Fault-tolerance by replication has been re-implemented over and over again. Even though many replicated services apply the same replication protocols, their implementations are not re-usable, because replication is seldom ...

In this thesis a new approach to object recognition will be introduced. The basic idea of the approach is to compare two combinations of half ellipses representing two objects in order to find out whether the combinations ...

Process management systems (PrMS) offer promising perspectives for a more flexible and efficient process execution. However, for many process-aware application systems, the underlying process logic is still hard-coded. As ...

Durch Reinforcement Learning kann intelligentes Verhalten anhand sensomotorischer Interaktion erlernt werden. Die Art und Weise des Lernens ist neurobiologisch und psychologisch motiviert, wobei ein künstlicher Lernagent ...

Rank-metric codes recently attract a lot of attention due to their possible application to network coding, cryptography, space-time coding and distributed storage. An optimal-cardinality algebraic code construction in rank ...

Two challenges in algebraic coding theory are addressed within this dissertation. The first one is the efficient hard- and soft-decision decoding of Generalized Reed--Solomon codes over finite fields in Hamming metric. ...

Diese Arbeit verfolgt die Vision der Unified Communications, der Aggregation aller Formen synchroner Kommunikation in einer einzigen Anwendung bei gleichzeitiger Integration der logischen Präsenz. Dazu wird eine Middleware ...
