Staron, Miroslaw. „Customizing UML with Stereotypes“. Licentiate thesis, Karlskrona : Blekinge Institute of Technology, 2003. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:bth-00238.

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a visual modeling language for documenting and specifying software. It is gaining popularity as a language for a variety of purposes. It was designed as a result of a unifying activity in the last decade. Since this general purpose language cannot suit all possible needs, it has built-in mechanisms for providing extensibility for specific purposes. One such mechanism is the notion of stereotype, which is a means of branding the existing model element with a new semantics. Such extended elements can then act as new model elements as if they were standard model elements. This notion is only one of the possible ways of customizations of the language. The other, more powerful technique is metamodeling, which enables to change UML by directly changing its specification. The thesis investigates the notion of stereotype in UML both from theoretical and practical perspectives. It examines the notion of stereotype as it originally appeared in object-oriented software development as a means of branding objects according to their secondary classification in the system. The initial intent behind stereotypes is compared with the view of stereotypes in UML and similar languages, which later on provides a basis for an understanding of a stereotype in the thesis. The thesis elaborates on a classification of stereotypes from the perspective of their usage. The classification categorizes different usages of stereotypes in different situations. Based on the classification, one such usage is evaluated in an empirical way. The evaluation is done in the form of an experiment on how the stereotypes influence the understanding of UML models. An example of a customization of UML for a conceptual database model is presented. It is a basis for a study on the expressiveness of stereotypes in the context of persistency modeling in objectoriented software. Two ways of the introduction of the stereotypes into the software development process (dependent and independent of UML tools) are outlined.The thesis contains also a presentation of how the knowledge expressed as ontology can be imported into domain models expressed in UML. This research can be seen as a further study on the customization of UML towards usage of ontology-based knowledge.

Reference librarians at East Tennessee State University's Sherrod Library identified LibGuides as an efficient way to introduce undergraduate students, particularly those in their first two years of college, to the university library. Selecting pertinent library resources based on a course syllabus and creating a LibGuide for the course provides the students with a limited number of relevant materials. Librarians and professors view the use of subject guides attached to a course management system site as an effective educational solution. Librarians facing exponentially expanding resources and first-year students who are used to turning to Google for all their information needs can utilize LibGuides to guide students toward more relevant library resources.

Cyberspace plays an increasingly important role in people’s life due to its plentiful offering of services and information, e.g. the Word Wide Web, the Mobile Web and Online Games. However, the usability of cyberspace services is frequently reduced by its lack of customization according to individual needs and preferences.
In this thesis we address the cyberspace customization issue by focusing on methods for user representation and prediction. Examples of cyberspace customization include delegation of user data and tasks to software agents, automatic pre-fetching, or pre-processing of service content based on predictions. The cyberspace service types primarily investigated are Mobile Commerce (e.g. news, finance and games) and Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs).
First a conceptual software agent architecture for supporting users of mobile commerce services will be presented, including a peer-to-peer based collaborative filtering extension to support product and service recommendations.
In order to examine the scalability of the proposed conceptual software agent architecture a simulator for MMOGs is developed. Due to their size and complexity, MMOGs can provide an estimated “upper bound” for the performance requirements of other cyberspace services using similar agent architectures.
Prediction of cyberspace user behaviour is considered to be a classification problem, and because of the large and continuously changing nature of cyberspace services there is a need for scalable classifiers. This is handled by proposed classifiers that are incrementally trainable, support a large number of classes, and supports efficient decremental untraining of outdated classification knowledge, and are efficiently parallelized in order to scale well.
Finally the incremental classifier is empirically compared with existing classifiers on: 1) general classification data sets, 2) user clickstreams from an actual web usage log, and 3) a synthetic game usage log from the developed MMOG simulator. The proposed incremental classifier is shown to an order of magnitude faster than the other classifiers, significantly more accurate than the naive bayes classifier on the selected data sets, and with insignificantly different accuracy from the other classifiers.
The papers leading to this thesis have combined been cited more than 50 times in book, journal, magazine, conference, workshop, thesis, whitepaper and technical report publications at research events and universities in 20 countries. 2 of the papers have been applied in educational settings for university courses in Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden and USA.

Graphical user interfaces (GUIs) are becoming increasingly complex, motivating research into ways of providing users with interfaces that are customized or personalized to their individual needs. Two opposing approaches to interface customization that have received the most attention to date are adaptable and adaptive approaches. An adaptable approach places the user in charge of customizing the interface, whereas with an adaptive approach, the system performs the customization automatically. Since both the adaptive and adaptable approaches have unique advantages and disadvantages, this thesis investigates a mixed-initiative solution to interface customization that aims to maximize each of their advantages, while minimizing their disadvantages. As our first step, we conducted an exploratory experiment with simulated users. Using GOMS analysis, we evaluated the benefits of an appropriately customized interface. We also identified ways in which adaptive support could help users customize more efficiently, and identified user and task factors that impact effective customization. Based on the results of our simulation experiment, we designed and implemented the MICA (Mixed-Initiative Customization Assistance) system. MICA provides users with a facility to customize their interfaces according to their needs, but also provides them with system-controlled adaptive support to help them customize effectively. MICA's adaptive support relies on a novel application of GOMS analysis to reason about the potential performance implications of different customization decisions. Using this formal reasoning, MICA generates customization recommendations aimed at maximizing the user's performance with the interface. MICA also communicates predicted time savings to the user in its rationale component, which describes why and how MICA makes recommendations. We evaluated our mixed-initiative approach through two user studies. Study One examined the general benefits of MICA's approach in comparison to a purely adaptable alternative. The results indicate that users prefer MICA's support to customizing independently, that MICA's support positively impacts performance with the interface (in terms of time on task), and that MICA reduces customization time. Study Two explored the utility of MICA's rationale. With a focus on qualitative data, the study revealed that the majority of users wish to have access to the rationale for reasons such as increased understanding and predictability of MICA's recommendations and increased trust in the system. The study also indicated that not all users want access to the rationale, suggesting that fine-grained transparency and predictability may not be important to all users in all contexts. Since previous work has advocated the importance of interaction transparency and predictability, the results of Study Two suggest that it would be beneficial to gain a more general understanding of when and why rationale is useful.Science, Faculty of

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 2001.Includes bibliographical references.
This thesis proposes a process of providing mass-customized housing based on computer-aided design and production systems. It focuses on the design part, which mainly consists of an interactive system for the generation of design solutions based on a mathematical model called discursive grammar. A discursive grammar includes a shape grammar, a description grammar, and a set of heuristics. The shape grammar provides the rules of formal composition, whereas the description grammar describes the design from other relevant viewpoints. The set of heuristics is used to guide the generation of designs by comparing the description of the evolving design with the description of the desired house. The generation of a design proceeds first by producing a design brief from the user-prompted requirements and then by finding a solution that satisfies this brief. Search is largely deterministic, which decreases the amount of time required to find a solution, thereby making it reasonable to develop Web-based implementations. The proposed model enables an enduring designer's dream, that of the mass customization of housing. The model is illustrated with a case study that includes a shape grammar developed for the houses designed by the architect Alvaro Siza at Malagueira, a description grammar based on the Portuguese housing regulations, and a set of heuristics inferred after a set of experiments. In these experiments, designers were asked to generate houses based on the Malagueira grammar for specific clients. It is argued that this discursive grammar provides a rigorous method for understanding and teaching Siza's design process and that similar grammars could be developed for other styles. A Web page for explaining the grammar and generating new designs on-line was developed as a prototype.

Cane pulling is a technique used in glass blowing to build up intricate patterns which come out in the final piece. Virtual Glass was created to model the cane pulling process from start to finish. There are a variety of standard cane layout patterns, but in truth the full range of possibilities is limited only by the glassblower's skill and imagination. For this reason the previous Virtual Glass interface, which provided only templates, proved to be too restrictive for users. In this thesis I describe an alternative interface we have developed which frees users from the limitations of template patterns. I provide a side-by-side comparison of several previous cane designs replicated in the program with and without the use of this interface. I also detail several unimplemented features and describe the foreseeable challenges with adding them, as well as how they might integrate into the interface when they are included.

StarLogo Nova is a tool that allows users to analyze complex systems by programming agent-based models with a block-based programming language. It can be used in education to study complex systems in a more modern way and is accessible to anyone who has access to the internet. However, there are still a few barriers that reduce StarLogo Nova's impact. First, it is only available in English, so users who are not fluent in English will have difficulty using the powerful tool. Second, novice users who are unfamiliar with programming may find it hard to learn how to program their models, which diminishes their ability to study the science concepts they are trying to model. This thesis takes steps to remedy these problems. First, I develop a system for translating StarLogo Nova into different languages. Then, I work with a fellow researcher in the Scheller Teacher Education Program (STEP) lab on the development of custom blocks: user-defined blocks that can be used to simplify the modeling process. Our design of custom blocks is made with the novice user in mind, creating a more intuitive custom-block creation experience than currently exists in other block-programming languages.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
The starting motivation of this study is to develop an intuitively strong
approach to addressing architectural design problems through
computational models. Within the scope of the thesis, the complexity of
an architectural design problem is modeled computationally by translating
the design reasoning into parameters, constraints and the relations
between these. Such a model can easily become deterministic and defy
its purpose, if it is customized with pre-defined and unchangeable
relations between the constraints.
This study acknowledges that the relations between design constraints
are bound to change in architectural design problems, as exemplified in
the graduation project of the author. As such, any computational design
model should enable designers to modify the relations between
constraints. The model should be open for modifications by the designer.
v
The findings of the research and the architectural design experiments in
the showcase project suggest that this is possible if mass customized
sequences of abstract, modifiable and reusable relations link the design
constraints with each other in the model. Within the scope of this thesis,
the designer actions are mass-customized sequences of relations that
may be modified to fit the small design tasks of relating specific design
constraints. They relate the constraints in sequence, and are mass
customized in an abstract, modifiable and reusable manner. Within this
study, they are encoded in Rhino Grasshopper definitions. As these mass
customized relations are modifiable, they are seen as a remedy for
enabling the designers to build models that meet individual and intuitive
needs of the design problems that designers define.

Since ArcGIS is built using Microsoft's component object model (COM) technology, it is customizable and possible to extend using any COM-compliant development language. In the present study, ArcMap v8.2, a component of ArcGIS Desktop, is customized using the built-in Microsoft Visual Basic for applications (VBA) language, to create a user-friendly toolbar, called landfill site selection (LSS) toolbar, specifically designed for preliminary landfill site selection.
Such a tailored ArcMap environment will enable engineers with different level of knowledge of GIS, to investigate and compare results of applying different criteria, constraints and scoring schemes on the final suitability map for a landfill site in an area.* (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Artificial intelligence is substituting human intelligence and robots are replacing human workers. Instead of settling for this competitive relationship between humans and machines, this thesis proposes a novel framework in which humans and machines work together to solve the complex problems of design-scripting education, problems which humans or machines alone cannot easily solve. In design education, there are few clear guides and pedagogies that can effectively teach students with diverse educational and professional backgrounds, some of who may need individualized tutoring. This thesis specifically explores applications of artificial intelligence (machine learning and computer vision algorithms) in which humans and machines mutually improve their learning performance. Humans can increase a machine's performance by providing training-data sets that can be a foundation for intelligent decision-making. Machines, on the other hand, can improve humans' learning performance by analyzing human study patterns and providing mass-customized instructions. This thesis illustrates that the developed Synthetic Tutor provides novice students with architectural precedents by analyzing their drawings and documents and effectively teaches these students introductory computer programming skills in the context of architectural design. Therefore, this human-machine collaboration has proven an effective framework to solve these ill-structured problems.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
The work presented in this thesis consists of two distinct parts.
The first years of my work focused on the development and improvement of a new equipment built to study magnetic and electrical properties, particularly applying microwaves in reflection and transmission conditions. The sample space in conventional cryostats with superconducting magnets is usually smaller than 10-mm-diameter. Our equipment consists of a hollow cylindrical cryostat having a 33-mm-diameter hole all along its vertical axis. These characteristics enable the measurement of large samples and the use of big resonant cavities to get to a wider microwave (MW) range, particularly in transmission measurements.
The cryostat has a superconducting magnet made of a solenoid that applies a magnetic field from -5 T to 5 T, and a temperature controller that works in the range 1.8 - 300 K. The system is cooled down with nitrogen and helium and the temperature can be controlled with the precision required by each experiment using a heater and a needle valve.
Different probes for a wide range of experiments in our cryostat have been developed in order to be as versatile as possible. Following this idea each one has been divided in two halves that can be combined as it is preferred in each experiment. Each probe is made of a 8-to-10-mm-diameter stainless steel tube that is used to protect and give some stiffness to the measuring device. A coaxial cable and different waveguides are added to these stainless steel jackets, so we end up having nine halves, four upper parts that can be combined with five lower parts. There are three waveguides working in the frequency ranges 33-50 GHz (WR22), 50-75 GHz (WR15) and 75-110 GHz (WR10), and a coaxial cable that maintains the fundamental mode at a frequency of 60 GHz. In the extra lower part a 16-pin Fischer connector is added at the bottom in order to be able to perform more resistance experiments. Once the probes have been built, they have been tested to make sure the system is able to reach high vacuum and to be cooled down. Problems found along the way have been solved and at the end all the probes work properly.
Different sample holders have been designed and built according to the needs in each experiment. The system has been tested by reproducing experimental results with Mn12-acetate, as quantum tunneling and magnetic avalanches, and by obtaining new results on microwave transmission in thin TiN films.
The second part of the thesis focuses on the measurements of thin TiN films in a dilution refrigerator working with a mixture of 3He and 4He that enables experiments at a few tens of millikelvins. The cryostat also contains a superconductor magnet which can apply a magnetic field up to 5 T.
Low-temperature transport properties of nanoperforated superconducting TiN films have been experimentally studied. Resistance measurements have been performed in the critical region of the superconductor-insulator transition (SIT), applying the magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of the structure or the dc current through the sample.
SIT is a transition from a superconductor to an insulator state by localizing the Cooper pairs. The evolution of the SIT with temperature, magnetic field and dc current has been investigated in detail.
Characteristic parameters have been determined for as-cast thin films using the theory of quantum corrections to conductivity. Disorder-driven and field-induced SITs have been measured. Commensurability effects have been observed down to the lowest experimental temperature, and are emphasized in the more disordered samples. The SIT has been observed for a dc current applied across the sample as changes in the curvature at zero bias current. Experiments prove that electronic transport in the nanoperforated samples is mediated by Andreev conversion. Finally, the existence of the superinsulator state has been experimentally proved.El treball que es presenta en aquesta tesi consta de dues parts ben diferenciades. La primera pretén el desenvolupament d’un equip experimental concebut per a l’estudi de propietats magnètiques i elèctriques en materials diversos i, en especial, el treball amb radiació de microones en condicions de reflexió i transmissió. La segona s’ha centrat en les mesures de transport d’una capa fina superconductora de nitrur de titani (TiN) de 5 nm de gruix en un criòstat de dilució.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
This work develops models and tools to help designers address the challenges associated with designing origami-based and developable mechanisms. These models utilize strain energy, kinematics, compliant mechanisms, and graphical techniques to make the design of origami-based and developable mechanisms approachable and intuitive. Origami-based design tools are expanded through two methods. First presented is a generalized approach for identifying single-output mechanical advantage for a multiple-input compliant mechanism, such as many origami-based mechanisms. The model is used to predict the force-deflection behavior of an origami-based mechanism (Oriceps) and is verified with experimental data from magnetic actuation of the mechanism. Second is a folding technique for thick-origami, called the regional-sandwiching of compliant sheets (ReCS), which creates flat-foldable, rigid-foldable, and self-deploying thick origami-based mechanisms. The technique is used to create mountain/valley assignments for each fold about a vertex, constraining motion to a single branch of folding. Strain energy in deflected flexible members is used to enable self-deployment. Three physical models, a simple single-fold mechanism, a degree-four vertex mechanism, and a full tessellation, are presented to demonstrate the ReCS technique. Developable mechanism design is further enabled through an exploration of their feasible design space. Terminology is introduced to define the motion of developable mechanisms while interior and exterior to a developable surface. The limits of this motion are identified using defined conditions. It is shown that the more difficult of these conditions may be treated as a non-factor during the design of cylindrical developable mechanisms given certain assumptions. These limits are then applied to create a resource for designing bistable developable mechanisms (BDMs) that reach their second stable positions while exterior or interior to a cylindrical surface. A novel graphical method for identifying stable positions of linkages using a single dominant torsional spring, called the Principle of Reflection, is introduced and implemented. The results are compared with a numerical simulation of 30,000+ mechanisms to identify possible incongruencies. Two tables summarize the results as the guide for designing extramobile and intramobile BDMs. In fulfilling the research objectives, this dissertation contributes to the scientific community of origami-based and developable mechanism design approaches. As a result of this work, practitioners will be better able to approach and design complex origami-based and developable mechanisms.

Previous issue date: 2011-01-31Discusses the mythical study of the car through the movies passing at the same time by the history of cars using like main basement the theory of Roland Barthes. Reports, understands and gives form to the myth by exploring it as a cultural phenomenon, establishing a relation-ship between the mythical of the car and movies. Shows how the vehicle has an important role in helping to build the characters and the atmosphere of the film. Presents and analyzes vari-ous trends in automotive customization, relating them to the context of contemporary culture and showing them as tools for automotive creation myth. Emphasizes the questions discussed earlier, culminating in a proposal to use the myth as creative element in the design process. Relates to the current design process for permeating concepts as form and function, Gestalt, design thinking, experience design, emotional design, and semantics in product design. It also demonstrates a possible interdisciplinary methodology based on emotional design that adds to existing concepts and methodologies to facilitate the identification or production of myth

Un nombre croissant de recherches indique que les consommateurs utilisent les produits de marque comme outils pour construire et communiquer leur propre identité. Les produits de marque servent de marqueurs de statut et de symboles d’appartenance à un groupe et permettent aux consommateurs de se différencier des autres et d’exprimer leur individualité. Pour créer des marques qui peuvent servir à construire des identités personnelles et pour renforcer le lien entre la marque et le consommateur, il est important que les consommateurs puissent participer au processus de création (co-création). La personnalisation des produits à grande échelle est un outil particulièrement utile pour impliquer les consommateurs dans ce processus qui contribue à augmenter la satisfaction des clients et leur consentement à payer. Cependant, les théories actuelles sur l’utilisation des marques comme marqueurs d’identités personnelles et les théories sur les stratégies visant à renforcer la relation entre la marque et le consommateur ont été élaborées principalement dans un contexte occidental. Le but de cette recherche est donc d’étudier dans quelle mesure les consommateurs d’Asie de l’Est diffèrent, dans leur utilisation des marques comme marqueurs d’identité personnelle, des consommateurs occidentaux. Elle explore également les implications potentielles des différences interculturelles dans la communication des identités personnelles pour la personnalisation des produits et pour la relation entre les marques et les consommateurs. Suite à des études antérieures indiquant que les vêtements et les accessoires de mode sont fréquemment utilisés par les consommateurs pour communiquer leur identité, la présente recherche se concentre sur les produits de mode de marques de luxe et les produits de marques grand public. Conformément à la tradition de la psychologie culturelle, cette thèse part de l’hypothèse que les variations culturelles dans la conception de soi et dans les relations entre l’individu et les autres permettent d’expliquer des différences dans le comportement des consommateurs. Une approche mixte est utilisée pour étudier les différences interculturelles entre des échantillons représentant une culture collectiviste de l’Asie de l’Est (Corée du Sud) et des échantillons représentant une culture individualiste occidentale (Allemagne). Les données quantitatives recueillies au moyen de questionnaires (études 1A et 1B) sont combinées avec les données qualitatives recueillies au moyen d’entretiens semi-structurés en profondeur (études 2A et 2B). Cette recherche apporte de nouveaux éléments concernant les différences interculturelles et permet d'enrichir les théories sur la relation entre la marque et le consommateur et sur l’utilisation des marques comme marqueurs d’identité personnelle. Elle contribue également au courant de recherche émergent sur la personnalisation des produitsA growing body of research indicates that consumers use branded products as tools to construct their self-identity and to communicate their self-identities to others. Besides acting as markers of status and symbols of group membership, branded products allow consumers to differentiate themselves from others and to express individuality. Key to generating identity related brand meaning and to strengthening self-brand connections, is the involvement of the consumer in a co-creation process. Product design customization on a large scale has emerged as a particularly useful tool to involve consumers in the creation process of the brand and to increase their satisfaction and willingness to pay. However, existing theories on the use of brands to signal self-identities as well as strategies for strengthening self-brand connections, such as product design customization, are bound to Western individualistic thinking. The aim of this research is to investigate the extent to which East Asian consumers differ in their use of brands to signal self identities from Western individualistic consumers. In addition, it explores potential implications of cross-cultural differences in the signaling of self-identities for product design customization and self-brand connections. Following prior studies indicating that clothing and fashion accessories are particularly likely to be used by consumers to communicate self-identities, the focus of the present research is laid on fashion products of both luxury brands and high street brands. In line with the tradition of cultural psychology, this thesis draws on the assumption that cultural variations in self construal and in self-other relationships lead to differences in consumer behavior. A mixed methods approach is taken to investigate cross-cultural differences between samples representing an East Asian collectivistic culture (South Korea) and samples representing a Western individualistic culture (Germany). Specifically, quantitative data collected through surveys (studies1A and 1B) are combined with qualitative data collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews (studies 2A and 2B). This research provides novel, cross-cultural insights relevant to existing the orizing on consumer-brand relationships and on consumers’ use of brands as signals of self-identities. It also contributes to the emerging stream of research on product design

Cette thèse a pour objectif global l’étude des significations du DD et de la RSE dans le contexte marocain. La projection sur ces concepts, considérés sémantiquement flous et détenant un caractère malléable, génère plusieurs débats autour de leurs significations etic. Le contexte global de notre thèse est la prise de conscience du Maroc, des soucis environnementaux et sociaux entravant le pays et l’ouverture sur les tendances et pratiques nouvelles à l’échelle universelle. Aussi la résolution des problématiques sociales et environnementales et la préparation d’une structure favorable pour l’adoption et l’adaptation avec les mouvements internationaux. La conjugaison de ces événements bouleversera les systèmes économiques et sociaux et permettra l’apparition de nouvelles conceptualisations dépendantes des valeurs et croyances locales. Trois postulats principaux émanent de notre étude. Il s’agit d’abord d’analyser le niveau d’institutionnalisation du DD et de la RSE dans les idéaux ; il est question par la suite de savoir comment les marocains s’approprient ces concepts et d’analyser les différentes significations qui en ressortent en présence des particularités contextuelles locales ; et enfin analyser les perceptions et traductions qui leur sont attribuées dans la sphère managériale. Par une méthodologie qualitative à visée compréhensive basée sur la découverte, nous avons investi notre terrain, pour examiner les significations du DD et de la RSE avancées par les marocains et pour collecter tout matériau susceptible de générer un sens à ces concepts. Nous avons également procédé par altération afin de confronter les données saillantes etic avec les résultats emic pour enfin ressortir les définitions marocaines du DD et de la RSEThe overall objective of this thesis is to study the significations of SD and CSR in the Moroccan context. The reflection upon these concepts considered semantically vague and of a malleable nature, generates several debates around their etic significations. The overall context of our thesis is shaped by the Moroccan realization of environmental and social concerns that impeding the country and the exposure to new and universal trends and practices. Also solving social and environmental issues and setting up a structure that supports the adoption of and adaptation to international movements. The manifestation of these events will disrupt both the economic and social systems and will allow the emergence of new conceptualizations that depend on local values and beliefs. Three main assumptions arise from our study. First of all, it is about an ideal analysis of the level of institutionalization of SD and CSR; then it is a question of knowing how Moroccans adopt these concepts and analyze different significations that emerge therefrom along with the local contextual particularities; and finally analyze their perceptions and interpretations attributed to them within the managerial field. In order to examine the significations of SD and CSR claimed by Moroccans and to collect all materials that are liable to generate a sense to these concepts, we adopted a qualitative methodology with a comprehensive scope based on the findings. We have also proceeded by alteration in order to combine the salient etic meanings and the emic findings to finally come up with the Moroccan definitions of SD and CSR

Support Vector Machines have been used to do classification and
regression analysis. One important part of SVMs are the kernels.
Although there are several widely used kernel functions, a carefully
designed kernel will help to improve the accuracy of SVMs. We
present two methods in terms of customizing kernels: one is
combining existed kernels as new kernels, the other one is to do feature selection.
We did theoretical analysis in the interpretation of
feature spaces of combined kernels. Further an experiment on a
chemical data set showed improvements of a linear-Gaussian combined
kernel over single kernels. Though the improvements are not
universal, we present a new idea of creating kernels in SVMs.

An ideal user interface accommodates the requirements and abilities of its users, and every user has a specific set of needs that must be fulfilled in order for an interface to be useful. This thesis concentrates on using the post-deployment tailoring technique of customization in order to ensure that an interface meets a user's needs and abilities in a final, user-driven design step. To this end, the more entirely a UI can be customized, the more perfectly it can be transformed into a state that best suits its user. Very few systems offer complete customization: allowing the entirety of an interface to be customized, baring change to its interaction style. While a few systems do offer complete customization, no fully customizable system exists that is built using modern widget-based GUI's. This is the goal of the architecture described in this thesis, the Interface Manager. It uses interface building techniques to make cosmetic customizations and a command-driven style similar to that of Unix shells to make functionality customizations. This system allows interfaces to become well suited to their user, but it also offers open questions about user-initiated innovation in software and the scaling of visual interface design tools.

Web services provide a standardized means of publishing diverse, distributed applications. Increasingly, corporations are providing services or programs within and between organizations either on corporate intranets or on the cloud. Many of these services can be composed together, ideally automatically, to provide value-added service. Automated Web service composition is an example of such automation where given a specification of an objective to be realized and some knowledge of the state of the world, the problem is to automatically select, integrate, and invoke multiple services to achieve the specified objective. A popular approach to the Web service composition problem is to conceive it as an Artificial Intelligence planning task. This enables us to bring to bear many of the theoretical and computational advances in reasoning about actions to the task of Web service composition. However, Web service composition goes far beyond the reaches of classical planning, presenting a number of interesting challenges relevant to a large body of problems related to the composition of actions, programs, and services. Among these, an important challenge is generating not only a composition, but a high-quality composition tailored to user preferences.
In this thesis, we present an approach to the Web service composition problem with a particular focus on the customization of compositions. We claim that there is a correspondence between generating a customized composition of Web services and non-classical Artificial Intelligence planning where the objective of the planning problem is specified as a form of control knowledge, such as a workflow or template, together with a set of constraints to be optimized or enforced. We further claim that techniques in (preference-based) planning can provide a computational basis for the development of effective, state-of-the-art techniques for generating customized compositions of Web services.
To evaluate our claim, we characterize the Web service composition problem with customization as a non-classical planning problem, exploit and advance preference specification languages and preference-based planning, develop algorithms tailored to the Web service composition problem, prove formal properties of these algorithms, implement proof-of-concept systems, and evaluate these systems experimentally. While our research has been motivated by Web services, the theory and techniques we have developed are amenable to analogous problems in such diverse sectors as multi-agent systems, business process modeling, component software composition, and social and computational behaviour modeling and verification.

Today the Web has become the largest information source for people. Web page contents have been more informative. A web page usually contains various contents such as navigation, interaction and information. When a user is browsing a new web page, he usually needs to spend a lot of time on adopt to the layout of the web page. Bernard, 2002 shows that users always expect that certain functional part of a web page (e.g. navigational links, advertisement bar) appears at certain position of that page. Build a customization template of a category of web pages can improve user browsing experience. In order to build the layout of a web page, we proposed a model to identify the types of blocks. The types are based on the need behind the user, i.e. navigational, informational and transactional plus our observation on web pages, i.e. advertising and social. We use various features to identify the type of a block. The major feature is the CSS selectors extracted from a block. The CSS Selectors control how to display a HTML element and usually have semantic relation with the block. In our observation, there are 52% such CSS Selectors in web pages. We proposed the CSS Selector model to extract the keywords from the CSS Selectors. The model uses three methods, i.e. dictionary look up, probability of n-gram sequence, and branching entropy, to segment a sequence of CSS selectors into keywords. We also use features like hypertexts, sizes of HTML elements and context to help classifying the blocks. In block classification, we proposed a 2-stage method to classify the blocks. The method first predicts a type of a block by CSS Selector Model and combines the result from CSS Selector Model into SVM classifier. The experiments show that our CSS Selector Model can extract relative keywords about the block’s type. It is the most important feature in our classification. The results of block classification can be used to build the layout of web page.

Internet of Things, Industry 4.0, access control systems, and modern intelligent office equipment have become important infrastructures for smart cities, and the PoE technology can transmit power and data to the device by Ethernet cable. In this thesis, we use the four pairs of Ethernet routes, and then through the self definition of PoE communication, re-design the PSE and the PD board, which can overcome the limitation of IEEE802.3af /at specification from 30 watt to 90 watt. The power supply on the Ethernet network is changed from two pairs to four pairs, which can greatly reduce the power consumption by 100 meters Ethernet cable. In addition, using the MOSFET to replace the Diode bridge rectifier can improve the overall efficiency, and solve the problem of thermal dissipation at the same time. Finally, re-design the fly-back circuit to synchronous rectification, and provide the power to end device. Currently, the power supply standards of various companies are not uniform. Although USB can be applied to most mobile devices or wearable systems, but it is still not enough for many industrial systems. Therefore, this research can be applied to the Digital Signage in Retail or department store, which can simplify the complexity and decrease cost of connection. Moreover, the heat problem also can be solved in 24-hour operation of system.

“Getting an overview” is a common task performed by coastal professionals in the early phases of management activities. This task involves collecting a variety of information about an area or topic to generate a first impression. This exploratory study examined this single task in detail so as to make recommendations about customizing search results to support that task through the use of an e-Card. Using a structured questionnaire, 20 coastal managers selected coastal characteristics that they would use to generate that first impression. Analysis of the data revealed fifteen core coastal characteristics that were used for the task. The work role that the professional was involved in emerged as a factor that influences characteristic selection. Fieldwork, such as scientific data collection, and management activities, such as drafting management plans, required different coastal characteristics to generate an overview. A prototype e-Card was designed as a proposed task-based search tool.

With technological improvements in response to customers’ demand and combine the information among the supplier. We found the fixed pricing of current business application systems unable to estimate with the actual condition of production. This research wants to build a cost-estimating and pricing model of customizing products. This model divides material into three types: Pure Standardization, Partly Customization, and Pure Customization. We change some factors of production costs and customize processes, that can get some importantly information about costing and pricing. We have two results such as: 1.Build the mold which Cost-Estimating and Pricing of customizing products for business reference. 2.Use the case company’s data to examine the mold, it will provide a reference to get the real example for costs, prices and profits of customizing products.

In this thesis, a button-operation motor-skill assessment (BOMSA) system is proposed to estimate the position-dependent displacement error of a person with cerebral palsy when he/she is operating a button array. This position-dependent displacement error map can be used to design a tailor-made prosthetic keyboard for a person with cerebral palsy. A small displacement error indicates that the subject has a better motor-skill for operating a button array and, hence, the density of buttons can be increased to improve his/her input efficiency. Conversely, a large displacement error indicates that a low density button array is useful to reduce the miss-press rate. Based on the displacement error map obtained by using the BOMSA system, we have also developed a greedy method for designing the keyboard layout. The proposed method takes a default button spacing parameter and automatically determines the maximum number of buttons that can be placed in a specified region. The button spacing is determined according to the displacement error and, thus, it is space variant. Experiment results show that the design outcome is very close to the expected ideal one. With the designed keyboard layout, one can apply the input method design algorithm proposed by Huang in 2011 to develop an efficient prosthetic keyboard for a person with cerebral palsy according to the usage frequency of each character.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
Continuing advances in hardware and in software applications are pushing traditional
operating systems beyond their limits. This is largely due to the fact that these advances,
and their associated requirements, were not foreseen at operating system design time.
This becomes particularly apparent with multimedia applications, whose demands for
guaranteed quality of service differ considerably from those of most traditional applications.
To ensure that many future requirements will be met, along with many existing
demands, one solution is to allow applications to customize their operating system
throughout its life-time. However, opening up an operating system to application-initiated
changes can compromise the integrity of the system, suggesting the need for a security
model. Like any other aspect of a customizable system, such a security model
should be securely customizable, too. Therefore, this dissertation introduces MetaOS, a
securely- and dynamically-customizable operating system which has a securely- and
dynamically-customizable security model.
MetaOS employs four types of building blocks: meta-levels, meta-spaces, meta-objects,
and meta-interfaces. Meta-levels localize customizable system services. Meta-spaces
act as firewalls which prevent custom alterations from affecting unrelated meta-spaces
and their applications. Meta-objects help to modularize meta-spaces into
smaller, easier-to-maintain components. Finally, meta-interfaces provide the heart of the
secure customizing model. MetaOS meta-interfaces are strictly divided into declarative and imperative interfaces,
providing a basis on which to distinguish between calls which only affect the
invoking application (i.e., local-effect calls), and calls which could affect other applications
as well (i.e., meta-space-wide-effect calls). By giving free access to the former, but
limiting access to the latter, a basic balance between flexibility and security can be
struck. Additional flexibility is achieved by allowing new local and meta-space-wide-effect
calls to be added dynamically, by permitting untrusted applications to negotiate
changes with trusted meta-space managers, and by allowing untrusted applications to
migrate to cloned meta-spaces and alter them as necessary.Graduate

Today, because of the Internet become highly developed, the amount of information has rapidly grown and is explosively growing on the web. Every day, even every second, new datum is created and accumulated. It is unpractical and near impossible for a user to spend so much time to read all data specifically. There are amount of methodologies developed for helping users find and understand the key point of datum faster and more efficiently. However, usually, most of the output data items are not really essential to users. Therefore, in this paper, we design a human-machine interface to provide simple and intuitive visual clues for helping solve the above problems. In this research, we use the conventional web mining technologies and the simple association rule method to extract and construct the relations between data, in the first. And then, based on Robert Plutchik’s Wheel of Emotions concept, users are enabled to set up a mapping between a keyword group and a color/emotion. Moreover, these color/emotion mappings are stored in a user profile database, and are utilized next time for customizing and calibrating the relationships among data for the same user. For better presentation of data, we design our interface according to the Law of Proximity and the Law of Similarity from Gestalt psychology. For example, for users to recognize the datum’s relationships more intuitively, keyword groups with stronger association are deployed closely; and, contrarily, keyword groups with weaker association are set farther. The experiment results show that our proposed approaches do not only improve the presentation of data, but also enhance user’s perception to data in an intuitive and interactive way.

This research is under theoretic and case studies to discover how customizing tour products and its service quality affect customer loyalty. It will assist the tourist industry to realize the differences on customizing tour products, service quality and customer loyalty. It is necessary to understand the differences between one’s need and the market segment, in order to design customize tour product and to control its service quality. To cope with the future trend of the tourist market needs to have flexible marketing and management strategies. The research objects rely mainly on one-time buyer or consumers who ever attend-ing overseas group tour. This survey was randomly done by sending out 400 question-naires altogether, retrieve 380, deduct 75 invalid questionnaires, 305 effective ques-tionnaires, and the rate of the effective questionnaire is 76%. Moreover, we use SPSS window software statistics tool to make analysis base on these information. Further analysis conclusions are as follow: Personalize variables are having no-ticeable differences on customizing tour product, service quality and its loyalty. Cus-tomize tour product is having positive affection on service quality. Service quality is having positive affection on customer loyalty. Customize tour product is having positive affection on customer loyalty. Customize tour product will affect customer loyalty by its service quality. The above-mentioned conclusion would be a reference to share with tourist indus-try personnel, relevant scholars and future researchers.

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) suffer from energy-hungry implementation due to requiring huge amounts of computations and significant memory consumption. This problem will be more highlighted by the proliferation of CNNs on resource-constrained platforms in, e.g., embedded systems. In this thesis, we focus on decreasing the computational cost of CNNs in order to be appropriate for resource-constrained platforms. The thesis work proposes two distinct methods to tackle the challenges: optimizing CNN architecture while considering network accuracy and network complexity, and proposing an optimized ternary neural network to compensate the accuracy loss of network quantization methods. We evaluated the impact of our solutions on Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) platforms where the results show considerable improvement in network accuracy and energy efficiency.Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) lider av energihungriga implementationer på grund av att de kräver enorm beräkningskapacitet och har en betydande minneskonsumtion. Detta problem kommer att framhävas mer när allt fler CNN implementeras på resursbegränsade plattformar i inbyggda datorsystem. I denna uppsats fokuserar vi på att minska resursåtgången för CNN, i termer av behövda beräkningar och behövt minne, för att vara lämplig för resursbegränsade plattformar. Vi föreslår två metoder för att hantera utmaningarna; optimera CNN-arkitektur där man balanserar nätverksnoggrannhet och nätverkskomplexitet, och föreslår ett optimerat ternärt neuralt nätverk för att kompensera noggrannhetsförluster som kan uppstå vid nätverkskvantiseringsmetoder. Vi utvärderade effekterna av våra lösningar på kommersiellt använda plattformar (COTS) där resultaten visar betydande förbättringar i nätverksnoggrannhet och energieffektivitet.

This is an investigation of the enthusiasm, scenes and cultural industry of contemporary modified-car culture in Australia, based on fieldwork research with an online-based car club – where I participated as an enthusiast – and archival research of 30 years of enthusiast magazines and other texts. I develop a post-Kantian event-based conception of enthusiasm by drawing on the previous scholarship on modified-car culture read through post-structuralist theories of the ‘event’ and ‘affect’. The oeuvre of Gilles Deleuze is a key theoretical influence on this work, which also draws on the historical method and philosophy of Michel Foucault, the practical social theory of Pierre Bourdieu, and develops Theodor Adorno’s work on the cultural industry by examining its biopolitical dimension. Enthusiasm is often thought of as a charismatic relation between the enthusiast subject and the enthusiast object modified cars. But here, enthusiasm is understood as the event of a multiplicity of affects that exists on transversal scales from the personal to the scene and beyond. I argue that the charismatic relation of enthusiasm is a reduction that enables the enthusiasm of a given scene to become a resource for cultural industries servicing that scene. The event of enthusiasm is defined by the affects that circulate across bodies and which are actualised in the capacities of enthusiasts, the objects engaged with, and practices performed. The scene is defined by the character of the cultural events which populate it and the enthusiasts who participate in the events. The cultural events include cruising, working on cars, racing, showing, and consuming or participating in the enthusiast media. I draw on my fieldwork to examine the affective composition of some of these events. Transformations to the cultural identity of scenes and enthusiasms correlate with broader social changes exemplified by the processes of globalisation. The event of enthusiasm is repeated in different ways that make connections between the scales of the subjectively experienced affects of cultural events to the global-level transformations of the automotive industry and scene. The cultural industries and social institutions enable the enthusiasm by investing in the infrastructure of the scene and facilitating the existence of cultural events through sponsorship or practical support. Archival research on enthusiast magazines allows me to map the transformations to the composition of power relations (dispositif) between the state (governmental regulatory bodies), social institutions (online and offline car clubs, and federations), enthusiast cultural industries (magazines, event promoters, and later importers) and different populations of enthusiasts (from interested public to highly skilled and devoted enthusiasts). The periods roughly delineated include the militancy of street rodding era (the 1970s), the spectacle of street machining era (1980s through to the present), and the immanent online-sociality of the import era (mid-1990s through to the present). The power relations of the three eras of contemporary modified-car culture in Australia are contrasted and I argue that the current dominant set of relations involve spectacular cultural events. In the context of 1980s street machining, I examine the way elite level vehicles built by highly skilled enthusiasts following spectacular head turning styles of modification are used by event promoters and magazines to collectively individuate a population of the interested public. The ‘head turner’ is a singularity that organises the social spaces of the street and car shows and the discursive space of magazines. I argue that the emergent synergistic relation between magazines and event promoters is organised around the capacity of ‘head turners’ to mediate relations between different populations of enthusiasts so that enthusiasm is reduced to a charismatic relation and cultural events become spectacular.Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

The introduction of a vehicle destined for world-wide export brought mass customization to BMW SA. This, together with a 29% headcount reduction, a model range increase, stringent profitability targets and increased customer satisfaction demands, made the previous, un-integrated quality systems used in the Sales&Marketing Division obsolete. A quality management system was required to provide structure to the processes supporting a product which was becoming more and more complex. The implementation of a quality management system is described. This system for the first time, described some of the procedures used in the mass customization process of the BMW SA Sales&Marketing Division. The quality management system is evaluated based on the principle that customer satisfaction and the failure of internal processes need to be measured. Various are identified and recommendations are made. Some of the recommendations described have already been implemented successfully. An integrated mass customization procedure was established. Recommendations regarding customer satisfaction are in the process of being implemented. The effectiveness of these recommendations will be evaluated by future customer satisfaction survey results.Dissertation (MEng (Technology Management))--University of Pretoria, 2006.
