 Urs Hugentobler, Messen von Flow mit EEG in Computerspielen, University of Zurich, Faculty of Economics, Business Administration and Information Technology, 2011. (Dissertation)
Viele Tätigkeiten können Flow erzeugen. Bei einer genaueren Analyse fand Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi verschiedene Aspekte, die Flow erzeugenden Aktivitäten gemeinsam sind. Dazu gehört zum Beispiel die optimale Passung von Anforderungen einer Aufgabe mit den Fähigkeiten der ausführenden Person. Dies ermöglicht es unter anderem, so in eine Tätigkeit einzutauchen, dass sowohl die Umwelt, wie auch die eigene Person nicht mehr wahrgenommen werden. Befindet sich eine Person im Flow, spielt auch Zeit keine Rolle mehr. Stunden vergehen wie Minuten im Sog der Tätigkeit. Es gibt bereits verschiedene Verfahren, um Flow zu messen. Bestehende Verfahren haben aber den Nachteil, dass sie umfangreiche Messapparate benötigen oder durch direkte Befragung der Personen den Flow selber unterbrechen.
Im Rahmen dieses Forschungsprojekts ist ein Lernprogramm entwickelt worden, das dessen Benutzer in den Flow versetzt. Ist der Benutzer im Flow, können mit einer neu entwickelten Messmethode EEG-Signale aufgezeichnet werden, die eine Analyse des Flow‐Zustands zulassen, ohne die Testperson aus dem Flow herauszureissen. In diesem Zustand kann anschliessend auch der Zusammenhang zwischen Flow und Lernerfolg empirisch nachgewiesen werden.
Many activities can create flow. In his in-depth analysis, Mihály Csíkszentmihályi has found a number of factors common to activities creating flow, one being that a person’s abilities optimally align with the challenges set by the task. This combined with other factors enables individuals to be so deeply absorbed in an activity that they do not only blend out their environment and their self but also lose all sense of time. There exist various methods to measure flow. The downside of existing procedures is, however, that they require an extensive range of equipment. Another disadvantage is that interviewing test subjects about their flow experience during the experiment naturally interrupts their flow. Within the framework of this research project, a learning program has been developed that allows its user to be inflow. While the user is in flow, a newly developed measurement method will record EEG signals that permit conclusions on the flow state without actually drawing the test subject out of it. This will then allow to empirically establish a causal link between flow and success in learning. |

Hasan Hasan, Implementation and Evaluation of the SciMantic’s Semantic Content Infrastructure, 2011. (Other Publication)
The technical results of SciMantic have been presented in D2.1 (Functional Requirements and
Analysis of Mechanisms for a Semantic Content Infrastructure) and D2.2 (Architecture of a Secure and Scalable Semantic Content Infrastructure). This deliverable, D3.1 (Implementation and Evaluation of the SciMantic’s Semantic Content Infrastructure), is the last technical deliverable in this series which completes the design work in the previous deliverable with implementation and
evaluation of the SciMantic’s Semantic Content Infrastructure (SCI).
Although some refinements in the implementation to achieve modularity and better performance have been made, the implementation has principally been straightforward according to the design.
This deliverable does not only focus on the API descriptions of services provided by the SCI, but also on the service implementation, where necessary, to enable developers to understand mechanisms used and potentially extend or improve the SCI implementation in future. The SCI implementation consists basically of OSGi bundles which can be divided into the following categories (groups): third party bundles, Apache Clerezza bundles, and SciMantic specific bundles.
Developers implementing application logic writes application bundles which use services and functionality offered by the other bundles. The major part of implementation description in this deliverable is dedicated to Apache Clerezza bundles and SciMantic specific bundles. Apache Clerezza bundles are the result of development collaboration between SciMantic partners which see a potential in pushing further development of the resulting software by an open source community under Apache Software Foundation. SciMantic specific bundles are the results of an effort to apply Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technology in a content sharing environment which bases on Semantic Web for modeling linked distributed data. The Knowledge Sharing System (KSS) scenario defined in D2.1 has been prototypically implemented to show the benefit of combining P2P and Semantic Web technology.
The results of the performance and scalability evaluation show that the KSS, implemented on top of the Apache Clerezza, is able to deliver a good response time in the range of a few hundreds of milliseconds to one second for several hundreds of semi concurrent accesses to its Web services.
For this evaluation, tests were set up with negligible network delay by directly connecting the client with the server under test. Furthermore, the use of Distributed Hash Table (DHT) for storing keyword-based index of knowledge units allows for an efficient keyword-based search. The time needed to insert or retrieve a knowledge unit does not depend on the number of knowledge units
already present in the DHT. However, it does grow with the growing number of nodes participating in the knowledge sharing network. Within the evaluated range of the number of participating nodes, the resulting insertion or retrieval time seems to increase linearly, if not logarithmically. Therefore,
it can be concluded that the prototypical implementation of the KSS is feasible to be applied to content sharing scenarios where the Web services are not computationally intensive, and the sharing network may comprise up to several thousands of participating nodes.

James Hong, Filip De Turck, Burkhard Stiller, Deep Medhi, Special Issue Editorial: Management issues in the future internet, Journal of Communications and Networks, Vol. 13 (6), 2011. (Journal Article)
It is widely agreed that the current Internet suffers from a number of fundamental architectural problems, including security, mobility, reliability, scalability, and manageability among others. In addition, business related problems, such as how network and service operators can be profitable, are also present. Recently, researchers in the networking area have been investigating ways to solve these problems, and are designing a new Internet called the Future Internet. Since network management was an afterthought in the current Internet, managing the Internet is currently very cumbersome and difficult. Thus, the manageability of the Future Internet must be considered from the very beginning in order to avoid a similar experience. This special issue on ¡°Management Issues in the Future Internet¡± reports a selected state-of-the-art research on the Future Internet and its management issues. For the readers¡¯ convenience, all papers have been organized within this special issue into three categories: (a) architecture design for management of the Future Internet; (b) design of architectural building blocks for managing the Future Internet; and (c) scalability evaluation, traffic engineering and prediction for the Future Internet. |

Seit das Beratungsunternehmen McKinsey im Jahre 1998 den «War for
Talent», den Kampf um (zukünftige) Fach- und Führungskräfte, ankündigte,
wird Talentmanagement als Lösung für die Herausforderungen des heutigen
Arbeitsmarktes angepriesen , ja geradezu «vermarktet». Häufig bleibt allerdings
unklar, wie «Talente» zu identifizieren sind und welchen Wertbeitrag
«Talentmanagement» zum Unternehmenserfolg wirklich leistet. Von Pamela

Stefan Höfler, Alexandra Bünzli, Kyoko Sugisaki, Detecting legal definitions for automated style checking in draft laws, No. techreport/2011_01, Version: 2, 2011. (Technical Report)
The automatic detection of definitions in legal texts has mainly been considered from the perspective of legal information retrieval so far. In this paper, we demonstrate that the same techniques can also be employed for the purpose of a domain-specific automated style checking of draft laws. We report on the automatic identification of legal definitions in a large corpus of Swiss laws, and we show that the information provided by the pattern-oriented detection mechanism we apply suffices to allow for an automatic evaluation of a range of stylistic rules concerning the use of legal definitions in legislative texts. |
