Several research tools and projects require groups of similar code changes as input. Examples are recommendation and bug finding tools that can provide valuable information to developers based on such data. With the help of similar code changes they can simplify the application of bug fixes and code changes to multiple locations in a project. But despite their benefit, the practical value of existing tools is limited, as users need to manually specify the input data, i.e., the groups of similar code changes. To overcome this drawback, this paper presents and evaluates two syntactical similarity metrics, one of them is specifically designed to run fast, in combination with two carefully selected and self-tuning clustering algorithms to automatically detect groups of similar code changes. We evaluate the combinations of metrics and clustering algorithms by applying them to several open source projects and also publish the detected groups of similar code changes online as a reference dataset. The automatically detected groups of similar code changes work well when used as input for LASE, a recommendation system for code changes.

Localization of wireless nodes within the IoT received much attention lately. However, strong constraints on power consumption, scalability, and complexity of the nodes pose a big challenge for localization techniques. This paper presents a concept for energy-efficient low-complexity localization based on Phase Difference of Arrival (PDoA). Besides a novel method for reference transmitter selection we propose a waveform, well-suited for PDoA measurements, and evaluate its ranging performance. We compare multiple signal classification (MUSIC), linear fitting, and mean phase difference and compare their estimation variance to the Cramer Rao Lower Bound (CRLB). Our system concept allows for the mitigation of near-far effects for reference and tag signals at the receiver nodes, and an efficient implementation of a wideband frequency hopping scheme.

Coping with evolution in automated production systems implies cross-disciplinary challenges along the system's life-cycle for variant-rich systems of high complexity. We provide an interdisciplinary survey on challenges and research directions in the evolution of automated production systems. After an initial discussion about the nature of automated production systems and their specific development process, we sketch in this extended abstract the challenges associated with evolution in the different development phases and a couple of cross-cutting areas.

When using today's admission control systems some kind of interaction is generally required. That is because the system needs something to check a person's identity before it allows access. Often the system will ask for a pin or a password. For many people these interactions are a problem as they might be unable interact with the system in the required way due to impairments. This can be caused by a disease such as Parkinson's or Alzheimer's or they might be unable to use their hands for other reasons. In hospitals, retirement homes or assisted living communities many people would benefit from a contactless admission control system. We propose a system that recognizes human identities from continuous geometrical features that were estimated using the Kinect 2. Those include the distance between the eyes and the estimated height of a person. A Bayesian Classifier for continuous features is used to predict people's identities. The preliminary recognition results suggest that the proposed geometrical features can contribute to reliable admission control. This work was supported by SysTeam GmbH Dortmund, Germany.
