T1  - CollaborationBus: An Editor for the Easy Configuration of Complex Ubiquitous Environment
N2  - Early sensor-based infrastructures were often developed by experts with a thorough knowledge of base technology for sensing information, for processing the captured data, and for adapting the system’s behaviour accordingly. In this paper we argue that also end-users should be able to configure Ubiquitous Computing environments. We introduce the CollaborationBus application: a graphical editor that provides abstractions from base technology and thereby allows multifarious users to configure Ubiquitous Computing environments. By composing pipelines users can easily specify the information flows from selected sensors via optional filters for processing the sensor data to actuators changing the system behaviour according to the users’ wishes. Users can compose pipelines for both home and work environments. An integrated sharing mechanism allows them to share their own compositions, and to reuse and build upon others’ compositions. Real-time visualisations help them understand how the information flows through their pipelines. In this paper we present the concept, implementation, and early user feedback of the CollaborationBus application.

T1  - Verbunddokumente als Nutzeroberfläche von Software für die Tragwerksplanung
T1  - Compound Documents as User Interface of Software for Structural Engineering
N2  - Das Ziel der Arbeit besteht in der Entwicklung von Konzepten zur effizienten Implementierung von ingenieurgemäßer Tragwerksplanungs-Software. Der vorgeschlagene Lösungsansatz basiert auf einer optimalen Anpassung der Nutzeroberfläche an den spezifischen Arbeitsablauf, der Erhöhung des Wiederverwendungsgrades sowie der Möglichkeit der unabhängigen Erweiterbarkeit von Software-Systemen. Verbunddokumente werden als Nutzeroberfläche und Software-Architektur benutzt, um eine Zusammenführung von Standard-Software und fachspezifischen Software-Komponenten zu ingenieurgemäßer Tragwerksplanungs-Software zu ermöglichen. Die Umsetzbarkeit des Konzeptes wird durch eine Pilotimplementierung verifiziert.
N2  - Objective of this work is the development of concepts for an efficient implementation of ergonomic software for structural engineering. The proposed solution is based on optimal adaption of the user interface to the specific workflow, increased software reuse and independently extensible software systems. Compound documents are utilized as user interface and software architecture, allowing the assembly of off-the-shelf software and domain specific software components to user friendly software for structural engineering. The applicability of the concepts is verified by the realization of a prototype.
