Yet, we argue that executing analytical aggregate queries directly on the transactional data can decrease the overall system performance. Despite the aggregation capabilities of columnar in-memory databases, the direct access to records of a materialized aggregate is always more efficient than aggregating on the fly. The traditional approach to materialized aggregates, however, introduces significant overhead in terms of materialized view selection, maintenance, and exploitation. When this overhead is handled by the application, it increases the application complexity, and can slow down the transactional throughput of inserts, updates, and deletes. In this thesis, we motivate, propose, and evaluate the aggregate cache, a materialized aggregate engine in the main-delta architecture of a columnar in-memory database that provides efficient means to handle costly aggregate queries of enterprise applications. For our design, we leverage the specifics of the main-delta architecture that separates a table into a main and delta partition. The central concept is to only cache the partial aggregate query result as defined on the main partition of a table, because the main partition is relatively stable as records are only inserted into the delta partition. We contribute by proposing incremental aggregate maintenance and query compensation techniques for mixed workloads of enterprise applications. In addition, we introduce aggregate profit metrics that increase the likelihood of persisting the most profitable aggregates in the aggregate cache. Query compensation and maintenance of materialized aggregates based on joins of multiple tables is expensive due to the partitioned tables in the main-delta architecture. Our analysis of enterprise applications has revealed several data schema and workload patterns. This includes the observation that transactional data is persisted in header and item tables, whereas in many cases, the insertion of related header and item records is executed in a single database transaction. We contribute by proposing an approach to transport these application object semantics to the database system and optimize the query processing using the aggregate cache by applying partition pruning and predicate pushdown techniques. For the experimental evaluation, we propose the FICO benchmark that is based on data from a productive ERP system with extracted mixed workloads. Our evaluation reveals that the aggregate cache can accelerate the execution of aggregate queries up to a factor of 60 whereas the speedup highly depends on the number of aggregated records in the main and delta partitions. In mixed workloads, the proposed aggregate maintenance and query compensation techniques perform up to an order of magnitude better than traditional materialized aggregate maintenance approaches. The introduced aggregate profit metrics outperform existing costbased metrics by up to 20\%. Lastly, the join pruning and predicate pushdown techniques can accelerate query execution in the aggregate cache in the presence of multiple partitioned tables by up to an order of magnitude.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Heinze2015, author = {Heinze, Theodor}, title = {Analyse von Patientendaten und Entscheidungsunterst{\"u}tzung in der Telemedizin}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {173}, year = {2015}, language = {de} } @phdthesis{AlSaffar2016, author = {Al-Saffar, Loay Talib Ahmed}, title = {Analysing prerequisites, expectations, apprehensions, and attitudes of University students studying computer science}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {128}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Feinbube2018, author = {Feinbube, Frank}, title = {Ans{\"a}tze zur Integration von Beschleunigern ins Betriebssystem}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {238}, year = {2018}, language = {de} } @phdthesis{Dmitriev2003, author = {Dmitriev, Alexej}, title = {Anwendung alternierender Signale zum Entwurf von Fehlererkennungsschaltungen und Kompaktoren}, pages = {97 S.}, year = {2003}, language = {de} } @phdthesis{Richter2011, author = {Richter, Michael}, title = {Anwendung nichtlinearer Codes zur Fehlererkennung und -korrektur}, address = {Potsdam}, pages = {134 S.}, year = {2011}, language = {de} } @phdthesis{Schult2009, author = {Schult, Wolfgang}, title = {Architektur komponenten-basierter Systeme mit LOOM : Aspekte, Muster, Werkzeuge}, publisher = {Cuvillier}, address = {G{\"o}ttingen}, isbn = {978-3-86955-031-2}, pages = {217 S.}, year = {2009}, language = {de} } @phdthesis{Reinke2003, author = {Reinke, Thomas}, title = {Architekturbasierte Konstruktion von Multiagentensystemen}, pages = {166 S.}, year = {2003}, language = {de} } @phdthesis{Alsadeh2013, author = {Alsadeh, Ahmad}, title = {Augmented secure neighbor discovery: aligning security, privacy and usability}, address = {Potsdam}, pages = {114 S.}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Rasche2008, author = {Rasche, Andreas}, title = {Ausf{\"u}hrung und Entwicklung Adaptiver Komponentenbasierter Anwendungen}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86727-698-6}, pages = {195 S., graph.

Eye movements either alternate between fixations and saccades or follow a smooth pursuit movement in case of moving targets. Besides these macroscopic gaze patterns, the eyes perform involuntary micro-movements during fixations which are commonly categorized into micro-saccades, drift and tremor. Eye movements are frequently studied in cognitive psychology, because they reflect a complex interplay of perception, attention and oculomotor control. A common insight of psychological research is that macro-movements are highly individual. Inspired by this finding, there has been a considerable amount of prior research on oculomotoric biometric identification. However, the accuracy of known approaches is too low and the time needed for identification is too long for any practical application. This thesis explores discriminative models for the task of biometric identification. Discriminative models optimize a quality measure of the predictions and are usually superior to generative approaches in discriminative tasks. However, using discriminative models requires to select a suitable form of data representation for sequential eye gaze data; i.e., by engineering features or constructing a sequence kernel and the performance of the classification model strongly depends on the data representation. We study two fundamentally different ways of representing eye gaze within a discriminative framework. In the first part of this thesis, we explore the integration of data and psychological background knowledge in the form of generative models to construct representations. To this end, we first develop generative statistical models of gaze behavior during reading and scene viewing that account for viewer-specific distributional properties of gaze patterns. In a second step, we develop a discriminative identification model by deriving Fisher kernel functions from these and several baseline models. We find that an SVM with Fisher kernel is able to reliably identify users based on their eye gaze during reading and scene viewing. However, since the generative models are constrained to use low-frequency macro-movements, they discard a significant amount of information contained in the raw eye tracking signal at a high cost: identification requires about one minute of input recording, which makes it inapplicable for real world biometric systems. In the second part of this thesis, we study a purely data-driven modeling approach. Here, we aim at automatically discovering the individual pattern hidden in the raw eye tracking signal. To this end, we develop a deep convolutional neural network DeepEyedentification that processes yaw and pitch gaze velocities and learns a representation end-to-end. Compared to prior work, this model increases the identification accuracy by one order of magnitude and the time to identification decreases to only seconds. The DeepEyedentificationLive model further improves upon the identification performance by processing binocular input and it also detects presentation-attacks. We find that by learning a representation, the performance of oculomotoric identification and presentation-attack detection can be driven close to practical relevance for biometric applications. Eye tracking devices with high sampling frequency and precision are expensive and the applicability of eye movement as a biometric feature heavily depends on cost of recording devices. In the last part of this thesis, we therefore study the requirements on data quality by evaluating the performance of the DeepEyedentificationLive network under reduced spatial and temporal resolution. We find that the method still attains a high identification accuracy at a temporal resolution of only 250 Hz and a precision of 0.03 degrees. Reducing both does not have an additive deteriorating effect.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Zarezadeh2012, author = {Zarezadeh, Aliakbar}, title = {Distributed smart cameras : architecture and communication protocols}, address = {Potsdam}, pages = {135 S.}, year = {2012}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Schmidt1995, author = {Schmidt, Henning}, title = {Dynamisch ver{\"a}nderbare Betriebssystemstrukturen}, pages = {XII, 141 S.}, year = {1995}, language = {de} } @phdthesis{Troeger2008, author = {Tr{\"o}ger, Peter}, title = {Dynamische Ressourcenverwaltung f{\"u}r dienstbasierte Software-Systeme}, publisher = {Cuvillier}, address = {G{\"o}ttingen}, isbn = {978-3-86727-622-1}, pages = {v, 174 S.: Ill., garph.

Thanks to the vast variety of mobile applications, users are preferring smartphones over desktops for day to day tasks like Internet surfing. Consequently, smartphones store a plenitude of sensitive data. This data together with the high values of smartphones make them an attractive target for device/data theft (thieves/malicious applications). Unfortunately, state-of-the-art anti-theft solutions do not work if they do not have an active network connection, e.g., if the SIM card was removed from the device. In the majority of these cases, device owners permanently lose their smartphone together with their personal data, which is even worse. Apart from that malevolent applications perform malicious activities to steal sensitive information from smartphones. Recent research considered static program analysis to detect dangerous data leaks. These analyses work well for data leaks due to inter-component communication, but suffer from shortcomings for inter-app communication with respect to precision, soundness, and scalability. This thesis focuses on enhancing users' privacy on Android against physical device loss/theft and (un)intentional data leaks. It presents three novel frameworks: (1) ThiefTrap, an anti-theft framework for Android, (2) IIFA, a modular inter-app intent information flow analysis of Android applications, and (3) PIAnalyzer, a precise approach for PendingIntent vulnerability analysis. ThiefTrap is based on a novel concept of an anti-theft honeypot account that protects the owner's data while preventing a thief from resetting the device. We implemented the proposed scheme and evaluated it through an empirical user study with 35 participants. In this study, the owner's data could be protected, recovered, and anti-theft functionality could be performed unnoticed from the thief in all cases. IIFA proposes a novel approach for Android's inter-component/inter-app communication (ICC/IAC) analysis. Our main contribution is the first fully automatic, sound, and precise ICC/IAC information flow analysis that is scalable for realistic apps due to modularity, avoiding combinatorial explosion: Our approach determines communicating apps using short summaries rather than inlining intent calls between components and apps, which requires simultaneously analyzing all apps installed on a device. We evaluate IIFA in terms of precision, recall, and demonstrate its scalability to a large corpus of real-world apps. IIFA reports 62 problematic ICC-/IAC-related information flows via two or more apps/components. PIAnalyzer proposes a novel approach to analyze PendingIntent related vulnerabilities. PendingIntents are a powerful and universal feature of Android for inter-component communication. We empirically evaluate PIAnalyzer on a set of 1000 randomly selected applications and find 1358 insecure usages of PendingIntents, including 70 severe vulnerabilities.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{AbuJarour2011, author = {AbuJarour, Mohammed}, title = {Enriched service descriptions: sources, approaches and usages}, address = {Potsdam}, pages = {140 S.}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Krueger2014, author = {Kr{\"u}ger, Jens}, title = {Enterprise-specific in-memory data managment : HYRISEc - an in-memory column store engine for OLXP}, publisher = {Hasso-Plattner-Insitut}, address = {Potsdam}, pages = {201 S.}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Petrasch1999, author = {Petrasch, Roland}, title = {Entwicklung von Modelltypen f{\"u}r das Qualit{\"a}tsmanagement in der Software-Entwicklung am Beispiel von ausgew{\"a}hlten Qualit{\"a}tssicherungsmaßnahmen}, pages = {Bl. i - viii; 173 Bl. : graph.
