In this thesis we introduce the concept of the degree of formality. It is directed against a dualistic point of view, which only distinguishes between formal and informal proofs. This dualistic attitude does not respect the differences between the argumentations classified as informal and it is unproductive because the individual potential of the respective argumentation styles cannot be appreciated and remains untapped.
This thesis has two parts. In the first of them we analyse the concept of the degree of formality (including a discussion about the respective benefits for each degree) while in the second we demonstrate its usefulness in three case studies. In the first case study we will repair Haskell B. Curry's view of mathematics, which incidentally is of great importance in the first part of this thesis, in light of the different degrees of formality. In the second case study we delineate how awareness of the different degrees of formality can be used to help students to learn how to prove. Third, we will show how the advantages of proofs of different degrees of formality can be combined by the development of so called tactics having a medium degree of formality. Together the three case studies show that the degrees of formality provide a convincing solution to the problem of untapped potential.
Physical computing covers the design and realization of interactive objects and installations and allows learners to develop concrete, tangible products of the real world, which arise from their imagination. This can be used in computer science education to provide learners with interesting and motivating access to the different topic areas of the subject in constructionist and creative learning environments. However, if at all, physical computing has so far mostly been taught in afternoon clubs or other extracurricular settings. Thus, for the majority of students so far there are no opportunities to design and create their own interactive objects in regular school lessons.
Despite its increasing popularity also for schools, the topic has not yet been clearly and sufficiently characterized in the context of computer science education. The aim of this doctoral thesis therefore is to clarify physical computing from the perspective of computer science education and to adequately prepare the topic both content-wise and methodologically for secondary school teaching. For this purpose, teaching examples, activities, materials and guidelines for classroom use are developed, implemented and evaluated in schools.
In the theoretical part of the thesis, first the topic is examined from a technical point of view. A structured literature analysis shows that basic concepts used in physical computing can be derived from embedded systems, which are the core of a large field of different application areas and disciplines. Typical methods of physical computing in professional settings are analyzed and, from an educational perspective, elements suitable for computer science teaching in secondary schools are extracted, e. g. tinkering and prototyping. The investigation and classification of suitable tools for school teaching show that microcontrollers and mini computers, often with extensions that greatly facilitate the handling of additional components, are particularly attractive tools for secondary education. Considering the perspectives of science, teachers, students and society, in addition to general design principles, exemplary teaching approaches for school education and suitable learning materials are developed and the design, production and evaluation of a physical computing construction kit suitable for teaching is described.
In the practical part of this thesis, with “My Interactive Garden”, an exemplary approach to integrate physical computing in computer science teaching is tested and evaluated in different courses and refined based on the findings in a design-based research approach. In a series of workshops on physical computing, which is based on a concept for constructionist professional development that is developed specifically for this purpose, teachers are empowered and encouraged to develop and conduct physical computing lessons suitable for their particular classroom settings. Based on their in-class experiences, a process model of physical computing teaching is derived. Interviews with those teachers illustrate that benefits of physical computing, including the tangibility of crafted objects and creativity in the classroom, outweigh possible drawbacks like longer preparation times, technical difficulties or difficult assessment. Hurdles in the classroom are identified and possible solutions discussed.
Empirical investigations in the different settings reveal that “My Interactive Garden” and physical computing in general have a positive impact, among others, on learner motivation, fun and interest in class and perceived competencies.
Finally, the results from all evaluations are combined to evaluate the design principles for physical computing teaching and to provide a perspective on the development of decision-making aids for physical computing activities in school education.
Answer Set Programming (ASP) is a declarative problem solving approach, combining a rich yet simple modeling language with high-performance solving capabilities. Although this has already resulted in various applications, certain aspects of such applications are more naturally modeled using variables over finite domains, for accounting for resources, fine timings, coordinates, or functions. Our goal is thus to extend ASP with constraints over integers while preserving its declarative nature. This allows for fast prototyping and elaboration tolerant problem descriptions of resource related applications. The resulting paradigm is called Constraint Answer Set Programming (CASP).
We present three different approaches for solving CASP problems. The first one, a lazy, modular approach combines an ASP solver with an external system for handling constraints. This approach has the advantage that two state of the art technologies work hand in hand to solve the problem, each concentrating on its part of the problem. The drawback is that inter-constraint dependencies cannot be communicated back to the ASP solver, impeding its learning algorithm. The second approach translates all constraints to ASP. Using the appropriate encoding techniques, this results in a very fast, monolithic system. Unfortunately, due to the large, explicit representation of constraints and variables, translation techniques are restricted to small and mid-sized domains. The third approach merges the lazy and the translational approach, combining the strength of both while removing their weaknesses. To this end, we enhance the dedicated learning techniques of an ASP solver with the inferences of the translating approach in a lazy way. That is, the important knowledge is only made explicit when needed.
By using state of the art techniques from neighboring fields, we provide ways to tackle real world, industrial size problems. By extending CASP to reactive solving, we open up new application areas such as online planning with continuous domains and durations.
Das Thema der vorliegenden Arbeit ist die semantische Suche im Kontext heutiger Informationsmanagementsysteme. Zu diesen Systemen zählen Intranets, Web 3.0-Anwendungen sowie viele Webportale, die Informationen in heterogenen Formaten und Strukturen beinhalten. Auf diesen befinden sich einerseits Daten in strukturierter Form und andererseits Dokumente, die inhaltlich mit diesen Daten in Beziehung stehen. Diese Dokumente sind jedoch in der Regel nur teilweise strukturiert oder vollständig unstrukturiert. So beschreiben beispielsweise Reiseportale durch strukturierte Daten den Zeitraum, das Reiseziel, den Preis einer Reise und geben in unstrukturierter Form weitere Informationen, wie Beschreibungen zum Hotel, Zielort, Ausflugsziele an.
Der Fokus heutiger semantischer Suchmaschinen liegt auf dem Finden von Wissen entweder in strukturierter Form, auch Faktensuche genannt, oder in semi- bzw. unstrukturierter Form, was üblicherweise als semantische Dokumentensuche bezeichnet wird. Einige wenige Suchmaschinen versuchen die Lücke zwischen diesen beiden Ansätzen zu schließen. Diese durchsuchen zwar gleichzeitig strukturierte sowie unstrukturierte Daten, werten diese jedoch entweder weitgehend voneinander unabhängig aus oder schränken die Suchmöglichkeiten stark ein, indem sie beispielsweise nur bestimmte Fragemuster unterstützen. Hierdurch werden die im System verfügbaren Informationen nicht ausgeschöpft und gleichzeitig unterbunden, dass Zusammenhänge zwischen einzelnen Inhalten der jeweiligen Informationssysteme und sich ergänzende Informationen den Benutzer erreichen.
Um diese Lücke zu schließen, wurde in der vorliegenden Arbeit ein neuer hybrider semantischer Suchansatz entwickelt und untersucht, der strukturierte und semi- bzw. unstrukturierte Inhalte während des gesamten Suchprozesses kombiniert. Durch diesen Ansatz werden nicht nur sowohl Fakten als auch Dokumente gefunden, es werden auch Zusammenhänge, die zwischen den unterschiedlich strukturierten Daten bestehen, in jeder Phase der Suche genutzt und fließen in die Suchergebnisse mit ein. Liegt die Antwort zu einer Suchanfrage nicht vollständig strukturiert, in Form von Fakten, oder unstrukturiert, in Form von Dokumenten vor, so liefert dieser Ansatz eine Kombination der beiden. Die Berücksichtigung von unterschiedlich Inhalten während des gesamten Suchprozesses stellt jedoch besondere Herausforderungen an die Suchmaschine. Diese muss in der Lage sein, Fakten und Dokumente in Abhängigkeit voneinander zu durchsuchen, sie zu kombinieren sowie die unterschiedlich strukturierten Ergebnisse in eine geeignete Rangordnung zu bringen. Weiterhin darf die Komplexität der Daten nicht an die Endnutzer weitergereicht werden. Die Darstellung der Inhalte muss vielmehr sowohl bei der Anfragestellung als auch bei der Darbietung der Ergebnisse verständlich und leicht interpretierbar sein.
Die zentrale Fragestellung der Arbeit ist, ob ein hybrider Ansatz auf einer vorgegebenen Datenbasis die Suchanfragen besser beantworten kann als die semantische Dokumentensuche und die Faktensuche für sich genommen, bzw. als eine Suche die diese Ansätze im Rahmen des Suchprozesses nicht kombiniert. Die durchgeführten Evaluierungen aus System- und aus Benutzersicht zeigen, dass die im Rahmen der Arbeit entwickelte hybride semantische Suchlösung durch die Kombination von strukturierten und unstrukturierten Inhalten im Suchprozess bessere Antworten liefert als die oben genannten Verfahren und somit Vorteile gegenüber bisherigen Ansätzen bietet. Eine Befragung von Benutzern macht deutlich, dass die hybride semantische Suche als verständlich empfunden und für heterogen strukturierte Datenmengen bevorzugt wird.
Contemporary multi-core processors are parallel systems that also provide shared memory for programs running on them. Both the increasing number of cores in so-called many-core systems and the still growing computational power of the cores demand for memory systems that are able to deliver high bandwidths. Caches are essential components to satisfy this requirement. Nevertheless, hardware-based cache coherence in many-core chips faces practical limits to provide both coherence and high memory bandwidths. In addition, a shift away from global coherence can be observed. As a result, alternative architectures and suitable programming models need to be investigated.
This thesis focuses on fast communication for non-cache-coherent many-core architectures. Experiments are conducted on the Single-Chip Cloud Computer (SCC), a non-cache-coherent many-core processor with 48 mesh-connected cores. Although originally designed for message passing, the results of this thesis show that shared memory can be efficiently used for one-sided communication on this kind of architecture. One-sided communication enables data exchanges between processes where the receiver is not required to know the details of the performed communication. In the notion of the Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard, this type of communication allows to access memory of remote processes. In order to support this communication scheme on non-cache-coherent architectures, both an efficient process synchronization and a communication scheme with software-managed cache coherence are designed and investigated.
The process synchronization realizes the concept of the general active target synchronization scheme from the MPI standard. An existing classification of implementation approaches is extended and used to identify an appropriate class for the non-cache-coherent shared memory platform. Based on this classification, existing implementations are surveyed in order to find beneficial concepts, which are then used to design a lightweight synchronization protocol for the SCC that uses shared memory and uncached memory accesses. The proposed scheme is not prone to process skew and also enables direct communication as soon as both communication partners are ready. Experimental results show very good scaling properties and up to five times lower synchronization latency compared to a tuned message-based MPI implementation for the SCC.
For the communication, SCOSCo, a shared memory approach with software-managed cache coherence, is presented. According requirements for the coherence that fulfill MPI's separate memory model are formulated, and a lightweight implementation exploiting SCC hard- and software features is developed. Despite a discovered malfunction in the SCC's memory subsystem, the experimental evaluation of the design reveals up to five times better bandwidths and nearly four times lower latencies in micro-benchmarks compared to the SCC-tuned but message-based MPI library. For application benchmarks, like a parallel 3D fast Fourier transform, the runtime share of communication can be reduced by a factor of up to five. In addition, this thesis postulates beneficial hardware concepts that would support software-managed coherence for one-sided communication on future non-cache-coherent architectures where coherence might be only available in local subdomains but not on a global processor level.
Although it has become common practice to build applications based on the reuse of existing components or services, technical complexity and semantic challenges constitute barriers to ensuring a successful and wide reuse of components and services. In the geospatial application domain, the barriers are self-evident due to heterogeneous geographic data, a lack of interoperability and complex analysis processes.
Constructing workflows manually and discovering proper services and data that match user intents and preferences is difficult and time-consuming especially for users who are not trained in software development. Furthermore, considering the multi-objective nature of environmental modeling for the assessment of climate change impacts and the various types of geospatial data (e.g., formats, scales, and georeferencing systems) increases the complexity challenges.
Automatic service composition approaches that provide semantics-based assistance in the process of workflow design have proven to be a solution to overcome these challenges and have become a frequent demand especially by end users who are not IT experts. In this light, the major contributions of this thesis are:
(i) Simplification of service reuse and workflow design of applications for climate impact analysis by following the eXtreme Model-Driven Development (XMDD) paradigm.
(ii) Design of a semantic domain model for climate impact analysis applications that comprises specifically designed services, ontologies that provide domain-specific vocabulary for referring to types and services, and the input/output annotation of the services using the terms defined in the ontologies.
(iii) Application of a constraint-driven method for the automatic composition of workflows for analyzing the impacts of sea-level rise. The application scenario demonstrates the impact of domain modeling decisions on the results and the performance of the synthesis algorithm.
