We present stereo matching solutions based on a fast cost-volume filtering approach for High Dynamic Range (HDR) scenes. Multi-exposed stereo images are captured and used to generate HDR and Tone Mapped (TM) images of the left and right views. We perform stereo matching on conventional, Low Dynamic Range (LDR) images, original HDR, as well as TM images by customizing the matching algorithm for each of them. An evaluation on the disparity maps computed from the different approaches demonstrates that stereo matching on HDR images outperforms conventional LDR stereo matching and TM stereo matching, with the most discriminative disparity maps achieved by using HDR color information and log-luminance gradient values for matching cost calculation.

In this paper we propose an optimized semiautomatic approach for efficient 2D-to-3D video conversion. It is based on a conversion algorithm that leverages segmentation and filtering techniques to propagate sparse depth information that was provided by a user. Our GPU acceleration of in the work of Brosch et al. (2011) significantly reduces the computation time of the original algorithm. Since the limited capacity of the CPU's onboard memory hinders the parallel execution of large data such as videos, we additionally propose a temporally coherent clip-based 2D-to-3D conversion approach for long videos. Evaluations show that the proposed, optimized conversion approach is capable of generating high-quality results, while significantly reducing the execution time compared to the original, un-optimized approach.

Often, there is a lack of efficient procedures in order to identify design errors when transforming customer requirements into servic-oriented solution. A well-established approach supporting this kind of transformation in classical requirements engineering is the traceability matrix which allows tracing the coverage of customer requirements by system components in general, or services in particular. The matrix shows which services realize which customer requirements. However, the matrix does not show the relevance of a service in order to meet a certain quality aspect (e.g. Security, usability, maintainability, etc.). Since this information is not explicitly covered, it is the system designer who has to keep this knowledge in mind when designing an appropriate set of services that build the overall system. Unfortunately, stakeholders not involved in the design decisions, e.g. Customers, Project managers and developers, have a hard time to understand the significance of the coverage of customer requirements by services in order to meet desired quality aspects. This may cause misinterpretations especially in the early stages of the service system development life-cycle. In this paper, we present a heuristic-based approach to continually monitor and control design decisions and their effects on certain quality aspects. This approach extends the traceability matrix by a weighted decision-matrix.

We present results from questionnaire data that were collected from leading data analytics experts in Austria. The online survey addresses very current and pressing questions in the area of (big) data analysis. Our findings provide valuable insights about what top Austrian data scientists think about data analytics, what they consider as important application areas that can benefit from big data and data processing, the challenges of the future and how soon these challenges will become important, and the potential research topics of tomorrow. We visualize results, summarize our findings and suggest a possible roadmap for future decision making.

In recent years, enterprises and emergency response teams have started to use user-generated content to monitor crises, events and trends. Especially in critical situations, decision makers must, above all, quickly assess huge amounts of data. E?ective geographical visualization and aggregation of collected data is an important prerequisite to enable decision makers to infer the impact of a detected event on, for example, their supply chains and other physical establishments. However, in existing literature the aspect of geographical visualization of automatically analysed events is hardly addressed. In this paper, we propose to introduce hierarchical levels of detail, a concept from Geographic Information systems, for the visualization of user-generated data describing a local event. We developed a tool which can improve the assessment of regional impacts by o?ering the possibility to browse and visualize results on layers aggregating data along individually defined hierarchical dimensions, e.g. geographical or political districts.

The evaluation of an organization's performance may also consider the assessment of inter-organizational relationships (IORs). However, the evaluation of IORs is typically based on success factors, such as trust, which are difficult to be measured quantitatively. In this paper, we present a framework supporting inter-organizational performance evaluation which integrates (i) a bottom-up approach supporting the identification of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) from business information, event logs, as well as process models, and (ii) a top-down approach for measuring business performance on the strategic level based on the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) method. In order to prove the feasibility of the framework, we present an inter-organizational performance analysis case study of a beverage manufacturing company. The case study shows that the framework enables (i) the derivation of quantifiable KPIs from operational data and (ii) the alignment of KPIs with business objectives allowing an evaluation of IORs on the strategic level.

Large systems engineering projects involve the cooperation of various stakeholders from different engineering disciplines. Individual stakeholders apply various tools and related data storage approaches that (a) might hinder seamless interoperability and (b) include limited capability to support data versioning. Project-level concepts enable the mapping of engineering data coming from different disciplines. However, it remains open how to store data on project level that enable flexible and efficient data access from different disciplines in different environments and enable backtracking to previous versions in case of defects and/or human errors. While semantic data integration provides fundamental solutions for bridging semantic gaps between common project-level concepts and the local tool concepts used by each discipline, semantic storages have been developed to query and reason over gathered data rather than versioning frequent instance changes inherent to such engineering projects in distributed and heterogeneous environments. In this paper we evaluate three software architectures using ontologies in different ways and compare selected quality attributes, i.e., performance and scalability, in the context of an industrial scenarios. Main results suggest that architectures relying on a relational database for versioning individuals still outperforms traditional ontology storages.
