Visualisation of semantic enrichment
Automatically creating semantic enrichments for text may lead to annotations that allow for excellent recall but poor precision. Manual enrichment is potentially more targeted, leading to greater precision. We aim to support nonexperts in manually enriching texts with semantic annotations. Neither the visualisation of semantic enrichment nor the process of manually enriching texts has been evaluated before. This paper presents the results of our user study on visualisation of text enrichment during the annotation process. We performed extensive analysis of work related to the visualisation of semantic annotations. In a prototype implementation, we then explored two layout alternatives for visualising semantic annotations and their linkage to the text atoms. Here we summarise and discuss our results and their design implications for tools creating semantic annotations
Symmetric Boolean functions with high nonlinearity
International audienceIt is known that the symmetric Boolean functions with optimal nonlinearity are the quadratic functions. Here, we extend this work and we characterise the functions with suboptimal nonlinearity by using the link between the periodicity of their simplified value vectors and their algebraic degrees
Logarithmically Completely Monotonic Ratios of Mean Values and an Application
In the article, some strictly Logarithmically completely monotonic
ratios of mean values are presented
Processes, Roles and Their Interactions
Taking an interaction network oriented perspective in informatics raises the
challenge to describe deterministic finite systems which take part in networks
of nondeterministic interactions. The traditional approach to describe
processes as stepwise executable activities which are not based on the
ordinarily nondeterministic interaction shows strong centralization tendencies.
As suggested in this article, viewing processes and their interactions as
complementary can circumvent these centralization tendencies.
The description of both, processes and their interactions is based on the
same building blocks, namely finite input output automata (or transducers).
Processes are viewed as finite systems that take part in multiple, ordinarily
nondeterministic interactions. The interactions between processes are described
as protocols.
The effects of communication between processes as well as the necessary
coordination of different interactions within a processes are both based on the
restriction of the transition relation of product automata. The channel based
outer coupling represents the causal relation between the output and the input
of different systems. The coordination condition based inner coupling
represents the causal relation between the input and output of a single system.
All steps are illustrated with the example of a network of resource
administration processes which is supposed to provide requesting user processes
exclusive access to a single resource.Comment: In Proceedings IWIGP 2012, arXiv:1202.422
Mining Projects from Structured and Unstructured Data
Companies working on safety-critical projects must adhere to strict rules imposed by
the domain, especially when human safety is involved. These projects need to be compliant to
standard norms and regulations. Thus, all the process steps must be clearly documented in order
to be verifiable for compliance in a later stage by an auditor. Nevertheless, documentation often
comes in the form of manually written textual documents in different formats. Moreover, the project
members use diverse proprietary tools. This makes it difficult for auditors to understand how the
actual project was conducted. My research addresses the project mining problem by exploiting logs
from project-generated artifacts, which come from software repositories used by the project team
What are Hybrid Development Methods Made Of?
Regardless of company size or industry sector, a majority of project teams and companies use customized processes that combine different development methods-so-called hybrid development methods. Even though such hybrid development methods are highly individualized, a common understanding of how to systematically construct synergetic practices is missing. Based on 1,467 data points from a large-scale online survey among practitioners, we study the current state of practice in process use to answer the question: What are hybrid development methods made of? Our findings reveal that only eight methods and few practices build the core of modern software development. This small set allows for statistically constructing hybrid development methods
