In order to satisfy user requirements, complex services have to be automatically composed of elementary services. Multiple possibilities of composing a complex service inevitably emerge. The problem of selecting the most appropriate services has to be solved by comparing the different service candidates with respect to their quality in terms of inherent non-functional properties while simultaneously taking the user requirements into account. We are aiming for an integrated service rating and ranking methodology in order to support the automation of the underlying decision-making process.

The CFRP is used to reinforce highly stressed areas and can be aligned to specific load cases. The locally restricted application of CFRP means that the material costs can be effectively reduced by comparison to parts made entirely of CFRP on account of the expensive production process requiring the use of an autoclave. These parts are thus only used in high-priced products. The production of hybrid CFRP steel structures in a mass production process calls for an efficient production technology. Current research work within the scope of a collaborative research project running at the University of Paderborn is concentrating on the development of manufacturing processes for the efficient production of automotive structural components made up of sheet metal blanks with local CFRP patches. The project is focusing especially on basic research into the production of industrial components. The aim of the investigation is to create an efficient and controlled process for producing CFRP reinforced steel structures from semi-finished hybrid steel-CFRP material. This includes tool concepts and an appropriate process design to permit short process times. The basis of an efficient process design is an in-depth knowledge of the material behaviour, and hence a thorough characterisation was performed. Material parameters were determined for both simulation and forming. For this, monotonic tensile, shear and bending tests were conducted using both uncured prepregs and cured CFRP specimens. To achieve an accurate simulation of the forming process, a special material model for carbon fibre prepregs has been developed which also includes the anisotropic material behaviour resulting from fibre orientation, the viscoelastic behaviour caused by the matrix and the hardening effects that prevail during curing. Recent results show good qualitative agreement and will be presented in this paper. In order to control the properties of the hybrid components, four different tool concepts for the prepreg press technology have been developed and tested. The concepts are presented and the results of experimental investigations are discussed in this paper.}}, author = {{Schmidt, Hans Christian and Damerow, Ulf and Lauter, Christian and Gorny, Bernhard and Hankeln, Frederik and Homberg, Werner and Tröster, Thomas and Maier, Hans Jürgen and Mahnken, Rolf}}, issn = {{1662-9795}}, journal = {{Key Engineering Materials}}, pages = {{295--300}}, title = {{{Manufacturing Processes for Combined Forming of Multi-Material Structures Consisting of Sheet Metal and Local CFRP Reinforcements}}}, doi = {{10.4028/www.scientific.net/kem.504-506.295}}, year = {{2012}}, } @inproceedings{2774, author = {{Kundisch, Dennis and Meier, Christian}}, booktitle = {{Proceedings of the European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS)}}, location = {{Helsinki, Finland}}, title = {{{A new Perspective on Resource Interactions in IT/IS Project Portfolio Selection}}}, year = {{2011}}, } @inproceedings{2776, author = {{Kundisch, Dennis and Meier, Christian}}, booktitle = {{Wirtschaftsinformatik Proceedings}}, location = {{Zurich, Switzerland}}, pages = {{477--486}}, title = {{{IT/IS Project Portfolio Selection in the Presence of Project Interactions - Review and Synthesis of the Literature}}}, year = {{2011}}, } @inproceedings{1123, abstract = {{Within this paper, we describe the special requirements of a semantic annotation scheme used for biographical event extraction in the framework of the Europeancollaborative research project Biographe.

What has to be taken into account when developing a methodology for writing research from a cultural-historical and dialogical perspective? Firstly, writing is not separated from other forms of speech activity like interpersonal and intrapersonal speech. Thus, inner dialogue and the addressed character of writing become crucial notions to be methodologically considered. Secondly, contrary to current writing research traditions such as literacy studies and studies of the writing process in cognitive psychology, both individual writing processes and socio-cultural writing practices as well as their relationship must be considered. These reflections lead towards the conclusion that writing is not fully accessible to external observation or to introspection. In consequence, a suggestion of a methodological approach is given, inspired by the activity theoretically informed method of auto-confrontation. The proposed method consists of two phases: a) videotaping of a writing episode and b) co-analysis of the videotaped writing episode in dialogue between writer and researcher. The second phase transfers the writing activity into a new context where understanding it becomes possible. The co-analysis makes involved positions audible: positions of the writer and of the researcher, of real and imagined readers as well as intersubjective and community-related positions. Finally, implications of the proposed research setting are discussed and evaluated with regard to the theoretical grounding.
