We demonstrate also how to introduce logarithm independently of mathematical formalism using a conceptual model for reducing a problem size by at least half. It is quite surprising that the idea, which leads to logarithm, is present in Euclid's algorithm described almost 2000 years before John Napier invented logarithm.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{SadrAzodi2015, author = {Sadr-Azodi, Amir Shahab}, title = {Towards Real-time SIEM-based Network monitoring and Intrusion Detection through Advanced Event Normalization}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {144}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @article{Curzon2015, author = {Curzon, Paul}, title = {Unplugged Computational Thinking for Fun}, series = {KEYCIT 2014 - Key Competencies in Informatics and ICT}, journal = {KEYCIT 2014 - Key Competencies in Informatics and ICT}, number = {7}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {1868-0844}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-82575}, pages = {15 -- 27}, year = {2015}, abstract = {Computational thinking is a fundamental skill set that is learned by studying Informatics and ICT.

We also argue that understanding people is an important part of computational thinking.

Using the open-source Arduino platform, we expect students to acquire and develop both CS and Physical Science competencies by using a self-programmed microcontroller. In addition to this combined development of competencies in Physical Science and CS, the subject matter will be embedded in suitable contexts and learning environments, such as weather and climate.}, language = {en} } @article{DelgadoKloos2015, author = {Delgado Kloos, Carlos}, title = {What about the Competencies of Educators in the New Era of Digital Education?}, series = {KEYCIT 2014 - Key Competencies in Informatics and ICT}, journal = {KEYCIT 2014 - Key Competencies in Informatics and ICT}, number = {7}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {1868-0844}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-83015}, pages = {435 -- 438}, year = {2015}, abstract = {A lot has been published about the competencies needed by students in the 21st century (Ravenscroft et al., 2012).
