Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Optimierung der Fahrzeugdiagnose durch eine
Book SynopsisRalf Thomas Lutchen stellt eine neue Methode zur Erstellung von automatisierten Testabläufen in der Fahrzeugentwicklung auf. Dabei setzt der Autor Cloud- und KI-Modelle ein, durch welche die herausfordernde Optimierung der Durchlaufzeit einer Messaufgabe mit 63 % Reduzierung erreicht werden konnte. Zusätzlich zu dieser Optimierung zeigt er auf, wie gleichzeitig die Aktualität der Messaufgabe verbessert wird, bei ebenfalls steigender Vollständigkeit, indem die Komplexität in die Cloud und damit an die KI übertragen wird. Der dafür notwendige Prozess ist die vollständige Identifizierung der Steuergeräte, ihrer Softwarestände sowie aller Datennetze, die am Testequipment angeschlossen sind. Diese Technologie wird erstmals in dieser Studie hergeleitet und ist der Kern der Methode. Die sich daraus ergebenden ökonomischen und ökologischen Vorteile sind im Verhältnis zu den sich zeigenden Kosten und Energiebedarfen signifikant.Table of ContentsTestablauferstellung in der Fahrzeugentwicklung.- Methode zur Identifizierung der Fahrzeug-Netzwerk-Architektur.- Prozess zur Identifikation der physikalischen Netzwerkstruktur.- Anwendung und praktischer Nachweis.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Becoming a datadriven Organisation
Book SynopsisData is the foundation of any current and future market transformation during this digital era. Companies are expected to adjust or to disappear. However, following assessments by Gartner and Forrester during the past two years, only a small fraction of all enterprises has adequately addressed the handling of data so far. Yet, more and more business leaders have become aware of the topic. They recognize the increasing relevance of data, and the need to act now. Those leaders will welcome this book as it guides them through the first steps in their journey towards a data-driven organisation.This book brings the topic of Data and its commercial usage to the attention of a broad range of business leaders. It encourages you to get engaged, by explaining in a non-technical way what data comprises, which opportunities wait to get discovered and, most importantly, how to prepare and launch the introduction of a Data Office in a company.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Kompatibilitätsverfahren für Profinet-Hardware
Book SynopsisDie Vernetzung von industriellen Produktionssystemen soll in Zukunft auf Basis von Ethernet Time Sensitive Networks (TSN) umgesetzt werden. Die Einführung einer neuen Netzwerktechnik in die Feldebene der industriellen Produktion stellt jedoch eine besondere Herausforderung dar, da neben Netzwerkfunktionen eine echtzeitfähige Implementierung von Protokollen und spezifischen Anwendungen in die Feldgeräte erforderlich ist. Bei häufig geringen Stückzahlen der anwendungsspezifischen Geräte sind derartige Neuentwicklungen häufig wirtschaftlich nicht tragbar. Migrationsstrategien kommt daher eine entsprechend große Bedeutung zu.Die Forschungsfrage dieser Arbeit lautet: Wie können bestehende Geräte des Echtzeit-Ethernet-Systems PROFINET mit den geforderten Funktions- und Leistungsmerkmalen wie Zeitsynchronisation und synchronisierte Kommunikation kompatibel mit Ethernet TSN-Netzwerken genutzt werden? Der Autor entwickelte Kompatibilitätsverfahren, mit denen dies möglich wird. Das zentrale Kompatibilitätsverfahren ist der Ethernet TSN-kompa¬tible Bridging-Modus Time Aware Forwarding (TAF), der zeitgesteuerte Kommunikation auf der Basis der Empfangszeit zeitrichtig weiterleitet und per Softwareupdate auf bestehender PROFINET-Hardware implementiert werden kann. Diese Geräte können damit in TSN-Netzwerke integriert werden und synchronisierte Kommunikation mit einem Jitter kleiner als 1 µs nutzen.Table of ContentsEinleitung.- Entwicklung der industriellen Kommunikation und der Anforderungen.- Stand der Wissenschaft und Technik.- Analyse der Kompatibilität von Ethernet TSN und PROFINET-Hardware.- Kompatibilitätsverfahren.- Validierung der Verfahren.- Zusammenfassung und Bewertung.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Advances in Mathematical Logic: Dedicated to the
Book SynopsisGaisi Takeuti was one of the most brilliant, genius, and influential logicians of the 20th century. He was a long-time professor and professor emeritus of mathematics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA, before he passed away on May 10, 2017, at the age of 91. Takeuti was one of the founders of Proof Theory, a branch of mathematical logic that originated from Hilbert's program about the consistency of mathematics. Based on Gentzen's pioneering works of proof theory in the 1930s, he proposed a conjecture in 1953 concerning the essential nature of formal proofs of higher-order logic now known as Takeuti's fundamental conjecture and of which he gave a partial positive solution. His arguments on the conjecture and proof theory in general have had great influence on the later developments of mathematical logic, philosophy of mathematics, and applications of mathematical logic to theoretical computer science. Takeuti's work ranged over the whole spectrum of mathematical logic, including set theory, computability theory, Boolean valued analysis, fuzzy logic, bounded arithmetic, and theoretical computer science. He wrote many monographs and textbooks both in English and in Japanese, and his monumental monograph Proof Theory, published in 1975, has long been a standard reference of proof theory. He had a wide range of interests covering virtually all areas of mathematics and extending to physics. His publications include many Japanese books for students and general readers about mathematical logic, mathematics in general, and connections between mathematics and physics, as well as many essays for Japanese science magazines. This volume is a collection of papers based on the Symposium on Advances in Mathematical Logic 2018. The symposium was held September 18–20, 2018, at Kobe University, Japan, and was dedicated to the memory of Professor Gaisi Takeuti. Table of ContentsS. Fuchino and A.

ISTE Ltd and John Wiley & Sons Inc Enterprise Data Governance: Reference and Master
Book SynopsisIn an increasingly digital economy, mastering the quality of data is an increasingly vital yet still, in most organizations, a considerable task. The necessity of better governance and reinforcement of international rules and regulatory or oversight structures (Sarbanes Oxley, Basel II, Solvency II, IAS-IFRS, etc.) imposes on enterprises the need for greater transparency and better traceability of their data. All the stakeholders in a company have a role to play and great benefit to derive from the overall goals here, but will invariably turn towards their IT department in search of the answers. However, the majority of IT systems that have been developed within businesses are overly complex, badly adapted, and in many cases obsolete; these systems have often become a source of data or process fragility for the business. It is in this context that the management of ‘reference and master data’ or Master Data Management (MDM) and semantic modeling can intervene in order to straighten out the management of data in a forward-looking and sustainable manner. This book shows how company executives and IT managers can take these new challenges, as well as the advantages of using reference and master data management, into account in answering questions such as: Which data governance functions are available? How can IT be better aligned with business regulations? What is the return on investment? How can we assess intangible IT assets and data? What are the principles of semantic modeling? What is the MDM technical architecture? In these ways they will be better able to deliver on their responsibilities to their organizations, and position them for growth and robust data management and integrity in the future.Table of ContentsTestimonials from the MDM Alliance Group xiii Foreword xxv Preface xxix Acknowledgements xxxix Introduction to MDM xli PART ONE: THE MDM APPROACH 1 Chapter 1.
