On the one hand, it can be implemented in a C-like language for best performance and maximum control over the resulting executable. On the other hand, it can be implemented in a language such as Java that allows for higher-level abstractions. These abstractions, such as proper object-oriented modularization, automatic memory management, or interfaces, are missing in C-like languages but they can simplify the implementation of prevalent but complex concepts in VMs, such as garbage collectors (GCs) or just-in-time compilers (JITs). Yet, the implementation of a dynamic object-oriented language in Java eventually results in two VMs on top of each other (double stack), which impedes performance. For statically typed languages, the Maxine VM solves this problem; it is written in Java but can be executed without a Java virtual machine (JVM). However, it is currently not possible to execute dynamic object-oriented languages in Maxine. This work presents an approach to bringing object models and execution models of dynamic object-oriented languages to the Maxine VM and the application of this approach to Squeak/Smalltalk. The representation of objects in and the execution of dynamic object-oriented languages pose certain challenges to the Maxine VM that lacks certain variation points necessary to enable an effortless and straightforward implementation of dynamic object-oriented languages' execution models. The implementation of Squeak/Smalltalk in Maxine as a feasibility study is to unveil such missing variation points.}, language = {en} } @book{SchwalbKruegerPlattner2013, author = {Schwalb, David and Kr{\"u}ger, Jens and Plattner, Hasso}, title = {Cache conscious column organization in in-memory column stores}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-228-5}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-63890}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {v, 84}, year = {2013}, abstract = {Cost models are an essential part of database systems, as they are the basis of query performance optimization. Based on predictions made by cost models, the fastest query execution plan can be chosen and executed or algorithms can be tuned and optimised. In-memory databases shifts the focus from disk to main memory accesses and CPU costs, compared to disk based systems where input and output costs dominate the overall costs and other processing costs are often neglected. However, modelling memory accesses is fundamentally different and common models do not apply anymore. This work presents a detailed parameter evaluation for the plan operators scan with equality selection, scan with range selection, positional lookup and insert in in-memory column stores. Based on this evaluation, a cost model based on cache misses for estimating the runtime of the considered plan operators using different data structures is developed. Considered are uncompressed columns, bit compressed and dictionary encoded columns with sorted and unsorted dictionaries. Furthermore, tree indices on the columns and dictionaries are discussed. Finally, partitioned columns consisting of one partition with a sorted and one with an unsorted dictionary are investigated. New values are inserted in the unsorted dictionary partition and moved periodically by a merge process to the sorted partition. An efficient attribute merge algorithm is described, supporting the update performance required to run enterprise applications on read-optimised databases. Further, a memory traffic based cost model for the merge process is provided.}, language = {en} } @book{VogelGiese2013, author = {Vogel, Thomas and Giese, Holger}, title = {Model-driven engineering of adaptation engines for self-adaptive software : executable runtime megamodels}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-227-8}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-63825}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {vi, 59}, year = {2013}, abstract = {The development of self-adaptive software requires the engineering of an adaptation engine that controls and adapts the underlying adaptable software by means of feedback loops. The adaptation engine often describes the adaptation by using runtime models representing relevant aspects of the adaptable software and particular activities such as analysis and planning that operate on these runtime models. To systematically address the interplay between runtime models and adaptation activities in adaptation engines, runtime megamodels have been proposed for self-adaptive software. A runtime megamodel is a specific runtime model whose elements are runtime models and adaptation activities. Thus, a megamodel captures the interplay between multiple models and between models and activities as well as the activation of the activities. In this article, we go one step further and present a modeling language for ExecUtable RuntimE MegAmodels (EUREMA) that considerably eases the development of adaptation engines by following a model-driven engineering approach. We provide a domain-specific modeling language and a runtime interpreter for adaptation engines, in particular for feedback loops. Megamodels are kept explicit and alive at runtime and by interpreting them, they are directly executed to run feedback loops. Additionally, they can be dynamically adjusted to adapt feedback loops. Thus, EUREMA supports development by making feedback loops, their runtime models, and adaptation activities explicit at a higher level of abstraction. Moreover, it enables complex solutions where multiple feedback loops interact or even operate on top of each other. Finally, it leverages the co-existence of self-adaptation and off-line adaptation for evolution.}, language = {en} } @book{BeyhlBlouinGieseetal.2016, author = {Beyhl, Thomas and Blouin, Dominique and Giese, Holger and Lambers, Leen}, title = {On the operationalization of graph queries with generalized discrimination networks}, number = {106}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-372-5}, issn = {1613-5652}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-96279}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {33}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Graph queries have lately gained increased interest due to application areas such as social networks, biological networks, or model queries. For the relational database case the relational algebra and generalized discrimination networks have been studied to find appropriate decompositions into subqueries and ordering of these subqueries for query evaluation or incremental updates of query results. For graph database queries however there is no formal underpinning yet that allows us to find such suitable operationalizations. Consequently, we suggest a simple operational concept for the decomposition of arbitrary complex queries into simpler subqueries and the ordering of these subqueries in form of generalized discrimination networks for graph queries inspired by the relational case. The approach employs graph transformation rules for the nodes of the network and thus we can employ the underlying theory. We further show that the proposed generalized discrimination networks have the same expressive power as nested graph conditions.}, language = {en} } @book{Mueller2017, author = {M{\"u}ller, Dorothee}, title = {Der Berufswahlprozess von Informatiklehrkr{\"a}ften}, number = {11}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-392-3}, issn = {1868-0844}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-101819}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {xiv, 299}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Seit Jahren ist der Mangel an Informatiklehrkr{\"a}ften bekannt und wird fachdidaktisch und politisch diskutiert. Aufgrund der geringen Anzahl von Studierenden mit dem Berufsziel Informatiklehrkraft ist eine Vergr{\"o}ßerung des Mangels vorhersehbar. Es stellt sich die Frage, warum so wenige Studierende sich f{\"u}r das Studienziel Lehramt Informatik entscheiden. Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es, die Berufswahl von Informatiklehrkr{\"a}ften aus der individuellen, biographischen Perspektive der Beteiligten zu erforschen und dabei Faktoren zu identifizieren, die die Berufswahl Informatiklehrkraft positiv oder negativ beeinflussen. Der Forschungsschwerpunkt liegt auf der qualitativen empirischen Untersuchung des Berufswahlprozesses, w{\"a}hrend eine quantitative Befragung aktiver Informatiklehrkr{\"a}fte zu berufswahlrelevanten Aspekten des Berufsbildes diese erg{\"a}nzt. Das Forschungskonzept der qualitativen Untersuchung orientiert sich an der Grounded Theory. Es wurden angehende Informatiklehrkr{\"a}fte zu ihrem Berufswahlprozess befragt, wobei die Daten durch m{\"u}ndliche Interviews, Gruppendiskussionen und schriftliche Berufswahlbiographien erhoben wurden. Die Datenauswertung orientiert sich zudem methodisch an der dokumentarischen Methode nach Ralf Bohnsack. Die Ergebnisse der Untersuchung zeigen, dass der Berufswahlprozess von angehenden Informatiklehrkr{\"a}ften h{\"a}ufig mit Umwegen in Form von Studienzielwechseln verbunden ist. Neben dem eigenen Bild der Informatik und dem Informatikselbstkonzept kommt dem Informatikunterricht der eigenen Schulzeit eine wichtige Rolle in diesem Prozess zu. Von der Lehrerforschung werden die Unterrichtserfahrungen w{\"a}hrend der eigenen Schulzeit im sp{\"a}ter studierten Fach als entscheidend f{\"u}r die Fachwahl identifiziert. Dies best{\"a}tigt sich in den Berufswahlbiographien derjenigen angehenden Informatiklehrkr{\"a}fte, die den Informatikunterricht ihrer eigenen Schulzeit positiv erinnern. Diese streben meist direkt in ihrem ersten Studium das Berufsziel Informatiklehrkraft an. Sie hatten zur Schulzeit ein positives Bild der Informatik und ein hohes Informatikselbstkonzept. Der Informatiklehrkraft ihrer Schulzeit bescheinigen sie oft eine berufliche Vorbildfunktion. Allerdings hatten die meisten der befragten angehenden Informatiklehrkr{\"a}fte selbst keinen Informatikunterricht oder erinnern diesen negativ. Der Weg zum Studium Informatiklehrkraft f{\"u}hrt bei diesen Befragten h{\"a}ufig {\"u}ber den Umweg von zun{\"a}chst anderen Studienentscheidungen, meistens {\"u}ber ein Lehramtsstudium mit anderen F{\"a}chern oder ein Informatikstudium. Die Informatikstudierenden haben zum Zeitpunkt ihrer ersten Studienwahl ein positives Bild der Informatik und ein hohes Informatikselbstkonzept aber kein positives Berufsbild Informatiklehrkraft. Ihr Wechsel von einem Informatikstudium zum Studium mit dem Berufsziel Informatiklehrkraft wird in der Regel durch den Wunsch nach einer st{\"a}rkeren sozialen Komponente im sp{\"a}teren Berufsalltag ausgel{\"o}st. Bei den Lehramtsstudierenden, die h{\"a}ufig zun{\"a}chst ein niedriges Informatikselbstkonzept und/oder ein negatives Bild der Informatik haben, kann es zu einer Umorientierung hin zum Studienziel Informatiklehrkraft kommen, wenn diese Vorstellungen sich w{\"a}hrend des ersten Studiums - z. B. durch den Besuch von universit{\"a}ren Lehrveranstaltungen zu informatischen Inhalten - {\"a}ndern.

In the case of model-driven software engineering, employed versioning approaches also have to handle situations where different artifacts, that is, different models, are linked via automatic model transformations. In this report, we propose a technique for jointly handling the transformation of multiple versions of a source model into corresponding versions of a target model, which enables the use of a more compact representation that may afford improved execution time of both the transformation and further analysis operations. Our approach is based on the well-known formalism of triple graph grammars and a previously introduced encoding of model version histories called multi-version models. In addition to showing the correctness of our approach with respect to the standard semantics of triple graph grammars, we conduct an empirical evaluation that demonstrates the potential benefit regarding execution time performance.}, language = {en} } @book{GerkenUebernickeldePaula2022, author = {Gerken, Stefanie and Uebernickel, Falk and de Paula, Danielly}, title = {Design Thinking: a Global Study on Implementation Practices in Organizations}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-525-5}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-53466}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-534668}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {230}, year = {2022}, abstract = {These days design thinking is no longer a "new approach".

Despite its growing relevance and the diffusion of design thinking, knowledge on the actual status quo in organizations remains scarce. With a new study, the research team of Prof. Uebernickel and Stefanie Gerken investigates temporal developments and changes in design thinking practices in organizations over the past six years comparing the results of the 2015 "Parts without a whole" study with current practices and future developments. Companies of all sizes and from different parts of the world participated in the survey.

Various model-based approaches exist to understand and analyze their internal effects. In this paper, we model the space structure dynamics and ecological dynamics of meta-ecosystems using the formal technique of Graph Transformation (short GT). We build GT models to describe how a meta-ecosystem (modeled as a graph) can evolve over time (modeled by GT rules) and to analyze these GT models with respect to qualitative properties such as the existence of structural stabilities. As a case study, we build three GT models describing the space structure dynamics and ecological dynamics of three different savanna meta-ecosystems. The first GT model considers a savanna meta-ecosystem that is limited in space to two ecosystem patches, whereas the other two GT models consider two savanna meta-ecosystems that are unlimited in the number of ecosystem patches and only differ in one GT rule describing how the space structure of the meta-ecosystem grows. In the first two GT models, the space structure dynamics and ecological dynamics of the meta-ecosystem shows two main structural stabilities: the first one based on grassland-savanna-woodland transitions and the second one based on grassland-desert transitions. The transition between these two structural stabilities is driven by high-intensity fires affecting the tree components. In the third GT model, the GT rule for savanna regeneration induces desertification and therefore a collapse of the meta-ecosystem. We believe that GT models provide a complementary avenue to that of existing approaches to rigorously study ecological phenomena.}, language = {en} } @book{OPUS4-10026, title = {Proceedings of the 10th Ph.D. Retreat of the HPI Research School on Service-oriented Systems Engineering}, number = {111}, editor = {Meinel, Christoph and Plattner, Hasso and D{\"o}llner, J{\"u}rgen Roland Friedrich and Weske, Mathias and Polze, Andreas and Hirschfeld, Robert and Naumann, Felix and Giese, Holger and Baudisch, Patrick and Friedrich, Tobias and M{\"u}ller, Emmanuel}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-390-9}, issn = {1613-5652}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-100260}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {vi, 255}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Design and Implementation of service-oriented architectures imposes a huge number of research questions from the fields of software engineering, system analysis and modeling, adaptability, and application integration.
