Recently, a new Quicksort variant due to Yaroslavskiy was chosen as standard sorting
method for Oracle's Java 7 runtime library. The decision for the change was based on
empirical studies showing that on average, the new algorithm is faster than the formerly
used classic Quicksort. Surprisingly, the improvement was achieved by using a dual pivot
approach — an idea that was considered not promising by several theoretical studies in the
past. In this thesis, I try to find the reason for this unexpected success.
My focus is on the precise and detailed average case analysis, aiming at the flavor of
Knuth's series “The Art of Computer Programming”. In particular, I go beyond abstract
measures like counting key comparisons, and try to understand the efficiency of the
algorithms at different levels of abstraction. Whenever possible, precise expected values are
preferred to asymptotic approximations. This rigor ensures that (a) the sorting methods
discussed here are actually usable in practice and (b) that the analysis results contribute to
a sound comparison of the Quicksort variants.
Data usage control is a concept that extends access control to also protect data after it
has been released. Usage control enforcement relies on available information about the
distribution of data in the monitored system. In this thesis we introduce an information
flow tracking approach for JavaScript in order to enable usage control for dynamic content
in web browsers. The proposed model is implemented as a prototype in the JavaScript
engine V8 of the Chromium browser to evaluate the feasibility of the chosen approach.
This research for this thesis was conducted to develop a framework which supports the automatic configuration of project-specific software development processes by selecting and combining different technologies: the Process Configuration Framework. The research draws attention to the problem that while the research community develops new technologies, the industrial companies continue only using their well-known ones. Because of this, technology transfer takes decades. In addition, there is the fact that there is no solution which solves all problems in a software development project. This leads to a number of technologies which need to be combined for one project.
The framework developed and explained in this research mainly addresses those problems by building a bridge between research and industry as well as by supporting software companies during the selection of the most appropriate technologies combined in a software process. The technology transformation gap is filled by a repository of (new) technologies which are used as a foundation of the Process Configuration Framework. The process is configured by providing SPEM process pattern for each technology, so that the companies can build their process by plugging into each other.
The technologies of the repository were specified in a schema including a technology model, context model, and an impact model. With context and impact it is possible to provide information about a technology, for example, its benefits to quality, cost or schedule. The offering of the process pattern as output of the Process Configuration Framework is performed in several stages:
I Technology Ranking:
1 Ranking based on Application Domain, Project & Impact
2 Ranking based on Environment
3 Ranking based on Static Context
II Technology Combination:
4 Creation of all possible Technology Chains
5 Restriction of the Technology Chains
6 Ranking based on Static and Dynamic Context
7 Extension of the Chains by Quality Assurance
III Process Configuration:
8 Process Component Diagram
9 Extension of the Process Component Diagram
10 Instantiation of the Components by Technologies of the Technology Chain
11 Providing process patterns
12 Creation of the process based on Patterns
The effectiveness and quality of the Process Configuration Framework have additionally been evaluated in a case study. Here, the Technology Chains manually created by experts were compared to the chains automatically created by the framework after it was configured by those experts. This comparison depicted that the framework results are similar and therefore can be used as a recommendation.
We conclude from our research that support during the configuration of a process for software projects is important especially for non-experts. This support is provided by the Process Configuration Framework developed in this research. In addition our research has shown that this framework offers a possibility to speed up the technology transformation gap between the research community and industrial companies.
Tropical geometry is a very new mathematical domain. The appearance of
tropical geometry was motivated by its deep relations to other mathematical
branches. These include algebraic geometry, symplectic geometry, complex
analysis, combinatorics and mathematical biology.
In this work we see some more relations between algebraic geometry and
tropical geometry. Our aim is to prove a one-to-one correspondence between
the divisor classes on the moduli space of n-pointed rational stable curves
and the divisors of the moduli space of n-pointed abstract tropical curves.
Thus we state some results of the algebraic case first. In algebraic geometry
these moduli spaces are well understood. In particular, the group of divisor
classes is calculated by S. Keel. We recall the needed results in chapter one.
For the proof of the correspondence we use some results of toric geometry.
Further we want to show an equality of the Chow groups of a special toric
variety and the algebraic moduli space. Thus we state some results of the
toric geometry as well.
This thesis tries to discover some connection between algebraic and tropical
geometry. Thus we also need the corresponding tropical objects to the
algebraic objects. Therefore we give some necessary definitions such as fan,
tropical fan, morphisms between tropical fans, divisors or the topical moduli
space of all n-marked tropical curves. Since we need it, we show that the
tropical moduli space can be embedded as a tropical fan.
After this preparatory work we prove that the group of divisor classes in
v
classical algebraic geometry has it equivalence in tropical geometry. For this
it is useful to give a map from the group of divisor classes of the algebraic
moduli space to the group of divisors of the tropical moduli space. Our aim is
to prove the bijectivity of this map in chapter three. On the way we discover
a deep connection between the algebraic moduli space and the toric variety
given by the tropical fan of the tropical moduli space.
In this work a 3-dimensional contact elasticity problem for a thin fiber and a rigid foundation is studied. We describe the contact condition by a linear Robin-condition (by meaning of the penalized and linearized non-penetration and friction conditions).
The dimension of the problem is reduced by an asymptotic approach. Scaling the Robin parameters appropriately we obtain a recurrent chain of Neumann type boundary value problems which are considered only in the microscopic scale. The problem for the leading term is a homogeneous Neumann problem, hence the leading term depends only on the slow variable. This motivates the choice of a multiplicative ansatz in the asymptotic expansion.
The theoretical results are illustrated with numerical examples performed with a commercial finite-element software-tool.
Die Kommunale Planungspraxis durchlebt derzeit eine Phase, die von sich verändernden Rahmenbedingungen geprägt ist. Es zeigen sich erste Auswirkungen des demographischen Wandels wie wachsende Leerstände, zugleich ist jedoch nach wie vor eine ungebremste Flächenneuinanspruchnahme zu verzeichnen, die von dem „30 Hektar Ziel“ der nationalen Nachhaltigkeitsstrategie weit entfernt liegt. Begleitet wird diese Entwicklung von einer sich immer mehr verschärfenden Finanzknappheit der Kommunen, die auch zu einer vermehrten Abgabe von Planungsaufgaben, dem Kerngebiet kommunaler Selbstverwaltung, an externe Planungsträger führt. Um bei diesen Prozessen die notwendige Transparenz zu generieren und damit die Akzeptanz der Planung sicherzustellen ist es wichtig, die Bürger frühzeitig zu informieren und zu beteiligen. Hier eröffnet die Visualisierung von Planungen mittels des Computers die Chance, als virtuelle Repräsentation realer Städte oder Planungen, heterogene, raumbezogene Informationen einer breiten Bevölkerungsschicht interaktiv zugänglich zu machen; sie eröffnet somit eine neue Perspektive auf Lebensumwelten, und hilft, diese besser zu verstehen.
El tema se desarrolló en dos partes, de las cuales, la primera, Los tratadistas europeos, abordó la situación de los libros de arquitectura editados durante los siglos XV, XVI y principios del XVII en Europa, y tocó también los primeros esfuerzos de teorización del arte edilicio durante la Antigüedad y la Edad Media. Con esta sistematización se logró una visión en conjunto de la evolución de la teoría arquitectónica, redactada en español y elaborada a partir de una bibliografía, en su mayoría publicada en idiomas extranjeros. En la segunda parte, La repercusión en Nueva España, se trató de comprobar la influencia de los textos teóricos importados desde la metrópoli, en la colonia del siglo XVI, a la luz de la circulación de los libros de arquitectura, la formación de los alarifes y las fechas de construcción de los edificios seleccionados. La división en dos secciones obedeció a la enunciación del tema, pues así resultó ser más fácil su tratamiento en una manera clara y ordenada, y se justificó por el logro del objetivo planteado, que para la primera parte era una sistematización de los tratados europeos de arquitectura del Renacimiento y del Manierismo que sirviera de base a futuras investigaciones relacionados con este asunto; y para la segunda, consistía en la comprobación de la aplicación de dichos manuales teóricos en la Nueva España.
