      combination of very distinct areas. On the one hand, applications from area of
      measurement engineering manage sensors that capture data and annotate the data
      with technical meta data. On the other hand, context-aware workflows from the
      BPM area place high level requirements for the quality of context data that is
      derived from the sensor data. Between those two areas exists a gap that has to
      be closed by a context management and mediation system, supporting the handling
      of Quality of Context (QoC). To achieve this the paper presents an QoC aware
      architecture based on an extension of the existing Nexus Platform and a first
      approach for matching the workflow requirements with the sensor annotations.},

   abstract = {The study of bifurcations in a piecewise-smooth system is quite different from
      those occurring in smooth systems. In piecewise-linear systems, which we are
      considering in this paper, mainly border collision bifurcations (BCBs) and
      contact bifurcations occur. It is classified as border-collision any contact
      between an invariant set of a map with the border of its region of definition,
      and this may, or may not, produce a bifurcation. The term border-collision
      bifurcation was introduced for the first time by Nusse and Yorke in 1992 and is
      now widely used in this context (i.e. for piecewise smooth maps). Recently,
      these bifurcations have been studied mainly because of their relevant
      applications in engineering (electrical and mechanical), and also in economics
      and social sciences. In fact, several publications were motivated by models
      describing particular circuits or models for the transmission of signals.
      Remarkably also before the work by Nusse and Yorke the bifurcations associated
      with piecewise smooth maps were studied in some publications (although the
      bifurcations were not called border-collision bifurcations). We recall, for
      example, the works by Mira (1978) and others. We may also go further back,
      citing the work by Leonov in the end of 50th. In his work, Leonov described
      several bifurcations, giving a recurrence relation to find the analytic
      expressions of families of bifurcations occurring in a one-dimensional
      piecewise linear map with one point of discontinuity, which is still mainly
      unknown. The object of this work is to give a new interpretation and
      improvements of some of his results.},

      heretofore unexplained bifurcation structure in an extended region in parameter
      space, which superficially resembles period adding. This work explains the

   abstract = {Situation Recognition based on audio signals can be used to determine
      situations in a meeting room while protecting the privacy by recording and
      analyzing only the noise level instead of the complete audio signal.
      
      A reliable situation recognition is normally obtained using Bayesian networks
      which do not only rely on context information itself but additionally on
      corresponding probabilities. Especially when the situation recognition itself
      should output a quality rating to the determined situation it is necessary that
      each analyzed information about all preconditions is rated with qualities or
      probabilities. This leads to the need of a conversion from uncertainty to
      probabilities when using sensor data to observe the environment to recognize
      situations.
      
      In this paper we compare different methods for situation recognition based on
      noise level measurements. We implemented a Multilayer Perceptron Neural
      Network, a simple empiric method and we describe the advantages of our method
      based on multinomial logistic regression which we adapted to a reliable and
      easily configurable situation recognition based on sensor data. To evaluate the
      methods we distinguished between the situations {\^a}€śmeeting{\^a}€ť, {\^a}€śwork{\^a}€ť and
      {\^a}€śsilence{\^a}€ť and recorded thousands of noise levels to calibrate and compare
      the different methods against each other.
      
      Our approach using logistic regression can be used as situation recognition
      based on sensor data. It is not necessary that the input information contains
      quality ratings but the system has to be calibrated with sensor data that can
      be assigned to all the situations that have to be distinguished. Since the
      result of this method contains probabilities to all situations it can also be
      used to analyze sensor data related to single preconditions of complex
      situation recognition algorithms based on Bayesian networks and different types
      of context information.},

   abstract = {Agents acting in physical space use perception in combination with their own
      world models and shared context models to orient. The shared context models
      have to be adapted permanently to the conditions of the real world in dynamic
      environments. If a measurement of an agent's sensor does not fit to the
      corresponding data in the shared context model we get an inconsistency. In this
      case it is necessary to decide whether the reason for the discrepancy is a
      change in the real world or a measurement error. If there is a change in the
      real world the shared context model has to be corrected. If the measurement is
      erroneous it could be necessary to check the sensor. A single agent can hardly
      answer this question using it's local world model. Extensive knowledge about
      the represented world and the utilized sensors would be necessary. In this work
      we examine the scenario of a context model that is shared with and updated by
      many agents. In occurrence of an inconsistency it is possible to call other
      agents to validate a measurement. The functions to call the other agents are
      provided by the Nexus platform, a federation of systems that manages users and
      objects in shared dynamic context models, integrates web technologies and
      interfaces to the world wide web. We describe and evaluate procedures that
      combine a multitude of measurements to a single result that can be integrated
      in the shared context model. We enhanced the statistically optimized procedure
      based on ratings of the participating agents. The procedure is altered so that
      the system can recover from running into singularities caused by the feedback
      from the ratings. In addition we describe a preprocessing based on fuzzy
      clustering that detects aberrant measurements which are excluded from further
      processing.},

   abstract = {Bifurcation structures in two-dimensional parameter spaces formed by chaotic
      attractors alone are still far away from being understood completely. In a
      series of three papers, we investigate the chaotic domain without periodic
      inclusions for a map, which is considered by many authors as some kind of
      one-dimensional canonical form for discontinuous maps. In part I, the basic
      structures in the chaotic region are explained by the bandcount increment
      scenario. In part II, the fine self-similar sub-structures nested into the
      bandcount increment scenario are explained by the bandcount adding and
      bandcount doubling scenarios, nested into each other ad infinitum. Hereby we
      fixed in both previous parts one of the parameters to a non-generic value and
      studied the remaining two-dimensional parameter sub-space. In this part III
      finally we investigate the structures under variation of this third parameter.
      Remarkably, this step is most important with respect to practical applications,
      since it can not be expected, that they operate exactly at this non-generic
      value.},
