since 2013, with the content being adapted and updated every year. We intend this paper to stimulate discussion of modeling as an important component of Informatics teaching. Accordingly, not all our theses are scientifically substantiated; rather, some of them are intentionally formulated in a somewhat pointed way to provoke the discussion.
- KonferenzbeitragEngineering A Reliable Prompt For Generating Unit Tests - Prompt engineering for QA & QA for prompt engineering(Softwaretechnik-Trends Band 43, Heft 3, 2023) Faragó, DavidThis paper demonstrates Prompt Engineering (PE) on a running example: generating unit test cases for a given function. By iter atively adding further prompt patterns and measuring the robustness, correctness, and comprehensiveness of the AI’s output, multiple prompt patterns and their purpose and strength are investigated. We conclude that high robustness, correctness, and comprehensiveness is hard to achieve, and many prompt patterns (single prompt as well as patterns that span over a conversation) are necessary. More generally, quality assurance is a dominant part of PE and closely intertwined with the development part of PE. Thus traditional testing processes and stages do not adequately apply to QA for PE, and we suggest a PE process that covers the development and quality assurance of prompts as alternative.
- KonferenzbeitragFingermark Quality Assessment: An Open-Source Toolbox(BIOSIG 2021 - Proceedings of the 20th International Conference of the Biometrics Special Interest Group, 2021) Oblak, Tim; Haraksim, Rudolf; Beslay, Laurent; Peer, PeterFingermark quality assessment is an important step in a forensic fingerprint identification process. Often done in the scope of criminal investigation, it is performed by trained fingerprint examiners whose quality assessment can be rather subjective. The goal of this work is to develop an automated fingermark quality assessment tool, which would assist the fingermark examiners in their work. In this paper, we present a fast, open-source, and well documented fingermark quality assessment toolbox, which contains more than 20 algorithms for feature extraction, segmentation, and enhancement of fingermark images. We demonstrate the utility of the toolbox by assembling a feature vector and training various baseline machine learning models, capable of predicting the quality of fingermark images with high accuracy.
- ZeitschriftenartikelObjektorientierte Entwurfsmuster und Frameworks in der Informatik-Ausbildung an der Fachhochschule Konstanz(Informatik-Spektrum: Vol. 20, No. 6, 1997) Schmid, Hans AlbrechtIn den letzten Jahren wurden zwei Konzepte entwickelt, welche die Wiederverwendung von Entwurfserfahrung erlauben. Dies sind zum einen Entwurfsmuster, welche lokale, sich jeweils auf wenige Klassen beziehende Entwurfserfahrung zur Wiederverwendung durch andere Entwickler verfügbar machen, zum anderen Frameworks. Diese erlauben die Wiederverwendung einer globalen Art von Entwurfserfahrung, welche wesentliche Aspekte einer Anwendung umfaßt. Dieser Artikel erläutert Erfahrungen mit Entwurfsmustern bei der Frameworkentwicklung. An einem Beispielprojekt erläutert er die erfolgreiche Arbeit von Studenten mit diesen Methoden. Das Ergebnis ermuntert zur Aufnahme entsprechender Methoden in die Informatiker-Ausbildung.Summary Design patterns and frameworks, two quite new concepts, allow the reuse of design and of individual design experience. A design pattern embodies local design experience that is related to a few classes, whereas a framework embodies a global kind of experience that covers essential aspects of an application. This article describes experiences with these advanced object-oriented concepts in computer-science education. Concrete examples from projects show how design patterns were successfully used by inexperienced students for designing parts of frameworks. The very positive experiences strongly encourage the inclusion of design patterns and frameworks into computer science education.
- KonferenzbeitragUsing a Hardware Simulation for Automatic Software Performance Model Parameterization(Softwaretechnik-Trends Band 43, Heft 2, 2023) Weber, SebastianWhile the fulfilment of functional requirements during software re-engineering or maintenance can likely be monitored with existing test cases, checking whether quality requirements (e.g. performance) are still satisfied requires additional effort. A developer would have to either measure the target system or analyse it based on models. The precise parameterization of these models is usually based on measurements which require an executable software and the target hard ware. This paper proposes an approach to use hardware simulations for the automatic parameterization of performance models to remove the need for the target hardware. The results show that the accuracy of the hardware simulation for the chosen hardware re quires improvements, if these results are intended to replace measurements. Nevertheless they show the applicability of the approach.
- KonferenzbeitragWeaving Space into the Web of Trust: An Asymmetric Spatial Trust Model for Social Networks(The Social Semantic Web 2007 – Proceedings of the 1st Conference on Social Semantic Web (CSSW), 2007) Bishr, MohamedThe proliferation of Geo-Information (GI) production in web-based collaboration environments such as mapping mashups built on top of mapping APIs such as GoogleMaps API poses new challenges to GI Science. In this environment, millions of users are not only consumers of GI but they are also producers. A major challenge is how to manage this huge flow of information and identify high value contributions while discarding others. The social nature of the collaborative approaches to GI provides the inspiration for innovative solutions. In this paper, we propose a novel spatial trust model for social networks. This model is part of our research to formalize the spatio-temporal regularities of trust in social networks. The presented model provides a metric for trust as a proxy for GI quality to assess the value of collaborative contributions. We also introduce the underlying network for the model, which is a hybrid network structure for collaborative GI applications based on affiliation networks and one-mood continuous trust networks. Trust calculation in the affiliation network takes into account the geographic distance between the actors and their information contributions –also known as events–, while the one-mood network does not. This leads to an asymmetric model with respect to the representation of space.
