Providing such services requires to decide how often to instantiate each component, where to place these instances in the network, how to chain them and route traffic through them. \r\nTo overcome limitations of conventional, hardwired heuristics, deep reinforcement learning (DRL) approaches for self-learning network and service management have emerged recently. These model-free DRL approaches are more flexible but typically learn tabula rasa, i.e., disregard existing understanding of networks, services, and their coordination. \r\n\r\nInstead, we propose FutureCoord, a novel model-based AI approach that leverages existing understanding of networks and services for more efficient and effective coordination without time-intensive training. FutureCoord combines Monte Carlo Tree Search with a stochastic traffic model. This allows FutureCoord to estimate the impact of future incoming traffic and effectively optimize long-term effects, taking fluctuating demand and Quality of Service (QoS) requirements into account. Our extensive evaluation based on real-world network topologies, services, and traffic traces indicates that FutureCoord clearly outperforms state-of-the-art model-free and model-based approaches with up to 51% higher flow success ratios."}],"file":[{"creator":"stschn","date_created":"2022-01-11T08:39:57Z","date_updated":"2022-01-11T08:39:57Z","file_id":"29222","access_level":"open_access","file_name":"author_version.pdf","file_size":528653,"content_type":"application/pdf","relation":"main_file"}],"publication":"IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS)","conference":{"end_date":"2022-04-29","location":"Budapest","name":"IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS)","start_date":"2022-04-25"},"date_updated":"2022-01-11T08:44:04Z","oa":"1","author":[{"full_name":"Werner, Stefan","last_name":"Werner","first_name":"Stefan"},{"first_name":"Stefan Balthasar","orcid":"0000-0001-8210-4011","last_name":"Schneider","id":"35343","full_name":"Schneider, Stefan Balthasar"},{"first_name":"Holger","last_name":"Karl","id":"126","full_name":"Karl, Holger"}],"citation":{"ama":"Werner S, Schneider SB, Karl H.

While knowledge is acquired during studies, the preparatory service, which takes place predominantly in schools, serves to acquire practical competencies, which include reference to theoretical knowledge and the development of experience-based knowledge. The measures to contain the corona pandemic not only change everyday school life but also have an impact on the competence development of prospective teachers in preparatory service, who have to carry out their professional training under changed boundary conditions. Among other things, the current boundary conditions can make regular training more difficult due to a lack of or limited practical experience, which then can contribute to an increased feeling of stress among prospective teachers. This article refers to data from an explorative interview study with prospective teachers from North Rhine-Westphalia (N = 19) who completed their preparatory service during the pandemic in the year 2020. It is discussed which stress factors can occur in connection with the corona pandemic during preparatory service and to what extent prospective teachers experience themselves as stressed during their preparatory service against the background of the current boundary conditions as a result of the corona pandemic.","lang":"eng"}],"publication":"Berufsausbildung zwischen Hygienemaßnahmen und Lockdown(s).

In doing so, both the knowledge of the educational sciences and the development of competence self-assessments in the fields of teaching, education, assessment andinnovating are taken into account. The study makes use of the following individual requirements: age, sex, Abitur grade, Bachelor grade, Confession. In order to be able to discuss the re-sults regarding their importance for the professionalization of prospective teachers, the importance of knowledge for professional skills is highlighted, preceded by empirical findings. Subsequently, hypotheses are derived, the plan of the study as well as the test instruments are presented, the results presented and discussed. The results show that the Abitur and Bachelor grades clarify the variance in pedagogical knowledge, that there is a significant development in the competence self-assessments of prospective teachers, and that prospective religious teachers are not different from other students. The discussion takes into account, among other things, the ideas for the devel-opment of professional skills and identifies limitations associated with the study. This is followed by the formula-tion of an outlook. The main aim of the paper is to present representative results of the competence measurement and to examine potential influencing factors on student competence development. A conglomerate of resilient knowledge enriched by this aims to be used in the long term to derive teacher training didactic considerations that support student professionalization.","lang":"eng"}],"type":"journal_article","publication":"Religionspädagogische Beiträge.

The common understanding of inclusion as a process geared towards equal participation of all children (Booth, 2012) requires a reflexive questioning of established values, attitudes and practices in order to develop inclusive subject related research, teacher training and teaching and learning (Pech & Schomaker, 2013). Among other things, this results in consequences for the design of pre- service teacher training. To a large extent, teacher education is driven by the promotion of central competencies, interests and self-efficacy (Baumert & Kunter, 2011). It aims towards the development and realisation of inclusive interdisciplinary science and social studies (‘Sachunterricht’) in primary education (Moser, 2018). In conjunction with largely acknowledged constructivist approaches to teaching and learning (Möller, 2001), the development of personality, the consideration of basic needs (Deci & Ryan, 1993) and promotion of individual potentials are repeatedly fundamentally represented in subject related and pedagogical considerations (Feuser, 1989; GDSU, 2013). Therefore, the aforementioned constructivist approach is connected to several certain key paradigms for teaching and learning processes (e.g., Vygotskij, 1978; Posner et al., 1982; van de Pol et al., 2010). In this regard, the nature of primary school students’ basic needs have empirically not been sufficiently studied yet. Theoretical frameworks from motivational psychology (Deci & Ryan, 1993) do not explicitly address how individual needs differ and how the diversity of needs can be included in joint-learning, multi-perspective technology education classes. The research project the present paper is part of aims to develop a research-based concept for the professionalisation of pre-service teachers in a seminar course. Therefore, the promotion of the pre- service teachers’ interests and self-efficacy expectations have been assessed in a pre-post research design with a control group visiting another course not related to technology education and inclusion. The present paper describes and discusses first results of the project and will give an outlook on subsequent developmental tasks.","lang":"eng"}],"keyword":["Inclusion","basic needs","pre-service teacher training","interest","self-efficacy"],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"quality_controlled":"1","year":"2022","date_created":"2023-01-25T15:13:45Z","title":"How to enable pre-service teachers to design technological teaching and learning inclusively? – On the nature and consideration of basic needs in teacher training"},{"publication":"European Journal of Information Systems","type":"journal_article","status":"public","_id":"36083","department":[{"_id":"195"}],"user_id":"14931","keyword":["Library and Information Sciences","Information Systems","Self-Tracking","User Behaviour","Discontinuance"],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["0960-085X","1476-9344"]},"publication_status":"published","year":"2022","page":"1-21","citation":{"apa":"Constantiou, I., Mukkamala, A., Sjöklint, M., & Trier, M.

Providing these services requires online coordination including scaling the service, placing instance of all components in the network, scheduling traffic to these instances, and routing traffic through the network. Optimized service coordination is still a hard problem due to many influencing factors such as rapidly arriving user demands and limited node and link capacity. Existing approaches to solve the problem are often built on rigid models and assumptions, tailored to specific scenarios. If the scenario changes and the assumptions no longer hold, they easily break and require manual adjustments by experts. Novel self-learning approaches using deep reinforcement learning (DRL) are promising but still have limitations as they only address simplified versions of the problem and are typically centralized and thus do not scale to practical large-scale networks.\r\n\r\nTo address these issues, we propose a distributed self-learning service coordination approach using DRL. After centralized training, we deploy a distributed DRL agent at each node in the network, making fast coordination decisions locally in parallel with the other nodes. Each agent only observes its direct neighbors and does not need global knowledge. Hence, our approach scales independently from the size of the network. In our extensive evaluation using real-world network topologies and traffic traces, we show that our proposed approach outperforms a state-of-the-art conventional heuristic as well as a centralized DRL approach (60% higher throughput on average) while requiring less time per online decision (1 ms).","lang":"eng"}],"publication":"IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS)","conference":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS)","location":"Washington, DC, USA"},"author":[{"first_name":"Stefan Balthasar","last_name":"Schneider","orcid":"0000-0001-8210-4011","full_name":"Schneider, Stefan Balthasar","id":"35343"},{"last_name":"Qarawlus","full_name":"Qarawlus, Haydar","first_name":"Haydar"},{"last_name":"Karl","id":"126","full_name":"Karl, Holger","first_name":"Holger"}],"date_updated":"2022-01-06T06:55:04Z","oa":"1","citation":{"ama":"Schneider SB, Qarawlus H, Karl H.

To process incoming traffic, service components have to be instantiated and traffic assigned to these instances, taking capacities, changing demands, and Quality of Service (QoS) requirements into account. This challenge is usually solved with custom approaches designed by experts. While this typically works well for the considered scenario, the models often rely on unrealistic assumptions or on knowledge that is not available in practice (e.g., a priori knowledge).\r\n\r\nWe propose DeepCoord, a novel deep reinforcement learning approach that learns how to best coordinate services and is geared towards realistic assumptions. It interacts with the network and relies on available, possibly delayed monitoring information. Rather than defining a complex model or an algorithm on how to achieve an objective, our model-free approach adapts to various objectives and traffic patterns. An agent is trained offline without expert knowledge and then applied online with minimal overhead. Compared to a state-of-the-art heuristic, DeepCoord significantly improves flow throughput (up to 76%) and overall network utility (more than 2x) on realworld network topologies and traffic traces. It also supports optimizing multiple, possibly competing objectives, learns to respect QoS requirements, generalizes to scenarios with unseen, stochastic traffic, and scales to large real-world networks.

DD-CoMP and D3-CoMP use multi-agent DRL, which allows distributed, robust, and highly scalable coordination.

It consists of three components: the first one is the conceptualization of smart service-strategies in the sense of a reference model. It defines the aspects to be determined during strategy development. The second component is design knowledge. It provides standard strategies and functionalities in the context of smart services for the development of the strategy. This is done using the third component, a method consisting of a process model and corresponding tools. The process model orchestrates the use of the tools and the design knowledge. The result is a smart service-strategy, which includes the vision for the smart service-business and the way to its realization. The procedure was successfully validated by means of a company in the field of special-purpose machine construction.","lang":"eng"}],"file":[{"file_size":47059853,"access_level":"closed","file_id":"23461","file_name":"Dissertation_Christian_Koldewey(1).pdf","date_updated":"2021-08-20T18:35:06Z","date_created":"2021-08-20T18:35:06Z","creator":"koldewey","success":1,"relation":"main_file","content_type":"application/pdf"}],"date_created":"2021-08-09T15:45:09Z","title":"Systematik zur Entwicklung von Smart Service-Strategien im produzierenden Gewerbe","year":"2021"},{"year":"2021","citation":{"chicago":"Dahmen, Stephan.

We use a sample of 4,058 small private firms operating in the period 2006‐2017 that are not subject to mandatory audits. Firms decide for a voluntary audit of financial statements either because the economic setting in which they operate effectively forces them to do so (e.g., ownership complexity, export‐oriented supply chain, subsidiary status) or because firm fundamentals and/or financial reporting practices limit their access to financial debt, both reflected in earnings quality. We use these factors to model the decision for voluntary audit. In the outcome analyses, we find robust evidence that voluntary audits are associated with higher, rather than lower, interest rate by up to 3.0 percentage points. This effect is present regardless of the perceived audit quality (Big‐4 vs. non‐Big‐4), but is stronger for non‐Big‐4 audits where auditees have a stronger position relative to auditors. Audited firms’ earnings are less informative about future operating performance relative to unaudited counterparts. We conclude that voluntary audits facilitate access to financial debt for firms with higher risk that may otherwise have no access to this form of financing. The price paid is reflected in higher interest rates charged to firms with voluntary audits – firms with higher information and/or fundamental risk.","lang":"eng"}],"status":"public","type":"working_paper","keyword":["private firms","voluntary audit","cost of debt","self‐selection bias","risk"],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"_id":"37136","department":[{"_id":"635"},{"_id":"186"},{"_id":"551"}],"user_id":"88603"},{"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"keyword":["Self-piercing riveting","Lightweight design","Deformation behaviour","Stainless steel","High nitrogen steel"],"department":[{"_id":"157"}],"user_id":"53912","_id":"22930","status":"public","editor":[{"first_name":"Glenn","full_name":"Daehn, Glenn","last_name":"Daehn"},{"first_name":"Jian","full_name":"Cao, Jian","last_name":"Cao"},{"first_name":"Brad","last_name":"Kinsey","full_name":"Kinsey, Brad"},{"first_name":"Erman","full_name":"Tekkaya, Erman","last_name":"Tekkaya"},{"full_name":"Vivek, Anupam","last_name":"Vivek","first_name":"Anupam"},{"first_name":"Yoshinori","full_name":"Yoshida, Yoshinori","last_name":"Yoshida"}],"abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"Self-piercing riveting is an established technique for joining multi-material structures in car body manufacturing. Rivets for self-piercing riveting differ in their geometry, the material used, the condition of the material and their surface condition. To shorten the manufacturing process by omitting the heat treatment and the coating process, the authors have elaborated a concept for the use of stainless steel with high strain hardening as a rivet material. The focus of the present investigation is on the evaluation of the influences of the rivet’s geometry and material on its deformation behaviour. Conventional rivets of types P and HD2, a rivet with an improved geometry made of treatable steel 38B2, and rivets made of the stainless steels 1.3815 and 1.4541 are examined. The analysis is conducted by means of multi-step joining tests for two material combinations comprising high-strength steel HCT70X and aluminium EN AW-5083. The joints are cut to provide a cross-section and the deformation behaviour of the different rivets is analysed on the basis of the measured changes in geometry and hardness. In parallel, an examination of the force-stroke curves provides further insights. It can be demonstrated that, besides the geometry, the material strength, in particular, has a significant influence on the deformation behaviour of the rivet. The strength of steel 1.4541 is seen to be too low for the joining task, while the strength of steel 1.3815 is sufficient, and hence the investigation confirms the capability of rivets made of 1.3815 for joining even challenging material combinations."}],"publication":"Forming the Future - Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on the Technology of Plasticity.

Conventional rivets for self-piercing riveting differ in their geometry, the material used, the condition of the material and the coating. To shorten the manufacturing process, the use of stainless steel with high strain hardening as the rivet material represents a promising approach. This allows the coating of the rivets to be omitted due to the corrosion resistance of the material and, since the strength of the stainless steel is achieved by cold forming, heat treatment is no longer required. In addition, it is possible to adjust the local strength within the rivet. Because of that, the authors have elaborated a concept for using high nitrogen steel 1.3815 as the rivet material. The present investigation focusses on the joint strength in order to evaluate the capability of rivets in high nitrogen steel by comparison to conventional rivets made of treatable steel. Due to certain challenges in the forming process of the high nitrogen steel rivets, deviations result from the targeted rivet geometry. Mainly these deviations cause a lower joint strength with these rivets, which is, however, adequate. All in all, the capability of the new rivet is proven by the results of this investigation.

Schools, peers, and home learning environments are important sources for the development of positive self-efficacy. Expanding on previous research, we investigated the associations between different aspects of the digital home learning environment and students’ ICT self-efficacy. The moderation effects of gender were also tested. A total of 651 children answered a questionnaire about different digital home learning environment dimensions and estimated their ICT self-efficacy using an adapted scale—Schwarzer and Jerusalem’s (1999) general self-efficacy scale. Using the structural equation modeling technique, a digital home learning environment containing six different qualities of parental support was investigated. Families’ cultural capital, parents’ attitudes toward the Internet, and shared Internet activities at home contributed positively to ICT self-efficacy. We observed small gender differences, with the moderation effect being nonsignificant. The results help researchers and practitioners to understand how different dimensions of the digital home learning environment support ICT self-efficacy. We will discuss how parents can enhance the home learning environment and how teachers can integrate this knowledge into formal education."}],"date_updated":"2025-07-16T08:38:51Z","oa":"1","volume":25,"author":[{"last_name":"Bonanati","full_name":"Bonanati, Sabrina","first_name":"Sabrina"},{"first_name":"Heike M.","last_name":"Buhl","id":"27152","full_name":"Buhl, Heike M."}],"doi":"10.1007/s10984-021-09377-8","main_file_link":[{"url":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10984-021-09377-8.pdf","open_access":"1"}],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["1387-1579","1573-1855"]},"publication_status":"published","intvolume":" 25","page":"485-505","citation":{"apa":"Bonanati, S., & Buhl, H.
