T1 - Digital activism on social media BT - the role of brand ambassadors and corporate reputation management T2 - Proceedings of the 57th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences N2 - Social media constitute an important arena for public debates and steady interchange of issues relevant to society. To boost their reputation, commercial organizations also engage in political, social, or environmental debates on social media. To engage in this type of digital activism, organizations increasingly utilize the social media profiles of executive employees and other brand ambassadors. However, the relationship between brand ambassadors’ digital activism and corporate reputation is only vaguely understood. The results of a qualitative inquiry suggest that digital activism via brand ambassadors can be risky (e.g., creating additional surface for firestorms, financial loss) and rewarding (e.g., emitting authenticity, employing ‘megaphones’ for industry change) at the same time. The paper informs both scholarship and practitioners about strategic trade-offs that need to be considered when employing brand ambassadors for digital activism.

T1 - Breaking down barriers BT - how conversational agents facilitate open science and data sharing T2 - Proceedings of the 57th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences N2 - Many researchers hesitate to provide full access to their datasets due to a lack of knowledge about research data management (RDM) tools and perceived fears, such as losing the value of one's own data. Existing tools and approaches often do not take into account these fears and missing knowledge. In this study, we examined how conversational agents (CAs) can provide a natural way of guidance through RDM processes and nudge researchers towards more data sharing. This work offers an online experiment in which researchers interacted with a CA on a self-developed RDM platform and a survey on participants’ data sharing behavior. Our findings indicate that the presence of a guiding and enlightening CA on an RDM platform has a constructive influence on both the intention to share data and the actual behavior of data sharing. Notably, individual factors do not appear to impede or hinder this effect.

In humans, these capabilities are thought to be related to our ability to perceive our body in space, sensing the location of our limbs during movement, being aware of other objects and agents, and controlling our body parts to interact with them intentionally. Toward the next generation of robots with bio-inspired capacities, in this paper, we first review the developmental processes of underlying mechanisms of these abilities: The sensory representations of body schema, peripersonal space, and the active self in humans. Second, we provide a survey of robotics models of these sensory representations and robotics models of the self; and we compare these models with the human counterparts. Finally, we analyze what is missing from these robotics models and propose a theoretical computational framework, which aims to allow the emergence of the sense of self in artificial agents by developing sensory representations through self-exploration.

For example, in discrete manufacturing, identifying the root causes of failures and quality deviations that interrupt the highly automated production process requires causal structural knowledge. However, in practice, root cause analysis is usually built upon individual expert knowledge about associative relationships. But, "correlation does not imply causation", and misinterpreting associations often leads to incorrect conclusions. Recent developments in methods for causal discovery from observational data have opened the opportunity for a data-driven examination. Despite its potential for data-driven decision support, omnipresent challenges impede causal discovery in real-world scenarios. In this thesis, we make a threefold contribution to improving causal discovery in practice. (1) The growing interest in causal discovery has led to a broad spectrum of methods with specific assumptions on the data and various implementations. Hence, application in practice requires careful consideration of existing methods, which becomes laborious when dealing with various parameters, assumptions, and implementations in different programming languages. Additionally, evaluation is challenging due to the lack of ground truth in practice and limited benchmark data that reflect real-world data characteristics. To address these issues, we present a platform-independent modular pipeline for causal discovery and a ground truth framework for synthetic data generation that provides comprehensive evaluation opportunities, e.g., to examine the accuracy of causal discovery methods in case of inappropriate assumptions. (2) Applying constraint-based methods for causal discovery requires selecting a conditional independence (CI) test, which is particularly challenging in mixed discrete-continuous data omnipresent in many real-world scenarios. In this context, inappropriate assumptions on the data or the commonly applied discretization of continuous variables reduce the accuracy of CI decisions, leading to incorrect causal structures. Therefore, we contribute a non-parametric CI test leveraging k-nearest neighbors methods and prove its statistical validity and power in mixed discrete-continuous data, as well as the asymptotic consistency when used in constraint-based causal discovery. An extensive evaluation of synthetic and real-world data shows that the proposed CI test outperforms state-of-the-art approaches in the accuracy of CI testing and causal discovery, particularly in settings with low sample sizes. (3) To show the applicability and opportunities of causal discovery in practice, we examine our contributions in real-world discrete manufacturing use cases. For example, we showcase how causal structural knowledge helps to understand unforeseen production downtimes or adds decision support in case of failures and quality deviations in automotive body shop assembly lines. N2 - Kenntnisse über die Strukturen zugrundeliegender kausaler Mechanismen sind eine Voraussetzung für die Entscheidungsunterstützung in verschiedenen Bereichen. In der Fertigungsindustrie beispielsweise erfordert die Fehler-Ursachen-Analyse von Störungen und Qualitätsabweichungen, die den hochautomatisierten Produktionsprozess unterbrechen, kausales Strukturwissen. In Praxis stützt sich die Fehler-Ursachen-Analyse in der Regel jedoch auf individuellem Expertenwissen über assoziative Zusammenhänge. Aber "Korrelation impliziert nicht Kausalität", und die Fehlinterpretation assoziativer Zusammenhänge führt häufig zu falschen Schlussfolgerungen. Neueste Entwicklungen von Methoden des kausalen Strukturlernens haben die Möglichkeit einer datenbasierten Betrachtung eröffnet. Trotz seines Potenzials zur datenbasierten Entscheidungsunterstützung wird das kausale Strukturlernen in der Praxis jedoch durch allgegenwärtige Herausforderungen erschwert. In dieser Dissertation leisten wir einen dreifachen Beitrag zur Verbesserung des kausalen Strukturlernens in der Praxis. (1) Das wachsende Interesse an kausalem Strukturlernen hat zu einer Vielzahl von Methoden mit spezifischen statistischen Annahmen über die Daten und verschiedenen Implementierungen geführt. Daher erfordert die Anwendung in der Praxis eine sorgfältige Prüfung der vorhandenen Methoden, was eine Herausforderung darstellt, wenn verschiedene Parameter, Annahmen und Implementierungen in unterschiedlichen Programmiersprachen betrachtet werden. Hierbei wird die Evaluierung von Methoden des kausalen Strukturlernens zusätzlich durch das Fehlen von "Ground Truth" in der Praxis und begrenzten Benchmark-Daten, welche die Eigenschaften realer Datencharakteristiken widerspiegeln, erschwert. Um diese Probleme zu adressieren, stellen wir eine plattformunabhängige modulare Pipeline für kausales Strukturlernen und ein Tool zur Generierung synthetischer Daten vor, die umfassende Evaluierungsmöglichkeiten bieten, z.B. um Ungenauigkeiten von Methoden des Lernens kausaler Strukturen bei falschen Annahmen an die Daten aufzuzeigen. (2) Die Anwendung von constraint-basierten Methoden des kausalen Strukturlernens erfordert die Wahl eines bedingten Unabhängigkeitstests (CI-Test), was insbesondere bei gemischten diskreten und kontinuierlichen Daten, die in vielen realen Szenarien allgegenwärtig sind, die Anwendung erschwert. Beispielsweise führen falsche Annahmen der CI-Tests oder die Diskretisierung kontinuierlicher Variablen zu einer Verschlechterung der Korrektheit der Testentscheidungen, was in fehlerhaften kausalen Strukturen resultiert. Um diese Probleme zu adressieren, stellen wir einen nicht-parametrischen CI-Test vor, der auf Nächste-Nachbar-Methoden basiert, und beweisen dessen statistische Validität und Trennschärfe bei gemischten diskreten und kontinuierlichen Daten, sowie dessen asymptotische Konsistenz in constraint-basiertem kausalem Strukturlernen. Eine umfangreiche Evaluation auf synthetischen und realen Daten zeigt, dass der vorgeschlagene CI-Test bestehende Verfahren hinsichtlich der Korrektheit der Testentscheidung und gelernter kausaler Strukturen übertrifft, insbesondere bei geringen Stichprobengrößen. (3) Um die Anwendbarkeit und Möglichkeiten kausalen Strukturlernens in der Praxis aufzuzeigen, untersuchen wir unsere Beiträge in realen Anwendungsfällen aus der Fertigungsindustrie. Wir zeigen an mehreren Beispielen aus der automobilen Karosseriefertigungen wie kausales Strukturwissen helfen kann, unvorhergesehene Produktionsausfälle zu verstehen oder eine Entscheidungsunterstützung bei Störungen und Qualitätsabweichungen zu geben.

Digital tools offer new potential in this field. We developed the ‘Animated Alcohol Assessment Tool’ (AAA-Tool), a mobile app providing an interactive version of the World Health Organization's Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) that facilitates the description of individual alcohol consumption via culturally informed animation features. This pilot study evaluated the Russia-specific version of the Animated Alcohol Assessment Tool with regard to (1) its usability and acceptability in a primary healthcare setting, (2) the plausibility of its alcohol consumption assessment results and (3) the adequacy of its Russia-specific vessel and beverage selection. Methods: Convenience samples of 55 patients (47% female) and 15 healthcare practitioners (80% female) in 2 Russian primary healthcare facilities self-administered the Animated Alcohol Assessment Tool and rated their experience on the Mobile Application Rating Scale – User Version. Usage data was automatically collected during app usage, and additional feedback on regional content was elicited in semi-structured interviews. Results: On average, patients completed the Animated Alcohol Assessment Tool in 6:38 min (SD = 2.49, range = 3.00–17.16). User satisfaction was good, with all subscale Mobile Application Rating Scale – User Version scores averaging >3 out of 5 points. A majority of patients (53%) and practitioners (93%) would recommend the tool to ‘many people’ or ‘everyone’. Assessed alcohol consumption was plausible, with a low number (14%) of logically impossible entries. Most patients reported the Animated Alcohol Assessment Tool to reflect all vessels (78%) and all beverages (71%) they typically used. Conclusion: High acceptability ratings by patients and healthcare practitioners, acceptable completion time, plausible alcohol usage assessment results and perceived adequacy of region-specific content underline the Animated Alcohol Assessment Tool's potential to provide a novel approach to alcohol assessment in primary healthcare. After its validation, the Animated Alcohol Assessment Tool might contribute to reducing alcohol-related harm by facilitating Screening and Brief Intervention implementation in Russia and beyond.

The existing solutions employ algorithms for network community detection that identify dense subgraphs in PPI networks. However, gold standards in yeast and human indicate that protein complexes can also induce sparse subgraphs, introducing further challenges in protein complex prediction. Results: To address this issue, we formalize protein complexes as biclique spanned subgraphs, which include both sparse and dense subgraphs. We then cast the problem of protein complex prediction as a network partitioning into biclique spanned subgraphs with removal of minimum number of edges, called coherent partition. Since finding a coherent partition is a computationally intractable problem, we devise a parameter-free greedy approximation algorithm, termed Protein Complexes from Coherent Partition (PC2P), based on key properties of biclique spanned subgraphs. Through comparison with nine contenders, we demonstrate that PC2P: (i) successfully identifies modular structure in networks, as a prerequisite for protein complex prediction, (ii) outperforms the existing solutions with respect to a composite score of five performance measures on 75% and 100% of the analyzed PPI networks and gold standards in yeast and human, respectively, and (iii,iv) does not compromise GO semantic similarity and enrichment score of the predicted protein complexes. Therefore, our study demonstrates that clustering of networks in terms of biclique spanned subgraphs is a promising framework for detection of complexes in PPI networks.

T1 - ReadBouncer BT - precise and scalable adaptive sampling for nanopore sequencing JF - Bioinformatics N2 - Motivation: Nanopore sequencers allow targeted sequencing of interesting nucleotide sequences by rejecting other sequences from individual pores. This feature facilitates the enrichment of low-abundant sequences by depleting overrepresented ones in-silico. Existing tools for adaptive sampling either apply signal alignment, which cannot handle human-sized reference sequences, or apply read mapping in sequence space relying on fast graphical processing units (GPU) base callers for real-time read rejection. Using nanopore long-read mapping tools is also not optimal when mapping shorter reads as usually analyzed in adaptive sampling applications. Results: Here, we present a new approach for nanopore adaptive sampling that combines fast CPU and GPU base calling with read classification based on Interleaved Bloom Filters. ReadBouncer improves the potential enrichment of low abundance sequences by its high read classification sensitivity and specificity, outperforming existing tools in the field. It robustly removes even reads belonging to large reference sequences while running on commodity hardware without GPUs, making adaptive sampling accessible for in-field researchers. Readbouncer also provides a user-friendly interface and installer files for end-users without a bioinformatics background.

When combined with treadmill walking, a large number of steps can be collected in a controlled environment without the need of a dedicated gait analysis laboratory. In order to evaluate existing and novel IMU-based gait analysis algorithms for treadmill walking, a reference dataset that includes IMU data as well as reliable ground truth measurements for multiple participants and walking speeds is needed. This article provides a reference dataset consisting of 15 healthy young adults who walked on a treadmill at three different speeds. Data were acquired using seven IMUs placed on the lower body, two different reference systems (Zebris FDMT-HQ and OptoGait), and two RGB cameras. Additionally, in order to validate an existing IMU-based gait analysis algorithm using the dataset, an adaptable modular data analysis pipeline was built. Our results show agreement between the pressure-sensitive Zebris and the photoelectric OptoGait system (r = 0.99), demonstrating the quality of our reference data. As a use case, the performance of an algorithm originally designed for overground walking was tested on treadmill data using the data pipeline. The accuracy of stride length and stride time estimations was comparable to that reported in other studies with overground data, indicating that the algorithm is equally applicable to treadmill data. The Python source code of the data pipeline is publicly available, and the dataset will be provided by the authors upon request, enabling future evaluations of IMU gait analysis algorithms without the need of recording new data.

First, it widens the range of accepted PDDL features. Second, it contains novel planning encodings, some inspired by Satisfiability Testing (SAT) planning and others exploiting ASP features such as well-foundedness. All of them are designed for handling multivalued fluents in order to capture both PDDL as well as SAS planning formats. Third, enabled by multishot ASP solving, it offers advanced planning algorithms also borrowed from SAT planning. As a result, plasp provides us with an ASP-based framework for studying a variety of planning techniques in a uniform setting. Finally, we demonstrate in an empirical analysis that these techniques have a significant impact on the performance of ASP planning.

Press CY - New York ER - TY - THES A1 - Konczak, Kathrin T1 - Preferences in answer set programming T1 - Präferenzen in der Antwortmengenprogrammierung N2 - Answer Set Programming (ASP) emerged in the late 1990s as a new logic programming paradigm, having its roots in nonmonotonic reasoning, deductive databases, and logic programming with negation as failure. The basic idea of ASP is to represent a computational problem as a logic program whose answer sets correspond to solutions, and then to use an answer set solver for finding answer sets of the program. ASP is particularly suited for solving NP-complete search problems. Among these, we find applications to product configuration, diagnosis, and graph-theoretical problems, e.g. finding Hamiltonian cycles. On different lines of ASP research, many extensions of the basic formalism have been proposed. The most intensively studied one is the modelling of preferences in ASP. They constitute a natural and effective way of selecting preferred solutions among a plethora of solutions for a problem. For example, preferences have been successfully used for timetabling, auctioning, and product configuration. In this thesis, we concentrate on preferences within answer set programming. Among several formalisms and semantics for preference handling in ASP, we concentrate on ordered logic programs with the underlying D-, W-, and B-semantics. In this setting, preferences are defined among rules of a logic program. They select preferred answer sets among (standard) answer sets of the underlying logic program. Up to now, those preferred answer sets have been computed either via a compilation method or by meta-interpretation. Hence, the question comes up, whether and how preferences can be integrated into an existing ASP solver. To solve this question, we develop an operational graph-based framework for the computation of answer sets of logic programs. Then, we integrate preferences into this operational approach. We empirically observe that our integrative approach performs in most cases better than the compilation method or meta-interpretation. Another research issue in ASP are optimization methods that remove redundancies, as also found in database query optimizers. For these purposes, the rather recently suggested notion of strong equivalence for ASP can be used. If a program is strongly equivalent to a subprogram of itself, then one can always use the subprogram instead of the original program, a technique which serves as an effective optimization method. Up to now, strong equivalence has not been considered for logic programs with preferences. In this thesis, we tackle this issue and generalize the notion of strong equivalence to ordered logic programs. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the strong equivalence of two ordered logic programs. Furthermore, we provide program transformations for ordered logic programs and show in how far preferences can be simplified. Finally, we present two new applications for preferences within answer set programming. First, we define new procedures for group decision making, which we apply to the problem of scheduling a group meeting. As a second new application, we reconstruct a linguistic problem appearing in German dialects within ASP. Regarding linguistic studies, there is an ongoing debate about how unique the rule systems of language are in human cognition. The reconstruction of grammatical regularities with tools from computer science has consequences for this debate: if grammars can be modelled this way, then they share core properties with other non-linguistic rule systems.

Die Antwortmengenprogrammierung bildet ein geeignetes Fundament zur Repräsentation und zum Lösen von Entscheidungs- und Suchproblemen in der Komplexitätsklasse NP. Anwendungen finden wir unter anderem in der Produktkonfiguration, Diagnose und bei graphen-theoretischen Problemen, z.B. der Suche nach Hamiltonschen Kreisen. In den letzten Jahren wurden viele Erweiterungen der Antwortmengenprogrammierung betrachtet. Die am meisten untersuchte Erweiterung ist die Modellierung von Präferenzen. Diese bilden eine natürliche und effektive Möglichkeit, unter einer Vielzahl von Lösungen eines Problems bevorzugte Lösungen zu selektieren. Präferenzen finden beispielsweise in der Stundenplanung, bei Auktionen und bei Produktkonfigurationen ihre Anwendung. Der Schwerpunkt dieser Arbeit liegt in der Modellierung, Implementierung und Anwendung von Präferenzen in der Antwortmengenprogrammierung. Da es verschiedene Ansätze gibt, um Präferenzen darzustellen, konzentrieren wir uns auf geordnete logische Programme, wobei Präferenzen als partielle Ordnung der Regeln eines logischen Programms ausgedrückt werden. Dabei betrachten wir drei verschiedene Semantiken zur Interpretation dieser Präferenzen. Im Vorfeld wurden für diese Semantiken die bevorzugten Antwortmengen durch einen Compiler oder durch Meta-Interpretation berechnet. Da Präferenzen Lösungen selektieren, stellt sich die Frage, ob es möglich ist, diese direkt in den Berechnungsprozeß von präferenzierten Antwortmengen zu integrieren, so dass die bevorzugten Antwortmengen ohne Zwischenschritte berechnet werden können. Dazu entwickeln wir zuerst ein auf Graphen basierendes Gerüst zur Berechnung von Antwortmengen. Anschließend werden wir darin Präferenzen integrieren, so dass bevorzugte Antwortmengen ohne Compiler oder Meta-Interpretation berechnet werden. Es stellt sich heraus, dass die integrative Methode auf den meisten betrachteten Problemklassen wesentlich leistungsfähiger ist als der Compiler oder Meta-Interpretation. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt dieser Arbeit liegt in der Frage, inwieweit sich geordnete logische Programme vereinfachen lassen. Dazu steht die Methodik der strengen Äquivalenz von logischen Programmen zur Verfügung. Wenn ein logisches Programm streng äquivalent zu einem seiner Teilprogramme ist, so kann man dieses durch das entsprechende Teilprogramm ersetzen, ohne dass sich die zugrunde liegende Semantik ändert. Bisher wurden strenge Äquivalenzen nicht für logische Programme mit Präferenzen untersucht. In dieser Arbeit definieren wir erstmalig strenge Äquivalenzen für geordnete logische Programme. Wir geben notwendige und hinreichende Bedingungen für die strenge Äquivalenz zweier geordneter logischer Programme an. Des Weiteren werden wir auch die Frage beantworten, inwieweit geordnete logische Programme und deren Präferenzstrukturen vereinfacht werden können. Abschließend präsentieren wir zwei neue Anwendungsbereiche von Präferenzen in der Antwortmengenprogrammierung. Zuerst definieren wir neue Prozeduren zur Entscheidungsfindung innerhalb von Gruppenprozessen. Diese integrieren wir anschließend in das Problem der Planung eines Treffens für eine Gruppe. Als zweite neue Anwendung rekonstruieren wir mit Hilfe der Antwortmengenprogrammierung eine linguistische Problemstellung, die in deutschen Dialekten auftritt. Momentan wird im Bereich der Linguistik darüber diskutiert, ob Regelsysteme von (menschlichen) Sprachen einzigartig sind oder nicht. Die Rekonstruktion von grammatikalischen Regularitäten mit Werkzeugen aus der Informatik erlaubt die Unterstützung der These, dass linguistische Regelsysteme Gemeinsamkeiten zu anderen nicht-linguistischen Regelsystemen besitzen.

BT - a consolidated taxonomy T2 - ECIS Proceedings 2021 N2 - The usage of data to improve or create business models has become vital for companies in the 21st century. However, to extract value from data it is important to understand the business model. Taxonomies for data-driven business models (DDBM) aim to provide guidance for the development and ideation of new business models relying on data. In IS research, however, different taxonomies have emerged in recent years, partly redundant, partly contradictory. Thus, there is a need to synthesize the common ground of these taxonomies within IS research. Based on 26 IS-related taxonomies and 30 cases, we derive and define 14 generic building blocks of DDBM to develop a consolidated taxonomy that represents the current state-of-the-art. Thus, we integrate existing research on DDBM and provide avenues for further exploration of data-induced potentials for business models as well as for the development and analysis of general or industry-specific DDBM.

To efficiently utilize the scarce DRAM capacities, modern database systems support various tuning possibilities to reduce the memory footprint (e.g., data compression) or increase performance (e.g., additional indexes). However, the selection of cost and performance balancing configurations is challenging due to the vast number of possible setups consisting of mutually dependent individual decisions. In this paper, we introduce a novel approach to jointly optimize the compression, sorting, indexing, and tiering configuration for spatio-temporal workloads. Further, we consider horizontal data partitioning, which enables the independent application of different tuning options on a fine-grained level. We propose different linear programming (LP) models addressing cost dependencies at different levels of accuracy to compute optimized tuning configurations for a given workload and memory budgets. To yield maintainable and robust configurations, we extend our LP-based approach to incorporate reconfiguration costs as well as a worst-case optimization for potential workload scenarios. Further, we demonstrate on a real-world dataset that our models allow to significantly reduce the memory footprint with equal performance or increase the performance with equal memory size compared to existing tuning heuristics.

We compare gene- based association tests for separate functional variant categories to increase interpretability and identify 193 significant gene-biomarker associations. Genes associated with biomarkers were ~ 4.5-fold enriched for conferring Mendelian disorders. In addition to performing weighted gene-based variant collapsing tests, we design and apply variant-category-specific kernel-based tests that integrate quantitative functional variant effect predictions for mis- sense variants, splicing and the binding of RNA-binding proteins. For these tests, we present a computationally efficient combination of the likelihood- ratio and score tests that found 36% more associations than the score test alone while also controlling the type-1 error. Kernel-based tests identified 13% more associations than their gene-based collapsing counterparts and had advantages in the presence of gain of function missense variants. We introduce local collapsing by amino acid position for missense variants and use it to interpret associations and identify potential novel gain of function variants in PIEZO1. Our results show the benefits of investigating different functional mechanisms when performing rare-variant association tests, and demonstrate pervasive rare-variant contribution to biomarker variability.

Design Thinking, an innovation approach based on human-centered exploration, ideation and experimentation, has gained increasing popularity. The market for Design Thinking, including software products and general services, is projected to reach 2.500 million $ (US-Dollar) by 2028. A dispersed set of positive outcomes have been attributed to Design Thinking. However, there is no clear understanding of what exactly comprises the impact of Design Thinking and how it is created. To support a billion-dollar market, it is essential to understand the value Design Thinking is bringing to organizations not only to justify large investments, but to continuously improve the approach and its application. Following a qualitative research approach combined with results from a systematic literature review, the results presented in this dissertation offer a structured understanding of Design Thinking impact. The results are structured along two main perspectives of impact: the individual and the organizational perspective. First, insights from qualitative data analysis demonstrate that measuring and assessing the impact of Design Thinking is currently one central challenge for Design Thinking practitioners in organizations. Second, the interview data revealed several effects Design Thinking has on individuals, demonstrating how Design Thinking can impact boundary management behaviors and enable employees to craft their jobs more actively. Contributing to innovation management research, the work presented in this dissertation systematically explains the Design Thinking impact, allowing other researchers to both locate and integrate their work better. The results of this research advance the theoretical rigor of Design Thinking impact research, offering multiple theoretical underpinnings explaining the variety of Design Thinking impact. Furthermore, this dissertation contains three specific propositions on how Design Thinking creates an impact: Design Thinking creates an impact through integration, enablement, and engagement. Integration refers to how Design Thinking enables organizations through effectively combining things, such as for example fostering balance between exploitation and exploration activities. Through Engagement, Design Thinking impacts organizations involving users and other relevant stakeholders in their work. Moreover, Design Thinking creates impact through Enablement, making it possible for individuals to enact a specific behavior or experience certain states. By synthesizing multiple theoretical streams into these three overarching themes, the results of this research can help bridge disciplinary boundaries, for example between business, psychology and design, and enhance future collaborative research. Practitioners benefit from the results as multiple desirable outcomes are detailed in this thesis, such as successful individual job crafting behaviors, which can be expected from practicing Design Thinking. This allows practitioners to enact more evidence-based decision-making concerning Design Thinking implementation. Overall, considering multiple levels of impact as well as a broad range of theoretical underpinnings are paramount to understanding and fostering Design Thinking impact. N2 - Unternehmen geben Milliarden für Innovations- und Agilitätsinitiativen aus. Sie wenden zunehmend agile und innovative Ansätze an, um komplexe Probleme zu erkunden und zu lösen. So stellen sie ihre Wettbewerbsfähigkeit sicher, da das heutige Geschäftsumfeld immer unsicherer und mehrdeutiger wird. Design Thinking ist ein immer beliebter werdender Innovationsansatz, der auf menschenzentrierter Erkundung, Ideenfindung und Experimenten basiert. Marktforschungen schätzen, dass der Design Thinking-Markt, einschließlich Softwareprodukten und allgemeinen Dienstleistungen, bis 2028 ein Volumen von 2,5 Milliarden US-Dollar erreichen wird. Zwar wurden Design Thinking vereinzelt positive Ergebnisse zugeschrieben (z. B. bessere Identifizierung von Kundenbedürfnissen, höhere Innovationsfähigkeiten, bessere Innovationsergebnisse), doch gibt es kein klares Verständnis darüber, was genau die Wirkung und den Mehrwert von Design Thinking ausmacht und wie diese Wirkung entsteht. Um einen Milliardenmarkt zu erhalten und zu rechtfertigen, ist es wichtig zu verstehen, welchen Wert Design Thinking für Unternehmen bringt. Dabei kommt es nicht nur darauf an, hohe Investitionen zu rechtfertigen, sondern auch darauf, den Ansatz und seine Einsatzgebiete kontinuierlich zu verbessern. Basierend auf qualitativen Interviewdaten und einer systematischen Literaturrecherche bietet diese Dissertation ein strukturiertes Verständnis der Wirkung von Design Thinking an. Die Ergebnisse sind entlang zweier Hauptwirkungsperspektiven gegliedert, der individuellen und der organisationalen Perspektive. Erstens zeigen Erkenntnisse aus der qualitativen Datenanalyse, dass die Messung und Bewertung der Auswirkungen von Design Thinking derzeit eine zentrale Herausforderung für Design Thinking-Praktiker in Organisationen darstellt. Zweitens zeigten die Interviewdaten mehrere Auswirkungen, die Design Thinking auf Einzelpersonen hat. Im Detail zeig die Arbeit, wie Design Thinking es MitarbeiterInnen ermöglich, ihre Grenzen zu managenen (= „Boundary Management“ zu betreiben), oder, auch, wie sie durch sogennantes „Job Crafting“ ihre Arbeit aktiv gestalten können. Als Beitrag zur Innovationsmanagementforschung erläutert diese Dissertation systematisch die Auswirkungen von Design Thinking und ermöglicht es anderen Forschern, ihre Arbeit besser zu lokalisieren und zu integrieren. Die Ergebnisse dieser Forschung erweitern die theoretische Integration der Design Thinking-Forschung und bieten mehrere theoretische Grundlagen, die die Vielfalt der Design Thinking-Wirkung erklären. Darüber hinaus schlägt diese Dissertation drei konkrete Thesen vor, wie Design Thinking Wirkung erzeugt: Design Thinking erzeugt Wirkung durch Integration, Enablement und Engagement. Integration bezieht sich darauf, wie Design Thinking Organisationen durch die effektive Kombination von Dingen unterstützt, beispielsweise durch die Förderung eines Gleichgewichts zwischen Exploration und Exploitation im Sinne der Ambidextrie. Durch Engagement wirkt sich Design Thinking auf Organisationen aus, die Benutzer und andere relevante Stakeholder in ihre Arbeit einbeziehen. Und Design Thinking erzeugt durch Enablement Wirkung und ermöglicht es Einzelpersonen, ein bestimmtes Verhalten auszuführen oder bestimmte Zustände zu erleben. Durch die Zusammenfassung mehrerer theoretischer Strömungen zu diesen drei übergreifenden Themen können die Ergebnisse dieser Forschung dazu beitragen, disziplinäre Grenzen, beispielsweise zwischen Wirtschaft, Psychologie und Design, zu überbrücken und zukünftige gemeinsame Forschung zu verbessern. Praktiker profitieren von den Ergebnissen, da diese Arbeit Ergebnisse detailliert beschreibt, die von zukünftigen Design Thinking-Aktivitäten erwartet werden können, sodass Praktiker eine evidenzbasiertere Entscheidung hinsichtlich der Design Thinking-Implementierung treffen können. Insgesamt ist die Berücksichtigung mehrerer Wirkungsebenen sowie einer breiten Palette theoretischer Grundlagen von größter Bedeutung, um die Wirkung von Design Thinking zu verstehen und zu fördern.

A1 - Wachs, Sebastian T1 - Moderation of technology use in the association between self-isolation during COVID-19 pandemic and adolescents' romantic relationship quality JF - Cyberpsychology, behavior and social networking N2 - The purpose of this study was to examine the moderating effects of technology use for relationship maintenance on the longitudinal associations among self-isolation during the coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) pandemic and romantic relationship quality among adolescents. Participants were 239 (120 female; M age = 16.69, standard deviation [SD] = 0.61; 60 percent Caucasian) 11th and 12th graders from three midwestern high schools. To qualify for this study, adolescents had to be in the same romantic relationship for the duration of the study, similar to 7 months (M length of relationship = 10.03 months). Data were collected in October of 2019 (Time 1) and again 7 months later in May of 2020 (Time 2). Adolescents completed a romantic relationship questionnaire at Time 1 and again at Time 2, along with questionnaires on frequency of self-isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic and use of technology for romantic relationship maintenance. Findings revealed that increases in self-isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic related positively to the use of technology for romantic relationship maintenance and negatively to Time 2 romantic relationship quality. High use of technology for romantic relationship maintenance buffered against the negative effects of self-isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic on adolescents' romantic relationship quality 7 months later, whereas low use strengthened the negative relationship between self-isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic and romantic relationship quality. These findings suggest the importance of considering the implications of societal crisis or pandemics on adolescents' close relationships, particularly their romantic relationships.

Component orientation and web services are two approaches for design and realization of complex web-based system. Both approaches allow for dynamic application adaptation as well as integration of enterprise application. Commonly used technologies, such as J2EE and .NET, form de facto standards for the realization of complex distributed systems. Evolution of component systems has lead to web services and service-based architectures. This has been manifested in a multitude of industry standards and initiatives such as XML, WSDL UDDI, SOAP, etc. All these achievements lead to a new and promising paradigm in IT systems engineering which proposes to design complex software solutions as collaboration of contractually defined software services. Service-Oriented Systems Engineering represents a symbiosis of best practices in object-orientation, component-based development, distributed computing, and business process management. It provides integration of business and IT concerns. The annual Ph.D. Retreat of the Research School provides each member the opportunity to present his/her current state of their research and to give an outline of a prospective Ph.D. thesis. Due to the interdisciplinary structure of the research school, this technical report covers a wide range of topics. These include but are not limited to: Human Computer Interaction and Computer Vision as Service; Service-oriented Geovisualization Systems; Algorithm Engineering for Service-oriented Systems; Modeling and Verification of Self-adaptive Service-oriented Systems; Tools and Methods for Software Engineering in Service-oriented Systems; Security Engineering of Service-based IT Systems; Service-oriented Information Systems; Evolutionary Transition of Enterprise Applications to Service Orientation; Operating System Abstractions for Service-oriented Computing; and Services Specification, Composition, and Enactment. N2 - Der Entwurf und die Realisierung dienstbasierender Architekturen wirft eine Vielzahl von Forschungsfragestellungen aus den Gebieten der Softwaretechnik, der Systemmodellierung und -analyse, sowie der Adaptierbarkeit und Integration von Applikationen auf. Komponentenorientierung und WebServices sind zwei Ansätze für den effizienten Entwurf und die Realisierung komplexer Web-basierender Systeme. Sie ermöglichen die Reaktion auf wechselnde Anforderungen ebenso, wie die Integration großer komplexer Softwaresysteme. Heute übliche Technologien, wie J2EE und .NET, sind de facto Standards für die Entwicklung großer verteilter Systeme. Die Evolution solcher Komponentensysteme führt über WebServices zu dienstbasierenden Architekturen. Dies manifestiert sich in einer Vielzahl von Industriestandards und Initiativen wie XML, WSDL, UDDI, SOAP. All diese Schritte führen letztlich zu einem neuen, vielversprechenden Paradigma für IT Systeme, nach dem komplexe Softwarelösungen durch die Integration vertraglich vereinbarter Software-Dienste aufgebaut werden sollen. "Service-Oriented Systems Engineering" repräsentiert die Symbiose bewährter Praktiken aus den Gebieten der Objektorientierung, der Komponentenprogrammierung, des verteilten Rechnen sowie der Geschäftsprozesse und berücksichtigt auch die Integration von Geschäftsanliegen und Informationstechnologien. Die Klausurtagung des Forschungskollegs "Service-oriented Systems Engineering" findet einmal jährlich statt und bietet allen Kollegiaten die Möglichkeit den Stand ihrer aktuellen Forschung darzulegen. Bedingt durch die Querschnittstruktur des Kollegs deckt dieser Bericht ein weites Spektrum aktueller Forschungsthemen ab. Dazu zählen unter anderem Human Computer Interaction and Computer Vision as Service; Service-oriented Geovisualization Systems; Algorithm Engineering for Service-oriented Systems; Modeling and Verification of Self-adaptive Service-oriented Systems; Tools and Methods for Software Engineering in Service-oriented Systems; Security Engineering of Service-based IT Systems; Service-oriented Information Systems; Evolutionary Transition of Enterprise Applications to Service Orientation; Operating System Abstractions for Service-oriented Computing; sowie Services Specification, Composition, and Enactment.

Here we ask whether the apparent evidence for constraints on crossing dependencies in treebanks might arise because of independent constraints on trees, such as low arity and dependency length minimization. We address this question using two sets of experiments. In Experiment 1, we compare the distribution of formal properties of crossing dependencies, such as gap degree, between real trees and baseline trees matched for rate of crossing dependencies and various other properties. In Experiment 2, we model whether two dependencies cross, given certain psycholinguistic properties of the dependencies. We find surprisingly weak evidence for constraints originating from the mild context-sensitivity literature (gap degree and well-nestedness) beyond what can be explained by constraints on rate of crossing dependencies, topological properties of the trees, and dependency length. However, measures that have emerged from the parsing literature (e.g., edge degree, end-point crossings, and heads' depth difference) differ strongly between real and random trees. Modeling results show that cognitive metrics relating to information locality and working-memory limitations affect whether two dependencies cross or not, but they do not fully explain the distribution of crossing dependencies in natural languages. Together these results suggest that crossing constraints are better characterized by processing pressures than by mildly context-sensitive constraints.
