  text: "Classical machine learning techniques often struggle with overfitting and
    unreliable predictions when exposed to novel conditions. Introducing causality
    into the modelling process offers a promising way to mitigate these challenges
    by enhancing predictive robustness. However, constructing an initial causal graph
    manually using domain knowledge is time-consuming, particularly in complex time
    series with numerous variables. To address this, causal discovery algorithms can
    provide a preliminary causal structure that domain experts can refine. This study
    investigates causal feature selection with domain knowledge using a data center
    system as an example. We use simulated time-series data to compare \r\ndifferent
    causal feature selection with traditional machine-learning feature selection methods.
    Our results show that predictions based on causal features are more robust compared
    to those derived from traditional methods. These findings underscore the potential
    of combining causal discovery algorithms with human expertise to improve machine
    learning applications."

  text: Due to the proliferation of Virtual Reality (VR) technology, VR is finding
    new applications in various domains, such as stock trading. Here, traders invest
    in stocks intending to increase their profit. For this purpose, in conventional
    stock trading, traders usually make use of 2D applications on desktop or laptop
    devices. This leads to many drawbacks such as poor visibility due to limited 2D
    representation, complex interaction due to indirect interaction via mouse and
    keyboard, or restricted support for collaboration between traders. To overcome
    these issues, we have developed a novel collaborative, virtual environment for
    stock trading, which enables stock traders to view financial information and trade
    stocks with other collaborators. The main results of a usability study indicate
    that the VR environment, compared to conventional stock trading, shows no significant
    advantages concerning efficiency and effectiveness, however, we could observe
    an increased user satisfaction and better collaboration.

  text: "Inclusive education is about creating beneficial environments for all students
    (Booth & Ainscow, 2011). Within Germany, the role of special education within
    inclusive schools has been widely discussed in Germany (Powell et al., 2016).
    Educators worldwide consider collaborative teaching between special educators
    and general educators to be a fundamental precondition for inclusive education
    (Hoppey & McLeskey, 2014). The history of the German school system, however, is
    characterized by a rigorous division of special and regular schools that is reflective
    of broad divisions in teacher education. Since the ratification of the Convention
    on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) in Germany in 2009, more students
    with special educational needs, as well as special educators, have begun to attend
    and work in inclusive schools. While cooperation between general and special educators
    is a key to the development of inclusive schools, many teachers report that responsibilities
    are divided between special and general teachers, while various challenges exist
    regarding cooperation (Urban & Lütje-Klose, 2014). Nevertheless, dysfunctional
    cooperation can foster mechanisms of separation and exclusion even in “inclusive”
    settings (Idel et al., 2019). The present chapter offers a reflection on the different
    roles of special educators and the current state of research on interdisciplinary
    and multi professional cooperation in inclusive schools in Germany. It also provides
    a discussion of relevant implications for the development of inclusive schools
    and teacher training.\r\n"

  text: Rapid prototyping based on 3D models is well accepted for several applications.
    This article addresses the application of animated virtual 3D prototypes for the
    development of computer-based systems supporting early collaboration of the system
    designer with the external customer. Our methodology seamlessly integrates illustration
    through 3D animation with the main tasks of computer-based real-time systems development,
    i.e., implementation and verification. The approach is outlined by the example
    of the design of a flexible manufacturing system.

  text: This article introduces and discusses different innovative means for visual
    specification and animation of complex concurrent systems. It introduces the completely
    visual programming language Pictorial Janus (PJ) and its application in the customer-oriented
    design process. PJ implements a completely visual programming language with inherent
    animation facilities. The article outlines the transformation of purely visual
    PJ programs into textual imperative programming languages. The second part of
    the article investigates animated 3D-presentations and introduces a novel approach
    to an animated 3D programming language for interactive customer-oriented illustrations.
