Vortragsfolien eines auf dem SAP ABAP-Jahrestreffen 20.-22.9.1995 in Ottrott/Elsaß gehaltenen Vortrags. - Zusammenfassung: Unter Pointer Swizzling versteht man eine Technik, persistente Zeiger in Datenbeständen zur Laufzeit so geschickt durch Hauptspeicherzeiger zu ersetzen, dass schnelles Durchlaufen komplexer Objektstrukturen möglich wird. Den Begriff umgibt ein Hauch von „Magie“, vielleicht auch wegen der Geheimniskrämerei, mit der eine Firma diese Technik in ihrem Datenbankprodukt umgibt. Der Vortrag soll zeigen, dass die Grundprinzipien des Pointer Swizzling eigentlich sehr einfach sind. Andererseits gibt es eine erstaunliche Vielfalt von recht unterschiedlichen Spielarten, was eine sachliche Diskussion über das Konzept und die Vor- und Nachteile erschwert. An einem durchgängigen Beispiel wird die Umsetzung in eine eigene Anwendung veranschaulicht, wobei - wie im Softwaregeschäft üblich - einige gut getarnte Fallgruben auf den Implementierer warten.

Vortragsfolien eines im Mai 1999 auf einem Datenbankseminar (intern) gehaltenen Vortrags. Zusammenfassung: Der Vortrag fasst anschaulich einige der Themen zusammen, an denen das FG Datenbanken/Interaktive Systeme um das Jahr 2000 (und einige Jahre davor und danach) gearbeitet hat: Navigieren und Editieren von NF2-Tabellen mit dem DB-Editor ESCHER, das Fingerkonzept, Focus/Nimbus-Fragen, erweiterte Transaktionskonzepte für datenbankgestützte synchrone Gruppenarbeit. Die im Ausblick aufgestellte These, wonach visuelle Transaktionen ein attraktives Forschungsthema bleiben, dürfte auch heute noch gelten, zumal die Herausforderungen mobiler Geräte und neuer Interaktionsformen in den letzten Jahren hinzugekommen sind.

Presentation at the 1997 Dagstuhl Seminar "Evaluation of Multimedia Information Retrieval", Norbert Fuhr, Keith van Rijsbergen, Alan F. Smeaton (eds.), Dagstuhl Seminar Report 175, 14.04. - 18.04.97 (9716). - Abstract: This presentation will introduce ESCHER, a database editor which supports visualization in non-standard applications in engineering, science, tourism and the entertainment industry. It was originally based on the extended nested relational data model and is currently extended to include object-relational properties like inheritance, object types, integrity constraints and methods. It serves as a research platform into areas such as multimedia and visual information systems, QBE-like queries, computer-supported concurrent work (CSCW) and novel storage techniques. In its role as a Visual Information System, a database editor must support browsing and navigation. ESCHER provides this access to data by means of so called fingers. They generalize the cursor paradigm in graphical and text editors. On the graphical display, a finger is reflected by a colored area which corresponds to the object a finger is currently pointing at. In a table more than one finger may point to objects, one of which is the active finger and is used for navigating through the table. The talk will mostly concentrate on giving examples for this type of navigation and will discuss some of the architectural needs for fast object traversal and display. ESCHER is available as public domain software from our ftp site in Kassel. The portable C source can be easily compiled for any machine running UNIX and OSF/Motif, in particular our working environments IBM RS/6000 and Intel-based LINUX systems. A porting to Tcl/Tk is under way.

Vortrag beim Treffen Lions Club Kassel Brüder Grimm am 20. August 1999. In der Zeit vor der Jahrtausendwende gab es Bedenken, dass größere Probleme durch die übliche Darstellung der Jahresangabe mit nur zwei Ziffern entstehen würden, weil Rechner nicht zwischen 1900 und 2000 unterscheiden könnten. Als Beispiel genannt wurden Fahrstühle, die seit 100 Jahren nicht mehr gewartet wurden und daher stehenbleiben. Tatsächlich ist dann sehr wenig passiert, ob wegen der lebhaften Diskussion vorher oder nicht, ist umstritten. Der Vortrag betrachtet sehr gründlich die technischen Probleme, die sich mit der Zeitdarstellung auf Rechnern ergeben.

Despite its young history, Computer Science Education has seen a number of "revolutions". Being a veteran in the field, the author reflects on the many changes he has seen in computing and its teaching. The intent of this personal collection is to point out that most revolutions came unforeseen and that many of the new learning initiatives, despite high financial input, ultimately failed. The author then considers the current revolution (MOOC, inverted lectures, peer instruction, game design) and, based on the lessons learned earlier, argues why video recording is so successful. Given the fact that this is the decade we lost print (papers, printed books, book shops, libraries), the author then conjectures that the impact of the Internet will make this revolution different from previous ones in that most of the changes are irreversible. As a consequence he warns against storming ahead blindly and suggests to conserve - while it is still possible - valuable components of what might soon be called the antebellum age of education.

In der algebraischen Kryptoanalyse werden moderne Kryptosysteme als polynomielle, nichtlineare Gleichungssysteme dargestellt. Das Lösen solcher Gleichungssysteme ist NP-hart. Es gibt also keinen Algorithmus, der in polynomieller Zeit ein beliebiges nichtlineares Gleichungssystem löst. Dennoch kann man aus modernen Kryptosystemen Gleichungssysteme mit viel Struktur generieren. So sind diese Gleichungssysteme bei geeigneter Modellierung quadratisch und dünn besetzt, damit nicht beliebig. Dafür gibt es spezielle Algorithmen, die eine Lösung solcher Gleichungssysteme finden. Ein Beispiel dafür ist der ElimLin-Algorithmus, der mit Hilfe von linearen Gleichungen das Gleichungssystem iterativ vereinfacht. In der Dissertation wird auf Basis dieses Algorithmus ein neuer Solver für quadratische, dünn besetzte Gleichungssysteme vorgestellt und damit zwei symmetrische Kryptosysteme angegriffen. Dabei sind die Techniken zur Modellierung der Chiffren von entscheidender Bedeutung, so das neue Techniken entwickelt werden, um Kryptosysteme darzustellen. Die Idee für das Modell kommt von Cube-Angriffen. Diese Angriffe sind besonders wirksam gegen Stromchiffren. In der Arbeit werden unterschiedliche Varianten klassifiziert und mögliche Erweiterungen vorgestellt. Das entstandene Modell hingegen, lässt sich auch erfolgreich auf Blockchiffren und auch auf andere Szenarien erweitern. Bei diesen Änderungen muss das Modell nur geringfügig geändert werden.

Web services from different partners can be combined to applications that realize a more complex business goal. Such applications built as Web service compositions define how interactions between Web services take place in order to implement the business logic. Web service compositions not only have to provide the desired functionality but also have to comply with certain Quality of Service (QoS) levels. Maximizing the users' satisfaction, also reflected as Quality of Experience (QoE), is a primary goal to be achieved in a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). Unfortunately, in a dynamic environment like SOA unforeseen situations might appear like services not being available or not responding in the desired time frame. In such situations, appropriate actions need to be triggered in order to avoid the violation of QoS and QoE constraints. In this thesis, proper solutions are developed to manage Web services and Web service compositions with regard to QoS and QoE requirements. The Business Process Rules Language (BPRules) was developed to manage Web service compositions when undesired QoS or QoE values are detected. BPRules provides a rich set of management actions that may be triggered for controlling the service composition and for improving its quality behavior. Regarding the quality properties, BPRules allows to distinguish between the QoS values as they are promised by the service providers, QoE values that were assigned by end-users, the monitored QoS as measured by our BPR framework, and the predicted QoS and QoE values. BPRules facilitates the specification of certain user groups characterized by different context properties and allows triggering a personalized, context-aware service selection tailored for the specified user groups. In a service market where a multitude of services with the same functionality and different quality values are available, the right services need to be selected for realizing the service composition. We developed new and efficient heuristic algorithms that are applied to choose high quality services for the composition. BPRules offers the possibility to integrate multiple service selection algorithms. The selection algorithms are applicable also for non-linear objective functions and constraints. The BPR framework includes new approaches for context-aware service selection and quality property predictions. We consider the location information of users and services as context dimension for the prediction of response time and throughput. The BPR framework combines all new features and contributions to a comprehensive management solution. Furthermore, it facilitates flexible monitoring of QoS properties without having to modify the description of the service composition. We show how the different modules of the BPR framework work together in order to execute the management rules. We evaluate how our selection algorithms outperform a genetic algorithm from related research. The evaluation reveals how context data can be used for a personalized prediction of response time and throughput.

Almost everyone sketches. People use sketches day in and day out in many different and heterogeneous fields, to share their thoughts and clarify ambiguous interpretations, for example. The media used to sketch varies from analog tools like flipcharts to digital tools like smartboards. Whereas analog tools are usually affected by insufficient editing capabilities like cut/copy/paste, digital tools greatly support these scenarios. Digital tools can be grouped into informal and formal tools. Informal tools can be understood as simple drawing environments, whereas formal tools offer sophisticated support to create, optimize and validate diagrams of a certain application domain. Most digital formal tools force users to stick to a concrete syntax and editing workflow, limiting the user’s creativity. For that reason, a lot of people first sketch their ideas using the flexibility of analog or digital informal tools. Subsequently, the sketch is "portrayed" in an appropriate digital formal tool. This work presents Scribble, a highly configurable and extensible sketching framework which allows to dynamically inject sketching features into existing graphical diagram editors, based on Eclipse GEF. This allows to combine the flexibility of informal tools with the power of formal tools without any effort. No additional code is required to augment a GEF editor with sophisticated sketching features. Scribble recognizes drawn elements as well as handwritten text and automatically generates the corresponding domain elements. A local training data library is created dynamically by incrementally learning shapes, drawn by the user. Training data can be shared with others using the WebScribble web application which has been created as part of this work.
