Feature interaction in composed systems. Proceedings. ECOOP 2001 Workshop #08 in association with the 15th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming, Budapest, Hungary, June 18-22, 2001

Feature interaction is nothing new and not limited to computer science. The problem of undesirable feature interaction (feature interaction problem) has already been investigated in the telecommunication domain. Our goal is the investigation of feature interaction in componet-based systems beyond telecommunication. This Technical Report embraces all position papers accepted at the ECOOP 2001 workshop no. 08 on "Feature Interaction in Composed Systems". The workshop was held on June 18, 2001 at Budapest, Hungary

Informatik 2000. Workshopforum Praxis des Freundeskreises der Fakultät für Informatik, Würzbach/Schwarzwald 1993

Das Workshopforum PRAXIS des Freundeskreises der Fakultaet fuer Informatik der Universitaet Karlsruhe (FFI) hat das Ziel, den Austausch zwischen Studenten der Fakultaet und ehemaligen Fakultaetsangehoerigen voranzutreiben. In diesem Jahr stand die erstmalig durchgefuehrte Veranstaltung unter dem Motto "Informatik 2000". Dabei wurden Zukunftsperspektiven des Hochschul infomatikers in verschiedenen Berufsbilder vor dem Hintergrund aktueller und prognostizierter Zukunftstendenzen der Informatik beleuchtet. Zudem wurde die Rueckwirkung dieser Tendenzen und der durch sie verursachten Aenderungen in den beruflichen Anforderungen auf die universitaere Lehre untersucht. Zentrales Vehikel der Veranstaltung war die Gruppenarbeit in Berufsbild-- bzw. Lehre-spezifischen Workshops. Diese Arbeit wurde durch Vortraege eingeleitet, die Entwicklungs trends aus verschiedenen Blickwinkel betrachteten. Den Abschluss fand die Veranstaltung in einer Podiumsdiskussion mit Professoren der Fakultaet ueber die zukuenftige Entwicklung der universitaeren Lehre in der Informatik. Begleitend fand ein auflockerndes Rahmenprogramm statt, um das Schliessen und Festigen von persoenlichen Kontakten zwischen Studenten und Ehemaligen zu foerdern. Die Abfassung dieses Berichts beruht in den Workshop-spezifischen Teilen weitgehend auf Berichten der Worskhop-Teilnehmer. Dabei sei speziell Carsten Brockmann, Hilmar Brunn, FrankHeil, Eva Pawlowski und Guido Zuelch gedankt

Dacron® vs. PTFE as bypass materials in peripheral vascular surgery – systematic review and meta-analysis

Roll S, Müller-Nordhorn J, Keil T, et al. Dacron® vs. PTFE as bypass materials in peripheral vascular surgery – systematic review and meta-analysis. BMC Surgery. 2008;8(1): 22.Background: In peripheral vascular bypass surgery different synthetic materials are available for bypass grafting. It is unclear which of the two commonly used materials, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or polyester (Dacron®) grafts, is to be preferred. Thus, the aim of this meta-analysis and systematic review was to compare the effectiveness of these two prosthetic bypass materials (Dacron® and PTFE). Methods: We performed a systematic literature search in MEDLINE, Cochrane-Library – CENTRAL, EMBASE and other databases for relevant publications in English and German published between 1999 and 2008. Only randomized controlled trials were considered for inclusion. We assessed the methodological quality by means of standardized checklists. Primary patency was used as the main endpoint. Random-effect meta-analysis as well as pooling data in life table format was performed to combine study results. Results: Nine randomized controlled trials (RCT) were included. Two trials showed statistically significant differences in primary patency, one favouring Dacron® and one favouring PTFE grafts, while 7 trials did not show statistically significant differences between the two materials. Meta-analysis on the comparison of PTFE vs. Dacron® grafts yielded no differences with regard to primary patency rates (hazard ratio 1.04 (95% confidence interval [0.85;1.28]), no significant heterogeneity (p = 0.32, I2 = 14%)). Similarly, there were no significant differences with regard to secondary patency rates. Conclusion: Systematic evaluation and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials comparing Dacron® and PTFE as bypass materials for peripheral vascular surgery showed no evidence of an advantage of one synthetic material over the other
