Especially for large scenes, it is necessary to remove occluded objects to achieve a frame rate that provides an interactive environment. In order to benefit from the culling properly, often hierarchical data structures are used. These data structures typically create a spatial subdivision of a given scene into axis-aligned bounding boxes. These boxes can be tested quickly, but they are not very precise. By using these boxes, the included objects are detected as visible, even if other objects occlude them (false-positives). To get perfect results, the models’ original geometry included in the box has to be tested, but this would require too much computational power. To overcome this problem, original objects’ approximations could be used, but typical methods for mesh simplification cannot be applied, because they do not create an outer hull for a given object. We present a model simplification algorithm, which generates simple outer hulls, consisting of only few more triangles than a box, while preserving an object’s shape better than a corresponding bounding box. This approach is then extended to a hierarchical data structure, the so-called hull tree, that can be generated for a given scene to improve the visibility tests. Next, we present an approximative rendering algorithm, which combines the features of the hull tree with the use of inner hulls for efficient occlusion detection and global state-sorting of the visible objects. }}, author = {{Suess, Tim and Koch, Clemens and Jähn, Claudius and Fischer, Matthias}}, booktitle = {{Proceedings of the Graphics Interface 2011 Conference, May 25-27, St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada}}, editor = {{Brooks, Stephen and Irani, Pourang}}, pages = {{79----86}}, publisher = {{Canadian Human-Computer Communications Society}}, title = {{{Approximative occlusion culling using the hull tree}}}, year = {{2011}}, } @inbook{17894, author = {{Mindt, Ilka and Mukherjee, Joybrato}}, booktitle = {{Anglistik.

We focus on approximation algorithms for NP-hard mechanism design problems. These algorithms need to satisfy certain monotonicity properties to ensure truthfulness. Since most of the known approximation techniques do not fulfill these properties, we study alternative techniques. Our first contribution is a quite general method to transform a pseudopolynomial algorithm into a monotone fully polynomial time approximation scheme (FPTAS). This can be applied to various problems like, e.g., knapsack, constrained shortest path, or job scheduling with deadlines. For example, the monotone FPTAS for the knapsack problem gives a very efficient, truthful mechanism for single-minded multiunit auctions. The best previous result for such auctions was a 2-appro-xi-ma-tion. In addition, we present a monotone PTAS for the generalized assignment problem with any constant number of private parameters per agent. The most efficient way to solve packing integer programs (PIPs) is linear programming–based randomized rounding, which also is in general not monotone. We show that primal-dual greedy algorithms achieve almost the same approximation ratios for PIPs as randomized rounding. The advantage is that these algorithms are inherently monotone. This way, we can significantly improve the approximation ratios of truthful mechanisms for various fundamental mechanism design problems like single-minded combinatorial auctions (CAs), unsplittable flow routing, and multicast routing. Our primal-dual approximation algorithms can also be used for the winner determination in CAs with general bidders specifying their bids through an oracle. }}, author = {{Briest, Patrick and Krysta, Piotr and Vöcking, Berthold}}, issn = {{0097-5397}}, journal = {{SIAM Journal on Computing}}, pages = {{1587--1622}}, title = {{{Approximation Techniques for Utilitarian Mechanism Design}}}, doi = {{10.1137/090772988}}, year = {{2011}}, } @unpublished{18194, abstract = {{We present a parallel rendering system for PC-Clusters to visualize large 3D scenes. One single visualization node, equipped with a high-end graphics adapter, is supported by a group of backend nodes with weak graphics performance. The objects of the scene are distributed among these backend nodes, they serve two purposes: First, they provide an out-of-core memory system for the visualization node. Second, they assist the visualization node's rendering by performing visibility calculations and only sending visible objects to the visualization node. In order to obtain fast rendering with our system, we have to distribute the objects among the backend nodes in a way that does not only guarantee an even distribution of the objects, but also an even distribution of the visibility calculations and the amount of data send to the visualization node. We identify necessary properties of the distribution and argue that a random distribution is a good candidate. Further, in order to reduce the number of objects sent to the visualization node per frame, we employ an approximate hierarchical occlusion culling in each backend node. For this, they are equipped, in addition to the objects assigned to them, with simplified versions of the other objects of the 3D scene. The visualization node is equipped with 512 MiB video memory and supported by 15 backend nodes.

To reduce this effort, we have developed a widely automated method for deriving test plans from requirements that are expressed in natural language. It consists of three stages: annotation, clustering, and test plan specification. The general idea is to exploit redundancies and implicit relationships in requirements specifications. Multi-viewpoint techniques based on RM-ODP (Reference Model for Open Distributed Processing) are employed for specifying the requirements. We then use linguistic analysis techniques, requirements clustering algorithms, and pattern-based requirements collection to reduce the total effort of testing against the requirements specification. In particular, we use linguistic analysis for extracting and annotating the actor, process and object of a requirements statement. During clustering, a similarity function is computed as a measure for the overlap of requirements. In the test plan specification stage, our approach provides capabilities for semi-automatically deriving test plans and acceptance criteria from the clustered informal textual requirements. Two patterns are applied to compute a suitable order of test activities. The generated test plans consist of a sequence of test steps and asserts that are executed or checked in the given order. We also present the supporting prototype tool TORC, which is available open source. For the evaluation of the approach, we have conducted a case study in the field of acceptance testing of a national electronic identification system.

There are several phenomena which influence the traction--creepage characteristics: Mechanisms resulting from surface roughness, frictional heating or the presence of interfacial fluids can have a dominating influence on friction. In this paper, a new wheel--rail contact model, accounting for these influential parameters, will be presented. The presented model accounts for the interaction of an interfacial fluid model for combined boundary and mixed lubrication of rough surfaces with a wheel--rail contact model that additionally accounts for frictional heating. A quantitative comparison with measurements found in the literature is not conducted, since the exact conditions of the measurements are mostly unknown and parameters can easily be adjusted to fit the measurements.

Moreover, the parameter sensitivities vary with respect to the diameter--thickness ratio of the disc and the design of an ultrasonic transducer's piezoceramic has to match other requirements than those of a good material characterization [2, 3]. That is why it is still desirable to find model based approaches for parameter identification that either keep the technical effort low (e.g., only an impedance measurement) or increase speed of the inversion procedure. In this contribution we answer the question if an additional analytical approximation of cE 44, strictly following the ideas of Theocaris [4], in conjunction with a single measured elec- trical impedance will be sufficient for an accurate simulation of both, electrical impedance and surface normal velocity of a piezoceramic disc.
