Finiteness theorems in stochastic integer programming
We study Graver test sets for families of linear multi-stage stochastic
integer programs with varying number of scenarios. We show that these test sets
can be decomposed into finitely many ``building blocks'', independent of the
number of scenarios, and we give an effective procedure to compute these
building blocks. The paper includes an introduction to Nash-Williams' theory of
better-quasi-orderings, which is used to show termination of our algorithm. We
also apply this theory to finiteness results for Hilbert functions.Comment: 36 p
Ontology based Scene Creation for the Development of Automated Vehicles
The introduction of automated vehicles without permanent human supervision
demands a functional system description, including functional system boundaries
and a comprehensive safety analysis. These inputs to the technical development
can be identified and analyzed by a scenario-based approach. Furthermore, to
establish an economical test and release process, a large number of scenarios
must be identified to obtain meaningful test results. Experts are doing well to
identify scenarios that are difficult to handle or unlikely to happen. However,
experts are unlikely to identify all scenarios possible based on the knowledge
they have on hand. Expert knowledge modeled for computer aided processing may
help for the purpose of providing a wide range of scenarios. This contribution
reviews ontologies as knowledge-based systems in the field of automated
vehicles, and proposes a generation of traffic scenes in natural language as a
basis for a scenario creation.Comment: Accepted at the 2018 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, 8 pages, 10

CP violation and baryogenesis
In these lecture notes an introduction is given to some ideas and attempts to
understand the origin of the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe. After
the discussion of some basic issues of cosmology and particle theory the
scenarios of electroweak baryogenesis, GUT baryogenesis, and leptogenesis are
outlined.Comment: 57 pages, 17 figure
Proof-of-Concept Application - Annual Report Year 2
This document first gives an introduction to Application Layer Networks and subsequently presents the catallactic resource allocation model and its integration into the middleware architecture of the developed prototype. Furthermore use cases for employed service models in such scenarios are presented as general application scenarios as well as two very detailed cases: Query services and Data Mining services. This work concludes by describing the middleware implementation and evaluation as well as future work in this area. --Grid Computing
