TY - BOOK A1 - Grum, Marcus T1 - Construction of a concept of neuronal modeling N2 - The business problem of having inefficient processes, imprecise process analyses and simulations as well as non-transparent artificial neuronal network models can be overcome by an easy-to-use modeling concept. With the aim of developing a flexible and efficient approach to modeling, simulating and optimizing processes, this paper proposes a flexible Concept of Neuronal Modeling (CoNM). The modeling concept, which is described by the modeling language designed and its mathematical formulation and is connected to a technical substantiation, is based on a collection of novel sub-artifacts. As these have been implemented as a computational model, the set of CoNM tools carries out novel kinds of Neuronal Process Modeling (NPM), Neuronal Process Simulations (NPS) and Neuronal Process Optimizations (NPO). The efficacy of the designed artifacts was demonstrated rigorously by means of six experiments and a simulator of real industrial production processes.

It provides an overview on key elements of German public administration at the federal, Länder and local levels of government as well as on current reform activities of the public sector. It examines the key institutional features of German public administration; the changing relationships between public administration, society and the private sector; the administrative reforms at different levels of the federal system and numerous sectors; and new challenges and modernization approaches like digitalization, Open Government and Better Regulation. Each chapter offers a combination of descriptive information and problem-oriented analysis, presenting key topical issues in Germany which are relevant to an international readership.

In the European Union, there has been a latest trend of initiatives aiming for combating illegal content online under the self-regulatory regime. Yet, concerns of this trend were that transparency cannot be ensured properly to safeguard the freedom of expression, and that the private intermediaries are not able to carry out effective regulation under the non-binding regulatory process. Due to these issues, Germany has legislated the Network Enforcement Act in 2017. This thesis used Mixed Methods within a Case Study Research, in order to identify the PPP type of the NetzDG, and to understand its link on transparency and effectiveness, as well as the relationship of these two dimensions. By taking an Exploratory Sequential Design, the German internet content regulation under the NetzDG was explored to understand its co-regulatory regime and to develop an instrument to measure the aspects of transparency and effectiveness. Then, the three big social media platforms, YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook, were examined according to the developed indicators. This thesis concluded as follow: First, the enactment of the NetzDG brought the shift of the regulatory paradigm from the self-regulatory to the co-regulatory. Yet, the actor-inclusive institutional arrangement of the NetzDG did not successfully result in the actual inclusion of actors in decision-making, but only improved the result transparency in the disclosure of take-down actions. Second, the level of effective regulation was not consistent across the three social media platforms under this regime. Despite these limitations, this study showed that the transparency and the effectiveness of the social media platforms’ implementation gradually improved together, instead of having a negative correlation to one another. N2 - Diese Masterarbeit untersucht die Regulierung von Internetinhalten in Deutschland aus der Sicht von Public-Private Partnerships. In der Europäischen Union hat es in letzter Zeit einen Trend zu Initiativen zur Bekämpfung illegaler Internetinhalte im Rahmen der Selbstregulierung gegeben. Jedoch besteht die Sorge, dass weder Transparenz richtig gewährleistet werden kann, um die Meinungsfreiheit zu schützen, noch dass es für Social Media Plattformen nicht möglich ist, die Regulierungen in einem unverbindlichen Selbstregulierungssystems effektiv durchzusetzen. Aufgrund dieser Probleme verabschiedete Deutschland 2017 das Netzwerkdurchsetzungsgesetz (NetzDG). Diese Masterarbeit nutzt einen Mixed Methods-Ansatz im Rahmen einer Fallstudie, um die Art von Public-Private Partnerships des NetzDG zu bestimmen und um ihre Verbindung zu Transparenz und Effektivität sowie deren Beziehung untereinander zu verstehen. Durch ein exploratives sequentielles Forschungsdesign wurde die deutsche Regulierung von Internetinhalten unter dem NetzDG untersucht, um das ko-regulierende System zu verstehen und um Instrumente zur Messung von Transparenz- und Effektivitätsaspekten zu entwickeln. Dabei wurden die drei großen Social Media Plattformen (YouTube, Twitter und Facebook) in Bezug auf die entwickelten Indikatoren analysiert. Basierend auf den Ergebnissen kommt diese Masterarbeit zu folgenden Schlüssen: Erstens, brachte das Inkrafttreten des NetzDGs einen Wandel des Regulierungsregimes von der Selbstregulierung zur Ko-Regulierung. Die akteurs-übergreifende institutionelle Ausgestaltung des NetzDG führte zwar zu keiner tatsächlichen Einbeziehung der Akteure in die Entscheidungsfindung, sondern hat lediglich die Ergebnistransparenz bei der Offenlegung von Take-down Handlungen verbessert. Zweitens war in den verglichenen drei Social Media Plattformen das Niveau der effektiven Regulierung nicht einheitlich. Trotz dieser Einschränkungen zeigt diese Studie, dass sich die Transparenz und die Effektivität der Umsetzung des NetzDGs durch die Social Media Plattformen gemeinsam sukzessive verbessert haben, statt in einem Trade-off Verhältnis zueinander zu stehen.
