Current projects
Learning Adaptivity in Heterogeneous Relational Database Systems (LARDS)
Duration: 01.04.2022 bis 01.04.2026
With the ever-increasing heterogeneity of hardware, the database community is tasked with adapting to the new reality of diverse systems with a rich set of different architectures, capabilities and properties.
The traditional workflow of hand-tuning implementations to the underlying hardware, for peak performance, is commonly considered untenable for an ever-growing variety of hardware with different performance characteristics. Systems like Micro-Adaptivity in Vectorwise or HAWK have been studied as solutions, but their adoption remains limited.
This project aims to explore solutions for a fully adaptive query execution engine and techniques that allow for simple adoption. To achieve this goal, we plan to tackle four problems.
At first, investigate on how to build micro-optimizations into a hardware-oblivious query pipeline in an efficient and simple-to-maintain way, while still offering a large optimization space. Afterwards, we investigate how to select the best optimizations automatically and in an on-the-fly adapting way, depending on the query and hardware properties.
As a third step, we investigate on the integration of the previous research results into a traditional query execution pipeline and query plan generation.
In the last phase of the project, we will explore techniques that can be used to augment the demonstrator with OLTP capabilities and introduce micro-optimizations into transaction processing.
Compositional Feature-Model Analyses
Duration: 01.01.2021 bis 01.01.2026
Feature modeling is widely used to systematically model features of variant-rich software systems and their dependencies. By translating feature models into propositional formulas and analyzing them with solvers, a wide range of automated analyses across all phases of the software development process become possible. Most solvers only accept formulas in conjunctive normal form (CNF), so an additional transformation of feature models is often necessary.
In this project, we investigate whether this transformation has a noticeable impact on analyses and how to influence this impact positively. We raise awareness about CNF transformations for feature-model analysis and mitigate it as a threat to validity for research evaluations to ensure reproducibility and fair comparisons. Furthermore, we investigate other steps in the feature-model analysis process, their alternatives, and their interactions; for instance, we study the potential and impact of knowledge compilation, interfaces, slicing, and evolution on feature-model analyses.
Our vision for this project is to lay a foundation for a compositional feature-model analysis algebra; that is, to understand how complex analyses are made of simple parts, how they can be re-assembled, and how those parts interact with each other.
A Common Storage Engine for Modern Memory and Storage Hierarchies
Duration: 01.10.2022 bis 30.09.2025
Scientific research is increasingly driven by data-intensive problems. As the complexity of studied problems is rising, so does their need for high data throughput and capacity. The globally produced data volume doubles approximately every two years, leading to an exponential data deluge. This deluge then directly challenges database management systems and file systems, which provide the foundation for efficient data analysis and management. These systems use different memory and storage devices, which were traditionally divided into primary, secondary and tertiary memory. However, with the introduction of the disruptive technology of non-volatile RAM (NVRAM), these classes started to merge into one another leading to heterogeneous storage architectures, where each storage device has highly different performance characteristics (e.g., persistence, storage capacity, latency). Hence, a major challenge is how to exploit the specific characteristics of memory devices.
To this end, SMASH will investigate the benefits of a common storage engine that manages a heterogeneous storage landscape, including traditional storage devices and non-volatile memory technologies. The core for this storage engine will be B-epsilon-trees, as they can be used to efficiently exploit these different devices. Furthermore, data placement and migration strategies will be investigated to minimize the overhead caused by transferring data between different devices. Eliminating the need for volatile caches will allow data consistency guarantees to be improved. From the application side, the storage engine will offer key-value and object interfaces that can be used for a wide range of use cases, such as high-performance computing (HPC) and database management systems. Moreover, due to the widening gap between the performance of computing and storage devices as well as their stagnating access performance, data reduction techniques are in high demand to reduce the bandwidth requirements when storing and retrieving data. We will, therefore, conduct research regarding data transformations in general and the possibilities of external and accelerated transformations. As part of SMASH, we will provide a prototypical standalone software library to be used by third-party projects. Common HPC workflows will be supported through an integration of SMASH into the existing JULEA storage framework, while database systems can use the interface of SMASH directly whenever data is stored or accessed.
Optimizing graph databases focussing on data processing and integration of machine learning for large clinical and biological datasets
Duration: 01.12.2021 bis 30.04.2025
Graphdatenbanken stellen eine effiziente Technik zur Speicherung und zum Zugriff auf hochgradig
verknüpfte Daten unter Verwendung einer Graphstruktur dar, wie z.B. Verbindungen zwischen Messdaten zu Umweltparametern oder klinischen Patientendaten. Die flexible Knotenstruktur macht es einfach, die Ergebnisse verschiedener Untersuchungen hinzuzufügen. Dies reicht von einfachen Blutdruckmessungen über die neuesten CT- und MRT-Scans bis hin zu hochauflösenden Omics-Analysen (z.B. von Tumorbiopsien, Darmmikrobiom-Proben). Allerdings wird das volle Potenzial der Datenverarbeitung und -analyse mittels Graphdatenbanken in biologischen und klinischen Anwendungsfällen noch nicht vollständig ausgeschöpft. Insbesondere die riesige Menge an miteinander verbundenen Daten, die geladen, verarbeitet und analysiert werden müssen, führt zu zu langen Verarbeitungszeiten, um in klinische Arbeitsabläufe integriert werden zu können. Um dieses Ziel zu erreichen sind neuartige Optimierungen von Graph-Operatoren sowie eine geeignete Integration von Analyseansätzen notwendig.
Dieses Projekt zielt darauf ab, die oben genannten Probleme in zwei Richtungen zu lösen: (i) Vorschlag geeigneter Optimierungen für Graphdatenbank-Operationen, auch unter Einsatz moderner Hardware, und(ii) Integration von Algorithmen des maschinellen Lernens für eine einfachere und schnellere Analyse der biologischen Daten. Für die erste Richtung untersuchen wir den Stand der Technik von Graphdatenbanksystemenund deren Speicherung sowie ihr Verarbeitungsmodell. Anschließend schlagen wir Optimierungen für effiziente
operationale und analytische Operatoren vor. Für die zweite Richtung stellen wir uns vor, Algorithmen des maschinellen Lernens näher an ihre Datenlieferanten - die Graphdatenbanken - heranzubringen. Zu diesem Zweck füttern wir in einem ersten Schritt die Algorithmen des maschinellen Lernens direkt mit dem Graphen als Eingabe, indem wir geeignete Graphenoperatoren entwerfen. In einem zweiten Schritt integrieren wir das maschinelle Lernen direkt in die Graphdatenbank, indem wir spezielle Knoten hinzufügen, die das Modell des Algorithmus für maschinelles Lernen repräsentieren.
Die Ergebnisse unseres Projekts sind verbesserte Operatoren, die sowohl moderne Hardware als auch Integrationskonzepte für Algorithmen des maschinellen Lernens nutzen. Unsere allgemein entwickelten Ansätze werden das Verarbeiten und Analysieren riesiger Graphen in einer Fülle von Anwendungsfällen über unseren angestrebten Anwendungsfall der biologischen und klinischen Datenanalyse hinaus vorantreiben.
Unveiling the Hidden Gems: Exploring Unexpected Rare Pattern Mining in Data
Duration: 20.08.2018 bis 31.03.2025
Pattern mining is the task of finding statistically relevant patterns in data that can provide valuable insights and knowledge. However, most existing pattern mining methods use a single threshold to determine the frequency of the patterns, which may not reflect the diversity and specificity of the data items. This may lead to two problems: (1) if the threshold is too low, it may generate too many patterns, many of which are redundant or uninteresting; (2) if the threshold is too high, it may miss some patterns, especially the rare ones that occur infrequently but have high significance or utility.
The rare pattern problem is a challenging and important issue in pattern mining, as rare patterns may represent unknown or hidden knowledge that can inform and inspire various domains and applications, such as medical diagnosis, fraud detection, or anomaly detection. Several studies have attempted to address this problem by mining frequent patterns, including rare ones, using different minimum item support thresholds (MIS) for each item. This approach can generate a complete set of frequent patterns without losing any significant ones. However, this approach is also very costly and inefficient, as it may still produce many redundant or useless patterns that consume a lot of time and memory.
The primary objective of this project is to enhance an efficient and effective method for mining rare patterns, without generating the complete set of frequent patterns. The method is based on frequent closed itemset mining, which is a technique that can reduce the number of patterns by eliminating those that are included in other patterns with the same frequency. The method also aims to avoid generating a large number of rules, and instead, to discover only those rules that are rare and generate more actionable insights. Therefore, the method can mine only the most interesting patterns, which are those that are rare, closed, and have high utility or significance. The method can be applied to various data sets and domains, such as health data, where rare patterns may represent rare diseases, hidden connections, or complex interactions. The project aims to evaluate the performance and quality of the method, and to compare it with other existing methods for rare pattern mining. The project also aims to demonstrate the usefulness and impact of the method, and to show how it can discover novel and intriguing patterns that can drive meaningful change.

Completed projects
Our aim is to develop new processing concepts for exploiting the special characteristics of hardware accelerators in heterogeneous system architectures for classical and non-classical database systems. On the system management level, we want to research alternative query modeling concepts and mapping approaches that are better suited to capture the extended feature sets of heterogeneous hardware/software systems. On the hardware level, we will work on how processing engines for non-classical database systems can benefit from heterogeneous hardware and in which way processing engines mapped across device boundaries may provide benefits for query optimization. Our working hypothesis is that standard query mapping approaches with their consideration of queries on the level of individual operators is not sufficient to explore the extended processing features of heterogeneous system architectures. In the same way, implementing a complete operator on an individual device does not seem to be optimal to exploit heterogeneous systems. We base these claims on our results from the first project phase where we developed the ADAMANT architecture allowing a plug & play integration of heterogeneous hardware accelerators. We will extend ADAMANT by the proposed processing approaches in the second project phase and focus on how to utilize the extended feature sets of heterogeneous systems rather than how to set such systems up.
Duration: 01.01.2021 bis 31.12.2023
Heterogene Systemarchitekturen bestehend aus CPUs, GPUs und FPGAs bieten vielfältige Optimierungsmöglichkeiten im Vergleich zu rein CPU-basierten Systemen. Zur vollständigen Ausnutzung dieses Optimierungspotenzials reicht es jedoch nicht, bestehende Softwarekonzepte unverändert auf nicht-von-Neumann-Architekturen wie beispielsweise FPGAs zu übertragen. Vielmehr erfordern die zusätzlichen Verarbeitungsmöglichkeiten dieser Architekturen den Entwurf neuartiger Verarbeitungskonzepte. Dies ist bereits in der Planung der Anfrageverarbeitung zu berücksichtigen. In der ersten Projektphase entwickelten wir hierfür bereits ein erstes Konzept, welches die gerätespezifischen Merkmale in unserer Plug’n’Play Architektur berücksichtigt. Allerdings sehen wir die Notwendigkeit zu dessen Weiterentwicklung, um eine noch bessere Ausnutzung der spezifischen Eigenschaften der Hardwarearchitekturen zu erreichen. Für die zweite Projektphase stellen wir daher die Hypothese auf, dass bekannte Verfahren zur Abbildung von Anfragen auf der Ebene einzelner Operatoren nicht ausreichen sind, um die erweiterten Verarbeitungsmöglichkeiten heterogener Systemarchitekturen auszunutzen.
Unser Ziel ist daher die Erforschung neuartiger Verarbeitungskonzepte und Verfahren zur Abbildung von Anfragen für heterogene Systeme, welche von der üblicherweise verwendeten Granularität auf Ebene einzelner Operatoren abweichen. Wir werden Verarbeitungseinheiten entwickeln, die eine größere Funktionalität als einzelne Operatoren bereitstellen und sich über mehrere Geräte hinweg erstrecken. Diese Verarbeitungseinheiten sind in sich heterogen und kombinieren die spezifischen Eigenschaften einzelner Architekturen. Im Ergebnis ermöglicht unsere heterogene Systemarchitektur das Bereitstellen von Datenbankoperationen und Funktionen, die in klassischen Datenbanksystemen nicht verfügbar oder nicht effizient realisierbar sind.
Zu Demonstrationszwecken haben wir drei Anwendungsfälle identifiziert, welche von heterogenen Systemarchitekturen stark profitieren können: Verarbeitung von Datenströmen mit hohem Aufkommen, approximative Anfrageverarbeitung und dynamische Multianfrageverarbeitung. Hochvolumige Datenströme erfordern eine Hardwarearchitektur, die eine Verarbeitung der Daten ohne vorherige Zwischenspeicherung ermöglicht. Dafür stellen FPGAs eine vielversprechende Plattform durch ihr datenstrombasiertes Verarbeitungsprinzip dar. Darüber hinaus eignen sich sowohl FPGAs als auch GPUs für approximierende Anfragenverarbeitungen, da sie arithmetische Operationen mit reduzierter Genauigkeit und die Realisierung von approximativen, hardwarebeschleunigten Samplingtechniken ermöglichen. Die dynamische Multianfrageverarbeitung ist aus Systemsicht sehr anspruchsvoll, da variable Systemlasten die Effizienz zuvor aufgestellter Anfragepläne reduzieren können. Hier ermöglichen die zahlreichen Parallelitätsebenen in heterogenen Systemen eine bessere Verteilung der Systemlasten.
A ranking-based automated approach for supporting Literature Review research methodologies.
Duration: 01.07.2020 bis 30.06.2023
Literature reviews in general are methodologies of research which aim to gather and evaluate available evidence regarding a specific research topic. A common scientific method for performing this literature reviews is Systematic Literature Review (SLR). Another method is called Systematic mapping study (SMS). Their process if conducted manually can be very time and effort consuming. Therefore, multiple tools and approaches were proposed in order to facilitate several stages of this process. In this PhD thesis, we aim to evaluate the quality of these literature reviews studies using combined aspects. We measure the quality of the study`s included primary selected papers by combining social and academic Influence in a recursive way. Additionally, we will apply a machine learning ranking model based on a similarity function that is built upon bibliometrics and Altmetrics quality criteria and full text relevancy. In order to achieve the proposed approach, we begin with investigating the current state of the art in different directions, mainly the most effective and commonly used quality measures of publications, Altmetrics, Bibliometrics and machine learning text related techniques. A method for assessing the quality of these literature reviews research methods, would definitely be useful for the scientific research community in general, as It would save valuable time and reduce tremendous required effort.
Digitales Programmieren im Team - Adaptive Unterstützung für kollaboratives Lernen
Duration: 01.03.2020 bis 28.02.2023
Das kollaborative Programmieren ist Kernbestandteil des beruflichen Alltags in der Informatik. Diese auf einer technischen und sozialen Ebene komplexen Vorgänge werden im Informatikstudium oftmals abstrakt behandelt und spielen in Fachkonzepten zum Programmierenlernen eine untergeordnete Rolle. Im Rahmen von Gruppenarbeiten müssen sich die Lernenden organisieren, koordinieren und ihre Lernprozesse regulieren - kognitiv anspruchsvolle Tätigkeiten. Um das Potential kollaborativer Lernformen für das Erlernen von Programmiersprachen und die Förderung sozialer Kompetenzen ausschöpfen zu können, müssen die Lernenden bei Bedarf didaktische Unterstützung erhalten, sowohl vor dem als auch während des Lernprozesses. Im Teilprojekt DiP-iT-OVGU werden wir - unterstützt durch die Projektpartner - auf der Basis empirischer Studien ein digitales Fachkonzept zum kollaborativen Programmierenlernen entwickeln und evaluieren, welches diesbezügliche (medien-)didaktische Ansätze enthält. Dabei zielen wir auf die Ermöglichung des Transfers an andere Hochschulen. Auf informationstechnischer Ebene wird hierfür ein Prozessmodell entwickelt, das die Nachnutzbarkeit von Forschungsdaten und die Übertragbarkeit von Datenmodellen (z.B. zur adaptiven didaktischen Unterstützung) in andere Lehrveranstaltungen bzw. Lehr-Lernsysteme ermöglicht. Das Teilprojekt ordnet sich in das Gesamtprojekt mit folgenden Zielstellungen ein:
- Analyse und Systematisierung von Einstellungen und Vorerfahrungen bei den Akteuren,
- Entwicklung konzeptioneller, mediendidaktischer Kriterien für die Einbindung kollaborativen Programmierenlernens in Lehrveranstaltungen,
- Entwicklung geeigneter Lehr-Lern-Szenarien und Erstellung eines diesbezüglichen digitalen Fachkonzepts,
- empirische Fundierung durch formative und summative Evaluation,
- Untersuchung der Effektivität von Formen der instruktionalen Anleitung angelehnt an die Bedarfe der Lernenden,
- Unterstützung des Transfers der Erkenntnisse, inhaltlich und technisch.

Query Acceleration Techniques in Co-Processor-Accelerated Main-memory Database Systems
Duration: 31.08.2019 bis 31.03.2022
Das Projekt adressiert den aktuellen Schwerpunkt von Analysen in Hauptspeicherdatenbanken auf moderner Hardware: Heterogenität der Prozessoren und deren Einbindung in die Anfrageverarbeitung. Aufgrund der Vielzahl von Optimierungen und Varianten von Algorithmen und unbegrenzte Anzahl an Anwendungsfällen, ist das Erstellen des perfekten Anfrageplanes nahezu unmöglich.
Ziel der Habilitation ist es, (1) einen umfassenden Katalog von vielversprechenden Algorithmenvarianten aufzustellen, (2) eine optimale Auswahl der Varianten im Zuge der übergeordneten Anfrageoptimierung zu erlangen, (3) als auch Lastverteilung im Co-Prozessorbeschleunigten System zu erreichen.
- Der Variantenkatalog umfasst als weitere Dimensionen sowohl die Ausführung auf den spaltenorientierten Daten, als auch unter Nutzung von speziellen Indexstrukturen und beinhaltet unterschiedliche Ergebnisrepräsentationen. Aus allen möglichen Dimension wird dann eine Abstraktionsschicht entwickelt, sodass ein Algorithmus unabhängig von dessen Optimierungen definiert werden kann. Dadurch soll jede Variante effizient, mit wenig redundantem Code generiert und ausgeführt werden können.
- Aufgrund des enormen Variantenraumes bestehend aus den Dimensionen der Varianten inklusive dem Einfluss der ausführenden Prozessoren ist die Wahl einer auszuführenden Variante nicht trivial. Ziel ist es hier lern-basierte Methoden in Hinblick auf die Eignung zur Algorithmenauswahl gegenüber zu stellen, um valide Entscheidungen zu treffen. Die zu treffenden Entscheidungen sollen des Weiteren auch ausgeweitet werden auf das Erstellen von Indexen als auch der Datenverteilung in Ziel (3).
- Die Lastenverteilung in Co-Prozessorbeschleunigten Systemen wird durch den Grad der Parallelisierung beeinflusst. Dieser Grad teilt sich in mehrere Dimensionen, da Datenbankoperationen in kleinere Funktionseinheiten (sog. Primitive) aufteilen können. Diese Primitive können entweder auf dem ganzen Datenbestand laufen oder partitioniert ausgeführt werden. All diese Optimierungspotentiale (unterschiedliche Granularitätsstufen und Partitionierungsgrößen) müssen analysiert und optimal gewählt werden, um unter der gegebenen und zukünftigen Anfragelast eine angemessene Performanz zu ermöglichen. Ziel ist es, ein Modell lernen zu lassen, um optimale Verteilungen und optimierte Pläne zu erstellen. Wichtig ist hierbei, dass das Modell auch Rückschlüsse auf dessen Entscheidungen zulässt, um eine Generalisierbarkeit zu erreichen.
EXtracting Product Lines from vAriaNTs (EXPLANT II)
Duration: 01.09.2019 bis 28.02.2022
Eine Software-Produktlinie (SPL) ermöglicht die systematische Verwaltung einer Menge von wiederverwendbaren Softwareartefakten und damit die effiziente Generierung verschiedener Varianten einer Software. In der Praxis erstellen Entwickler jedoch häufig Softwarevarianten ad-hoc, indem sie Softwareartefakte kopieren und an neue Anforderungen anpassen (Clone-and-Own). Die hierbei fehlende Systematik und Automatisierung macht die Wartung und Weiterentwicklung der Varianten oft zeitaufwendig und fehleranfällig. Wir schlagen daher eine schrittweise Migration von geklonten Softwarevarianten in eine kompositionale (d.h. modular aufgebaute) SPL vor.
In der ersten Projektphase konnten wir bereits beachtliche Ergebnisse bei der Varianten-erhaltenden Transformation und den entsprechenden Analysen auf Modell- und Codeebene erzielen. In der zweiten Phase wollen wir nun auf den daraus gewonnenen Erkenntnisse aufbauen. Dies sind im Besonderen: (1) Eine nur auf Code-Klon Detektion basierende automatisierte Migration erzeugt keine kohärenten Softwareartefakte mit einer bestimmten Funktionalität. (2) Einige potentielle Kooperationspartner hatten Bedenken ihre Systeme zu migrieren, da sie die Einführung neuer Fehler befürchten. (3) Annotative SPL scheinen weniger fehleranfällig und somit robuster gegenüber Änderungen zu sein, als bisher angenommen.
Aufgrund der Probleme mit industriellen Partnern (2) kamen wir zu dem Schluss, dass weitere Forschungen, insbesondere zur Qualitätssicherung von migrierten SPL, Überführungskosten und Eigenschaften von Softwareartefakten notwendig sind. Wir wollen daher untersuchen, welche Kostenfaktoren bei der Überführung und beim Einsatz von SPL eine Rolle spielen und wie stark deren Einfluss jeweils ist. Weiterhin planen wir Qualitätsmetriken für migrierte SPL aufzuzeigen. In der ersten Projektphase haben wir bereits einen teil-automatisierten Migrationsprozess vorgeschlagen (1), welchen wir nun weiter ausbauen und neue Analysen integrieren wollen. Dabei wollen wir vor Allem untersuchen, ob sich nützliche Informationen, insbesondere über die Intention der Entwickler, aus weiteren Quellen, als dem Code beziehen lassen. Vielversprechende Ansätze sind hier die Analyse von Versionsverwaltungssystemen und die Analyse von existierenden Verhaltens- und Architektur-Modellen eines Systems. Des Weiteren haben wir vor, zur Steigerung des Automatisierungsgrads weitere Refactorings, wie z.B. "Move Method" einzusetzen. Um die Struktur und damit auch die Wartbarkeit der resultierenden Modularisierung zu verbessern, planen wir außerdem unseren Migrationsprozess auf Multi-Software-Produktlinien zu erweitern. Dadurch ließen sich einzelne Funktionalitäten eines Systems besser auftrennen. Ebenfalls wollen wir untersuchen, welche Granularität für migrierte Softwareartefakte am besten geeignet ist und ob annotative Verfahren (3) für migrierte SPL Vorteile gegenüber kompositionalen Verfahren bringen können.
MetaProteomeAnalyzer Service (MetaProtServ)
Duration: 01.12.2016 bis 31.12.2021
Targeting cellular functions metaproteomics complements metagenomics and metatranscriptomics as tools widely applied in microbial ecology (e.g. human gut microbiome, biogas plants). Bioinformatic
tools developed for proteomics of pure cultures cannot satisfactorily deal with metagenome sequences required for protein identification in microbial communities and with redundancies in search results with respect to taxonomy and function of identified proteins. In order to exploit more information from current metaproteome datasets the MetaProteomAnalyzer (MPA) software was developed. Within MetaProtServ the GUI based MPA will be deployed as a webservice convincing more scientists from benefits of metaproteomics . Usability and maintainability of the software will be increased as the standalone MPA and webservice finally hosted at BiGi will have the same architecture and share the same code base. The MPA will be extended to support standard interfaces for import and export (mzIdentML) of metaproteomic datasets. Training and support for the scientific community will be intensified for different levels of users including experts and developers.
COOPeR: Cross-device OLTP/OLAP PRocessing
Duration: 01.09.2016 bis 30.06.2021
Database Management Systems (DBMS) face two challenges today. On the one hand DBMS must handle Online Transaction Processing (OLTP), and Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) in combination to enable real-time analysis of business processes. The real-time analysis of business processes is necessary to improve the quality of reports and analyzes, since fresh data is favored for modern analysis rather than historical data only. On the other hand, computer systems become increasingly heterogeneous to provide better hardware performance. The architecture changes from single-core CPUs to multi-core CPUs supported by several co-processors. These trends must be considered in DBMS to improve the quality and performance, and to ensure that DBMS satisfy future requirements (e.g., more complex queries, or more increased data volume). Unfortunately, current research approaches address only one of these two challenges: either the combination of OLTP and OLAP workloads in traditional CPU-based systems, or co-processor acceleration for a single workload type is considered. Therefore, an unified approach addressing both challenges at once is missing. In this project we want to include both challenges of DBMS to enable efficient processing of combined OLTP / OLAP workloads in hybrid CPU / Co-processor systems. This is necessary in order to realize real-time business intelligence. The main challenge is guaranteeing the ACID properties for OLTP, while at the same time to combine and to process efficiently OLTP / OLAP workloads in such a hybrid systems.
Recommending Cloned Features for Adopting Systematic Software Reuse
Duration: 01.05.2018 bis 30.04.2021
Organizations heavily rely on forking (or cloning) to implement customer-specific variants of a system. While this approach can have several disadvantages, organizations fear to extract reusable features later on, due to the corresponding efforts and risks. A particularly challenging, yet poorly supported, task is to decide what features to extract. To tackle this problem, we aim to develop an analysis system that proposes suitable features based on automated analyses of the cloned legacy systems. To this end, we are concerned with a several closely related research areas: Cost modeling for software product lines; empirical studies on system evolution, processes, and human factors; as well as concepts to derive reusable features from clones based on, for example, feature location and code clone detection.
Adaptive Data Management in Evolving Heterogeneous Hardware/Software Systems
Duration: 01.10.2017 bis 31.12.2020
Currently, database systems face two big challenges: First, the application scenarios become more and more diverse ranging from purely relational to graph-shaped or stream-based data analysis. Second, the hardware landscape becomes more and more heterogeneous with standard multi-core Central Processing Units (CPUs) as well as specialized high-performance co-processors such as Graphics Processing Unit (GPUs) or Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs).
Recent research shows that operators designed for co-processors can outperform their CPU counterparts. However, most of the approaches focus on single-device processing to speedup single analyses not considering overall system performance. Consequently, they miss hidden performance potentials of parallel processing across all devices available in the system. Furthermore, current research results are hard to generalize and, thus, cannot be applied to other domains and devices.
In this project, we aim to provide integration concepts for diverse operators and heterogeneous hardware devices in adaptive database systems. We work on optimization strategies not only exploiting individual device-specific features but also the inherent cross-device parallelism in multi-device systems. Thereby we focus on operators from the relational and graph domain to derive concepts not limited to a certain application domain. To achieve the project goals, interfaces and abstraction concepts for operators and processing devices have to be defined. Furthermore, operator and device characteristics have to be made available to all system layers such that the software layer can account for device specific features and the hardware layer can adapt to the characteristics of the operators and data. The availability of device and operator characteristics is especially important for global query optimization to find a suitable execution strategy. Therefore, we also need to analyze the design space for query processing on heterogeneous hardware, in particular with regards to functional, data and cross-device parallelism. To handle the enormous complexity of the query optimization design space incurred by the parallelism, we follow a distributed optimization approach where optimization tasks are delegated to the lowest possible system layer. Lower layers also have a more precise view on device-specific features allowing to exploit them more efficiently. To avoid interferences of optimization decisions at different layers, a focus is also set on cross-layer optimizations strategies. These will incorporate learning-based techniques for evaluating optimization decisions at runtime to improve future optimization decisions. Moreover, we expect that learning-based strategies are best suited to integrate device-specific features not accounted for by the initial system design, such as it is often the case with the dynamic partial reconfiguration capabilities of FPGAs.
Efficient and Effective Entity Resolution Under Cloud-Scale Data
Duration: 01.07.2014 bis 30.04.2020
There might exist several different descriptions for one real-world entity. The differences may result from typographical errors, abbreviations, data formatting, etc. However, the different descriptions may lower data quality and lead to misunderstanding. Therefore, it is necessary to be able to resolve and clarify such different descriptions. Entity Resolution (ER) is a process to identify records that refer to the same real-world entity. It is also known under several other names. If the records to be identified are all located within a single source, it is called de-duplication. Otherwise, in the field of computer science it is also typically referred to data matching, record linkage, duplicate detection, reference reconciliation, object identification. In the database domain, ER is synonymous with similarity join. Today, ER plays a vital role in diverse areas, not only in the traditional applications of census, health data or national security, but also in the network applications of business mailing lists, online shopping, web searches, etc. It is also an indispensable step in data cleaning, data integration and data warehousing. The use of computer techniques to perform ER dates back to the middle of the last century. Since then, researchers have developed many techniques and algorithms for ER due to its extensive applications. In its early days, there are two general goals: efficiency and effectiveness, which means how fast and how accurately an ER task can be solved. In recent years, the rise of the web has led to the extension of techniques and algorithms for ER. Such web data (also known as big data) is often semi-structured, comes from diverse domains and exists on a very large scale. These three properties make big data qualitatively different from traditional data, which brings new challenges to ER that require new techniques or algorithms as solutions. To be specific, specialized similarity measures are required for semi-structured data; cross-domain techniques are needed to handle data from diverse domains; parallel techniques are needed to make algorithms not only efficient and effective, but also scalable, so as to be able to deal with the large scale of the data. This project focuses on the last point: parallelize the process of entity resoution. The specific research direction is to explore several big data processing frameworks to know their advantages and disadvantages on performing ER.
Software Product Line Feature Extraction from Natural Language Documents using Machine Learning Techniques
Duration: 11.05.2016 bis 29.02.2020
Feature model construction from the requirements or textual descriptions of products can be often tedious and ineffective. In this project, through automatically learning natural language documents of products, cluster tight-related requirements into features in the phase of domain analysis based on machine learning techniques. This method can assist the developer by suggesting possible features, and improve the efficiency and accuracy of feature modeling to a certain extent.
This research will focus on feature extraction from requirements or textual descriptions of products in domain analysis. Extract the descriptors from requirements or textual descriptions of products. Then, descriptors are transformed into vectors and form a word vector space. Based on clustering algorithm, a set of descriptors are clustered into features. Their relationships will be inferred. Design the simulation experiment of feature extraction from natural language documents of products to prove that it can handle feature-extracting in terms of machine learning techniques.
Every company needs to be compliant with national and international laws and regulations. Unfortunately, staying complied is a challenging tasks based on the volume and velocity of laws and regulations. Furthermore, laws are often incomplete or inconclusive, whereby also court judgments need to be considered for compliance. Hence, companies in different sectors, e.g. energy, transport, or finance, are spending millions of dollars every year to ensure compliance each year. In this project, we want to automate the process of identifying and analyzing the impact of (changing) laws, regulations, and court judgments using a combination of Information Retrieval, Data Mining and Scalable Data Management techniques. Based on the automated identification and impact analysis, not only the costs for compliance can be reduced, but also the quality can be increased.

GPU-accelerated Join-Order Optimization
Duration: 01.10.2016 bis 09.11.2019
Different join orders can lead to a variation of execution times by several orders of magnitude, which makes join-order optimization to one of the most critical optimizations within DBMSs. At the same time, join-order optimization is an NP-hard problem, which makes the computation of an optimal join-order highly compute-intensive. Because current hardware architectures use highly specialized and parallel processors, the sequential algorithms for join-order optimization proposed in the past cannot fully utilize the computational power of current hardware architectures. Although existing approaches for join-order optimization such as dynamic programming benefit from parallel execution, there are no approaches for join-order optimization on highly parallel co-processors such as GPUs.
In this project, we are building a GPU-accelerated join-order optimizer by adapting existing join-order optimization approaches. Here, we are interested in the effects of GPUs on join-order optimization itself as well as the effects for query processing. For GPU-accelerated DBMSs, such as CoGaDB, using GPUs for query processing, we need to identify efficient scheduling strategies for query processing and query optimization tasks such that the GPU-accelerated optimization does not
slow down query processing on GPUs.
(Semi)-Automatic Approach to Support Literature Analysis for Software Engineers
Duration: 01.11.2017 bis 31.10.2019
Researchers perform literature reviews to synthesize existing evidence regarding a research topic. While being important means to condense knowledge, conducting a literature analysis, particularly, systematic literature review, requires a large amount of time and effort. Consequently, researchers are considering semi-automatic approaches to facilitate different stages of the review process. Surveys have shown that two of the most time consuming tasks within the literature review process are: to select primary studies and to assess their quality. To assure quality and reliability of the findings from a literature study, the quality of included primary studies must be evaluated. Despite being critical stages, these still lack the support of semi-automatic tools and hence, mostly performed manually. In this PhD thesis, we aim to address this gap in the current state of research and develop techniques that support the selection and assessment of primary studies for literature analyses. For the assessment of studies, we begin with exploring the information available from the digital libraries most commonly used by software engineering researchers, such as, the ACM Digital Library, IEEE Xplore, Science Direct, Springer Link, Web of Science. The information regarding authors, citation counts and publication venues are particularly important as these can provide an initial insight about the studies. Hence, a tool that captures such bibliographic information from the digital libraries and score the studies based on defined quality metrics, would certainly be beneficial to accelerate the process. However, for accurate assessment, the approach could be further extended to an in-depth full text investigation. We believe, developing such a strategy would indeed be useful for researchers conducting literature analyses, particularly software engineers, or any other research domain.
Graph-Based Analysis of Highly-Configurable Systems
Duration: 01.11.2015 bis 01.11.2018
Todays's software systems are getting more complex every day and contain an increasing number of configuration options to customize their behavior. Developers of these highly-configurable systems face the challenge of finding faults within the variable source code and maintaining it without introducing new ones.
In order to understand variable source code of even medium-sized systems developers have to rely on multiple analysis techniques. However, current analysis techniques often do not scale well with the
number of configuration options or utilize heuristics which lead to results that are less reliable.
We propose an alternative approach for analyzing highly-configurable systems based on graph theory.
Both variability models, which describe a system's configuration options and their interdependencies, and variable source code can be represented by graph-like data structures.
Therefore, we want to introduce novel analysis techniques based on well-known graph algorithms and evaluate them regrading their result quality and performance during runtime.
Secure Data Outsourcing to Untrusted Clouds
Duration: 01.10.2014 bis 30.09.2018
Cloud storage solutions are being offered by many big vendors like Google, Amazon & IBM etc. The need of Cloud Storage has been driven by the generation of Big Data in almost every corporation. The biggest hurdle in outsourcing data to Cloud Data vendors is the Security Concern of the data owners. These security concerns have become the stumbling block in large scale adoption of Third Party Cloud Databases. The focus of this PhD project is to give a comprehensive framework for the Security of Outsourced Data to Untrusted Clouds. This framework includes Encrypted Storage in Cloud Databases, Secure Data Access, Privacy of Data Access & Authenticity of Stored Data in the Cloud. This security framework will be based on Hadoop based open source projects.
On the Impact of Hardware on Relational Query Processing
Duration: 01.09.2013 bis 31.08.2018
Satisfying the performance needs of tomorrow typically implies using modern processor capabilities (such as single instruction, multiple data) and co-processors (such as graphics processing units) to accelerate database operations. Algorithms are typically hand-tuned to the underlying (co-)processors. This solution is error-prone, introduces high implementation and maintenance cost and is not portable to other (co-)processors. To this end, we argue for a combination of database research with modern software-engineering approaches, such as feature-oriented software development (FOSD). Thus, the goal of this project is to generate optimized database algorithms tailored to the underlying (co-)processors from a common code base. With this, we maximize performance while minimizing implementation and maintenance effort in databases on new hardware. Project milestones:
- Creating a feature model: Arising from heterogeneous processor capabilities, promising capabilities have to be identified and structured to develop a comprehensive feature model. This includes fine-grained features that exploit the processor capabilities of each device.
- Annotative vs. compositional FOSD approaches: Both approaches have known benefits and drawbacks. To have a suitable mechanism to construct hardware-tailored database algorithms using FOSD, we have to evaluate which of these two approaches is the best for our scenario.
- Mapping features to code: Arising from the feature model, possible code snippets to implement a feature have to be identified.
- Performance evaluation: To validate our solution and derive rules for processor allocation and algorithm selection, we have to perform an evaluation of our algorithms.
Model-Based Refinement of Product Lines
Duration: 01.04.2015 bis 31.03.2018
Software product lines are families of related software systems that are developed by taking variability into account during the complete development process. In model-based refinement methods (e.g., ASM, Event-B, Z, VDM), systems are developed by stepwise refinement of an abstract, formal model.
In this project, we develop concepts to combine model-based refinement methods and software product lines. On the one hand, this combination aims to improve the cost-effectiveness of applying formal methods by taking advantage of the high degree of reuse provided by software product lines. On the other hand, it helps to handle the complexity of product lines by providing means to detect defects on a high level of abstraction, early in the development process.
EXtracting Product Lines from vAriaNTs (EXPLANT)
Duration: 16.02.2016 bis 15.02.2018
Software product lines enable the strategic reuse of software and handle variability in a systematic way. In practice, however, reuse and variability are often implemented ad hoc, by copying and adapting artifacts (the clone-and-own approach). Due to a lack of automation, propagating changes (e.g. error corrections, performance improvements) to several cloned product variants and exchanging functionality between variants is time-consuming and error prone.
To solve these problems, we propose the stepwise migration of cloned product variants to a compositional software product line (SPL). First, all of the variants are integrated unaltered into an initial SPL. Subsequently, this SPL is transformed into a well-structured, modular target SPL by means of small, semantics-preserving steps. Compared to existing approaches to migrate product variants to an SPL, this course of action provides the following advantages:
1) The SPL can be used in production immediately. Up until now, production had to be halted for extended periods of time because migration could not be interrupted.
2) The composition-based implementation approach supports maintainability. This avoids the problems associated with annotation-based SPL implementation techniques (e. g. lack of modularization, hard to read program code), which are widely used in practice.
3) Semantics-preservation of the original variants is guaranteed.
The core of our project is the research of variant-preserving refactoring. By this, we mean consistent transformations on the model as well as the implementation level, which are semantics-preserving with respect to all possible products of the SPL. These refactorings are combined with code clone detection in order to increase reuse and thereby decrease maintenance costs and future defect rates. Moreover, we will research feature location techniques in multiple product variants. Combined with variant-preserving refactoring, these techniques allow for the stepwise extraction of functionality from multiple product variants. Not only can we reconstruct the original variants by composing the extracted features, but we can even create new variants. Thereby, new requirements are addressed even more effectively.
A Personalized Recommender System for Product-Line Configuration
Duration: 15.01.2015 bis 31.12.2017
Today s competitive marketplace requires industries to understand the unique and particular needs of their customers. Software product line enables industries to create individual products for every customer by providing an interdependent set of features that can be configured to form personalized products. However, as most features are interdependent, users need to understand the impact of their gradual decisions in order to make the most appropriate choices. Thus, especially when dealing with large feature models, specialized assistance is needed to guide the users personalizing valid products. In this project, we aim using recommender system and search-based software engineering techniques to handle the product configuration process in large and complex product lines.
Software Product Line Testing
Duration: 01.10.2013 bis 30.09.2017
Exhaustively testing every product of a software product line (SPL) is a difficult task due to the combinatorial explosion of the number of products. Combinatorial interaction testing is a technique to reduce the number of products under test. In this project, we aim to handle multiple and possibly conflicting objectives during the test process of SPL.
Southeast Asia Research Network: Digital Engineering
Duration: 01.06.2013 bis 31.05.2017
German research organizations are increasingly interested in outstanding Southeast Asian institutions as partners for collaboration in the fields of education and research. Bilateral know-how, technology transfer and staff exchange as well as the resultant opportunities for collaboration are strategically important in terms of research and economics. Therefore, the establishment of a joint research structure in the field of digital engineering is being pursued in the project "SEAR DE Thailand" under the lead management of Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg (OvGU) in cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute for Factory Operation and Automation (IFF) and the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) in Thailand.
Modern Data Management Technologies for Genome Analysis
Duration: 01.12.2013 bis 31.12.2016
Genome analysis is an important method to improve disease detection and treatment. The introduction of next generation sequencing techniques allows to generate genome data for genome analysis in less time and at reasonable cost. In order to provide fast and reliable genome analysis, despite ever increasing amounts of genome data, genome data management and analysis techniques must also improve. In this project, we develop concepts and approaches to use modern database management systems (e.g., column-oriented, in-memory database management systems) for genome analysis. Project's scope:
- Identification and evaluation of genome analysis use cases suitable for database support
- Development of data management concepts for genome analysis using modern database technology with regard to chosen use cases and data management aspects such as data integration, data integrity, data provenance, data security
- Development of efficient data structures for querying and processing genome data in databases for defined use cases
- Exploiting modern hardware capabilities for genome data processing
Nachhaltiges Variabilitätsmanagement von Feature-orientierten Software-Produktlinien (NaVaS)
Duration: 01.09.2014 bis 31.08.2016
Die Verwendung von Produktlinientechnologie, wie sie beispielsweise in der Automobilbranche seit Jahrzehnten erfolgreich eingesetzt wird, bietet enormes Potential um die Softwareentwicklung zu revolutionieren. Angelehnt an die Wiederverwendung von Motortypen, die mit verschiedenen Karosserien eines Automobilherstellers kombiniert werden können, ermöglichen Softwareproduktlinien die Erstellung von maßgeschneiderten Softwareprodukten auf der Basis gemeinsamer Softwarebestandteile. Ziel des Projektes NaVaS ist es daher, die Entwicklung von Softwareprodukten auf der Basis von Softwareproduktlinien zu vereinfachen und somit die Etablierung dieser Entwicklungstechnologie voranzutreiben.
Kernarbeit des Projektes
Zur Unterstützung der Entwicklung von Softwareproduktlinien wird im Projekt NaVaS eine Softwareentwicklungsumgebung zur Erstellung von Produktlinien entwickelt. Diese basiert auf einem bereits bestehenden Forschungsdemonstrator und wird sowohl funktional und auch aus Anwendersicht den Anforderungen im kommerziellen Gewerbe und der Forschung angepasst. Hierbei werden langjährige Erfahrung bei der Entwicklung maßgeschneiderter Software seitens der METOP GmbH und der Erforschung alternativer Technologien seitens der Universität Magdeburg verschmolzen und deren Praktikabilität mit Hilfe von geeigneten assoziierten Partnern aus Industrie und Forschung sichergestellt. Die Bereitstellung einer Entwicklungsumgebung für Softwareproduktlinien, entsprechend des Forschungsdemonstrators, eröffnet somit neue Möglichkeiten. Entwicklungszeiten würden sich stark verkürzen und damit Produkte schneller am Markt verfügbar sein. Durch den zusätzlich geringeren Wartungsaufwand könnten weitere Kosten eingespart werden.

query optimization, query processing, gpu-accelerated datamangement, self-tuning
Duration: 01.04.2014 bis 31.03.2015
Performance demands for database systems are ever increasing and a lot of research focus on new approaches to fulfill performance requirements of tomorrow. GPU acceleration is a new arising and promising opportunity to speed up query processing of database systems by using low cost graphic processors as coprocessors. One major challenge is how to combine traditional database query processing with GPU coprocessing techniques and efficient database operation scheduling in a GPU aware query optimizer. In this project, we develop a Hybrid Query Processing Engine, which extends the traditional physical optimization process to generate hybrid query plans and to perform a cost based optimization in a way that the advantages of CPUs and GPUs are combined. Furthermore, we aim at a database architecture and data model independent solution to maximize applicability.
- HyPE-Library
- HyPE is a hybrid query processing engine build for automatic selection of processing units for coprocessing in database systems. The long-term goal of the project is to implement a fully fledged query processing engine, which is able to automatically generate and optimize a hybrid CPU/GPU physical query plan from a logical query plan. It is a research prototype developed by the Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg in collaboration with Ilmenau University of Technology
- CoGaDB
- CoGaDB is a prototype of a column-oriented GPU-accelerated database management system developed at the University of Magdeburg. Its purpose is to investigate advanced coprocessing techniques for effective GPU utilization during database query processing. It uses our hybrid query processing engine (HyPE) for the physical optimization process.
Clustering the Cloud - A Model for Self-Tuning of Cloud Datamanagement Systems
Duration: 01.10.2011 bis 31.03.2015
Over the past decade, cloud data management systems became increasingly popular, because they provide on-demand elastic storage and large-scale data analytics in the cloud. These systems were built with the main intention of supporting scalability and availability in an easily maintainable way. However, the (self-) tuning of cloud data management systems to meet specific requirements beyond these basic properties and for possibly heterogeneous applications becomes increasingly complex. Consequently, the self-management ideal of cloud computing is still to be achieved for cloud data management. The focus of this PhD project is (self-) tuning for cloud data management clusters that are serving one of more applications with divergent workload types. It aims to achieve dynamic clustering to support workload based optimization. Our approach is based on logical clustering within a DB cluster based on different criteria such as: data, optimization goal, thresholds, and workload types.
Analysis Strategies for Software Product Lines
Duration: 01.02.2010 bis 31.12.2014
Software-product-line engineering has gained considerable momentum in recent years, both in industry and in academia. A software product line is a set of software products that share a common set of features. Software product lines challenge traditional analysis techniques, such as type checking, testing, and formal verification, in their quest of ensuring correctness and reliability of software. Simply creating and analyzing all products of a product line is usually not feasible, due to the potentially exponential number of valid feature combinations. Recently, researchers began to develop analysis techniques that take the distinguishing properties of software product lines into account, for example, by checking feature-related code in isolation or by exploiting variability information during analysis. The emerging field of product-line analysis techniques is both broad and diverse such that it is difficult for researchers and practitioners to understand their similarities and differences (e.g., with regard to variability awareness or scalability), which hinders systematic research and application. We classify the corpus of existing and ongoing work in this field, we compare techniques based on our classification, and we infer a research agenda. A short-term benefit of our endeavor is that our classification can guide research in product-line analysis and, to this end, make it more systematic and efficient. A long-term goal is to empower developers to choose the right analysis technique for their needs out of a pool of techniques with different strengths and weaknesses.
Consistent data management for cloud gaming
Duration: 01.07.2012 bis 31.12.2014
Cloud storage systems are able to meet the future requirements of the Internet by using non-relational database management systems (NoSQL DBMS). NoSQL system simplifies the relational database schema and the data model to improve system performances, such as system scalability and parallel processing. However, such properties of cloud storage systems limit the implementation of some Web applications like massively multi-player online games (MMOG). In the research described here, we want to expand existing cloud storage systems in order to meet requirements of MMOG. We propose to build up a transaction layer on the cloud storage layer to offer flexible ACID levels. As a goal the transaction processing should be offered to game developers as a service. Through the use of such an ACID level model both the availability of the existing system and the data consistency during the interactivity of multi-player can be converted according to specific requirements.
Load-balanced Index Structures for Self-tuning DBMS
Duration: 01.01.2010 bis 31.12.2014
Index tuning as part of database tuning is the task of selecting and creating indexes with the goal of reducing query processing times. However, in dynamic environments with various ad-hoc queries it is difficult to identify potentially useful indexes in advance. The approach for self-tuning index cogurations developed in previous research provides a solution for continuous tuning on the level of index configurations, where configurations are a set of common index structures. In this project we investigate a novel approach, that moves the solution of the problem at hand to the level of the index structures, i.e. to create index structures which have an inherently self-optimizing structure.
Minimal-invasive integration of the provenance concern into data-intensive systems
Duration: 01.11.2013 bis 31.12.2014
In the recent past a new research topic named provenance gained much attention. The purpose of provenance is to determine origin and derivation history of data. Thus, provenance is used, for instance, to validate and explain computation results. Due to the digitalization of previously analogue process that consume data from heterogeneous sources and increasing complexity of respective systems, it is a challenging task to validate computation results. To face this challenge there has been plenty of research resulting in solutions that allow for capturing of provenance data. These solutions cover a broad variety of approaches reaching from formal approaches defining how to capture provenance for relational databases, high-level data models for linked data in the web, to all-in-one solutions to support management of scientific work ows. However, all these approaches have in common that they are tailored for their specific use case. Consequently, provenance is considered as an integral part of these approaches that can hardly be adjusted for new user requirements or be integrated into existing systems. We envision that provenance, which highly needs to be adjusted to the needs of specific use cases, should be a cross-cutting concern that can seamlessly be integrated without interference with the original system.
MultiPLe - Multi Software Product Lines
Duration: 01.03.2012 bis 31.10.2014
Aus der zunehmenden Verbreitung von Softwareproduktlinien resultieren Multi-Software-Produktlinien (kurz Multiproduktlinien), komplexe Softwaresysteme, die aus einer Vielzahl voneinander abhängigen Softwareproduktlinien erstellt werden. Ziel des Projektes ist die Erarbeitung von Konzepten und Methoden zur systematischen Entwicklung von Multiproduktlinien. Schwerpunkt der zweiten Projektphase ist die Verallgemeinerung entwickelter Konzepte, um Kompositionssicherheit und Interoperabilität in heterogenen Multiproduktlinien zu erreichen, die mit unterschiedlichen Programmierparadigmen und Variabilitätsmechanismen entwickelt werden. Dazu muss für alle gültigen Konfigurationen einer Multiproduktlinie sichergestellt werden, dass die Konfiguration der beteiligten Produktlinien aufeinander abgestimmt sind, so dass die von einer Produktlinie benötigte Funktionalität von einer anderen Produktlinie bereitgestellt wird (semantische Interoperabilität) und syntaktische Korrektheit z. B. von Methodenaufrufen (syntaktische Interoperabilität) garantiert wird. Ziel ist es daher, Kompositionssicherheit auf Modellebene zu erreichen, um von Implementierungsdetails zu abstrahieren, sowie Interoperabilität auf Implementierungsebene (z. B. Typsicherheit) über unterschiedliche Variabilitätsmechanismen hinweg zu garantieren. Nur so ist eine skalierende Anwendung der Produktlinientechnologie zur Entwicklung komplexer heterogener Softwaresysteme möglich.

ViERforES-II: Interoperabilität
Duration: 01.01.2011 bis 30.09.2013
Die Funktionalität neuer Produkte wird durch einen zunehmenden Anteil von Software in Form von Eingebetteten Systemen erzielt. Im Zusammenwirken mit anderen funktionsbestimmenden Komponenten komplexer technischer Systeme erfordert das neue Techologien zur Beherrschung von höchster Sicherheit und Zuverlässigkeit von Produktentwicklungen. Ziel von ViERforES ist es, durch Einsatz von Virtueller und Erweiterter Realität auch nicht physikalische Produkteigenschaften sichtbar zu machen und so adäquate Methoden und Werkzeuge für das Engineering zu entwickeln.
Die Bereitstellung von Lösungen zur gesamtheitlichen Betrachtung komplexer Produkte oder Anlagen in der Entwicklung, dem Tests und während des Betriebes stellt die Informationstechnik vor große Herausforderungen. Unter anderem müssen unabhängig voneinander modellierte Komponenten in einen Gesamtkontext eingebracht werden, wofür die virtuelle oder erweiterte Realität als integrierter Arbeitsbereich nutzbar gemacht werden kann. Ziel des Teilprojektes "Interoperabilität für digitale Produkte mit eingebetteten Systemen" ist daher die Sicherstellung der Interoperabilität der beteiligten heterogenen Systeme und der von diesen verwalteten Modelle. Dies reicht von der syntaktischen (verschiedene Schnittstellen, Datenmodelle, etc.) über die semantische (Bedeutung und Zusammenhang von unterschiedlich modellierten Daten und Funktionalitäten) bis zur pragmatischen Ebene (Verwendung durch Nutzer, Unterstützung von Arbeitsabläufen, Kooperation).
In der 2. Phase sollen insbesondere die nicht-funktionale Interoperabilität zwischen Systemen sowie die Interoperabilität zwischen heterogenen Simulationssystemen betrachtet werden.

In diesem Arbeitspaket des Teilprojekts "Vertrauenswürdige Systeme" wird die Zuverlässigkeit eingebetteter Systeme auf Quelltextebene mit Fokus auf Programmverständnis und Wartbarkeit untersucht. Es geht darum, Konzepte und Visualisierungen zur Verbesserung des Programmverständnisses zu untersuchen und zu implementieren. Ergebnis auf dieser Ebene soll eine prototypische Komponente für eine Entwicklungsumgebung sein, in der Konzepte zur optimalen Unterstützung des Programmverständnisses umgesetzt sind. Dadurch sollen z.B. Sicherheitslücken bereits auf Quelltextebene erkannt und behoben werden sowie die Wartung von Software unterstützt werden, sodass Wartungskosten gesenkt werden. Durch umfassende empirische Untersuchungen soll gezeigt werden, dass durch die umgesetzten Konzepte Gefährdungen der Security gesenkt werden können sowie die Wartung von Software veressert wird.
Virtuelle und Erweiterte Realität für höchste Sicherheit und Zuverlässigkeit Eingebetteter Systeme - Phase II (ViERforES II)
Duration: 01.01.2011 bis 30.09.2013
Unter dem Titel Virtuelle und Erweiterte Realität für höchste Sicherheit und Zuverlässigkeit eingebetteter Systeme (ViERforES) begann ein Verbund aus universitärer und anwendungsorientierter Forschung sich den Herausforderungen zu stellen, die der verstärkte Einsatz moderner Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien in den Anwendungsfeldern Automotive/Mobilität, Medizintechnik / Neurowissenschaften und Energiesysteme mit sich bringt.
Die Gemeinsamkeit der genannten drei Anwendungsfelder besteht darin, dass die in diesen Bereichen zu entwickelnden Produkte ihre Funktionalität durch einen wachsenden Anteil an Software realisieren. Damit die Produkte aus Deutschland weiterhin ihrem Anspruch an eine hohe Qualität und Zuverlässigkeit gerecht werden, ist es notwendig neue Methoden des Engineerings zu entwickeln. Die bisher etablierten Methoden der Produkt- und Prozessentwicklung müssen folglich auch auf das Software-Engineering erweitert werden.
Die erreichten Ergebnisse von ViERforES wurden durch den Aufbau von Demonstratoren in jedem Anwendungsfeld gezeigt. Dadurch konnten Industrieunternehmen gewonnen werden, die das Projektkonsortium in dem nun anschließenden Projekt ViERforES II verstärken. Ihre Aufgabe ist es, die anwendungsnahe Weiterentwicklung der Demonstratoren zu unterstützen, so dass die Funktionserprobung ihrer Produkte und Prozesse zukünftig in einer virtuellen Umgebung erfolgen kann.
Digi-Dak (Digitale Fingerspuren) - Teilprojekt "Datenvorverarbeitung und Datenhaltung"
Duration: 01.01.2010 bis 31.05.2013
Das Projekt Digi-Dak widmet sich der Erforschung von Mustererkennungstechniken für Fingerspuren, welche mittels berührungsloser optischer 3D Oberflächensensortechnik erfasst werden. Das generelle Ziel ist es, eine Verbesserung/Unterstützung der kriminalistischen Forensik (Daktyloskopie) zu erzielen. Insbesondere liegt der Fokus des Projektes dabei auf potentiellen Szenarien in präventiven und forensischen Prozessen, speziell auch für die Überlagerung von Spuren oder die Altersdetektion. Ziel des Teilprojektes Datenvorverarbeitung und Datenhaltung ist es, die erfassten (dreidimensionalen) Sensordaten aufzubereiten und so zu speichern, dass der automatisierte Prozess der Fingerspurenerfassung unterstützt bzw. verbessert wird. In diesem Rahmen werden Methoden zur effizienten Speicherung und Anfragebearbeitung von hochdimensionalen Daten erforscht. Darüber hinaus sollen Methoden und Konzepte erforscht werden, die die Beweiskraft der erfassten Fingerspuren auch nach deren Vor- bzw. Weiterverarbeitung gewährleisten.
Optimization and Self-Tuning Approaches for Data Warehouses
Duration: 01.01.2011 bis 12.04.2013
Data-Warehouse-Systeme werden seit einiger Zeit für Markt- und Finanzanalysen in vielen Bereichen der Wirtschaft eingesetzt. Die Anwendungsgebiete dieser Systeme erweitern sich dabei ständig, und zusätzlich steigen die zu haltenenden Datenmengen (historischer Datenbestand) immer schneller an. Da es sich oft um sehr komplexe und zeitkritische Anwendungen handelt, müssen die Analysen und Berechnungen auf den Daten immer weiter optimiert werden. Dazu allein reicht die stetig steigende Leistung von Rechner- und Serversystemen nicht aus, da die Anwendungen immer neue Anforderungen und komplexer werdende Berechnungen benötigen. Dadurch wird auch klar, daß der zeitliche und finanzielle Aufwand zum Betrieb solcher Systeme immens ist.
Im Rahmen dieses Projekts soll untersucht werden, welche Möglichkeiten existieren, bisherige Ansätze zu erweitern und neue Vorschläge in bestehende System zu integrieren um die Leistung dieser zu steigern. Um dieses Ziel zu erreichen sollen Ansätze aus dem Bereich des Self-Tunings genutzt werden, denn so können die Systeme sich autonom an ständig ändernde Rahmenbedingungen und Anforderungen anpassen. Diese Ansätze sollen durch Erweiterungen wie zum Beispiel die Unterstützung von Bitmap-Indexen verbessert werden. Weiterhin soll Bezug genommen werden auf tiefere Ebenen der Optimierung, wodurch eine physische Optimierung möglich (autonom) und erleichtert werden soll.

MultiPLe - Multi Software Product Lines
Duration: 01.09.2009 bis 31.12.2011
The aim of the MultiPLe project is to develop and extend techniques and concepts for modeling, implementing, and configuring multiple interdependent product lines (MultiPLs). This includes new approaches for modeling dependencies between SPLs, extending techniques for SPL implementation, automation of SPL development, and optimization of MultiPLs. In this project, we focus on feature-oriented product line engineering and associated modeling techniques like feature-oriented domain analysis (FODA) as well as different implementation techniques like component based software development, frameworks, preprocessors (e.g., the C/C++ preprocessor), and feature-oriented programming (FOP)
COMO B3 - IT-Security Automotive
Duration: 01.09.2007 bis 31.08.2011
Immer mehr IT-Komponenten finden den Weg in ein (Kraft)-Fahrzeug, sei es zur Steigerung des Komforts oder der Sicherheit. Die entsprechenden autarken Steuergeräte kommunizieren dabei über verschiedene Bussysteme und begründen dabei das IT-System Automobil. Durch das erhöhte Aufkommen von Kommunikation (auch über externe Schnittstellen, z.B. car-2-car) steigt sowohl das Sicherheitsrisiko/-bedürfnis als auch die zu verarbeitenden Daten.
Im Teilprojekt B3 des Forschungsprojektes COmpetence in MObility (COMO) sollen daher Konzepte für das automotive System geschaffen werden, um sowohl die Sicherheit im Auto dauerhaft zu gewaehrleisten (z.B. Abwehr gegen Angriffe auf IT-Komponenten) als auch das hohe Datenaufkommen auf effiziente Art und Weise durch Infrastruktursoftware (z.B. DBMS) zu handhaben.
Für das Datenmanagement wird dabei eine Produktlinienentwicklung angestrebt, die durch Anwendung neuer Programmiertechniken sowohl den ressourcenbedingten Einschränkungen im Automobil gerecht wird als auch die Kosten für die Neuentwicklung einzelner Komponenten durch Wiederverwendung minimiert.
Projektpartner sind Prof. J.Dittmann (AG Multimedia & Security) und Prof. G.Saake (AG Datenbanken) vom Institut für technische und betriebliche Informationssysteme (ITI) der OvGU als auch Prof. U. Jumar vom Institut für Automation und Kommunikation (ifak) der OvGU.

Referenzdatenmodelle für mechatronischen Entwurf, Modellbildung und Simulation (C3 Automotive)
Duration: 01.09.2007 bis 31.08.2011
Ein ganzheitliches Virtual Engineering von der Entwicklung bis hin zur Fertigung von Produkten erfordert die Verbindung unterschiedlicher ingenieurwissenschaftlicher Disziplinen bezogen auf die Betrachtungsebenen und Detaillierungsgrade in ihren Modellwelten.
Das Teilprojekt C3, des COmpetence in MObility (COMO) Projektes, beinhaltet die Entwicklung einer Referenzdatenbank zur Verwaltung von komplexen Modellen und Abhängigkeiten, sowie die Spezifikation von Referenzdatenmodellen für den mechatronischen Entwurf, die Modellbildung und Simulation.
Das ganzheitliche Referenzdatenmodell wird verschiedenartige (u.a. mechanische, elektrische, regelungstechnische) Modelle in virtuelle Produktkomponenten integrieren.

Projektpartner des Teilprojektes ist Prof. M. Schenk vom Fraunhofer-Institut für Fabrikbetrieb und -automatisierung (IFF) Magdeburg.
Reflective and Adaptive Middleware for Software Evolution of Non-Stopping Information Systems
Duration: 01.04.2008 bis 31.08.2011
Today's information systems still remain far from exhibiting the levels of agility required to operate in our very volatile and competitive (socio-techno-economical) environment. Such environments require updated/new business services to be easily and rapidly offered while ensuring a high-level of quality and certification. Towards that purpose, the present proposal addresses the rigorous development of self-adapting and run-time evolving information systems. The approach we propose is mainly interaction-centric. First, a reflective middleware is to be built with a UML-compliant base-level and a meta-level with evolutionary script-based rules and consistency checking of run-time self-adaptation and evolution. This reflective middleware is then to be enhanced by endowing it with a more general (domain-dependent) architecture with reconfiguration capabilities based on graph transformation rewriting techniques and property-oriented (temporal) logic. Transformation models will then be forwarded both at the base- and at the meta-level for formal validation and properties verification of the running (middleware-based) system on the basis of the (domain-based) architecture. Besides the proof of concepts with academic case studies, the project will be validated with a non-trivial case-study dealing with an urban traffic systems.
Optimization and Self-Tuning Approaches for Data Warehouses
Duration: 15.04.2007 bis 31.12.2010
Data-Warehouse-Systeme werden seit einiger Zeit für Markt- und Finanzanalysen in vielen Bereichen der Wirtschaft eingesetzt. Die Anwendungsgebiete dieser Systeme erweitern sich dabei ständig, und zusätzlich steigen die zu haltenenden Datenmengen (historischer Datenbestand) immer schneller an. Da es sich oft um sehr komplexe und zeitkritische Anwendungen handelt, müssen die Analysen und Berechnungen auf den Daten immer weiter optimiert werden. Dazu allein reicht die stetig steigende Leistung von Rechner- und Serversystemen nicht aus, da die Anwendungen immer neue Anforderungen und komplexer werdende Berechnungen benötigen. Dadurch wird auch klar, daß der zeitliche und finanzielle Aufwand zum Betrieb solcher Systeme immens ist.
Im Rahmen dieses Projekts soll untersucht werden, welche Möglichkeiten existieren, bisherige Ansätze zu erweitern und neue Vorschläge in bestehende System zu integrieren um die Leistung dieser zu steigern. Um dieses Ziel zu erreichen sollen Ansätze aus dem Bereich des Self-Tunings genutzt werden, denn so können die Systeme sich autonom an ständig ändernde Rahmenbedingungen und Anforderungen anpassen.

ViERforES - Interoperabilität für digitale Produkte mit eingebetteten Systemen
Duration: 01.09.2008 bis 31.12.2010
Die Funktionalität neuer Produkte wird durch einen zunehmenden Anteil von Software in Form von Eingebetteten Systemen erzielt. Im Zusammenwirken mit anderen funktionsbestimmenden Komponenten komplexer technischer Systeme erfordert das neue Techologien zur Beherrschung von höchster Sicherheit und Zuverlässigkeit von Produktentwicklungen. Ziel von VIERforES ist es, durch Einsatz von Virtueller und Erweiterter Realität auch nicht physikalische Produkteigenschaften sichtbar zu machen und so adäquate Methoden und Werkzeuge für das Engineering zu entwickeln.
Die Bereitstellung von Lösungen zur gesamtheitlichen Betrachtung komplexer Produkte oder Anlagen in der Entwicklung, dem Tests und während des Betriebes stellt die Informationstechnik vor große Herausforderungen. Unter anderem müssen unabhängig voneinander modellierte Komponenten in einen Gesamtkontext eingebracht werden, wofür die virtuelle oder erweiterte Realität als integrierter Arbeitsbereich nutzbar gemacht werden kann. Ziel des Teilprojektes "Interoperabilität für digitale Produkte mit eingebetteten Systemen" ist daher die Sicherstellung der Interoperabilität der beteiligten heterogenen Systeme und der von diesen verwalteten Modelle. Dies reicht von der syntaktischen (verschiedene Schnittstellen, Datenmodelle, etc.) über die semantische (Bedeutung und Zusammenhang von unterschiedlich modellierten Daten und Funktionalitäten) bis zur pragmatischen Ebene (Verwendung durch Nutzer, Unterstützung von Arbeitsabläufen, Kooperation).
ViERforES - Koordination
Duration: 01.09.2008 bis 31.12.2010
Aufgabe des Teilprojektes ist die Koordinierung der Zusammenarbeit der Projektleiter der Teilprojekte der Anwendungsbereiche und Querschnittthemen des Projektes VIERforES sowie Präsentation, Außendarstellung.
ViERforES - Sichere Datenhaltung in eingebetteten Systemen
Duration: 01.09.2008 bis 31.12.2010

Ziel des Teilprojektes "Sichere Datenhaltung in eingebetteten Systemen" ist es, den Stand der Technik bezüglich Safety und Security sowie ihrer Wechselwirkungen unter dem speziellen Fokus auf eingebettete Systeme aufzuzeigen und in der Kooperation mit Kaiserslautern auf die Anwendungsgebiete abzubilden. Bedrohungen für dieses spezifische Umfeld sollen analysiert und modelliert (z.B. unter Einbeziehung bestehender Schemata wie der CERT-Taxonomie) werden und dem Anwender über Virtual Engineering greifbar gemacht werden. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt ist die Entwicklung einer Produktlinie für sichere Datenhaltung in eingebetteten Systemen und Konzepte für die Verfügbarkeit dieser Produktlinie im Virtual Engineering.
Lastbalancierte Indexstrukturen zur Unterstützung des Self-Tuning in DBMS
Duration: 03.03.2007 bis 31.03.2010
Indexstrukturen werden seit langer Zeit in Datenbankmanagementsystemen eingesetzt, um bei grösen Datenmengen den Zugriff auf Datenobjekte zu beschleunigen. Dabei werden Datenräume in der Regel gleichmäßig indexiert, um möglichst konstante Zugriffskosten zu erzielen. Weiterhin sind die Indexstrukturen dafür optimiert, den gesamten Datenbereich zu beschreiben, wodurch in der Regel große Indexinstanzen entstehen. Im Rahmen dieses Projektes wird untersucht, welche Möglichkeiten existieren, um Indexe im Rahmen eines Self-Tuning besser an aktuelle Anforderungen eines Systems anzupassen. Im Gegensatz zur parallel betriebenen Forschungen an Indexkonfigurationen sollen hierbei die Indexe selber adaptiv sein, indem sie sich an das Lastverhalten in Form von Zugriffen auf bestimmte Datenbereiche selbständig anpassen. Resultierende Indexstrukturen müssen dementsprechend nicht mehr höhenbalanciert sein und können gegebenenfalls dünnbesetzt sein oder den Datenraum nur partiell überdecken.
Methods and Tools for Construction of Highly Configurable Database Families for Embedded Systems
Duration: 01.04.2006 bis 30.09.2008
Embedded computer systems often need infrastructure software for the management of data that often has a lot in common with traditional database management systems (DBMS). However, the hardware heterogeneity, the sometimes extreme resource constraints, and the different requirements of the often very special applications inhibit the use of standard software solutions. In this situation programmers frequently react by developing their own solutions, which leads to a "reinvention of the wheel". The goal of this project is to evaluate and improve methods and tools for the construction of highly customizable DBMS. These techniques could reduce the developments by supporting reuse without increased hardware costs. Besides the construction of DBMS families a further goal is to analyse application code in order to automate and this simply the configuration configuration process.
Reflective and Adaptive Middleware for Software Evolution of Non-Stopping Information Systems
Duration: 15.10.2005 bis 31.03.2008

Virtuelle Entwicklungs- und Logistikplattform (TP 13 Automotive)
Duration: 01.10.2005 bis 30.09.2007
Ein ganzheitliches Virtual Engineering von der Entwicklung bis hin zur Fertigung von Produkten erfordert die Verbindung unterschiedlicher ingenieurwissenschaftlicher Disziplinen bezogen auf die Betrachtungsebenen und Detaillierungsgrade in ihren Modellwelten. Als vorteilhaft hat sich in diesem Zusammenhang die Verwendung von Modellkomponenten erwiesen, die sich an dem Modul- und Schnittstellenkonzept der Produkte orientieren. Die hierfür benötigten ingenieurwissenschaftlichen Grundlagen und Modellierungskonzepte sollen im Rahmen dieses interdisziplinären Projektes erarbeitet und anhand einer prototypischen Softwareplattform zur Unterstützung der Produktentstehungsprozesse erprobt werden. Damit soll ein Beitrag zur Weiterentwicklung virtueller Technologien bzw. zur Verbesserung von deren Anwendbarkeit bei Engineering- und Planungsprozessen geleistet werden. Projektpartner sind Prof. R. Kasper vom Institut für Mobile Systeme der OvGU Magdeburg, Prof. U. Gabbert vom Institut für Mechanik der OvGU Magdeburg sowie Prof. M.

Lastbalancierte Indexstrukturen zur Unterstützung des Self-Tuning in DBMS
Duration: 01.10.2004 bis 02.03.2007
Indexstrukturen werden seit langer Zeit in Datenbankmanagementsystemen eingesetzt, um bei grösen Datenmengen den Zugriff auf Datenobjekte zu beschleunigen. Dabei werden Datenräume in der Regel gleichmäßig indexiert, um möglichst konstante Zugriffskosten zu erzielen. Weiterhin sind die Indexstrukturen dafür optimiert, den gesamten Datenbereich zu beschreiben, wodurch in der Regel große Indexinstanzen entstehen.

Werkzeugunterstützung für die Entwicklung von Produktlinien
Duration: 01.10.2004 bis 31.08.2006
Produktlinientechnologien bzw. Domain Engineering stellen wichtige Methoden zur Erstellung von wiederverwendbarer, konfigurierbarer und beherrschbarer Software dar. Ziel des Projektes ist die durchgehende Unterstützung des Produktlinien bzw. Domain Engineering Prozesses. Im Moment gibt es eine Vielzahl von Methoden und Werkzeugen zur Unterstützung der einzelnen Phasen des Domain Engineering (Analyse, Entwurf, Implementierung, Konfigurierung). Allerdings besteht zwischen diesen oftmals keinerlei Zusammenhang. Dadurch können nicht alle Informationen einer Phase in eine folgende übernommen werden und gehen somit verloren. Diese Informationen fehlen bei späteren Erweiterungen, Anpassungen und Wartungsarbeiten. Deshalb m"ussen viele einmal spezifizierte Eigenschaften der zu erstellenden Software mehrmals neu eingegeben bzw. implementiert oder spezifiziert werden. Des Weiteren wird in diesem Projekt FeatureC++, eine merkmalsorientierte Erweiterung zu C++, entwickelt. Die Idee auch für die Anwendungsentwicklung mit C++ eine Sprachunterstützung anzubieten (Hierher nur Java mit AHEAD). Weiterhin soll damit gezeigt werden, das die Entwicklungsumgebung sowie der Entwicklungsprozess unabhängig von einer Sprache (AHEAD – Java, FeatureC++ – C++) oder speziellen Werkzeugen ist. Der Prozess und die Werkzeuge folgen lediglich dem Paradigma der Merkmalsorientierung.
Hochkonfigierbares Datenmanagement
Duration: 01.10.2002 bis 02.03.2006
Die Einsatzbereiche von Rechensystemen werden immer vielfältiger. Mikroprozessoren finden sich heute bereits in jedem Automobil, jedem Flugzeug und selbst in Waschmaschinen. Aktuelle Entwicklungen wie "Ubiquitous Computing" und "Pervasive Computing" werden diesen Trend noch verstärken. Häufig benötigen auch derartige "eingebettete" Rechensysteme Infrastruktursoftware zur Datenhaltung, die vieles mit klassischer Datenhaltung in DBMS gemein haben. Allerdings verhindern die Heterogenität der Hardware, die teilweise extremen Ressourcenbeschränkungen und die unterschiedlichen Anforderungen der häufig sehr speziellen Anwendungsprogramme den Einsatz von Standardlösungen. Um zu verhindern, dass Entwickler darauf mit Eigenentwicklungen reagieren bedarf es spezieller anpassbarer DBMS für die Anwendungsdomäne der eingebetteten Systeme. Das Ziel dieses Vorhabens ist es, Methoden und Werkzeuge zu evaluieren und zu verfeinern, die für den Bau anwendungsspezifisch konfigurierbarer DBMS zielführend sind. Dabei soll neben der Konstruktion der DBMS Familie auch die Analyse von Anwendungen betrachtet werden, um so den Aufwand f"ur die Konfigurierung der passenden DBMS Variante durch Automatisierung zu minimieren.
Relevance-Feedback
Duration: 01.03.2002 bis 01.03.2006
Bei der Suche in Bilddatenbanken ohne textuelle Annotationen ist man von automatisch extrahierten Metadaten abhängig. Beim Relevance-Feedback erfolgt die Suche interaktiv auf den extrahierten Daten. Bei den extrahierten Daten handelt es sich um Merkmalen wie Farbe und Form. Diese so genannten low-level-Merkmale können ein gesuchtes Bild nur vage beschrieben. Daher entspricht die Ergebnismenge einer Anfrage auf diesem Datenraum in der Regel nicht genau den Vorstellungen des Nutzers.Durch mehrere iterative Schritte während eines Anfrageprozesses kann die menschliche Beurteilung mit in die Anfrageausführung einbezogen werden. Bei einer unbefriedigenden Ergebnismenge gibt es mehrere Verfahren, bei denen durch iterative Anfrageformulierung eine Verbesserung der Ergebnismenge erreicht werden kann. Ein Beispiel wäre die Bewertung der Ergebnismenge durch den Nutzer. Die bewertete Anfrage wird als neue Anfrage an das System geschickt. Eine benutzerorientierte Unterstüzung bei der Iteration ist durch eine geeignete Präsentation der Ergebnismenge möglich.
Ähnlichkeitsbasierte Operationen für die Integration strukturierter Daten
Duration: 01.10.2000 bis 02.08.2005
Die Behandlung von Diskrepanzen in Daten ist immer noch eine große Herausforderung und zum Beispiel relevant zur Beseitigung von Duplikaten aus semantisch überlappenden Datenquellen als auch zur Verbindung komplementärer Daten aus verschiedenen Quellen. Entsprechende Operationen können meist nicht nur auf Wertegleichheit basieren, da nur in wenigen Fällen über Systemgrenzen hinweg gültige Identifikatoren existieren.Die Verwendung weiterer Attributwerte ist problematisch, da fehlerhafte Daten und unterschiedliche Darstellungsweisen ein häufiges Problem in diesem Kontext sind. Deshalb müssen solche Operation auf der Ähnlichkeit von Datenobjekten und -werten basieren.Dieser Probleme wird sich in dem Promotionsprojekt von Herr Eike Schallehn angenommen, indem ähnlichkeitsbasierte Operationen entsprechend einem leichtgewichtigen, generischen Rahmen bereitgestellt werden. Die ähnlichkeitsbasierte Selektion, der Verbund und die Gruppierung werden bezüglich ihrer allgemeinen Semantik und besonderer Aspekte der zugrunde liegenden Ähnlichkeitsrelationen diskutiert. Entsprechende Algorithmen für die Datenbearbeitung werden für materialisierte und virtuelle Datenintegrationsszenarien beschrieben. Implementierungen werden vorgestellt und bezüglich der Anwendbarkeit und Effizienz der vorgestellten Ansätze evaluiert.
Optimierung von Ähnlichkeitsanfragen in Multimedia-Datenbanksystemen
Duration: 01.01.2003 bis 01.08.2005
Für die Suche in Multimedia-Datenbanksystemen müssen neben exakten Ergebnissen auch solche einbezogen werden, die der gewünschten Information möglichst nahe kommen, d.h. ähnlich sind. Eine Anfrage könnte etwa sein, in einer Bilddatenbank die Bilder zu finden, die möglichst ähnlich zu einem bestimmten Vorgabebild sind. Die "Ähnlichkeit" wird jedoch von verschiedenen Faktoren, wie der subjektiven Einschätzung des Nutzers und der Gewichtung von Teilanfragen beeinflusst. Da solche Faktoren allgemein nicht durch ein System vorhersagbar sind, ist es notwendig, sie in die Anfragesprache des Systems zu integrieren. Dabei eignet sich zur Anfrageformulierung eine kalkülbasierte QBE-Sprache aufgrund des deklarativen Charakters für den Anwender. Für die Anfrageverarbeitung durch den Computer hingegegen eignet sich eine algebrabasierte Sprache besser.Die aus deklarativen Nutzeranfragen erzeugten Algebraausdrücke stellen im Allgemeinen nicht die bestmögliche Berechnungsvorschrift dar, so dass eine Optimierung sinnvoll bzw. notwendig ist. Eine besondere Berücksichtigung bei der Optimierung verlangt dabei die Behandlung der in die Sprache eingebetteten Ähnlichkeitswerte.
Suche in Multimedia-Datenbanken
Duration: 02.03.2005 bis 01.08.2005
Das langfristige Ziel ist die Erforschung der Nutzung von Datenbankkonzepten zur Verwaltung von Multimedia-Daten. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf Methoden und Werkzeugen zur Suche nach Multimedia-Daten. Wichtige Forschungsergebnisse sollen dabei anhand von Prototypen validiert und demonstriert werden.Die Suche nach Multimedia-Daten erfordert die Spezifikation von Anfragen, welche durch den Forschungsschwerpunkt "Gewichten von Anfragen" abgedeckt wird. Dazu wurde die Anfragesprache WS-QBE entwickelt, welche eine QBE-ähnliche Anfragespezifikation von Ähnlichkeitsanfragen erlaubt. WS-QBE-Anfragen werden über eine Kalkülsprache in eine Ähnlichkeitsalgebra überführt, in der eine Optimierung und anschließend die Ergebnisberechnung ausgeführt wird. Zum effizienten Finden von Ergebnissen sind hochdimensionale Indexstrukturen notwendig. Oft kann ein Anfrageergebnis nur mittels mehrerer Anfrage-Iterationen gefunden werden. Dazu werden Konzepte des Relevance Feedbacks verwendet.
Parallel SQL Based Frequent Pattern Mining
Duration: 01.01.2002 bis 01.05.2005
Data mining on large relational databases has gained popularity and its significance is well recognized. However, the performance of SQL based data mining is known to fall behind specialized implementation. We investigate approaches based on SQL for the problem of finding frequent patterns from a transaction table, including an algorithm that we recently proposed, called Ppropad (Parallel PROjection PAttern Discovery). Ppropad fundamentally differs from an Apriori-like candidate set generation-and-test approach. This approach successively projects the transaction table into frequent itemsets to avoid making multiple passes over the large original transaction table and generating a huge sets of candidates. We have built a parallel database system with DB2 and made performance evaluation on it. We prove that data mining with SQL can achieve sufficient performance by the utilization of database tuning.
Indexunterstützung für Anfrageoperationen in Mediatorsystemen
Duration: 01.04.2003 bis 31.03.2005
Viele Benutzer und Applikationen benötigen die Integration von semi-strukturierten Daten aus autonomen, heterogenenen Web-Datenquellen. In den letzten Jahren entstanden Mediator-Systeme, die Domain-Knowledge in Form von Ontologien oder Vokabularen benutzen, um das Problem der strukturellen Heterogenität zu lösen. Allerdings haben viele Anwender nicht das notwendige Wissen über Daten und deren Struktur sowie über die Anfragesprache, um diese Daten sinnvoll zu nutzen. Somit ist es notwendig einfach zu benutzende Anfrageschnittstellen, d.h. Keyword-Suche und Browsing, bereitzustellen.Das Ziel des Projektes ist eine indexbasierte Realisierung von Keyword-Suchen in konzeptbasierten Mediatorsystemen. Um globale Anfragen effizient auszuführen, wird ein Index auf der globalen Ebene aus Anfrageergebnissen aufgebaut und aktuell gehalten. Zusätzlich sollen neben Stichwortanfragen auch Stringähnlichkeitsoperationen unterstützt werden.
Selbstverwaltung von Indexkonfigurationen in DBMS
Duration: 01.04.2003 bis 31.03.2005
Ein Hauptmittel zum Tuning von Datenbanken ist das Anlegen von Indexen zur Beschleunigung der Ausführung einer Vielzahl von Operationen. Jedoch ist das Anlegen der geeigneten Indexe eine schwierige Aufgabe, die genaues Wissen über die Nutzung der Daten und die Arbeitsweise des jeweiligen Datenbankmanagementsystems voraussetzt. Zur Unterstützung dieser Aufgabe wurden in den letzten Jahren von den DBMS-Herstellern Werkzeuge entwickelt, die zum Beispiel typische Anfragen oder Anfrage-Logs analysieren und eine statische Empfehlung für eine Indexkonfiguration ableiten.In der Praxis existieren Datenbanken aber in einem sehr dynamischen Umfeld, wo sich neben typischen Nutzungsprofilen (Anfragen) auch die Daten selber und ebenfalls zur Verfügung stehenden Systemressourcen permanent ändern. Im Rahmen dieses Projektes wird untersucht, wie basierend auf einer kontinuierlichen Analyse des Systems und seiner Nutzung automatisch die aktuelle Indexkonfiguration an sich ändernde Anforderungen angepasst werden kann.
Konsistenzsicherung bei serverseitigen Änderungen für Datenbestände mobiler Clients
Duration: 01.11.2004 bis 01.03.2005
Informationssystemen mit mobilen Klienten müssen die Restriktionen bei Hardware (leichtgewichtige Endgeräte), Energieversorgung (meist Akkumulatoren) und Netzwerknutzung (Kosten, Geschwindigkeiten, Verfügbarkeit) kompensieren. Oftmals kommen hierbei Techniken zum Einsatz, welche Daten redundant auf dem Mobilgerät speichern. Das Spektrum reicht hierbei von Caching über Hoarding bis hin zur Replikation. Sie unterscheiden sich im Wesentlichen durch das Vorgehen, wie der Nutzer Einfluss auf die zwischenzuspeichernden Daten nehmen kann. Beim Caching, insbesondere beim semantischen Caching, werden Anfrageergebnisse gepuffert und bei neuen Anfragen gegebenenfalls wiederverwendet. Hoarding-Techniken versuchen vorauszuahnen, welche Daten dem Nutzer eines Mobilgerätes später von Nutzen sein können. Replikationsverfahren erlauben ein gezieltes Anfordern von Daten. Bei allen drei Ansätzen wird jedoch eine künstliche Redundanz der Serverdaten erzeugt, die bei Änderungen zu Inkonsistenzen führt. Daher müssen sowohl Klient, als auch Server konsistenzsichernde Maßnahmen unterstützen. Im Rahmen dieses Projektes wird daher untersucht, wie ein solcher Abgleich, abhängig vom gewählten Zwischenspeicherungsansatz erfolgen kann.
Suche in Multimedia-Datenbanken

Softwaretechnische Methoden zur Entwicklung adaptiver verteilter Systeme
Duration: 01.12.2002 bis 31.12.2004
Im Kontext der globalen Vernetzung gewinnen verteilte Systeme immer mehr an Bedeutung. Sie durchdringen immer mehr Bereiche des alltäglichen Lebens undmüssen immer flexibler auf äußere Einflüsse reagieren bzw. hinsichtlich dieser angepasst werden. Ziel dieses Promotionsvorhabens ist der wachsenden Komplexität dieser Systeme unter Beachtung des immer breiter werdenden Spektrums von potentiellen Anwendungen und Zielplattformen mittels moderner softwaretechnischer Methoden zu begegnen. Hierbei werden vor allem Aspektorientierte, Generative sowie Merkmalsorientierte Programmierung hinsichtlich Anpassbarkeit, Widerverwendbarkeit und Erweiterbarkeit von verteilten Systemen, ohne die Verständlichkeit und Wartbarkeit einzuschränken, untersucht. In diesem Rahmen wurden und werden außerdem neue Methoden wie konfigurierbares Binden, die kombinierte Anwendung der genannten Sprachparadigmen oder eine visuelle Werkzeugunterstützung entwickelt. Neben dieser statischen Sicht liegt der Fokus außerdem auf der dynamischen Anpassung von verteilten Systemen zur Laufzeit. In diesem Zusammenhang werden auf softwaretechnischer Ebene reflexive Architekturen und dynamisches Aspektweben untersucht. Auf konzeptioneller Ebene wird ein Zusammenhang zwischen Komplexitätsforschung, Kybernetik und selbst-organisierenden adaptiven dezentral-verteilten Systemen hergestellt.
Adaptive Replikation von Daten in heterogenen mobilen Kommunikationsnetzen
Duration: 01.11.2000 bis 31.10.2004
Moderne Kommunikationsnetze mit mobilem, drahtlosem Zugang eröffnen eine Vielzahl neuer Anwendungsgebiete. Die Mobilität der Endgeräte sowie die Ausdehnung der Netzwerke erfordern eine verteilte und redundante Verwaltung sowohl der Managementdaten als auch der eigentlichen Nutzdaten, um einen reibungslosen Betrieb sowie einen effizienten und kostengünstigen Zugriff zu gewährleisten. Daraus resultiert jedoch gleichzeitig auch die Notwendigkeit einer konsistenten Aktualisierung der einzelnen Kopien der Daten. Erschwert wird dies gleichzeitig durch die Heterogenität der Netze und der darauf aufbauenden Systemdienste, die durch die Vielfalt von Technologien und Betreibern bedingt ist. Gegenstand dieses Projektes sind daher Problemstellungen der Datenhaltung in heterogenen, mobilen Netzen. Ausgehend von der Analyse konkreter Anwendungsszenarien und sich daraus ergebender Möglichkeiten werden Replikationstechniken vor allem hinsichtlich der Anpassbarkeit (Adaptivität) an veränderte Rahmenbedingungen untersucht, wie Änderungen der Netztopologie, der Verfügbarkeit einzelner Knoten oder Netzsegmente sowie Veränderungen des Verhaltens bei der Datennutzung.
Integrating techniques of software specification in engineering applications
Duration: 01.01.1999 bis 31.12.2003
Die Ablaufsteuerung vieler ingenieurwissenschaftlicher Anwendungen kann nur unvollständig durch Software realisiert werden. Äußere Einflüsse und menschliche Interaktionen ("offene Systeme") verhindern dies. Weiterhin müssen die spezifizierten Abläufe flexibel an neue Anforderungen und Rahmenbedingungen anpaßbar sein. In Abhängigkeit von der Flexibilität der beschriebenen Prozesse müssen Ablaufbeschreibungen häufig im laufenden Betrieb angepaßt werden. Daraus ergeben sich neue Anforderungen an Softwarespezifikationen, die von klassischen Methoden der Informatik nur unvollständig abgedeckt werden. Zielstellung ist die Erstellung einer Spezifikationssprache und -methode für ingenieurwissenschaftliche Anwendungen mit Eigenschaften wie der Verwendung einer verbreiteten Notationen, der Zuordnung von Abläufen zu Objekten, einer hierarchischn Verhaltensverfeinerung, hoher Adaptierbarkeit und Flexibilität, einer guten Analysierbarkeit sowie der Generierbarkeit operationaler Abläufe. Die Spezifikationsmethodik soll anhand der Abläufe in einer konkreten Materialflußanlage mit Hilfe von Testfällen überprüft werden. Dabei soll insbesondere die Adaptierbarkeit von Ablaufbeschreibungen im Vordergrund stehen.
MuSofT - Multimedia in Software Engineering
Duration: 01.03.2001 bis 31.12.2003
The goal of the MuSofT project is the support of the education within the area of software engineering through the application of "new media". Software engineering is a major part of the curricula in Computer Science, Business Computer Science, and courses with computer science as a minor subject. Further, software engineering becomes more and more important in Engineering and Information Technology courses. The education in these application oriented areas of computer science shall be supported by the development of multimedia materials, thus providing the necessary quality of the education even with large and very large numbers of students.
Within the sub-project 1.2 a learning unit concerning the development of information systems will be developed. The main focus will be on the area of databases, which are a major part of many modern software systems. The lectures impart practical knowledge about the design of databases as well as aspects from database theory. For the different phases of the database design process, materials will be developed which support lectures, seminars, and practical work as well as self study.
Internet-Datenbank für kriegsbedingt verbrachte Kulturgüter
Duration: 01.10.1999 bis 01.10.2003
Ziel des Projektes ist die Konzeption und Realisierung einer Datenbank zur Verwaltung von kriegsbedingt verbrachten Kulturgütern (Beutekunst). In diesem Rahmen ist eine WWW-Schnittstelle zu entwickeln, die eine Recherche anhand verschiedener Kriterien ermöglicht und Aspekte der Abrechnung von Anfragen berücksichtigt.
Federation and Integration Services for Information Fusion
Duration: 01.01.2000 bis 31.03.2003
The management of large data sets, guaranteeing of the actuality and consistency as well as retrieval of data are main features of informationsystems that are implemented in various areas of enterprises. Due to the globalization of markets the need to use actual worldwide distributed information increases. The character of this data - heterogenity, structure, redundance and inconsistence - makes the integration with own data more difficult. At the same time the great amount of data requires suitable precautions for filtering and condensing and for extraction of relevant information.The variety of potential data sources and data structures, different requests for information (for example concerning consistence, actuality and availability), the support of user-related fusion and analysis methods as well as scalability presuppose a flexible and extensible infrastructure. Methodologies and techniques of such an infrastructure shall be developed as generic kernel for efficient aplications to support the information fusion.
Föderierungsdienst für heterogene Dokumentenquellen
Duration: 01.09.1999 bis 31.12.2001
Ziel dieses Pojektes ist der Entwurf und die Implementierung eines Föderierungsdienstes zur Literatur- und Informationsrecherche in heterogenen Informationssystemen. Eine derartige Komponente ist notwendig, da im Anwendungsszenario des bundesweiten Projektes Global-Info heterogene und autonome Informationssysteme zusammengefaßt werden müssen, die in der Regel verteilt im Netz agieren und deren lokale Eigenschaften nicht beeinflußbar sind. Der Föderierungsdienst schließt dabei auch die Verwaltung von Metadaten der Föderation in einer Datenbank mit ein. Wesentliche Teilprobleme sind weiterhin Methoden zur Extraktion von Metadaten aus teilweise strukturierten Dokumenten und zur Erkennung identischer Informationsobjekte (Dokumente, Autoreninformationen, etc.).
FIREworks: Feature Integration in Requirements Engineering
Duration: 01.05.1997 bis 30.04.2000
FIREworks addresses the problem of adding features to specifications of complex software products, inparticular software for telecommunication services and banking. It will provide a feature-orientedapproach to software design including requirements specification languages and verification logics, aswell as a method for their usage. The aim is to provide a method with which companies can buildproducts by taking an existing product and adding, removing, or respecifying some features.
Tools and Components for efficient Development and practical Implementation of Federated Database Systems
Duration: 01.03.1998 bis 28.02.2000
This project focusses to the design of federated database systems. These systems primeses database integration with local autonomy. This means, that integrated databases can used be legacy applications.
Federating Heterogenous Database Systems and Local Data Management Components for Global Integrity Maintenance
Duration: 01.09.1995 bis 28.02.1998
Ziel des Vorhabens ist die Entwicklung einer Basis-Informationsinfrastruktur als Grundlage integrierter und einheitlicher Datenhaltung füralle Phasen der Fabrikplanung. Dazu soll ein föderiertes heterogenes Informationssystem entstehen, das als Rahmensystem zur Integrationaller an der Fabrikplanung beteiligten Software-Werkzeuge einschließlich deren lokaler Datenbestände dient. Damit sollen bislangseparate Werkzeuge, die für Produktentwurf, Produktionsplanung und Fabriksimulation eingesetzt werden oder dafür noch entwickeltwerden, synergetisch zusammengefügt werden. Zentrale Aufgabe eines solchen föderierten Informationssystems ist neben der Bereitstellung einer homogenen Datenbankschnittstelle fürglobale Anwendungen die systemübergreifende Gewährleistung der Datenkonsistenz. Um diese zu gewährleisten, sollen aktiveMechanismen auf einer übergeordneten Ebene realisiert werden, um die Einzelsysteme mit ihren unterschiedlichen Möglichkeiten derIntegritätssicherung zu verbinden. Die Verbindung der Einzelsysteme verlangt die Integration der verschiedenen Datenschemata, welcheoft auf unterschiedlichen Datenmodellen basieren.
