Social networks such as Facebook are required to provide users with their personal data. However, these dumps do not provide users insight in overarching themes in their online behavior. In this poster, we discuss the development of Mother, a spatial hypertext system for visual data exploration. First insights include that the less obvious connections are more interesting and relevant to the user than very close semantic or temporal connections.

There has been an increasing discussion around B2B sales and the need for its digital transformation as it may strongly accelerate company's performance. Because sales is an essential element of business growth, it is important to study B2B sales and the level of digital transformation on a country-specific level. For this purpose, we studied the role of digital transformation in three different countries from the sales organization's perspective. Our qualitative preliminary findings show that the European Union's classifications on digitalization of European countries do not correlate with the companies' digital transformation of their sales operations in these countries.

Most companies are working on their digital transformation and thus on their digital transformation of sales. Despite enormous transformation efforts, the positive productivity effects seem to be missing. As this research paper will show, the reasons are given in a limited knowledge about the main success factors of digital transformation as well as a missing understanding of the digital transformation as an evolutionary process. Based on the newly developed market-oriented transformation model, management implications as well as future research directions are derived for a more focused digital transformation process in sales.

Since the early 2000s, driver assistance systems have been gaining in importance. They are intended to offer drivers both greater safety and greater comfort in the future. Ultimately, all the research and development activities of automotive and technology groups around driver assistance systems are aimed at introducing autonomous vehicles.
Since Waymo's entry into the development of automated vehicles in 2009, as well as the increased emergence of app-based mobility service providers such as Uber, Lyft & Co. in the U.S. in the early 2010s, the pace of development in driver assistance systems has increased massively - and a real competition has developed to bring the first autonomous vehicle to market. But what does the customer say about these developments? To what extent is he ready for these technological innovations or does he even demand autonomous vehicles? Due to the heated media coverage and the euphoric announcements of the automotive and technology companies, the authors of this book have made it their task to bring more realism into the entire discussion. To this end, they trace the line of development of autonomous driving in a historical outline and show, in broad outline, the current state of development as well as isolated visions of the future of the major market players.
However, special attention is paid to the attitudes and preferences of future users with regard to automated or autonomous driving. In addition to taking stock of whether customers want autonomous driving at all, the study examined which benefit components they value most and how the market launch process - taking customer preferences into account - should best be designed. Based on this, a series of suggestions and recommendations for action were developed, with which methods to the speed of adoption and diffusion of autonomous driving can be increased through intelligent activities on the part of the automotive industry.

Dieses Buch stellt den Abschlussbericht zum Verbundprojekt ProVorPlus vor. ProVorPlus leistet Beiträge zur anwendungsnahen Erforschung und Entwicklung großserientauglicher Fertigungs- und Produktionstechnologien für die wirtschaftliche Herstellung hybrider Leichtbaukomponenten und zum Aufbau von Prozessen zur Erzeugung flächiger Multi-Material-Fahrzeugstrukturen. Darüber hinaus werden Erkenntnisse über neuartige Produktionstechnologien vorgestellt, die zum einen die automatisierte Fertigung komplexer Vorformlinge in Multi-Material-Bauweise und zum anderen die Endkonsolidierung hybrider Bauteile durch die Verkettung von Einzelprozessen ermöglichen. Es wird dargestellt, wie die Technologien zum Abschluss in einer Prozesskette abgebildet und in Form von Anlagentechnik in der Open Hybrid LabFactory umgesetzt wurde.

Im folgenden Kapitel werden Prozessstrategien zur großserientauglichen Produktion hybrider Bauteile entwickelt und Prozesskonzepte vorgestellt, die sich zur Herstellung komplexer Bauteile einer Vorkonfektionierung bedienen und lokal vorliegende Materialeigenschaften zur Automation von Handhabungsprozessen ausnutzen.

Social networks use several user interaction techniques for enabling and soliciting user responses, such as posts, likes and comments. Some of these triggers may lead to posts or comments that a user may regret at a later stage. In this article, we investigate how users may be supported in reflecting upon their past activities, making use of an exploratory spatial hypertext tool. We discuss how we transform raw Facebook data dumps into a graph-based structure and reflect upon design decisions. First results provide insights in users motivations for using such a tool and confirm that the approach helps them in discovering past activities that they perceive as outdated or even embarrassing.

Diese Arbeit hat das Ziel, neue photokatalytische Materialien zu charakterisieren und bis zu einer technischen Systemlösung für die Abwasserbehandlung weiterzuentwickeln. Dazu wurden die vorhandenen Materialien detailliert untersucht und die allgemeine Kinetik des Abbaus von pharmazeutischen Substanzen bestimmt. Die Auswirkung von abwasserrelevanten chemischen Parametern auf diese Kinetik und die Mineralisationsleistung imVergleich mit anderen oxidativen Verfahren war ein weiterer Schwerpunkt der Untersuchungen. Letztlich konnten die Erkenntnisse für die Konstruktion von abwassertauglichen Reaktionssystemen genutzt und diese unter realen Bedingungen getestet sowie hinsichtlich ihrer Abwasserreinigungsleistung und energetischen Ezienz modelliert werden. Kurzzusammenfassung der Ziele: * Herstellung und Charakterisierung von trägergebundenen, photokatalytischen Materialien, * Optimierung einer Methode für die spurenanalytische Bestimmung der ausgewählten Pharmaka, * Beschreibung der Abbaukinetik der Pharmaka durch Funktionen, * Bestimmung des Einflusses von abwasserrelevanten Parametern auf die Abbaukinetik, * Entwicklung eines technischen Systems und Bestimmung des Abbauverhaltens der Pharmaka in realer Abwassermatrix (Kläranlagenablauf), * Bestimmung des Energiebedarfs des Systems

Agile Prozesse verändern nicht nur Unternehmen, sondern auch die Rechtsanwendung und Rechtsberatung. Waren bisher Beratungs- und Produktentstehungsprozess getrennt und oft sequentiell, braucht agiles Projektmanagement nun „agile Juristen“. Denn im Projektverlauf veränderbare Sachverhalte erfordern eine laufende rechtliche Adaption. Datenschutz und Datenmanagement agil zu gestalten, wird durch die Methode des Legal Process Modeling möglich. Der Jurist wird zum Legal Team Member und arbeitet kol- laborativ und prozessintegrativ an derselben Aufgabe wie die anderen Teammitglieder mit dem Ziel, den Prozess technisch exzellent und rechtskonform zu gestalten.

The value stream method has become a standard approach for the analysis and design of production areas in many companies. However, the conventional method is designed for high-volume production. We propose a new value stream analysis and design, tailored to the specific needs of make-to-order companies. While maintaining the paper-and-pencil approach for data collection, we set a focus on schedule reliability and the required manufacturing control methods. The new method is presented by the example of an industrial manufacturer of precision parts.
