However, studies on organizational change show that the majority of transformations undertaken fail because they are characterized by a lack of clarity, overload and ineffective measures. This paper shows how a clear structure as a critical success factor can make the chaos and challenges of a transformation manageable.  The focus here is on a practice-oriented framework that divides a transformation into nine essential building blocks with activities that are critical to success. The structure of the framework is understood as a flexible organizing principle for a transformation without hindering creativity and dynamics. Case studies show the adaptability and applicability of the framework to different characteristics and dimensions of transformation. The transformation framework provides an operative structure and enables transformation managers for transparent orchestration and implementation of transformation.</jats:p>}},

For this reason, a maturity model for evaluating SE Transformation is developed, that builds on quantitative metrics and enables an overarching view on transformation considering cultural aspects. Literature-based criteria for evaluating SE Transformation lay the foundation for measures and referenced metrics and indicators. Due to its data-centricity, the model presented enables a more comprehensive, fact-based decision-making basis for the design and steering of SE Transformation programs.</jats:p>}},

	  <jats:p>The increasing prevalence of embedded software in today’s vehicles is leading to growing complexity, which can only be managed effectively through the use of reliable interdisciplinary engineering processes. With this in mind, systems engineering (SE) is currently being introduced on a large scale into the automotive industry. Pilot projects have demonstrated the potential for implementing changes, but these have not yet been accompanied by viable implementation concepts for SE. In the context of the proposed application-based research, the SETup automotive method (<jats:bold>S</jats:bold>ystems <jats:bold>E</jats:bold>ngineering <jats:bold>T</jats:bold>ransformation <jats:bold>u</jats:bold>nder <jats:bold>p</jats:bold>iloting in the <jats:bold>automotive</jats:bold> industry) is presented, which comprises a step-by-step procedure of introducing SE into large automotive companies. By introducing SE by pilot projects first, both an in-process tailoring of all processes, methods, tools and structures (PMTS) required for the introduction and an in-process validation of the pilot scheme elaborated by the pilot projects are achieved. The presented method builds upon fundamental approaches to change management, which have been developed over many years in both research and practice. It has been validated by the industrial practice of SE transformation at German car manufacturers and suppliers. As a result, decision-makers, transformation managers and systems engineers are provided with a scientifically based and field-tested set of steps for the introduction of SE in their own company.</jats:p>}},

  abstract     = {{Academic publishing is both an indication of scientific contribution and a currency for career advancement. This dual role gives rise to a normative scientific conflict: Does the structural incentive to publish constitute a conflict of interest (COI) that ought to be disclosed? In this paper, we address this conflict through an action research approach, engaging collaboratively and reflexively to answer four related questions: (1) What evidence suggests that researchers face a (financial) COI when publishing? (2) What are the benefits and drawbacks of explicitly acknowledging that publications function as academic currency? (3) How should such conflicts be disclosed? (4) Do mechanisms such as pre-registration and registered reports resolve these concerns? This paper contends that while researchers are clearly incentivised to publish, this interest need not necessarily constitute a conflict or be explicitly disclosed. Treating this issue as a normative scientific conflict does reveal the need for a shift in how researchers understand and navigate the subjective, self-interested dimensions of their work. We propose four key responses: (1) integrating discussions of COIs and biases more extensively into undergraduate science education, (2) promoting greater reflexivity in everyday research practice (e.g., through reflexivity journals, peer-led audit groups, and the reintegration of discussions on the historicity and cultural nature of research into scientific publications), (3) critically investigating institutional incentives and journal policies, and (4) proactively adopting methodological safeguards such as pre-registration. By addressing this conflict through action research, we demonstrate how normative tensions in science can be made productive — supporting both critical reflection and structural improvement.}},

  abstract     = {{Diese Dissertation befasst sich mit der Entwicklung eines induktiv-basierten Lokalisierungsverfahrens mittels planarer Spulen, das auf magnetischer Kopplung beruht. Grundlage ist die elektromagnetische Induktion, bei der sich die entstehende Spannung proportional zur Gegeninduktivität verhält. Das Verfahren arbeitet im physikalischen Nahfeld und im Frequenzbereich von einigen kHz bis MHz, um eine effiziente Kopplung ohne Ausbreitung elektromagnetischer Wellen zu gewährleisten. Im Vergleich zu etablierten Verfahren wie GPS oder Ultraschall zeigt die induktive Ortung Vorteile bei kurzer Reichweite, insbesondere durch hohe Genauigkeit im Zentimeterbereich und geringe Materialabhängigkeit. Zudem lässt sie sich in bestehende Technologien wie bei der drahtlosen Energieübertragung integrieren und durch Sensorfusion mit anderen Verfahren kombinieren. Zur Modellierung und Optimierung werden physikalische Eigenschaften von planaren Spulen und EM-Feldern analysiert und elektrische Ersatzschaltbilder eingesetzt. Die geometriebasierte Berechnung der Gegeninduktivität ermöglicht die Entwicklung und Bewertung geeigneter Ortungsalgorithmen. Stochastische Filterverfahren verbessern zusätzlich die Robustheit gegenüber Umgebungseinflüssen. Abschließend wird eine modulare Simulationsplattform vorgestellt, die als Grundlage für die Generierung von Trainingsdaten sowie zur Weiterentwicklung von Mess-, Ortungs- und Filtermethoden dient.}},

Network compression, i.e., pruning and quantization, are thus of utmost importance. We propose a Compressed Reservoir Computing (CRC) framework that integrates advanced pruning and quantization techniques to optimize throughput, latency, energy efficiency, and resource utilization for FPGA- based RC accelerators.We describe the framework with a focus on HSIC LASSO as a novel pruning method that can capture non-linear dependencies between neurons. We validate our framework with time series classification and regression tasks, for which we generate FPGA accelerators. The accelerators achieve a very high throughput of up to 188 Megasamples/s with a latency of 5.32 ns, while reducing resource utilization by 12× and lowering the energy by 10× compared to a baseline hardware implementation, without compromising accuracy.</jats:p>}},

  abstract     = {{his article describes a new student-based approach to Decoding and Disrupting. This approach consists of an educational programme that works with a multidisciplinary group of undergraduate students, so-called Culture Fellows. In the programme, the students learn about theories on disciplinary cultures and their practices, Decoding the Disciplines, and communication. The programme focuses on the implicitness of disciplinary practices and how to explore them, i.e., it seeks to address the importance of making disciplinary practices, norms, and values more accessible to students. Within the programme, the Culture Fellows use a student-based variant of the Decoding the Disciplines Paradigm that we call ‘Culture Quest’. The Culture Quest supplies students with the tools to question, explore, and decode their respective disciplines and practices. Disciplinary practices often remain implicit because lecturers, with their wealth of experience and expertise in their discipline, may be operationally blind and thus no longer aware of the fact that certain practices might need to be explained. This lack of explanation or explicitness can lead to students feeling bewildered, confused or puzzled. The Culture Fellows and in particular the Culture Quest can encourage dialogue about and exploration of disciplinary cultures and their practices and can thus allow students to grasp the implicit cultural norms and expectations within their respective disciplines more clearly. The Culture Fellows and the Culture Quest provide students – and maybe even lecturers – with opportunities to engage with and reflect on teaching and learning strategies and practices.}},
