TY - THES A1 - Anders, Milena T1 - Alternative Landwirtschaft - Wo kommt unser Essen her? N2 - In den letzten 1.5 Jahren haben wir sehr deutlich gemerkt, dass es den Klimawandel wirklich gibt - ein Virus, welches unsere gesamte Welt auf links dreht, Überschwemmungskatastrophen, extreme Temperaturschwankungen, etc. Es ist also Zeit etwas zu verändern, es ist Zeit aktiv hinzusehen und zu handeln - bewusst zu leben, bewusst zu konsumieren. Das Thema Ernährung wird zwar immer wichtiger für einige von uns, jedoch reicht mir die Aufmerksamkeit bisher nicht. Es sind nicht nur Lebensmittel, welche nach dem Aufenthalt im Supermarkt in unserem Kühlschrank und anschließend in unserem Bauch landen. Mit diesen Lebensmitteln gehen außerdem folgende Aspekte einher: der Klimawandel, unsere Gesundheit, die Ausbeutung von Tieren, Menschen und Natur. Also wie sieht eigentlich der Enstehungsprozess hinter all diesen (meist) verpackten Lebensmitteln aus? Einen Teil dieser Prozesse habe ich mir im Rahmen meiner Bachelorarbeit angeschaut. Ich habe ausschließlich Bio-Höfe besucht, um mir ein eigenes Bild von "alternativer Landwirtschaft" zu machen. Die Arbeit ermöglicht Interessierten einen neutralen Einblick hinter die Kulisse unserer Lebensmittel und schafft eine Anregung für einen bewussteren Konsum.

T2 - Wirtschaftsinformatik 2022 Proceedings N2 - Digital twins enable the modeling and simulation of real-world entities (objects, processes or systems), resulting in improvements in the associated value chains. The emerging field of quantum computing holds tremendous promise forevolving this virtualization towards Quantum (Digital) Twins (QDT) and ultimately Quantum Twins (QT). The quantum (digital) twin concept is not a contradiction in terms - but instead describes a hybrid approach that can be implemented using the technologies available today by combining classicalcomputing and digital twin concepts with quantum processing. This paperpresents the status quo of research and practice on quantum (digital) twins. It alsodiscuses their potential to create competitive advantage through real-timesimulation of highly complex, interconnected entities that helps companies better address changes in their environment and differentiate their products andservices.

To design such state-of-the-art systems, the consideration of energy efficiency and the anticipation of component failures are mandatory. In this paper, we use Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Programming to compute an optimal placement of pipes and pumps, as well as an optimal control strategy.Moreover, we consider the resilience of the system to pump failures. A resilient system is able to fulfill a predefined minimum functionality even though components fail or are restricted in their normal usage. We present models to measure and optimize the resilience. To demonstrate our approach, we design and analyze an optimal resilient decentralized water supply system inspired by a real-life hotel building.

A1 - Schmitt, Andreas A1 - Wendt, Janine T1 - On obligations in the development process of resilient systems with algorithmic design methods JF - Applied Mechanics and Materials N2 - Advanced computational methods are needed both for the design of large systems and to compute high accuracy solutions. Such methods are efficient in computation, but the validation of results is very complex, and highly skilled auditors are needed to verify them. We investigate legal questions concerning obligations in the development phase, especially for technical systems developed using advanced methods. In particular, we consider methods of resilient and robust optimization. With these techniques, high performance solutions can be found, despite a high variety of input parameters. However, given the novelty of these methods, it is uncertain whether legal obligations are being met. The aim of this paper is to discuss if and how the choice of a specific computational method affects the developer’s product liability. The review of legal obligations in this paper is based on German law and focuses on the requirements that must be met during the design and development process.

T1 - Algorithmic system design using scaling and affinity laws T2 - Operations Research Proceedings 2015 N2 - Energy-efficient components do not automatically lead to energy-efficient systems. Technical Operations Research (TOR) shifts the focus from the single component to the system as a whole and finds its optimal topology and operating strategy simultaneously. In previous works, we provided a preselected construction kit of suitable components for the algorithm. This approach may give rise to a combinatorial explosion if the preselection cannot be cut down to a reasonable number by human intuition. To reduce the number of discrete decisions, we integrate laws derived from similarity theory into the optimization model. Since the physical characteristics of a production series are similar, it can be described by affinity and scaling laws. Making use of these laws, our construction kit can be modeled more efficiently: Instead of a preselection of components, it now encompasses whole model ranges. This allows us to significantly increase the number of possible set-ups in our model. In this paper, we present how to embed this new formulation into a mixed-integer program and assess the run time via benchmarks. We present our approach on the example of a ventilation system design problem.
