Technical report
(2019)
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. 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.
Graph repair, restoring consistency of a graph, plays a prominent role in several areas of computer science and beyond: For example, in model-driven engineering, the abstract syntax of models is usually encoded using graphs. Flexible edit operations temporarily create inconsistent graphs not representing a valid model, thus requiring graph repair. Similarly, in graph databases—managing the storage and manipulation of graph data—updates may cause that a given database does not satisfy some integrity constraints, requiring also graph repair. We present a logic-based incremental approach to graph repair, generating a sound and complete (upon termination) overview of least-changing repairs. In our context, we formalize consistency by so-called graph conditions being equivalent to first-order logic on graphs. We present two kind of repair algorithms: State-based repair restores consistency independent of the graph update history, whereas deltabased (or incremental) repair takes this history explicitly into account. Technically, our algorithms rely on an existing model generation algorithm for graph conditions implemented in AutoGraph. Moreover, the delta-based approach uses the new concept of satisfaction (ST) trees for encoding if and how a graph satisfies a graph condition. We then demonstrate how to manipulate these STs incrementally with respect to a graph update.

Creating fonts is a complex task that requires expert knowledge in a variety of domains. Often, this knowledge is not held by a single person, but spread across a number of domain experts. A central concept needed for designing fonts is the glyph, an elemental symbol representing a readable character. Required domains include designing glyph shapes, engineering rules to combine glyphs for complex scripts and checking legibility. This process is most often iterative and requires communication in all directions. This report outlines a platform that aims to enhance the means of communication, describes our prototyping process, discusses complex font rendering and editing in a live environment and an approach to generate code based on a user’s live-edits.
Die HPI Schul-Cloud
(2019)
Die digitale Transformation durchdringt alle gesellschaftlichen Ebenen und Felder, nicht zuletzt auch das Bildungssystem. Dieses ist auf die Veränderungen kaum vorbereitet und begegnet ihnen vor allem auf Basis des Eigenengagements seiner Lehrer*innen. Strukturelle Reaktionen auf den Mangel an qualitativ hochwertigen Fortbildungen, auf schlecht ausgestattete Unterrichtsräume und nicht professionell gewartete Computersysteme gibt es erst seit kurzem. Doch auch wenn Beharrungskräfte unter Pädagog*innen verbreitet sind, erfordert die Transformation des Systems Schule auch eine neue Mentalität und neue Arbeits- und Kooperationsformen.
Zeitgemäßer Unterricht benötigt moderne Technologie und zeitgemäße IT-Architekturen. Nur Systeme, die für Lehrer*innen und Schüler*innen problemlos verfügbar, benutzerfreundlich zu bedienen und didaktisch flexibel einsetzbar sind, finden in Schulen Akzeptanz. Hierfür haben wir die HPI Schul-Cloud entwickelt. Sie ermöglicht den einfachen Zugang zu neuesten, professionell gewarteten Anwendungen, verschiedensten digitalen Medien, die Vernetzung verschiedener Lernorte und den rechtssicheren Einsatz von Kommunikations- und Kollaborationstools.
Die Entwicklung der HPI Schul-Cloud ist umso notwendiger, als dass rechtliche Anforderungen - insbesondere aus der Datenschutzgrundverordnung der EU herrührend - den Einsatz von Cloud-Anwendungen, die in der Arbeitswelt verbreitet sind, in Schulen unmöglich machen. Im Bildungsbereich verbreitete Anwendungen sind größtenteils technisch veraltet und nicht benutzerfreundlich.
Dies nötigt die Bundesländer zu kostspieligen Eigenentwicklungen mit Aufwänden im zweistelligen Millionenbereich - Projekte die teilweise gescheitert sind. Dank der modularen Micro-Service-Architektur können die Bundesländer zukünftig auf die HPI Schul-Cloud als technische Grundlage für ihre Eigen- oder Gemeinschaftsprojekte zurückgreifen. Hierfür gilt es, eine nachhaltige Struktur für die Weiterentwicklung der Open-Source-Software HPI Schul-Cloud zu schaffen.
Dieser Bericht beschreibt den Entwicklungsstand und die weiteren Perspektiven des Projekts HPI Schul-Cloud im Januar 2019. 96 Schulen deutschlandweit nutzen die HPI Schul-Cloud, bereitgestellt durch das Hasso-Plattner-Institut. Weitere 45 Schulen und Studienseminare nutzen die Niedersächsische Bildungscloud, die technisch auf der HPI Schul-Cloud basiert. Das vom Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung geförderte Projekt läuft in der gegenwärtigen Roll-Out-Phase bis zum 31. Juli 2021. Gemeinsam mit unserem Kooperationspartner MINT-EC streben wir an, die HPI Schul-Cloud möglichst an allen Schulen des Netzwerks einzusetzen.
