20 Jahre, mehrere Hundert Protagonistinnen und Protagonisten aus aller Welt, von New York über Mumbai bis Kairo: Vielstimmig werden die Geschichte und die Gedankengänge der ›Karlsruher Gespräche‹ in dieser Sonderpublikation vergegenwärtigt. Die Veranstaltungsreihe verbindet Lokalität und Globalität, Theorie und Praxis, Wissenschaft und Kunst, Kultur und Gesellschaft. Sie bildet ein Forum für eine Vielfalt an Persönlichkeiten, für Kontroversen und für Synthesen. 20 years, several hundred protagonists from all around the world, from New York to Mumbai to Cairo: the history and ideas of the ‹Karlsruhe Dialogues› are presented in many different voices in this special publication. The event series combines locality and globality, theory and practice, science and art, culture and society. It creates a forum for a diverse range of personalities, for controversies and for syntheses.

We present a novel performance modeling approach tailored to I/O performance prediction in virtualized environments. The main idea is to identify important performance-influencing factors and to develop storage-level I/O performance models. To increase the practical applicability of these models, we combine the low-level I/O performance models with high-level software architecture models. Our approach is validated in a variety of case studies in state-of-the-art, real-world environments.

Die vorliegende Arbeit beschreibt ein Lademanagement mit eingebetteter Ladeoptimierung für Elektrofahrzeuge, das ein Flottenbetreiber einer Flotte bzw. ein Ladeinfrastrukturbetreiber einer Gruppe von Privatkunden zur Verfügung stellt. Ziel der Ladeoptimierung ist die gegen den Strompreis sowie feste Lastgrenzen optimierte Berechnung der Ladepläne bei gleichzeitiger Berücksichtigung der Nutzeranforderungen. Diese Ladeoptimierung wird im Rahmen dieser Arbeit konzipiert und implementiert. The present work describes a charging management with integrated charging optimization for electric vehicles that can be provided to a fleet by a fleet operator or to a group of private customers by a loading infrastructure operator. Aim of this charging optimization is the calculation of an optimized charging plan by considering the electricity price as well as hard capacity boundaries and user requirements. This charging optimization is designed and implemented within the scope of this work.

Die industrielle Produktentwicklung fußt auf der Zusammenarbeit verschiedener Fachbereiche. Eine integrierte Darstellung von fachlichen Modellen macht Abhängigkeiten zwischen den Fachbereichen sichtbar und gibt Abstimmungsprozessen eine anschauliche Grundlage. Dafür wird die räumliche Tiefe als Darstellungsmittel eingeführt. Modelle werden in einer 3D-Darstellung positioniert und die Abhängigkeiten sichtbar gemacht. Anhand dieser Darstellung wird die übergreifende Kommunikation gefördert. Industrial product development requires close collaboration between experts of several disciplines. Misunderstandings and discussions are inevitable. An integrated visualization of discipline specific conceptual models can foster agreement between experts. This work introduces a three dimensional visualization for integrated conceptual models. Models are arranged in a common 3-D information space. Dependencies are visible and provide a means for interdisciplinary problem solving.

Nuclear fusion is a key technology to satisfy the basic demand for electric energy sustainably. The official EUROfusion schedule foresees a first industrial DEMOnstration Fusion Power Plant for 2050. In this work several high temperature superconductor sub-size cables are investigated for their applicability in large scale DEMO toroidal field coils. Main focus lies on the electromechanical stability under the influence of high Lorentz forces at peak magnetic fields of up to 12 T.

Atmospheric processes, such as wind, impact the ground motion of the earth and have the potential to induce strong broad-band noise in seismological records. In order to quantify the influence of wind on ground motion velocity joint seismological and meteorological measurements were conducted at the Dead Sea.Results reveal a pronounced impact of wind on seismological records. A methodology is presented to account for the dependency of PSD of ground motion velocity on the horizontal wind field.

The first volume of Archives of Data Science, Series A is a special issue of a selection of contributions which have been originally presented at the {em 3rd Bilateral German-Polish Symposium on Data Analysis and Its Applications} (GPSDAA 2013). All selected papers fit into the emerging field of data science consisting of the mathematical sciences (computer science, mathematics, operations research, and statistics) and an application domain (e.g. marketing, biology, economics, engineering).

The utilization of thermodynamic and mobility data plays a major role in phase-field modeling. This work discusses different formulations for the thermodynamic quantities of a grand potential model along with practices to determine parameters from datasets. The framework is used to study solidification of Al-Si-Mg for a variation of composition, diffusivities and surface energy anisotropies. To verify the simulations, they are compared with solidification theories.

This book provides insight into the project 'OUI Biomasse' by summarising selected results. The major goal was the development of a knowledge-based sustainable biomass strategy for the transition of the energy system of the Upper Rhine Region. The 'OUI Biomasse' network studied all aspects of the biomass value chain to come up with development scenarios, analyse their potential impact in terms of sustainability criteria and to draft guidelines for the sustainable use of biomass.
