Current research focusses on daily price movements with a limited number of predictors. The paper at hand aims at identifying measurable indicators for Bitcoin price movements and the development of a suitable forecasting model for hourly changes. The paper provides three research contributions. First, a set of significant indicators for predicting the Bitcoin price is identified. Second, the results of a trained Long Short-term Memory (LSTM) neural network that predicts price changes on an hourly basis is presented and compared with other algorithms. Third, the results foster discussions of the applicability of neural nets for stock price predictions. In total, 47 input features for a period of over 10 months could be retrieved to train a neural net that predicts the Bitcoin price movements with an error rate of 3.52 \%.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{FerreinSchifferKallweit2018, author = {Ferrein, Alexander and Schiffer, Stefan and Kallweit, Stephan}, title = {The ROSIN Education Concept - Fostering ROS Industrial-Related Robotics Education in Europe}, series = {ROBOT 2017: Third Iberian Robotics Conference}, booktitle = {ROBOT 2017: Third Iberian Robotics Conference}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-319-70836-2}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-319-70836-2_31}, pages = {370 -- 381}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{FrotscherRaatschenStaat2012, author = {Frotscher, Ralf and Raatschen, Hans-J{\"u}rgen and Staat, Manfred}, title = {Effectiveness of the edge-based smoothed finite element method applied to soft biological tissues}, series = {ESMC-2012 - 8th European Solid Mechanics Conference, Graz, Austria, July 9-13, 2012}, booktitle = {ESMC-2012 - 8th European Solid Mechanics Conference, Graz, Austria, July 9-13, 2012}, editor = {Holzapfel, Gerhard A.}, publisher = {Verlag d.

Self-driving cars have to take decisions based on their sensory input in real-time, providing high reliability with a strong demand in functional safety. In principle, self-driving cars are robots. However, typical robot software, in general, and the previous version of the Robot Operating System (ROS), in particular, does not always meet these requirements. With the successor ROS2 the situation has changed and it might be considered as a solution for automated and autonomous driving. Existing robotic software based on ROS was not ready for safety critical applications like self-driving cars. We propose an architecture for using ROS2 for a self-driving car that enables safe and reliable real-time behaviour, but keeping the advantages of ROS such as a distributed architecture and standardised message types. First experiments with an automated real passenger car at lower and higher speed-levels show that our approach seems feasible for autonomous driving under the necessary real-time conditions.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{TranTranMatthiesetal.2016, author = {Tran, Ngoc Trinh and Tran, Thanh Ngoc and Matthies, Hermann G. and Stavroulakis, Georgios Eleftherios and Staat, Manfred}, title = {FEM Shakedown of uncertain structures by chance constrained programming}, series = {PAMM Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics}, volume = {16}, booktitle = {PAMM Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics}, number = {1}, issn = {1617-7061}, doi = {10.1002/pamm.201610346}, pages = {715 -- 716}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{ArtmannDigelLinderetal.2011, author = {Artmann, Gerhard and Digel, Ilya and Linder, Peter and Temiz Artmann, Ayseg{\"u}l}, title = {Biophysical and Engineering Contributions to Plant Research}, year = {2011}, abstract = {Tests with palm tree leaves have just started yet and scan data are in the process to be analyzed.

Based on the idea of averaging spatially the standard strain field of the FEM over so-called smoothing domains SFEM calculates the stiffness matrix for the same number of degrees of freedom (DOFs) as those of the FEM. However, the SFEMs significantly improve accuracy and convergence even for distorted meshes and/or nearly incompressible materials. Numerical results of the SFEMs for a cardiac tissue membrane (thin plate inflation) and an artery (tension of 3D tube) show clearly their advantageous properties in improving accuracy particularly for the distorted meshes and avoiding shear locking effects.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{PlatenPoghossianSchoening2006, author = {Platen, J. and Poghossian, Arshak and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Pr{\"a}paration von selbstjustierenden Nanostrukturen mittels Schichtausdehnungstechnik}, series = {Sensoren und Mess-Systeme 2006 : Vortr{\"a}ge der 13.

This paper presents two possible control concepts for the startup of the charging system of such a facility. The procedures are implemented in a detailed dynamic process model. The performance and safety regarding the film temperatures at heat transmitting surfaces are investigated in the process simulations. To improve the accuracy in predicting the film temperatures, CFD simulations of the electrical heater are carried out and the results are merged with the dynamic model. The results show that both investigated control concepts are safe regarding the temperature limits. The gradient controlled startup performed better than the temperature-controlled startup.
