Serious Games

Serious games and game-based learning have been experiencing an upsurge in attention, in the recent past and now. Some approaches concentrate on pedagogic sound teaching concepts, others concentrate on appealing game design, and few do both. Additionally, many games, traditional e-Learning in particular, do not adapt to the learner’s individual needs, thus giving away one of the primary benefits game-based learning has to offer.

This Ferienakademie course aims at adressing these problems and trying to remedy some. During the course the team will develop an apealing game based on the infamous iOS platform.

URML

Unified Requirements Modeling Language

The URML project is about creating a modeling language for requirements elicitation, the Unified Requirements Modeling Language.

It is a joint effort of Siemens Corporate Technology and the Chair for Applied Software Engineering.URML unifies concepts from goal-oriented, feature-oriented, process-oriented, and risk-oriented approaches and integrates them with the classical view of functional and nonfunctional requirements. That integration enables traceability between dangers, processes, goals, stakeholders, features, and requirements in a single model.

Monitoring Control for Remote Software Maintenance EU FP7This project has been financed under the 7th Framework Program of the European Commision, THEME ICT-2009.1.2, Internet of Services, Software and Virtualisation, with Grant agreement no. 258109

The overall goal of the FastFix project is to provide software developers with a mainte- nance environment that combines time efficiency with low cost and high precision. FastFix will develop a platform and a set of tools that will continuously monitor customer envi- ronments, while collecting information on application execution and user interaction. The overall objective is to identify symptoms of execution errors, performance degradation, or changes in user behaviour. By using correlation techniques, the platform will also support failure replication in order to identify incorrect execution patterns and, in particular cases, automatically generate and deploy remedial patches.

URES

Usage- and Rationale-based Evolution Decision Support
DFG Projekt

URES is a joint project of Universität Heidelberg (Prof. Paech) and Technische Universität München (Prof. Brügge) and it is part of the DFG Priority Programme SPP1593.

For software evolution decisions developers need knowledge of the current and future deployment context as well as knowledge of the software and its development artifacts. Typically this knowledge is documented only partially and often only in unrelated fragments, and therefore it is not fully exploitable. In addition, the reasoning underlying the decisions made in previous releases can also change. Thus, it is an important challenge to ease the capture of this knowledge and to improve the decision process. The vision of the URES project is a continuous decision process over the whole software life-cycle.

Probability-based Inference of Composition and Conducting behaviour of humans in interactive organizations In Zusammenarbeit mit dem Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks unter der Schirmherrschaft von Mariss Jansons.

The goal of the Pinocchio project is to enable children to experience and develop an understanding for classical music in a playful manner by conducting a virtual orchestra. We are developing Pinocchio as a game for a living room environment as well as in a museum setting. The user is able to configure the orchestra. Each musician is associated with audio and video streams and can be freely located in 3D space. The orchestra adjusts to the tempo and volume according to the conductor's gestures. The long-term goal is the creation of a multi-modal, device independent framework for gesture-based applications which require motor skills or the control and operation of a complex set of sensors in intelligent house or car driver assistance systems.

Software Cinema

Software Cinema

Video-based Requirements Engineering

Software Cinema is research in useful applications of video in software development. However, video alone is an inert medium which does not facilitate changing the message of finished movies. To alleviate this shortcoming, we propose a tool kit to create, edit, and modify digital media consisting of film enriched with software models. We call this Requirements Analysis Video (RAV). Our focus in the development life cycle is on requirements elicitation and analysis, since we expect the greatest benefits there. The rhetoric gap between end-users and developers is especially severe in those applications, and we are confident that RAV can serve to reduce misconceptions and misunderstandings. We think RAV is a viable alternative for capturing and transporting fuzzy information.

ARENA

ARENA is a distributed, multi-user system for organizing and conducting tournaments. ARENA is game independent in the sense that organizers can adapt a new game to the ARENA game interface, upload it to the ARENA server, and announce and conduct tournaments with players and spectators located anywhere on the Internet. Organizers can also define new tournament styles, describing how players are mapped to a set of matches and how to compute an overall ranking of players by adding up their victories and losses (and hence, figuring out who won the tournament).

Sysiphus

Sysiphus

The goal of Sysiphus is to support modeling and collaboration in global software projects. While global projects are becoming more common in software development, collaboration among sites remains difficult. Primary causes include differences in culture, lack of informal communication, and lack of awareness among sites. Sysiphus addresses these challenges by providing a uniform framework for representing system models, collaboration artifacts, and the overall project organization. By making this information explicit, participants can become aware of upcoming issues, contact more easily the relevant stakeholders, and resolve issues more quickly. By providing mechanisms to selectively notify potential recipients, participants save time and effort while avoiding an information overload.

Center for Knowledge Interchange

Decision Support Tool for IT-Security and Risk Management

Today's system administrators have to react to security alerts based on intuition, previous experience, regulations, and sometimes on inflexible policies; moreover, currently there is no link to available defense reactions and related defense costs. The goal of this project is to support the role of the system administrator by automating his task through introducing the proposition of automation versus human intervention.

 
Center for Knowledge Interchange

IT Network Management Tool for IT Services

This project was initiated in coordination with the project "Decision Support Tool for IT-Security and Risk Management". One of the major assumptions of the "Decision Support Tool for IT-Security and Risk Management" is the existence of a white-box IT infrastructure which maps the IT-resources to one another. This allows, in an attack incident, the ability to trace the complete transitive closure of the IT-resources affected and thus build the potential attack tree.

Awareness Builder

Awareness Builder

ABX

Awareness Builder (ABX) is a system that will enable the participants of distributed software development projects to monitor the activities of others over a wide range of artifacts (e.g., system artifacts, organizational charts, or rationale models). Participants can subscribe to be notified when specific system artifacts are modified, when specific participants trigger an activity, or when participants trigger activities related to specific issues. Relationships among the system, organizational, and rationale models are then used to provide observers a context to interpret the activities of others. By providing context in terms of issues (as opposed to only system or communication artifacts), we hope to disseminate richer and more targeted awareness information, hence creating more opportunities for informal information exchanges and for distributed collaboration.

Daidalos

Daidalos

By order of the German National Merit Foundation (Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes).

The Daidalos project defined and implemented an intranet for the German National Merit Foundation (Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes). The project created new ways and enhanced existing of communication between scholars (former and current) and the foundation itself. Project management for this project was quite a challenge since almost all members of the project were spread over Germany and worked voluntarily.

The goal of this project was to develop a software solution for deploying frequently updated technical specifications and information about vehicle maintenance to car dealers. Traditional methods, such as delivering paper-based or CD-based documents, are slow and costly. The project is based on a selective, adaptive multicast protocol and builds on advanced technologies such as data mining, statistical modeling, and mobile computing.

The goal of this project is to develop services and applications related to smart cards and cars. Examples are the automatic reservation of parking lots via mobile phones, the remote diagnosis of car failures, and the realization of frequent driver incentive schemes. Some of these applications also benefit from satellite navigation systems, for example, to guide the driver to its reserved parking lot.

DWARF

DWARF

Augmented Reality Framework

DWARF is a CORBA based framework that allows the rapid prototyping of distributed Augmented Reality applications. Augmented Reality is a new way for humans and computers to interact: real-world scenes are augmented with virtual objects. DWARF is a Framework for the development of such systems: a collection of intelligent modules that can be combined flexibly depending on the needs of the desired application.
