Overview Today, the field of Information Systems includes not just structured databases, but at least equally important the semi-structured and unstructured data in the World Wide Web. The Chair Informatik 5 addresses both domains, with the management of so-called metadata (data about data) in the kernel of its research interests. Current major themes include mobile web services and applications, metadata model management, and technology enhance enhancedd learning. The academic year 2008-2009 has been extremely busy for us. After ten years of funding, the Aachen-Bonn-Cologne SFB 427 “Media and Cultural Communication” was completed successfully in December 2008. In 2009, Prof. Jarke was elected vice coordinator of the excellence cluster UMIC (Ultra-High speed Mobile Information and Communication) in which we participate with two major projects and a postdoc. In addition to continuing the DFG-funded requirements engineering project CONTici jointly with four other NRW universities, two large European projects on technology enhanced learning began. One focuses on Responsive Open Learning Environments (ROLE), and the other supports the European Schoolnet for Teachers’ Lifelong Learning Networks (TeLLNet), a cooperation network of over 45.000 schools. The subgroup of Prof. Berlage secured the new ExPrimage BMBF project in medical informatics. Smaller projects were also started in cultural heritage (with Harokopio University, Greece), on model-based data integration (with Technion, Israel), and on model-based information integration in mechanical engineering (RWTH Pathfinder  project with WZL and PLT). Within the university-wide future concept “RWTH-2020: Meeting Global Challenges”, we continued with the strategic activity “International Recruiting” and started a junior research group on “Natural Media” jointly with colleagues from the Humanities and from Medicine within RWTH Aachen HumTec initiative. Within the Future Concept, we also coordinate the RWTH-wide strategic activities on International Recruiting. Last but not least, the cooperation with Ericsson Eurolabs in the field of mobile web services was complemented by a major data integration and analysis project within the German national CoCar initiative. Informatik 5 organized the 8th International Conference on Web-based Learning (ICWL’09) in Aachen with over 150 participants. We also co-organized a Dagstuhl Perspective Seminar on High-Impact Requirements Engineering, the European Summer School on Technology Enhanced Learning in Slovakia, and the 11th International Conference on Mobile Interaction (MobileHCI’09) in Bonn. In terms of teaching, two large undergraduate courses a totalteaching of well over students were taught in the summer semester 2009 alone, leadingwith to heavy load 400 on top of the specialist courses and seminars offered by the group. We also were among the first five universities in Europe to introduce a focused lecture program on the new field of Web Science. Another noteworthy teaching-related activity concerned the accreditation of the Bachelor program in ICT for Business and Engineering at the German University of Technology in Oman (GUtech). Informatik 5 cooperates closely with the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology (FIT) of which Prof. Jarke is Executive Director and Deputy Chairman of the Fraunhofer ICT group with 16 institutes and over 2000 researchers. Two FIT area managers, Prof. Wolfgang Prinz and Prof. Thomas Berlage, hold cross-appointments as Associate Professors in Informatik 5. Prof. Jarke is also one of the Founding Directors of the BonnAachen International Center for Information Technology (B-IT). Within B-IT, a third joint  professorship has for been established andfunded filled by with Rose. The started new B-IT Research School doctoral training theProf. NRWThomas State Government its

Research Project P rojectss Research projects at Informatik 5 are organized according to the groups of mobile applications and services, technology enhanced learning and communities, model and data management. Mobile Applications and Services UMIC: Ultra High-Speed Mobile Information Information and Communication

M. Jarke, R. Klamma, C. Quix, Y. Cao, S. Geisler, Geisler, D. Kensche, X. Li, S. Srirama, M. Jansen (Sbg), G. Toubekis (Sbg), C. Hocken, X. Chen, C. Liu

The “Ultra High-Speed Mobile Information and Communication (UMIC)” is a research cluster under the German Excellence Initiative promoted by the German Federal and State Government at German Universities. UMIC is the only Excellence Cluster fully dedicated to the field of information and communication technology approved in the first excellence competition in 2006. More than 20 institutions at RWTH Aachen participate in UMIC, aiming at interdisciplinary design of ultra high-speed mobile information and communication systems. Concepts and demonstrators for smart, mobile, broadband, low-cost systems will be developed to support the demanding applications of the next-decade mobile Internet. Based on previous work in SFB 427 and in the GK “Software for Mobile Communication Systems”, 5 works closelyand together with science many institutes of electrical mechanicalInformatik engineering, architecture, computer in two subprojects in engineering, the research area of “Mobile Applications and Services”.

Future Mobile Internet Services: Virtual Campfire

M. Jarke, R. Klamma, Y. Cao, S. Srirama, M. Jansen (Sbg), G. Toubekis (Sbg),  A. Hahne, C. Hocken, Hocken, P. Schlebusch, Schlebusch, D. Kovachev, Kovachev, X. Chen, C. C. Liu

A “Mobile Host” capable of providing basic web services from smart phones was developed and the performance analysis of the tool proved the technical feasibility of the concept. The huge number of Web services possible, with each Mobile Host providing some services in the wireless network, makes the discovery of these services quite complex. The aspects of service discovery, mediation, and quality of service issues like security and scalability, application and usability analysis strategies for mobile web service providers were analyzed. As a demonstration scenario for mobile social software based on mobile internet services, the Virtual Campfire scenario has been further developed to bridge media and communities across mobile platforms. In Virtual Campfire, user-generated cultural heritage information is to be integrated into a multimedia non-linear digital storytelling system to enhance information reuse, learning and sharing across professional communities. Furthermore, research focuses on context-aware semantic mobile multimedia data management. MPEG-7  based metadata and Web 2.0 tagging approache approachess are applied to annotate, search and share multimedia data in a unified way. A mobile multimedia test bed is established to evaluate and monitor the mobile service calls by various mobile clients and to measure mobile multimedia communities based on certain information system success models. models.

 

The concept and prototypes were successfully demonstrated on a number of international conferences (e.g. the 10th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Data Management 2009 in Taipei, Taiwan) and workshops, as well as other events such as UMIC Day 2008. In the real world setting of the Bamiyan Community (http://www.bamiyan-development.org) Informatik 5 and Aachen’s Urban History department bring together international researchers, governmental and administrative officers for the conservation work in Bamiyan, Afghanistan Afghanistan.. The results were presented e.g. to the Afghan Ministers of Information and Culture, and of Urban Development.

Mobile and Wearable P2P Information Management in Health Net Applications

M. Jarke, C. Quix, S. Geisler, D. Kensche, X. Li, N. Sonjampa, S. Kim (MedIT),  P. Kranen (Informatik (Informatik 9), N. Jungbecker Jungbecker (ITA), (ITA), U. Meyer, Meyer, J. Barnickel (IT Security) Security)

Informatik 5 cooperates with the institute for textile technology (ITA), the Philips Chair for Medical Information Technology (MEDIT), Informatik 9 (Data Management and Exploration) and the UMIC research group IT Security. The aim is to develop a P2P network in which patients, doctors, nursing staff, and emergency services have full access to information and services in their mobile work environment. Data about the health status of a  patient is collected by a network of sensors integrated in the textile clothes. The data can be reviewed by doctors to consult the patients online, or by the emergency service to improve the diagnosis in an emergency situation. The groups have created a prototype for a body sensor shirt which includes an ECG sensor and accelerometer. The sensor information is processed by a device which sends the data to a mobile client (e.g. a PDA or a mobile phone). The client forwards f orwards the patient's data to a server where health experts can analyze the data in detail. To avoid sending of a huge amount of data, the data is pre-classified on the mobile client according to normal and emergency

 

situations. In normal situations, only a highly aggregated summary of the data will be sent; if an emergency situation is suspected, detailed information will be sent to the server. The work of Informatik 5 in this project focuses on the development of a peer data management system which supports the information exchange between the devices (PDAs and smart phones of patients and medical staff on the one hand, integrated information systems such as hospital information systems on the other hand). This work applies the basic research results of the model management project. In addition, requirements for the integration of the mobile devices in aa hospital system will haveuse been The integration of sensor data into hospital information information system the analyzed.

CoCar – Cooperative Cars

M. Jarke, C. Quix, S. Geisler, T. Rose, Guido G. Gehlen (Ericsson GmbH Eurolab), G. Jodlauk (Ericsson GmbH Eurolab), J. Javed

The Cooperative Cars (CoCar) project, supported by the German Federal Ministry for Research and Education, will test the suitability of UMTS technologies and their foreseeable extensions for direct, targeted transmission of traffic data arising from both stationary and vehicle-based sensors. The CoCar project is a part of the research initiative Adaptive and Cooperative Technologies for the Intelligent Traffic (AKTIV) led by the German automotive industry. Five partners from telecommunications and automobile industry will identify which traffic management and driver assistance applica applications tions are suitable for use of this technology. Informatik 5 cooperates in this project with Ericsson in Aachen and Fraunhofer FIT and develops data models, algorithms and systems for the data processing of CoCar applications. One focus is the research on a data quality model to simulate and estimate the effect of various parameters in data acquisition and processing for the traffic state estimation and forecasting. Furthermore, we investigate data stream management systems as the core component for the data processing, and we study data mining algorithms for the traffic state estimation. First results are quality- and priority-based traffic information fusion architecture and a simulation test bed to identify the properties of roadway networks and system design  parameters which have a significant significant impact on the quality of the traffic state estimation. estimation.

Metadata in Community Information Systems

M. Jarke, R. Klamma, Y. Cao, A. Hannemann, D. Lübbers, R. Linde, Z. Petrushyna, K.  Rashed, M.C. Pham, D. Renzel, D. Kovachev, A. Bojinovic, X. Chen, D. Dugosija, H. Janßen,  F. Linke, D. Sosnitza, M. Hackstein, C. Hocken, C. Kalla, F. Linke, C. Liu, P. Schlebusch, Q. Tran, N. Drobek, M. Frericks

Community information systems are a combination of work practices, information, people, digital media theories organized in a way that they support the goals of the community. Metadata in community information systems stabilize the ongoing change management  process in these systems. The research goal of the working group is a better understanding of the creation, use, and maintenance of metadata in the context of community systems. These community information systems are designed and applied meeting communities’ real needs. With the emerging Web 2.0 paradigm, the connection between user communities and information systems is even tight. The group started three new research projects ROLE, IKYDA and TeLLNet in 2009 and finished the EU TEMPUS project CUELC. We have now strong funding in technology enhanced learning and cultural heritage management with “Web Science” research approach. We combine strong analytic methods for the Web like social network analysis, community/multimedia/text & data analysis with advanced Web engineering methods (single-login, variable and fine-granular access control, mobility support, multimedia management, multimedia annotation, interoperable search and retrieval, matching) for the support of professional communities in domains with ever changing and demanding requirements. The new lecture “Web Science” started in WS 2008/09 was very successful with two guest lecturers: Dr. Marc Spaniol from the Max Planck Institute for Computer Science in Saarbrücken and Prof. Markus Strohmaier from the Technical University in Graz, Austria. We organized two workshops in the Multimedia Metadata Community (http://www.multimedia-metadata.info (http://www.multimedia-metadata.info) in Toulouse (WMM’09) and in Graz (SeMuDaTe’09) as well as workshops about social ) software engineering environments (SENSE’09) in

 

Kaiserslautern and about storytelling and educational gaming (STEG’09) in Aachen. Highlight of the year was our strong participation in the organization of the ICWL’09 in Aachen in August 2009. The following projects have been worked on in the year 2008-2009:

DFG SFB 427: “Media and Cultural Communication” and HumTec Project “Natural Media”

M. Jarke, R. Klamma, Klamma, Y. Cao, M. A. Chatti, M. Spaniol, Spaniol, M. Bachwerk, Bachwerk,  N. Drobek, Z. Petrushyna, Petrushyna, D. Renz Renzel el , S. Grandhi, I. Mittelberg (HumTec)

The collaborative research center was completed successfully in December 2008 with a symposium about “The planetary – Culture –Technology – Media in the Age of PostGlobalization”. The symposium and the final newsletter demonstrated again the claim and the ability of the research center to think new media as a game changer for societal processes at large. Consequently, the sub-project “Agency in Digital Social Networks by Visualization of Multidimensional Patterns of Disturbance” incorporated the newly developed media theory of transcriptivity in design processes for complex community information systems in as different application domains as cultural heritage management, entrepreneurship, aphasics’ therapy, and technology enhanced learning. A number of new concepts like agency and patienthood were jointly researched in the context of the Web 2.0 and social software dominating lately information systems development. Main results included the development of a new reflective information systems architecture based on those media processes in professional communities of practice and the concept of Mediabases. These are very large pattern-oriented data management systems for Web 2.0 media for conducting interdisciplinary empirical research and knowledge discovery by visualizing dynamic network analysis results. The strongly transdisciplinary research was documented in a number of international journal and conference publications with an inclusion in the special issue of German Informatik Spektrum about computer science and the humanities in 2008. Building on these successful experiences, an interdisciplinary project on natural human media (multimodal interaction) between linguistics (Prof. Jäger), informatics (Prof. Jarke),  psychology (Prof. (Pr of. Koch, Prof. Willmes, Prof. Huber) and psychiatry (Prof. Schneider, Prof. Mathiak) has been approved for funding within the Human Technology (HumTec) initiative of the Future Concept RWTH-2020, under coordination of Profs. Jäger and Koch. A team of three newly hired international Junior Professors and Postdocs has been formed under the direction of Prof. Irene Mittelberg; Sukeshini Grandhi (formerly New Jersey Institute) represents computer science and information systems there, focusing on the different roles of computer games in the Natural Media context.

 

 

DFG CONTici: Context Adaptive Interaction in Cooperative Knowledge Processes

M. Jarke, R. Klamma, A. Hannemann, C. Hocken, C. Kalla, N. Drobek, G. Hackenberg, Hackenberg, M. Hackstein, A. Goer, M. Bachwerk

The aim of this DFG-funded cluster project of four NRW universities is development and research of context adaptive systems for knowledge processes. The main goal of the Informatik 5 subproject “Traceable Cooperative Requirements Engineering for Communitiesof-practice” is the extension of earlier context, process or cooperation models by comprehensible evolution histories, this leading towards a cycle of comprehensible information collection, processing and employment for learning l earning and re-engineering. In 2009, three new community-oriented requirements engineering tools were developed. The Bubble Annotation Tool (BAT) allows enjoyable collaborative requirements elicitation by multimedia annotation with speech bubbles. The core service of BAT combined with different social community analysis measurements served as basis for the CONTici Dashboard (DABA). Community-awareness within DABA fosters participation of community members in the requirements engineering process. The third system captures agent-oriented scenarios of processes or systems in a story-telling approach: “MIST-M” presents a mobile story-telling  platform, allowing requirements sharing within community anywhere at any time while Similarity Search (SiSe) provides conflict and similarity identification between different scenario stories.

DFG Research Training Project: Knowledge Knowledge Discovery in Digital Libraries

M. Jarke, R. Klamma, M.C. Pham, Q. Tran

This project is supported by Graduiertenkolleg (GK) “Software for mobile communication systems”. The aim of the project is to represent and analyze scientific knowledge in the field of Computer Science and develop recommendation techniques that support researchers to find conferences and journalsSocial to submit papers, to search for interesting communities  potential collaborators. Network Analysis (SNA) is applied research to discover the patternand of interaction between researchers, especially in Web 2.0 environment. Visualization techniques are used to represent and identify research communities and their evolution in term of knowledge diffusion and research r esearch collaboration. In 2008-2009, we concentrated on data mash-up issue with the investigation of possible techniques which can be used to integrate data from digital libraries. Two large data sources (DBLP and CiteSeer) are currently considered as a case study. We further investigate dynamic network analysis, especially clustering techniques, and the possibility to apply these techniques to recommender system (especially Collaborative Filtering recommendation) to improve the performance of traditional recommendation algorithms and make them more suitable for application in digital libraries. A prototype called AERCS (An Academic Event Recommender system for Computer Scientist) provides visualization and recommendation tools for research communities of conferences in Computer Science.

ROLE, started in February 2009, is an EU-funded large-scale integrating project within the 7th Framework Program in the domain of technology enhanced learning (TEL). The project aims at delivering and testing prototypes of highly responsive TEL environments, offering  breakthrough levels of effectiveness, flexibility, user-control and mass-individualiza mass-individualization, tion, thereby advancing the state-of-the-art in human resource management, self-regulated and social learning, psycho-pedagogical theories of adaptive education and educational  psychology, service composition and orchestration, and finally the use of ICT in lifelong learning. ROLE offers adaptivity and personalization in terms of content respectively navigation and the entire learning environment and its functionalities. This approach permits individualization of the components, tools, and functionalities of a learning environment, and their adjustment or replacement by existing web-based software tools. Learning environment elements can be combined to generate (to mashup) new components and functionalities, which can be adapted by collaborating learners to meet their needs and to enhance the effectiveness of their learning. Learners are empowered to generate new tools and functions according to their needs, and can help to establish a livelier and personally more meaningful learning and experience. Thesystems genericand ROLE framework uses an open source approach,context interoperable across software technology. The project consortium consists of 16 partners across Europe and China from both academia and industry and covers all required pedagogical and technical competencies necessary for research and development in this highly interdisciplinary project. Informatik 5 is the vicecoordinator of the project, acting as technical leader and community facilitator. This year’s highlight was the ROLE general assembly in conjunction with ICWL 2009 in Aachen.

EU Life Long Learning Program TeLLNet: Teachers’ Lifelong Learning Networks

M. Jarke, R. Klamma, Y. Cao, Z. Petrushyna, Petrushyna, R. Vuorikari Vuorikari (European Schoolnet)

The new EU Life Long Learning Project TeLLNet supports the European Schoolnet, a cooperation network of over 45.000 schools, in cooperation with the European Schoolnet, Open University the Netherlands, and Institute for Prospective Technological Studies (IPTS) as one of European Commission Joint Research Centers. Social Network Analysis (SNA) applies graph theories, network analysis methodologies and approaches on social networks to analyze patterns of human communication, cooperation, and other kinds of interaction taking  place in business, business, organizations and and the World Wide Web. SNA provides a useful useful approach to identifying social capital and social structure. Small world effect and scale-free networks are observed and analyzed. This research work is based on both theoretical research and practices. A couple of practical prototypes provide user communities useful tools to get to know their networks well and to find out their social network patterns. The eTwinning Network Visualization (eVA) provides the visualization and performs Social Network Analysis of 45,000 schools in Europe.

 Non-linear digital storytelling for the battleship “G. Averof” is an interdisciplinary research r esearch  project with Harokopio University, Athens, starting in 2009 within the IKYDA program. The IKYDA program is an integrated action program between German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and the Greek State Scholarship Foundation (I.K.Y) since 2000 to promote academic research cooperation between German and Greek researchers. The battleship “G. Averof” is the world's only surviving heavily armored cruiser of the early 20th century and serves as a museum operated by the Greek Navy today. This research project aims at the  promotion and enrichment of the museum archives for cultural heritage management. We seek to share knowledge on advanced storytelling platforms and services for the battleship "G. Averof" with advanced 3D scanners, helicopter cameras to capture objects on the battleship. It  provides communities more opportunities to create, access, share, and even reuse the large valuable multimedia the battleship “G. Averof” withsoftware, Web 2.0 storytelling, storytelling technologies. It willcollection contributeabout to advanced research on social multimedia metadata, GIS, and cultural heritage manageme management nt together with the project Virtual Campfire etc. Researchers from Harokopio University have paid two visits in June 2008 to exchange knowledge with the colleagues at Informatik I nformatik 5.

RWTH-DAAD Research Project: Closing the Semantic Semantic Gap of Image and Video Retrieval for Faked Multimedia

M. Jarke, R. Klamma, K.A.N. Rashed, M. Lux (U. Klagenfurt), H. Kosch (U. Passau)

The project is supported by German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).The goal of the  project is the integration of content-based multimedia search and retrieval techniques with

 

respect to low-level semantics of multimedia and high-level semantics (generated from social networks like Flickr) to detect and classify faked multimedia. Main objectives of the project are: analyzing visual features of suspected multimedia, investigating the impact of community involvement in detection of faked multimedia, and developing methodologies to combine low-level and high-level semantic techniques to detect faked multimedia. In 2008-2009, we concentrated on constructing the faked multimedia dataset, analyzing the impact of low-level descriptors (e.g. color, texture) in multimedia fake detection, and investigating possible alternative techniques and descriptors.

SunSITE Central Europe (http://sunsite.informatik.rwth (http://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de) -aachen.de)

M. Jarke, R. Klamma, R. Linde

Since 1995, Informatik 5 is active in the field of internet-based community support, both in terms of research on community and web service tools and in terms of providing infrastructures for scientific communities worldwide. For example, Informatik 5 hosted the first website for the city of Aachen in 1995 and, since the same year, manages on onee of the most successful public-domain Internet servers in the German science net, SunSITE Central Europe. by Sun Microsystems powerful hardware and mirrors base software, SunSITE Supported Central Europe focuses on scientificwith community support, including of some of the most important research literature indexes, workspaces for Internet cooperation, and about 3 TB of open source software. Typically, the SunSITE enjoys around 23 million ftp and http accesses per month.

i* Wiki (http://istar.rwth-aachen (http://istar.rwth-aachen.de) .de)

M. Jarke, G. Lakemeyer, R. Klamma, D. Schmitz, D. Renzel

Since September 2005, Informatik 5 is hosting the i* Wiki, a platform for researchers and users to foster investigation, collaboration, and evaluation in the context of the i* modeling language. Model Management

M. Jarke, C. Quix, M.A. Chatti, S. Geisler, D. Kensche, X. Li, C. Schwering

Research in model management focuses on the formal definition of structures and operators for the management of complex data models to support applications dealing with the integration, maintenance, and evolution of data models. Based on the generic role-based meta model GeRoMe, the group developed the generic model management GeRoMeSuite  which includes support for model management operations such as schema matching, composition of mappings, schema integration, and model transformation. In 2009, the group worked particularly on methods for query rewriting in peer data management systems. The GeRoMeSuite application was extended by a user interface for defining generic queries and a component for peer-to-peer communication. A query posed to

 

one peer is rewritten into a query against the schema of another peer using the generic mapping language of GeRoMe. A number of master thesis projects were conducted in this context, including in particular master students within the European Master of Informatics Erasmus-Mundus program in cooperation with the University of Trento (Prof. Fabio Casati, Prof. Maurizio Marchese) and the University of Edinburgh. In addition, the following projects were worked on beyond participation in UMIC:

Conceptual Design of a Metamodel for Industry Automation

M. Jarke, C. Quix, D. Schmitz, M. Zhang

The control of production plants employs the research for decades. Due to a large variety in  production processes, machine types, factory layouts layouts,, and many component suppliers, a large quantity of device controls, communication systems, production control software, engineering engineering and visualization software, production planning systems and further control systems in hardware and software have been developed at the market. The grown heterogeneity makes interoperability and thus the flexibility in component selection more difficult. This is because for the operation of a production plant, all components must be interconnected using interfaces and protocols such that an integrated automation architecture is formed. Most important aids for the control of the complexity of such automation architecture are models. They formally describe both control components and production processes, and thereby support planning, control and regulation of production processes. The diversity of the component suppliers and of the involved communities implies heterogeneity in the models and used modeling languages: they are proprietary, domain specific, and often incompatible. This applies also to production plants, which combine both discrete and continuous manufacturing processes processes.. A goal of this project is it to define the requirements for a common, uniform metamodel for industry automation, both for discrete manufacturing and for process engineering. This includes the definition of a common terminology and the basic structures of the metamodel. Informatik 5 cooperates with the Laboratory for Machine Tools and Production Engineering (WZL, Brecher) and the ofisProcess Engineering Epple) of RWTH Prof. Aachen University. TheChair project funded Control as a Pathfinder project(PLT, in theProf. context of the Exploratory Research Space at RWTH Aachen.

Models for Quality Management in Schema Matching with Applications to Medicine

M. Jarke, C. Quix, S. Geisler, D. Kensche, X. Li, A. Gal (Technion Haifa)

Schema matching is the task of providing correspondences between concepts describing the meaning of data in various heterogeneous, distributed data sources. Schema matching is recognized to be one of the basic operations required by the process of data and schema integration and thus has a great impact on its outcome. As such, schema matching has impact on numerous modern applications. Somewhat surprisingly, up until recently there was little

 

fundamental research that can lead to a theoretically rigorous infrastructure for further development of algorithmic solutions to the problem of schema matching. Having a theoretical basis in place, one could start and design a set of algorithms to support the design of schema matching, enhancing user effectiveness. In this pilot project, which is funded by the Umbrella Cooperation Program, Informatik 5 cooperates with Avigdor Gal (Technion Haifa, Israel) to investigate the following open fundamental research question: What qualifies as a good schema matcher? Most research work offer empirical, explanatory analysis, testing their proposed schema matchers using common a posteriori metrics such as recall and  precision. An interesting question is whether one can suggest a priori measures to identify a good schema matcher for a specific problem instance. A positive answer to this question would allow the use of schema matching and data integration even if the outcome is somewhat uncertain. Two applications in the area of medicine of such an outcome are online monitoring of patient's health and personal medical records.

ConceptBase: A Deductive Object Manager for Meta Databases

M. Jarke, C. Quix, D. Kensche, S. Geisler, X. Li, M.A. M. A. Jeusfeld (Uni Tilburg, NL)

ConceptBase is a multi-user deductive object management. manager mainly for conceptual modeling, metadata management and model The intended system implements the knowledge representation language Telos  which amalgamates properties of deductive and object-oriented languages. Since summer 2009, ConceptBase is available as an open-source system under FreeBSD license. In addition, version 7.2 includes many improvements in query evaluation and object processing. The book Metamodeling for Method Engineering, edited by Manfred A. Jeusfeld, Matthias Jarke, and John Mylopoulos is now also available. The book presents the theoretical basis of metamodeling for method engineering, and reports also on applications of the metamodeling approach to method engineering. These applications have been developed using the Telos language and the ConceptBase system.

AdMIRE: Advanced Music Information Retrieval Environments

M. Jarke, D. Lübbers

In this project we investigate user-friendly music information retrieval systems that combine content-based feature extractors and collaborative similarity functions. Our main focus is the development of an immersive multimodal three-dimensional virtual landscape in which the user can freely navigate guided by surrounding acoustic clues and explore a given music collection which has been organized according to a well-defined notion of similarity. In this academic year we primarily focused on the integration of personalized similarity measures into our research prototype soniXplorer. Observing the user´s interaction with the exploration environment we reweight a mixture of implemented distance functions covering different musical aspects and thereby adapt the organization strategy to his notion of similarity.

 

 

IT Summit 2008: Interactive Project Map for erlebe-it.de

M. Jarke, C. Quix

Informatik 5 and Fraunhofer FIT developed an interactive map for the technology recruitment initiative of BITKOM, the Federal Association for Information Technology, Telecommunications and New Media. The website http://www.erlebe-it.de features information about cooperation projects between IT industry and schools. The initiative  provides information at pupils about education and study programs in IT. The interactive map  provides a geographical overview of the activities in Germany. IT-Scouts (professionals with an expertise in education and IT) and companies participating in this initiative are shown on the map such that a school can easily find a local contact point to learn more about the education possibilities in the IT industry.

BMBF ExPrimage: Automated Multi-dimensional Tissue Diagnostics to Improve Prognosis and Therapeutic Recommendations in Breast Cancer

T. Berlage, D. Zühlke, Y. Wang, M. Häusler

In this projected, supported by the German Ministry of Research (BMBF), we are working on the image analysis in multiple layers of magnification. The goal is to combine findings at the cellular and local level with an analysis of the global tumor structure. In 2009, we were able to geometrically register multiple images of adjacent slides through the tumor, which were treated with different markers. Using this integrated information, we could identify classes of tumor tissue, both using supervised learning and unsupervised clustering. These annotations will then be combined with local findings, such as areas of inflammatory cells. The work has  been conducted in close cooperation with the University of Hamburg (Pathology Niendorf) as the medical partner and Zeiss and Qiagen as major industrial partners.

 

Other Activities Service

Within the RWTH Future Concept “RWTH-2020”, Prof. Jarke is responsible for the activity “International Recruiting”. In cooperation with Prof. Hornke (Psychology), Z. Petrushyna, V. Busch (International Office), A. Schulz (RWTH International Academy), and representatives of four pilot departments, the team analyzed the present situation, the departmental requirements, and future strategies for the recruiting of more top international faculty and top international graduate students. A number of measures were piloted in both areas, and the roll-out of some successful ones is planned for the coming year. Since the start of RWTH2020, the share of international hires at the professorial levels has increased by almost 50%, and very significant quality improvements in international master student recruiting can be observed in several study programs. Prof. Jarke’s other major administrative and service activities in 2008-2009 included: included:   Deputy coordinator, UMIC Excellence Cluster on Mobile Information I nformation and
