  text: "The famous $k$-Server Problem covers plenty of resource allocation scenarios,
    and several variations have been studied extensively for decades. However, to
    the best of our knowledge, no research has considered the problem if the servers
    are not identical and requests can express which specific servers should serve
    them. Therefore, we present a new model generalizing the $k$-Server Problem by
    *preferences* of the requests and proceed to study it in a uniform metric space
    for deterministic online algorithms (the special case of paging).\r\n\r\nIn our
    model, requests can either demand to be answered by any server (*general requests*)
    or by a specific one (*specific requests*). If only general requests appear, the
    instance is one of the original $k$-Server Problem, and a lower bound for the
    competitive ratio of $k$ applies. If only specific requests appear, a solution
    with a competitive ratio of $1$ becomes trivial since there is no freedom regarding
    the servers' movements. Perhaps counter-intuitively, we show that if both kinds
    of requests appear, the lower bound raises to $2k-1$.\r\n\r\nWe study deterministic
    online algorithms in uniform metrics and present two algorithms. The first one
    has an adaptive competitive ratio dependent on the frequency of specific requests.
    It achieves a worst-case competitive ratio of $3k-2$ while it is optimal when
    only general or only specific requests appear (competitive ratio of $k$ and $1$,
    respectively). The second has a fixed close-to-optimal worst-case competitive
    ratio of $2k+14$. For the first algorithm, we show a lower bound of $3k-2$, while
    the second algorithm has a lower bound of $2k-1$ when only general requests appear.\r\n
    \   \r\nThe two algorithms differ in only one behavioral rule for each server
    that significantly influences the competitive ratio. Each server acting according
    to the rule allows approaching the worst-case lower bound, while it implies an
    increased lower bound for $k$-Server instances. In other words, there is a trade-off
    between performing well against instances of the $k$-Server Problem and instances
    containing specific requests. We also show that no deterministic online algorithm
    can be optimal for both kinds of instances simultaneously."

  text: "Produktentstehung (PE) bezieht sich auf den Prozess der Planung und Entwicklung
    eines Produkts sowie der damit verbundenen Dienstleistungen von der ersten Idee
    bis zur Herstellung und zum Vertrieb. Während dieses Prozesses gibt es zahlreiche
    Aufgaben, die von menschlichem Fachwissen abhängen und typischerweise von erfahrenen
    Experten übernommen werden. Da sich das Feld der Künstlichen Intelligenz (KI)
    immer weiterentwickelt und seinen Weg in den Fertigungssektor findet, gibt es
    viele Möglichkeiten für eine Anwendung von KI, um bei der Lösung der oben genannten
    Aufgaben zu helfen. In diesem Paper geben wir einen umfassenden Überblick über
    den aktuellen Stand der Technik des Einsatzes von KI in der PE. \r\nIm Detail
    analysieren wir 40 bestehende Surveys zu KI in der PE und 94 Case Studies, um
    herauszufinden, welche Bereiche der PE von der aktuellen Forschung in diesem Bereich
    vorrangig adressiert werden, wie ausgereift die diskutierten KI-Methoden sind
    und inwieweit datenzentrierte Ansätze in der aktuellen Forschung genutzt werden."

  text: "Product Creation (PC) refers to the process of planning and developing a
    product as well as related services from the initial idea until manufacturing
    and distribution. Throughout this process, there are numerous tasks that depend
    on human expertise and are typically undertaken by experienced practitioners.
    As the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to evolve and finds its
    way into the manufacturing sector, there exist many possibilities for an application
    of AI in order to assist in solving aforementioned tasks. In this work, we provide
    a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art of the use of AI in PC.
    \r\nIn detail, we analyze 40 existing surveys on AI in PC and 94 case studies
    in order to find out which areas of PC are primarily addressed by current research
    in this field, how mature the discussed AI methods are, and to which extent data-centric
    approaches are utilized in current research."
