Qualitative Wissenschaft, künstlerisches Forschen und forschendes Lernen verbinden Erkenntnis aus Praxis und Erfahrung. In der Autoethnographie der eigenen Werkstatt des Hörens wie der Kultur in Studios anderer, wird die noch neue Interdisziplin Sound (Studies) erprobt und vertieft, mit Impulsen für die Praxis und Theorie, von der noch wenig bekannten A/r/t ographie heute, hin zu einer künftig A/R/Tophonie, dem künstlerischen Forschen in der Musik, ebenso wie durch Klang Komposition, Radio Kunst und visuelle Musik.
Im vorliegenden Bericht werden die Arbeiten und Ergebnisse der Hochschule Offenburg (HSOG) des Teilvorhabens 3 (TV3) dargestellt. Im Rahmen dieses Teilvorhabens war die HSOG direkt in das Teilprojekt 3 – berufsbegleitender Bachelorstudiengang Informatik/IT-Sicherheit – involviert. Für dieses Teilprojekt wurden Studieninhalte entwickelt und die Pilotierung für ausgewählte Jahrgänge durchgeführt.
Critical theory and philosophy across many fields in the humanities has become awash with what has been characterised as ‘the material turn’. This material turn, which seems to involve varying combinations of what is known as Object Orientated Ontology (Harman), Actor-Network Theory (Latour), process philosophy (Whitehead), speculative realism (Bryant), or agential realism (Barad), emphasises some move toward a posthuman understanding of what the world is, and our relation to it.
Die in diesem Aufsatz angesprochenen drei Skype-Performances, die wir im Zeitraum von 2010 bis 2013 durchgeführt haben, fokussieren nicht auf die trennenden Momente der handelnden Subjekte und ihrer Medien, sondern verfolgen eine radikal verkörperte, techno-ökologische Sichtweise. Im Kern untersuchen wir erweiterte Phänotypen , die durch das fortlaufende Parasitiert-Werden unserer Organismen durch die elektronischen Kanäle entstehen. So gesehen verbinden sich via Skype keine getrennten Personen und Orte, sie bilden vielmehr über die Präsenzerfahrung u.a. von Stimme, Haut und Rhythmus eine gemeinsame Umwelt und öffnen temporär einen ‚Dritten Raum‘ bzw. einen ‚Dritten Körper‘. Mensch, Maschine und Umwelt entwickeln durch die Medialisierung eine emergente Bezogenheit organischer und anorganischer Milieus, eine taktil/haptisch-mediale, verkörperte Ökologie. Das ist eine zentrale Annahme unserer Versuchsreihen.
Computing Aggregates on Autonomous, Self-organizing Multi-Agent System: Application "Smart Grid"
(2017)
Decentralized data aggregation plays an important role in estimating the state of the smart grid, allowing the determination of meaningful system-wide measures (such as the current power generation, consumption, etc.) to balance the power in the grid environment. Data aggregation is often practicable if the aggregation is performed effectively. However, many existing approaches are lacking in terms of fault-tolerance. We present an approach to construct a robust self-organizing overlay by exploiting the heterogeneous characteristics of the nodes and interlinking the most reliable nodes to form an stable unstructured overlay. The network structure can recover from random state perturbations in finite time and tolerates substantial message loss. Our approach is inspired from biological and sociological self-organizing mechanisms.
Defining Recrutainment: A Model and a Survey on the Gamification of Recruiting and Human Resources
(2017)
Recrutainment, is a hybrid word combining recruiting and entertainment. It describes the combination of activities in human resources and gamification. Concepts and methods from game design are now used to assess and select future employees. Beyond this area, recrutainment is also applied for internal processes like professional development or even marketing campaigns. This paper’s contribution has four components: (1) we provide a conceptual background, leading to a more precise definition of recrutainment; (2) we develop a new model for analyzing solutions in recrutainment; (3) we present a corpus of 42 applications and use the new model to assess their strengths and potentials; (4) we provide a bird’s eye view on the state of the art in recrutainment and show the current weighting of gamification and recruiting aspects.
Applications helping us to maintain the focus on work are called “Zenware” (from concentration and Zen). While form factors, use cases and functionality vary, all these applications have a common goal: creating uninterrupted, focused attention on the task at hand. The rise of such tools exemplifies the users’ desire to control their attention within the context of omnipresent distraction. In expert interviews we investigate approaches in the context of attention-management at the workplace of knowledge workers. To gain a broad understanding, we use judgement sampling in interviews with experts from several disciplines. We especially explore how focus and flow can be stimulated. Our contribution has four components: a brief overview on the state of the art (1), a presentation of the results (2), strategies for coping with digital distractions and design guidelines for future Zenware (3) and an outlook on the overall potential in digital work environments (4).
This chapter portrays the historical and mathematical background of dynamic and procedural content generation (PCG). We portray and compare various PCG methods and analyze which mathematical approach is suited for typical applications in game design. In the next step, a structural overview of games applying PCG as well as types of PCG is presented. As abundant PCG content can be overwhelming, we discuss context-aware adaptation as a way to adapt the challenge to individual players’ requirements. Finally, we take a brief look at the future of PCG.
The aim of the smart grid is to achieve more efficient, distributed and secure supply of energy over the traditional power grid by using a bidirectional information flow between the grid agents (e.g. generator node, customer). One of the key optimization problems in smart grid is to produce power among generator nodes with a minimum cost while meeting the customer demand, known as Economic Dispatch Problem (EDP). In recent years, many distributed approaches to solve EDP have been proposed. However, protecting the privacy-sensitive data of individual generator nodes has been largely overlooked in the existing solutions. In this work, we show an attack against an existing auction-based EDP protocol considering a non-colluding semi-honest adversary. We briefly introduce our approach to a practical privacy-preserving EDP solution as our work in progress.
