Prozesse in Industriebetrieben mittels Low-Code-Software digitalisieren: Ein Praxisleitfaden (Intelligente Technische Systeme – Lösungen aus dem Spitzencluster it’s OWL)

In vielen Unternehmen besteht ein steigender Bedarf an betriebsspezifisch gestalteten Softwareanwendungen, um Geschäftsprozesse zu digitalisieren und zu optimieren. Derzeit sind vor allem IT-Fachkräfte gefordert, diese Anwendungen zu entwickeln. Da in Betrieben vielfach ein Mangel an IT-Fachkräften besteht, ist diese Vorgehensweise zumeist mit langen Bereitstellungszeiten verbunden. Durch die Nutzung der Low-Code-Programmierung ist es hingegen möglich, Softwareanwendungen ohne tiefe Programmierkenntnisse mittels einer grafischen Benutzeroberfläche zu erstellen. Der Vorteil: Es können passgenaue Lösungen in kurzer Zeit entwickelt werden, indem sich Beschäftigte aus Fachabteilungen mit ihrem Expertenwissen direkt an der Softwareentwicklung beteiligen. Allerdings fehlt es in vielen Betrieben an Wissen zu den Anwendungsmöglichkeiten und -grenzen dieser Art der Programmierung. Zudem ist es derzeit für potenzielle Anwender oftmals unklar, wie eine anforderungsgerechte Low-Code-Plattform ausgewählt und eingeführt werden kann. In diesem Buch werden daher die Herausforderungen bei der Einführung von Low-Code-Plattformen erörtert und umfangreiche Gestaltungsempfehlungen vermittelt, damit es Betrieben gelingt, die wirtschaftlichen Potenziale der Low-Code-Programmierung zu nutzen.

Engineering Embedded Systems: Physics, Programs, Circuits

This is a textbook for graduate and final-year-undergraduate computer-science and electrical-engineering students interested in the hardware and software aspects of embedded and cyberphysical systems design. It is comprehensive and self-contained, covering everything from the basics to case-study implementation.Emphasis is placed on the physical nature of the problem domain and of the devices used. The reader is assumed to be familiar on a theoretical level with mathematical tools like ordinary differential equation and Fourier transforms. In this book these tools will be put to practical use.Engineering Embedded Systems begins by addressing basic material on signals and systems, before introducing to electronics. Treatment of digital electronics accentuating synchronous circuits and including high-speed effects proceeds to micro-controllers, digital signal processors and programmable logic. Peripheral units and decentralized networks are given due weight. The properties of analog circuits and devices like filters and data converters are covered to the extent desirable by a systems architect. The handling of individual elements concludes with power supplies including regulators and converters.The final section of the text is composed of four case studies:• electric-drive control, permanent magnet synchronous motors in particular;• lock-in amplification with measurement circuits for weight and torque, and moisture;• design of a simple continuous wave radar that can be operated to measure speed and distance; and• design of a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer for process applications.End-of-chapter exercises will assist the student to assimilate the tutorial material and these are supplemented by a downloadable solutions manual for instructors. The “pen-and-paper” problems are further augmented with laboratory activities. In addition to its student market, Engineering Embedded Systems will assist industrial practitioners working in systems architecture and the design of electronic measurement systems to keep up to date with developments in embedded systems through self study.

Social Media Marketing und -Management im Tourismus

Im 21. Jahrhundert sind weite Teile der Gesellschaft geprägt von Schlagwörtern wie New und Social Economy, Social Web, Crowd Sourcing, Twitter, Facebook, Blogs, Google+, Pinterest und Co. Die Relevanz einzelner Unternehmen und Unternehmer rückt in den Hintergrund des Agierens im Internet und dafür nimmt die soziale Komponente der Kommunikation und des vernetzten Denkens in und mit diversen Communities einen wesentlich bedeutenderen Stellenwert ein. Der Erkenntnisgegenstand des Buches fokussiert sich auf die Frage, wie unterschiedliche Personen und Unternehmen mit den Möglichkeiten und Risiken von Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien im Bereich des Tourismus kommunizieren und agieren, um so zu neuen Lösungen gelangen oder auch durch die Veränderungen im IKT-Bereich zu neuen Lösungen gezwungen werden.Das Buch Social Media Marketing und –Management stellt einen neuartigen Zugang bei der Darstellung des Phänomens Social Media in der Betriebswirtschaft dar, da darin erstmals ein ganzheitlicher deduktiv aufgebauter Ansatz der Begriffslehre entwickelt wurde. Gleichzeitig hat der Leser die Möglichkeit, sich zu diesem spannenden Bereich anhand einer Vielzahl an Beispielen aus der Tourismusbranche zu orientieren und sich Ideen für eigene Weiterentwicklungsmöglichkeiten zu erarbeiten.

Quality of Synthetic Speech: Perceptual Dimensions, Influencing Factors, and Instrumental Assessment (T-Labs Series in Telecommunication Services)

This book reviews research towards perceptual quality dimensions of synthetic speech, compares these findings with the state of the art, and derives a set of five universal perceptual quality dimensions for TTS signals. They are: (i) naturalness of voice, (ii) prosodic quality, (iii) fluency and intelligibility, (iv) absence of disturbances, and (v) calmness. Moreover, a test protocol for the efficient indentification of those dimensions in a listening test is introduced. Furthermore, several factors influencing these dimensions are examined. In addition, different techniques for the instrumental quality assessment of TTS signals are introduced, reviewed and tested. Finally, the requirements for the integration of an instrumental quality measure into a concatenative TTS system are examined.

Non-Smooth and Complementarity-Based Distributed Parameter Systems: Simulation and Hierarchical Optimization (International Series of Numerical Mathematics #172)

Many of the most challenging problems in the applied sciences involve non-differentiable structures as well as partial differential operators, thus leading to non-smooth distributed parameter systems. This edited volume aims to establish a theoretical and numerical foundation and develop new algorithmic paradigms for the treatment of non-smooth phenomena and associated parameter influences. Other goals include the realization and further advancement of these concepts in the context of robust and hierarchical optimization, partial differential games, and nonlinear partial differential complementarity problems, as well as their validation in the context of complex applications. Areas for which applications are considered include optimal control of multiphase fluids and of superconductors, image processing, thermoforming, and the formation of rivers and networks.Chapters are written by leading researchers and present results obtained in the first funding phase of the DFG Special Priority Program on Nonsmooth and Complementarity Based Distributed Parameter Systems: Simulation and Hierarchical Optimization that ran from 2016 to 2019.

Finite Elemente Programme für Platten und Schalen

Das Buch geht über die Beschreibung der Methode oder spezieller Programme weit hinaus: Es bietet einen relativ einfachen Zugang, indem lediglich geringe mathematische Vorkenntnisse (Differentialgleichungen und Matrizenrechnung) erwartet und die Voraussetzungen der schubweichen Plattentheorie und einer speziellen Schalentheorie so weit dargestellt werden, wie man sie zum Aufstellen der finiten Gleichungen benötigt. Die hergeleiteten Bezeichnungen sind nicht nur relativ leicht nachvollziehbar, sondern werden in Form von Programmen praktisch vermittelt; die Umsetzung wird an praxisorientierten Beispielen demonstriert. Die Programme können dazu dienen, sie auf eigene Probleme anzuwenden, die Software weiter auszubauen oder aber verfeinerte Algorithmen zu implementieren. Diese Ausgabe ist gegenüber dem englischen Original erweitert und aktualisiert worden.
