  abstract  = {This cumulative dissertation discusses - by the example of four subsequent publications - the various layers of a tangible interaction framework, which has been developed in conjunction with an electronic musical instrument with a tabletop tangible user interface. Based on the experiences that have been collected during the design and implementation of that particular musical application, this research mainly concentrates on the definition of a general-purpose abstraction model for the encapsulation of physical interface components that are commonly employed in the context of an interactive surface environment. Along with a detailed description of the underlying abstraction model, this dissertation also describes an actual implementation in the form of a detailed protocol syntax, which constitutes the common element of a distributed architecture for the construction of surface-based tangible user interfaces. The initial implementation of the presented abstraction model within an actual application toolkit is comprised of the TUIO protocol and the related computer-vision based object and multi-touch tracking software reacTIVision, along with its principal application within the Reactable synthesizer. The dissertation concludes with an evaluation and extension of the initial TUIO model, by presenting TUIO2 - a next generation abstraction model designed for a more comprehensive range of tangible interaction platforms and related application scenarios.},

  abstract  = {Zur effizienten Nutzung von Office- und Computeralgebra-Software im Sinne einer Engineering Desktop Umgebung wurde ein Framework f{\"u}r die Tragwerksplanung entwickelt. Dieses umfasst Klassen und Methoden zur Schnittgr{\"o}ßenermittlung von Durchlauftr{\"a}gern, Fachwerken und ebener Stabwerke sowie f{\"u}r Nachweise und Bemessungsaufgaben im Stahlbeton-, Stahl- und Holzbau. Die Anwendung des Frameworks im Rahmen einer Office-Software beruht auf der Komponententechnologie. Im Rahmen von MS-Windows handelt es sich um das COM-Modell. Die Komponentenbibliothek des Frameworks wurde in JAVA implementiert. Die Nutzeroberfl{\"a}che kann aus Berechnungssoftware wie Excel und Mathcad bestehen. Aber auch die Entwicklung von Tragwerkseditoren oder internetbasierender Software ist damit m{\"o}glich. Anwendungen des Frameworks wurden in MS-Excel mit VBA und in Mathcad mit der C++Schnittstelle realisiert. Ziel dieser Entwicklung ist eine Engineering Desktop Umgebung auf dem Computer, bei der nichtstandardisierbare Untersuchungen in der Tragwerksplanung ebenso einfach, aber effizienter, sicherer und besser dokumentiert als mit Bleistift und Papier erfolgen k{\"o}nnen. Zwei Beispiele verdeutlichen die Anwendung des Frameworks. Hierbei handelt es sich einmal um eine statische Voruntersuchung mit Mathcad, bei der die mit dem Framework entwickelten Funktionen verwendet werden. Das zweite Beispiel behandelt die Erstellung eines Teachtools in MS-Excel.},

  abstract  = {Information science researchers and developers have spent many years addressing the problem of retrieving the exact information needed and using it for analysis purposes. In informationseeking dialogues, the user, i.e. construction project manager or supplier, often asks questions about specific aspects of the tasks they want to perform. But most of the time it is difficult for the software systems to unambiguously understand their overall intentions. The existence of information tunnels (Tannenbaum 2002) aggravates this phenomenon. This study includes a detailed case study of the material management process in the construction industry. Based on this case study, the structure of a formal user model for information retrieval in construction management is proposed. This prototype user model will be incorporated into the system design for construction information management and retrieval. This information retrieval system is a user-centered product based on the development of a user configurable visitor mechanism for managing and retrieving project information without worrying too much about the underlying data structure of the database system. An executable UML model combined with OODB is used to reduce the ambiguity in the user's intentions and to achieve user satisfaction.},

  abstract  = {The design of mobile IT systems, especially the design of wearable computer systems, is a complex task that requires computer science knowledge, such as that related to hardware configuration and software development, in addition to knowledge of the domain in which the system is intended to be used. Particularly in the AEC sector, it is necessary that the support from mobile information technology fit the work situation at hand. Ideally, the domain expert alone can adjust the wearable computer system to achieve this fit without having to consult IT experts. In this paper, we describe a model that helps in transferring existing design knowledge from non-AEC domains to new projects in the construction area. The base for this is a model and a methodology that describes the usage scenarios of said computer systems in an application-neutral and domain-independent way. Thus, the actual design information and experience will be transferable between different applications and domains.},
