  abstract  = {A critical task in daily communications is identifying who did what to whom in an utterance, or assigning the thematic roles agent and patient in a sentence. This dissertation is concerned with Tagalog-speaking children's use of word order and morphosyntactic markers for thematic role assignment. It aims to explain children's difficulties in interpreting sentences with a non-canonical order of arguments (i.e., patient-before-agent) by testing the predictions of the following accounts: the frequency account (Demuth, 1989), the Competition model (MacWhinney \& Bates, 1989), and the incremental processing account (Trueswell \& Gleitman, 2004). Moreover, the experiments in this dissertation test the influence of a word order strategy in a language like Tagalog, where the thematic roles are always unambiguous in a sentence, due to its verb-initial order and its voice-marking system. In Tagalog's voice-marking system, the inflection on the verb indicates the thematic role of the noun marked by 'ang.' First, the possible basis for a word order strategy in Tagalog was established using a sentence completion experiment given to adults and 5- and 7-year-old children (Chapter 2) and a child-directed speech corpus analysis (Chapter 3). In general, adults and children showed an agent-before-patient preference, although adults' preference was also affected by sentence voice. Children's comprehension was then examined through a self-paced listening and picture verification task (Chapter 3) and an eye-tracking and picture selection task (Chapter 4), where word order (agent-initial or patient-initial) and voice (agent voice or patient voice) were manipulated. Offline (i.e., accuracy) and online (i.e., listening times, looks to the target) measures revealed that 5- and 7-year-old Tagalog-speaking children had a bias to interpret the first noun as the agent. Additionally, the use of word order and morphosyntactic markers was found to be modulated by voice. In the agent voice, children relied more on a word order strategy; while in the patient voice, they relied on the morphosyntactic markers. These results are only partially explained by the accounts being tested in this dissertation. Instead, the findings support computational accounts of incremental word prediction and learning such as Chang, Dell, \& Bock's (2006) model.},

  abstract  = {Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist die Entwicklung eines Industrie 4.0 Reifegradindex f{\"u}r produzierende Unternehmen (KMU und Mittelstand) mit diskreter Produktion. Die Motivation zu dieser Arbeit entstand aus dem Z{\"o}gern vieler Unternehmen - insbesondere KMU und Mittelstand - bei der Transformation in Richtung Industrie 4.0. Im Rahmen einer Marktstudie konnte belegt werden, dass 86 Prozent der befragten produzierenden Unternehmen kein f{\"u}r ihr Unternehmen geeignetes Industrie 4.0 Reifegradmodell gefunden haben, mit dem sie ihren Status Quo bewerten und Maßnahmen f{\"u}r einen h{\"o}heren Grad der Reife ableiten k{\"o}nnten. Die Bewertung bestehender Reifegradmodelle zeigte Defizite hinsichtlich der Industrie 4.0 Abdeckung, der Betrachtung der sozio-technischen Dimensionen Mensch, Technik und Organisation sowie der Betrachtung von Management und Unternehmenskultur. Basierend auf den aktuellen Industrie 4.0 Technologien und Handlungsbereichen wurde ein neues, modular aufgebautes Industrie 4.0 Reifegradmodell entwickelt, das auf einer ganzheitlichen Betrachtung aller sozio-technischen Dimensionen Mensch, Technik und Organisation sowie deren Schnittstellen basiert. Das Modell ermittelt neben dem Overall Industry 4.0 Maturity Index (OI4MI) vier weitere Indizes zur Bewertung der Industrie 4.0 Reife des Unternehmens. Das Modell wurde bei einem Unternehmen validiert und steht nun als Template f{\"u}r darauf aufbauende Forschungsarbeiten zur Verf{\"u}gung.},

  abstract  = {Modern technologies enable the actors of a production process to autonomous decision-making, information-processing, and decision- execution. It devolves hierarchical controlled relationships and distributes decision-making among many actors. Positive consequences include using local competencies and fast on-site action without (time-)consuming cross-process planning run by a central control instance. Evaluating the decentralization of the process helps to compare different control strategies and thus contributes to the mastery of more complex production processes. Although the importance of the communication structure of these actors increases, no method uses this as a basis for operationalizing decentralization. This motivates the focus of this thesis. It develops a three-level evaluation model determining the decentralization of a production process based on two determinants: the communication and decision-making structure of the autonomous actors involved. Based on a definition of decentralization of production processes, it set requirements for a key value that determines the structural autonomy of the actors and selects a suitable social network analysis metric. The possibility of integrated decision-making and decision execution justifies the additional consideration of the decision structure. The differentiation of both factors forms the basis for the classification of actors; the multiplication of both values results in the characteristic value real autonomy describing the autonomy of an actor, which is the key figure of the model's first level. Homogeneous actor autonomy characterizes a high decentralization of the process step, which is the object of consideration of the second level of the model. Comparing the existing with the maximum possible decentralization of the process steps determines the Autonomy Index. This figure operationalizes the decentralization of the process at the third level of the model. A simulation study with two simulation experiments - a central and a decentral controlled process - at Zentrum Industrie 4.0 validates the evaluation model. The application of the model to an industrial production process underlines the practical applicability.},
