In this paper, we describe an interdisciplinary project in which visualization techniques were developed for and applied to scholarly work from literary studies. The aim was to bring Christof Schöch's electronic edition of Bérardier de Bataut's Essai sur le récit (1776) to the web. This edition is based on the Text Encoding Initiative's XML-based encoding scheme (TEI P5, subset TEI-Lite). This now de facto standard applies to machine-readable texts used chiefly in the humanities and social sciences. The intention of this edition is to make the edited text freely available on the web, to allow for alternative text views (here original and modern/corrected text), to ensure reader-friendly annotation and navigation, to permit on-line collaboration in encoding and annotation as well as user comments, all in an open source, generically usable, lightweight package. These aims were attained by relying on a GPL-based, public domain CMS (Drupal) and combining it with XSL-Stylesheets and Java Script.

Fujaba is an Open Source UML CASE tool project started at the software engineering group of Paderborn University in 1997. In 2002 Fujaba has been redesigned and became the Fujaba Tool Suite with a plug-in architecture allowing developers to add functionality easily while retaining full control over their contributions. Multiple Application Domains Fujaba followed the model-driven development philosophy right from its beginning in 1997. At the early days, Fujaba had a special focus on code generation from UML diagrams resulting in a visual programming language with a special emphasis on object structure manipulating rules. Today, at least six rather independent tool versions are under development in Paderborn, Kassel, and Darmstadt for supporting (1) reengineering, (2) embedded real-time systems, (3) education, (4) specification of distributed control systems, (5) integration with the ECLIPSE platform, and (6) MOF-based integration of system (re-) engineering tools. International Community According to our knowledge, quite a number of research groups have also chosen Fujaba as a platform for UML and MDA related research activities. In addition, quite a number of Fujaba users send requests for more functionality and extensions. Therefore, the 8th International Fujaba Days aimed at bringing together Fujaba develop- ers and Fujaba users from all over the world to present their ideas and projects and to discuss them with each other and with the Fujaba core development team.

Accurate data of the natural conditions and agricultural systems with a good spatial resolution are a key factor to tackle food insecurity in developing countries. A broad variety of approaches exists to achieve precise data and information about agriculture. One system, especially developed for smallholder agriculture in East Africa, is the Farm Management Handbook of Kenya. It was first published in 1982/83 and fully revised in 2012, now containing 7 volumes. The handbooks contain detailed information on climate, soils, suitable crops and soil care based on scientific research results of the last 30 years. The density of facts leads to time consuming extraction of all necessary information. In this study we analyse the user needs and necessary components of a system for decision support for smallholder farming in Kenya based on a geographical information system (GIS). Required data sources were identified, as well as essential functions of the system. We analysed the results of our survey conducted in 2012 and early 2013 among agricultural officers. The monitoring of user needs and the problem of non-adaptability of an agricultural information system on the level of extension officers in Kenya are the central objectives. The outcomes of the survey suggest the establishment of a decision support tool based on already available open source GIS components. The system should include functionalities to show general information for a specific location and should provide precise recommendations about suitable crops and management options to support agricultural guidance on farm level.

Das hier frei verfügbare Skript gehört zu einer gleichnamigen Vorlesung, die von Prof. Dr. Lutz Wegner bis zum Wintersemester 1998/99 am damaligen Fachbereich 17 Mathematik/Informatik der Universität Kassel gehalten wurde. Thema ist die Einführung in die Programmierung, wie sie am Anfang fast aller Informatik-, Mathematik- und verwandter Ingenieurstudiengänge steht. Hier erfolgt die Einführung mit der Programmiersprache Pascal, die Niklaus Wirth (ehemals ETH Zürich) bereits 1968 entwickelte. Sie gilt als letzte Vertreterin der rein prozeduralen Sprachen und führt in der Regel zu sauber strukturierten Programmen. In der damals auf PCs weit verbreiteten Turbo Pascal Variante geht es auch um Objektorientierung, die charakteristisch für das heutige Programmierparadigma mit Java ist. Alte (und neu geschriebene) Pascal-Programme lassen sich problemlos mit den Free Pascal Open Source Compilern (www.freepascal.org) übersetzen und unter allen gängigen Betriebssystemen zur Ausführung bringen. Wer hierfür eine fachlich präzise und trotzdem vergleichsweise gut lesbare Einführung mit Hinweisen auf guten und schlechten Programmierstil braucht, wird hier fündig und kommt über den Stickwortindex am Ende auch schnell zu Einzelthemen wie Parameterübergabe oder das Arbeiten mit Pointern.
