  text: "Aufgrund der Fortschritte der Digitalisierung finden Systeme zur Zustandsüberwachung
    vermehrt Einsatz in der Industrie, um durch eine zustandsbasierte oder eine prädiktive
    Instandhaltung Vorteile, wie eine verbesserte Zuverlässigkeit und geringere Kosten
    zu erzielen. Dabei beruhen Zustandsüberwachungssysteme auf den folgenden Bausteinen:
    Sensorik, Datenvorverarbeitung, Merkmalsextraktion und -auswahl, Diagnose bzw.
    Prognose sowie einer Entscheidungsfindung basierend auf den Ergebnissen. Jeder
    dieser Bausteine erfordert individuelle Einstellungen, um ein geeignetes Zustandsüberwachungssystem
    für die jeweilige Anwendung zu entwickeln. Eine offene Fragestellung im Bereich
    der Zustandsüberwachung ergibt sich aufgrund der Unsicherheit der Zukunft, die
    sich in den zukünftigen Betriebs- und Umgebungsbedingungen zeigt. Diese Unsicherheit
    gilt es in allen Bausteinen zu berücksichtigen.\r\nDieser Beitrag konzentriert
    sich auf den Baustein Merkmalsextraktion und -selektion, mit dem Ziel anhand geeigneter
    Merkmale eine Prognose der nutzbaren Restlebensdauer mit hoher Genauigkeit realisieren
    zu können. Daher werden geeignete Merkmale aus dem Zeitbereich und daraus abgeleitete
    Zustandsindikatoren für die Restlebensdauerprognose von technischen Systemen vorgestellt.
    Dabei sind Zustandsindikatoren Kenngrößen zur Beobachtung des Zustands der kritischen
    Systemkomponenten. Anhand dreier Anwendungsbeispiele wird ihre Eignung evaluiert.
    Dabei werden Daten aus Lebensdauerversuchen unter instationären Betriebs- und
    Umgebungsbedingungen ausgewertet. Die auftretenden Unsicherheiten der Zukunft
    werden somit berücksichtigt. Die Beispielsysteme beruhen auf Gummi-Metall-Elementen
    und Wälzlagern. Aus den generierten Ergebnissen lässt sich schließen, dass die
    Zustandsindikatoren aus der betrachteten Zeitreihen-Toolbox auch unter unbekannten
    Betriebs- und Umgebungsbedingungen robust sind.\r\n"

  text: "Due to the advances in digitalization, condition monitoring systems have
    found numerous applications in the industry due to benefits such as improved reliability
    and lowered costs through condition-based or predictive maintenance. Condition
    monitoring systems typically involve elements, such as data acquisition via suitable
    sensors, data preprocessing, feature extraction and selection, diagnostics, prognostics
    and (maintenance) decisions based on diagnosis or prognosis. For the application-specific
    development of a suitable condition monitoring system, each of these elements
    requires individual settings. Due to the uncertainty of the future, an open question
    arises in the condition monitoring field, which is reflected in unknown future
    operating and environmental conditions. This uncertainty needs consideration in
    all elements of a condition monitoring system.\r\nThis article focuses on feature
    extraction and selection, building on the hypothesis that the remaining useful
    life of a technical system can be predicted with high accuracy utilizing suitable
    features. In this article, health indicators derived from time-domain features
    that permit the monitoring of the health of critical system components are presented
    for predicting the remaining useful life of technical systems. Three distinct
    application examples based on rubber-metal elements and rolling-element bearings
    are evaluated to validate the suitability of the presented methods. Experimental
    data from accelerated lifetime tests conducted under non-stationary operating
    and environmental conditions are considered to take possible future uncertainties
    into account. It can be concluded from the acquired results that health indicators
    derived from the presented time series toolbox are robust to varying operating
    and environmental conditions.\r\n"

  text: Several methods, including order analysis, wavelet analysis and empirical
    mode decomposition have been proposed and successfully employed for the health
    state estimation of technical systems operating under varying conditions. However,
    where information such as the speed of rotating machinery, component specifications
    or other domain-specific information is unavailable, such methods are often infeasible.
    Thus, this paper investigates the application of classical time-domain features,
    features from the medical field and novel features from the highly comparative
    time-series analysis (HCTSA) package, for the health state estimation of rotating
    machinery operating under varying conditions. Furthermore, several feature selection
    methods are investigated to identify features as viable health indicators for
    the diagnostics and prognostics of technical systems. As a case study, the presented
    methods are evaluated on real-world and experimentally acquired vibration data
    of bearings operating under varying speed. The results show that the selected
    features can successfully be employed as health indicators for technical systems
    operating under varying conditions.

  text: In the industry 4.0 era, there is a growing need to transform unstructured
    data acquired by a multitude of sources into information and subsequently into
    knowledge to improve the quality of manufactured products, to boost production,
    for predictive maintenance, etc. Data-driven approaches, such as machine learning
    techniques, are typically employed to model the underlying relationship from data.
    However, an increase in model accuracy with state-of-the-art methods, such as
    deep convolutional neural networks, results in less interpretability and transparency.
    Due to the ease of implementation, interpretation and transparency to both domain
    experts and non-experts, a rule-based method is proposed in this paper, for prognostics
    and health management (PHM) and specifically for diagnostics. The proposed method
    utilizes the most relevant sensor signals acquired via feature extraction and
    selection techniques and expert knowledge. As a case study, the presented method
    is evaluated on data from a real-world quality control set-up provided by the
    European prognostics and health management society (PHME) at the conference’s
    2021 data challenge. With the proposed method, our team took the third place,
    capable of successfully diagnosing different fault modes, irrespective of varying
    conditions.

  text: Despite the intrinsic hardness of the Traveling Salesperson Problem (TSP)
    heuristic solvers, e.g., LKH+restart and EAX+restart, are remarkably successful
    in generating satisfactory or even optimal solutions. However, the reasons for
    their success are not yet fully understood. Recent approaches take an analytical
    viewpoint and try to identify instance features, which make an instance hard or
    easy to solve. We contribute to this area by generating instance sets for couples
    of TSP algorithms A and B by maximizing/minimizing their performance difference
    in order to generate instances which are easier to solve for one solver and much
    harder to solve for the other. This instance set offers the potential to identify
    key features which allow to distinguish between the problem hardness classes of
    both algorithms.

  text: With the paradigm shift towards prognostic and health management (PHM) of
    machinery, there is need for reliable PHM methodologies with narrow error bounds
    to allow maintenance engineers take decisive maintenance actions based on the
    prognostic results. Prognostics is mainly concerned with the estimation of the
    remaining useful life (RUL) or time to failure (TTF). The accuracy of PHM methods
    is usually a function of the features extracted from the raw data obtained from
    sensors. In cases where the extracted features do not display clear degradation
    trends, for instance highly loaded bearings, the accuracy of the state of the
    art PHM methods is significantly affected. The data which lacks clear degradation
    trend is referred to as non-trending data. This study presents a method for extracting
    degradation trends from non-trending condition monitoring data for RUL estimation.
    The raw signals are first filtered using a discrete wavelet transform (DWT) denoising
    filter to remove noise from the acquired signals. Time domain, frequency domain
    and time-frequency domain features are then extracted from the filtered signals.
    An autoregressive model is then applied to the extracted features to identify
    the degradation trends. Features representing the maximum health information are
    then selected based on a performance evaluation criteria using extreme learning
    machine (ELM) algorithm. The selected features can then be used as inputs in a
    prognostic algorithm. The feasibility of the method is demonstrated using experimental
    bearing vibration data. The performance of the method is evaluated on the accuracy
    of RUL estimation and the results show that the method can be used to accurately
    estimate RUL with a maximum error of 10\%.

  text: Understanding the behaviour of well-known algorithms for classical NP-hard
    optimisation problems is still a difficult task. With this paper, we contribute
    to this research direction and carry out a feature based comparison of local search
    and the well-known Christofides approximation algorithm for the Traveling Salesperson
    Problem. We use an evolutionary algorithm approach to construct easy and hard
    instances for the Christofides algorithm, where we measure hardness in terms of
    approximation ratio. Our results point out important features and lead to hard
    and easy instances for this famous algorithm. Furthermore, our cross-comparison
    gives new insights on the complementary benefits of the different approaches.

  text: Meta-heuristics are frequently used to tackle NP-hard combinatorial optimization
    problems. With this paper we contribute to the understanding of the success of
    2-opt based local search algorithms for solving the traveling salesperson problem
    (TSP). Although 2-opt is widely used in practice, it is hard to understand its
    success from a theoretical perspective. We take a statistical approach and examine
    the features of TSP instances that make the problem either hard or easy to solve.
    As a measure of problem difficulty for 2-opt we use the approximation ratio that
    it achieves on a given instance. Our investigations point out important features
    that make TSP instances hard or easy to be approximated by 2-opt.
