T1  - Sustainable changes beyond covid-19 for a second semester physics course for electrical engineering students
T2  - Blended Learning in Engineering Education: challenging, enlightening – and lasting?
N2  - The course Physics for Electrical Engineering is part of the curriculum of the
bachelor program Electrical Engineering at University of Applied Science Aachen.
Before covid-19 the course was conducted in a rather traditional way with all parts
(lecture, exercise and lab) face-to-face. This teaching approach changed
fundamentally within a week when the covid-19 limitations forced all courses to
distance learning. All parts of the course were transformed to pure distance learning
including synchronous and asynchronous parts for the lecture, live online-sessions
for the exercises and self-paced labs at home. Using these methods, the course was
able to impart the required knowledge and competencies. Taking the teacher’s
observations of the student’s learning behaviour and engagement, the formal and
informal feedback of the students and the results of the exams into account, the new
methods are evaluated with respect to effectiveness, sustainability and suitability for
competence transfer. Based on this analysis strong and weak points of the concept
and countermeasures to solve the weak points were identified. The analysis further
leads to a sustainable teaching approach combining synchronous and asynchronous
parts with self-paced learning times that can be used in a very flexible manner for
different learning scenarios, pure online, hybrid (mixture of online and presence
times) and pure presence teaching.

T1  - A SFCW harmonic radar system for maritime search and rescue using passive and active tags
JF  - International Journal of Microwave and Wireless Technologies
N2  - This paper introduces a new maritime search and rescue system based on S-band illumination harmonic radar (HR). Passive and active tags have been developed and tested while attached to life jackets and a small boat. In this demonstration test carried out on the Baltic Sea, the system was able to detect and range the active tags up to a distance of 5800 m using an illumination signal transmit-power of 100 W. Special attention is given to the development, performance, and conceptual differences between passive and active tags used in the system. Guidelines for achieving a high HR dynamic range, including a system components description, are given and a comparison with other HR systems is performed. System integration with a commercial maritime X-band navigation radar is shown to demonstrate a solution for rapid search and rescue response and quick localization.

T1  - CO2 Meter: a do-it-yourself carbon dioxide measuring device for the classroom
T2  - PETRA 2021: The 14th PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments Conference
N2  - In this paper we report on CO2 Meter, a do-it-yourself carbon dioxide measuring device for the classroom. Part of the current measures for dealing with the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is proper ventilation in indoor settings. This is especially important in schools with students coming back to the classroom even with high incidents rates. Static ventilation patterns do not consider the individual situation for a particular class. Influencing factors like the type of activity, the physical structure or the room occupancy are not incorporated. Also, existing devices are rather expensive and often provide only limited information and only locally without any networking. This leaves the potential of analysing the situation across different settings untapped. Carbon dioxide level can be used as an indicator of air quality, in general, and of aerosol load in particular. Since, according to the latest findings, SARS-CoV-2 can be transmitted primarily in the form of aerosols, carbon dioxide may be used as a proxy for the risk of a virus infection. Hence, schools could improve the indoor air quality and potentially reduce the infection risk if they actually had measuring devices available in the classroom. Our device supports schools in ventilation and it allows for collecting data over the Internet to enable a detailed data analysis and model generation. First deployments in schools at different levels were received very positively. A pilot installation with a larger data collection and analysis is underway.

T1  - Enabling digital transformation through cognitive robotic process automation at Deutsche Telekom Services Europe
T2  - Digitalization Cases Vol. 2 :  Mastering digital transformation for global business
N2  - Subject of this case is Deutsche Telekom Services Europe (DTSE), a service center for administrative processes. Due to the high volume of repetitive tasks (e.g., 100k manual uploads of offer documents into SAP per year), automation was identified as an important strategic target with a high management attention and commitment. DTSE has to work with various backend application systems without any possibility to change those systems. Furthermore, the complexity of administrative processes differed. When it comes to the transfer of unstructured data (e.g., offer documents) to structured data (e.g., MS Excel files), further cognitive technologies were needed.

T1  - Robotic process automation :  Positioning, structuring, and framing the work
T2  - Robotic process automation : Management, technology, applications
N2  - Robotic process automation (RPA) has attracted increasing attention in research and practice. This chapter positions, structures, and frames the topic as an introduction to this book. RPA is understood as a broad concept that comprises a variety of concrete solutions. From a management perspective RPA offers an innovative approach for realizing automation potentials, whereas from a technical perspective the implementation based on software products and the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are relevant. RPA is industry-independent and can be used, for example, in finance, telecommunications, and the public sector. With respect to RPA this chapter discusses definitions, related approaches, a structuring framework, a research framework, and an inside as well as outside architectural view. Furthermore, it provides an overview of the book combined with short summaries of each chapter.

T1  - Liability for loss or damages caused by RPA
T2  - Robotic process automation : Management, technology, applications
N2  - Intelligent autonomous software robots replacing human activities and performing administrative processes are reality in today’s corporate world. This includes, for example, decisions about invoice payments, identification of customers for a marketing campaign, and answering customer complaints. What happens if such a software robot causes a damage? Due to the complete absence of human activities, the question is not trivial. It could even happen that no one is liable for a damage towards a third party, which could create an uncalculatable legal risk for business partners. Furthermore, the implementation and operation of those software robots involves various stakeholders, which result in the unsolvable endeavor of identifying the originator of a damage. Overall it is advisable to all involved parties to carefully consider the legal situation. This chapter discusses the liability of software robots from an interdisciplinary perspective. Based on different technical scenarios the legal aspects of liability are discussed.
