Plädoyer für eine stärkere Berücksichtigung des Datenschutzes in der ESG-Dimension
No full textDie Problemstellung, die diesem neuen Arbeitspapier zugrunde liegt, ist die Kritik an der bisherigen Etablierung des Datenschutzes in der ESG-Dimension und die Berücksichtigung dessen in dem ESG-Score, welcher eine grundlegende Orientierung für Investitionsentscheidungen von ESG-Anlegern darstellt

No full textSensor Object Plausibilization with Boids Flocking Algorithm
No full textDriver assistance systems are increasingly becoming part of the standard equipment of vehicles and thus contribute to road safety. However, as they become more widespread, the requirements for cost efficiency are also increasing, and so few and inexpensive sensors are used in these systems. Especially in challenging situations, this leads to the fact that target discrimination cannot be ensured which in turn leads to a false reaction of the driver assistance system. Typically, the interaction between moving traffic participants is not modeled directly in the environmental model so that tracked objects can split, merge or disappear. The Boids flocking algorithm is used to model the interaction between road users on already tracked objects by applying the movement rules (separation, cohesion, alignment) on the boids. This facilitates the creation of semantic neighborhood information between road users. We show in a comprehensive simulation that with only 7 boids per traffic participant, the estimated median separation between objects can improve from 2.4 m to 3 m for a ground truth of 3.7 m. The bottom percentile improves from 1.85 m to 2.8 m
Improving service value creation for manufacturing SMEs by overcoming data sharing hurdles in ecosystems
No full textPurpose: Although there is an apparent potential in using data for advanced services in manufacturing environments, SMEs are reluctant to share data with their ecosystem partners, which prevents them from leveraging this potential. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to analyse the reasons behind these resistances. The argumentation paves the way for elaborating countermeasures that are adequate for the specific situation and the typical capabilities of SMEs.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The analysis is based on literature research and in-depth interviews with management representatives of 15 companies in manufacturing service ecosystems. Half of these are manufacturers and the other half technology or service providers for manufacturers. They are SMEs or partly larger companies operating in structures that are typical for SMEs.
Findings: Data sharing hurdles are investigated in the five dimensions, 1. quantifying the value of data, 2. willingness to share data and trust, 3. organizational culture and mindset, 4. legal aspects, and 5. security and privacy. The ability to quantify the value of data is a necessary but not sufficient precondition for data sharing, which must be enabled by adequate measures in the other four dimensions.
Originality/Value: The findings of this empirical study and the solution approach provide an SME-specific framework to analyze hurdles that must be overcome for sharing data in an ecosystem.
Manufacturing SMEs can apply the framework to overcome the hurdles by specific insights and solution approaches. Furthermore, the analysis illustrates the future research direction of the project towards a comprehensive solution approach for data sharing in a manufacturing ecosystem
Wirkung von Design verstehen
Get PDFUm das Konstrukt Corporate Design verstehen zu lernen und einen methodischen Ansatz zur Schulung des gestalterischen Gespürs im Gestaltungsprozess zu generieren, untersucht die Independent Study bestehende Marken mithilfe theoretischer Grundlagen aus der Rhetorik. In vier Case Studies werden Corporate Designs oder Aspekte dieser unter gestalterischen sowie rhetorischen Regeln betrachtet. Die Beschäftigung mit Marken auf diese Art und Weise schafft Erfahrungen mit der Thematik, während die angewendeten Methodiken systematisches Denken in der Gestaltung fördert und einen methodischen Werkzeugkasten ermöglicht
Trajectory Tracking of a Fully-Actuated Surface Vessel Using Nonlinear Model Predictive Control: Experimental Results
No full textThe trajectory tracking problem for a real-scaled fully-actuated surface vessel is addressed in this paper. A nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) scheme was designed to track a reference trajectory, considering state and input constraints, and environmental disturbances, which were assumed to be constant over the prediction horizon. The controller was tested by performing docking maneuvers using the real-scaled research vessel from the University of Applied Sciences Konstanz at the Rhine river in Germany. A comparison between the experimental results and the simulated ones was analyzed to validate the NMPC controller
