    This thesis studies the notion of stability in software engineering with the aim of understanding its dimensions, facets and aspects, as well as characterising it. The thesis further investigates the aspect of behavioural stability at the architectural level, as a property concerned with the architecture's capability in maintaining the achievement of expected quality of service and accommodating runtime changes, in order to delay the architecture drifting and phasing-out as a consequence of the continuous unsuccessful provision of quality requirements. The research aims to provide a systematic and methodological support for analysing, modelling, designing and evaluating architectural stability. The novelty of this research is the consideration of stability during runtime operation, by focusing on the stable provision of quality of service without violations. As the runtime dimension is associated with adaptations, the research investigates stability in the context of self-adaptive software architectures, where runtime stability is challenged by the quality of adaptation, which in turn affects the quality of service. The research evaluation focuses on the effectiveness, scale and accuracy in handling runtime dynamics, using the self-adaptive cloud architectures

    Multidisciplinary perspectives on Artificial Intelligence and the law

    This open access book presents an interdisciplinary, multi-authored, edited collection of chapters on Artificial Intelligence (‘AI’) and the Law. AI technology has come to play a central role in the modern data economy. Through a combination of increased computing power, the growing availability of data and the advancement of algorithms, AI has now become an umbrella term for some of the most transformational technological breakthroughs of this age. The importance of AI stems from both the opportunities that it offers and the challenges that it entails. While AI applications hold the promise of economic growth and efficiency gains, they also create significant risks and uncertainty. The potential and perils of AI have thus come to dominate modern discussions of technology and ethics – and although AI was initially allowed to largely develop without guidelines or rules, few would deny that the law is set to play a fundamental role in shaping the future of AI. As the debate over AI is far from over, the need for rigorous analysis has never been greater. This book thus brings together contributors from different fields and backgrounds to explore how the law might provide answers to some of the most pressing questions raised by AI. An outcome of the Católica Research Centre for the Future of Law and its interdisciplinary working group on Law and Artificial Intelligence, it includes contributions by leading scholars in the fields of technology, ethics and the law.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

    Eine agentenbasierte Architektur fĂŒr Programmierung mit gesprochener Sprache

    Get PDF
    Sprachgesteuerte Computersysteme werden heutzutage von Millionen von Nutzern verwendet; Chatbots, virtuelle Assistenten, wie Siri oder Google Assistant, und Smarthomes sind lĂ€ngst fester Bestandteil des Alltags vieler Menschen. Zwar erscheinen derartige Systeme inzwischen intelligent; tatsĂ€chlich reagieren sie aber nur auf einzelne Befehle, die zudem bestimmte Formulierungen erfordern. Die Nutzer sind außerdem auf vorgefertigte FunktionalitĂ€ten beschrĂ€nkt; neue Befehle können nur von Entwicklern einprogrammiert und vom Hersteller zur VerfĂŒgung gestellt werden. In Zukunft werden Nutzer erwarten, intelligente Systeme nach ihren BedĂŒrfnissen anzupassen, das heißt programmieren zu können. Das in dieser Arbeit beschriebene System ProNat ermöglicht Endnutzer-Programmierung mit gesprochener Sprache. Es befĂ€higt Laien dazu, einfache Programme fĂŒr unterschiedliche Zielsysteme zu beschreiben und deren FunktionalitĂ€t zu erweitern. ProNat basiert auf PARSE, einer eigens entworfenen agentenbasierten Architektur fĂŒr tiefes SprachverstĂ€ndnis. Das System ermöglicht die Verwendung alltĂ€glicher Sprache zur Beschreibung von Handlungsanweisungen. Diese werden von ProNat als Programm fĂŒr ein Zielsystem interpretiert, das eine Anwendungsschnittstelle zur Endnutzer-Programmierung anbietet. Bisherige AnsĂ€tze zur Programmierung mit natĂŒrlicher Sprache ermöglichen nur die Erzeugung kurzer Programme anhand textueller Beschreibungen. Da die meisten Systeme monolithisch entworfen wurden, können sie zudem nur mit großem Aufwand adaptiert werden und sind ĂŒberwiegend auf die Anwendung einer Technik (z. B. maschinelles Lernen) sowie auf eine AnwendungsdomĂ€ne festgelegt (z. B. Tabellenkalkulation). AnsĂ€tze, die gesprochene Sprache verarbeiten, können hingegen bisher nur einzelne Befehle erfassen. Um die Restriktionen bisheriger AnsĂ€tze aufzuheben, wird eine neuartige Architektur entworfen. Die Kernkomponenten der Architektur PARSE bilden unabhĂ€ngige Agenten, die je einen bestimmten Aspekt der natĂŒrlichen Sprache analysieren. Die Kapselung in unabhĂ€ngige Agenten ermöglicht es, je Teilaspekt zum VerstĂ€ndnis der Sprache eine andere Technik zu verwenden. Die Agenten werden nebenlĂ€ufig ausgefĂŒhrt. Dadurch können sie von Analyseergebnissen anderer Agenten profitieren; unterschiedliche Sprachanalysen können sich so gegenseitig unterstĂŒtzen. Beispielsweise hilft es, sprachliche Referenzen wie Anaphern aufzulösen, um den Kontext des Gesagten zu verstehen; manche Referenzen können wiederum nur mithilfe des Kontextes aufgelöst werden. Ihr Analyseergebnisse hinterlegen die Agenten in einer geteilten Datenstruktur, einem Graphen. Die Architektur stellt sicher, dass keine Wettlaufsituationen eintreten und nur gĂŒltige Änderungen am Graphen durchgefĂŒhrt werden. Die Agenten werden so lange wiederholt ausgefĂŒhrt, bis keine oder nur noch zyklische Änderungen eintreten. Neben den Agenten gibt PARSE die Verwendung von FließbĂ€ndern zur Vor- und Nachverarbeitung vor. Zudem können externe Ressourcen, wie Wissensdatenbanken oder Kontextmodellierungen, angeschlossen werden. Das System ProNat entsteht, indem konkrete Agenten und Fließbandstufen fĂŒr die Rahmenarchitektur PARSE bereitgestellt werden. ZusĂ€tzlich werden Informationen ĂŒber die AnwendungsdomĂ€ne (das heißt die Anwendungsschnittstelle des Zielsystems und gegebenenfalls eine Modellierung der Systemumgebung) in Form von Ontologien als externe Ressource angebunden. Eine gesprochene Äußerung wird von ProNat vorverarbeitet, indem zunĂ€chst das Audiosignal in eine textuelle Wortsequenz ĂŒberfĂŒhrt wird. Anschließend erfolgt eine grundlegende syntaktische Analyse, bevor ein initialer Graph als Analysegrundlage fĂŒr die Agenten erzeugt wird. Die Interpretation des Gesagten als Programm obliegt den Agenten. Es wurden sechzehn Agenten entwickelt, die sich in drei Kategorien unterteilen lassen: Erstens, Agenten, die allgemeine SprachverstĂ€ndnis-Analysen durchfĂŒhren, wie die Disambiguierung von Wortbedeutungen, die Auflösung von sprachlichen Referenzen oder die Erkennung von GesprĂ€chsthemen. Zweitens, Agenten, die das Gesagte auf programmatische Strukturen, wie Anwendungsschnittstellenaufrufe oder Kontrollstrukturen, untersuchen; hierzu zĂ€hlt auch ein Agent, der aus verbalisierten Lehrsequenzen Methodendefinitionen synthetisiert. Da die Agenten unabhĂ€ngig voneinander agieren, kann zur Lösung der jeweiligen Problemstellung eine beliebige Technik eingesetzt werden. Die Agenten zur Erkennung von Kontrollstrukturen verwenden beispielsweise Heuristiken, die auf syntaktischen Strukturen basieren, um ihre Analysen durchzufĂŒhren. Andere Agenten, wie die Agenten zur Disambiguierung von Wortbedeutungen oder zur Bestimmung der GesprĂ€chsthemen, verwenden Wikipedia, Wordnet oder Ă€hnliche Quellen und inferieren anhand dieser Informationen. Zuletzt verwenden einige Agenten, wie beispielsweise der Agent zur Erkennung von Lehrsequenzen, maschinelles Lernen. Die Interpretation einer gesprochenen Äußerung erfolgt dementsprechend mittels einer Kombination von sowohl regel- als auch statistik- und wissensbasierten Techniken. Dank der strikten Trennung der Agenten können diese einzeln (und zumeist unabhĂ€ngig voneinander) evaluiert werden. Hierzu wurden parallel zur Entwicklung der Agenten fortwĂ€hrend mithilfe von Nutzerstudien realistische Eingabebeispiele gesammelt. FĂŒr jeden Agenten kann somit ĂŒberprĂŒft werden, ob er einen zufriedenstellenden Beitrag zur Interpretation des Gesagten beitrĂ€gt. Das gemeinschaftliche Analyseergebnis der Agenten wird in der Nachverarbeitung sukzessive in ein konkretes Programm ĂŒbersetzt: ZunĂ€chst wird ein abstrakter Syntaxbaum generiert, der anschließend in Quelltext zur Steuerung eines Zielsystems ĂŒberfĂŒhrt wird. Die FĂ€higkeit des Systems ProNat, aus gesprochenen Äußerungen Quelltext zu generieren, wurde anhand von drei unabhĂ€ngigen Untersuchungen evaluiert. Als Datengrundlage dienen alle in den Nutzerstudien gesammelten natĂŒrlichsprachlichen Beschreibungen. ZunĂ€chst wurden fĂŒr eine Online-Studie UML-AktivitĂ€tsdiagramme aus gesprochenen Äußerungen generiert und 120 Probanden zur Bewertung vorgelegt: Der ĂŒberwiegende Teil der AktivitĂ€tsdiagramme (69%) wurde von der Mehrheit der Probanden als vollstĂ€ndig korrekt eingestuft, ein vielversprechendes Ergebnis, da die gesprochenen Äußerungen die Synthese von bis zu 24 Anweisungen (bzw. AktivitĂ€ten) sowie Kontrollstrukturen erfordern. In einer zweiten Untersuchung wurde Java-Quelltext, bestehend aus Aufrufen einer Anwendungsschnittstelle zur Steuerung eines humanoiden Roboters, synthetisiert und mit einer Musterlösung verglichen: ProNat konnte Aufrufe meist korrekt erzeugen (F1: 0,746); auch die Synthese von Kontrollstrukturen gelingt in 71% der FĂ€lle korrekt. Zuletzt wurde untersucht, wie gut ProNat anhand von natĂŒrlichsprachlichen Beschreibungen neue Funktionen erlernen kann: Verbalisierte Lehrsequenzen werden mit einer Genauigkeit von 85% in Äußerungen erkannt. Aus diesen leitet ProNat Methodendefinitionen ab; dabei gelingt es in ĂŒber 90% der FĂ€lle, einen sprechenden Methodennamen zu erzeugen. Auch der Aufruf der neu erlernten Funktion (durch natĂŒrlichsprachliche Anweisungen) gelingt mit einer Genauigkeit von 85%. Zusammengenommen zeigen die Untersuchungen, dass ProNat grundsĂ€tzlich in der Lage ist, Programme aus gesprochenen Äußerungen zu synthetisieren; außerdem können neue Funktionen anhand natĂŒrlichsprachlicher Beschreibungen erlernt werden

    Challenges for engineering students working with authentic complex problems

    Get PDF
    Engineers are important participants in solving societal, environmental and technical problems. However, due to an increasing complexity in relation to these problems new interdisciplinary competences are needed in engineering. Instead of students working with monodisciplinary problems, a situation where students work with authentic complex problems in interdisciplinary teams together with a company may scaffold development of new competences. The question is: What are the challenges for students structuring the work on authentic interdisciplinary problems? This study explores a three-day event where 7 students from Aalborg University (AAU) from four different faculties and one student from University College North Denmark (UCN), (6th-10th semester), worked in two groups at a large Danish company, solving authentic complex problems. The event was structured as a Hackathon where the students for three days worked with problem identification, problem analysis and finalizing with a pitch competition presenting their findings. During the event the students had workshops to support the work and they had the opportunity to use employees from the company as facilitators. It was an extracurricular activity during the summer holiday season. The methodology used for data collection was qualitative both in terms of observations and participants’ reflection reports. The students were observed during the whole event. Findings from this part of a larger study indicated, that students experience inability to transfer and transform project competences from their previous disciplinary experiences to an interdisciplinary setting
