Final Thesis: A Handbook for InnerSource Contribution Functions

Abstract: InnerSource refers to the adoption of open source-like practices and culture within the confines of an organization. As interest in InnerSource practices and adoption thereof grow, so do the challenges associated with them. It is important to accurately valuate InnerSource contributions to ensure the tax compliance of the organization. Especially when said contributions originate from branches located in different countries....

Final Thesis: Improving Scalability and UX of the QDAcity Transcription Service

Abstract: Qualitative research usually consists of multiple activities to extract information from unstructured data. The transcription process is one of the steps in qualitative research and is crucial for the results. With a large data set, the transcription process can be time-consuming and tedious. To enhance the efficiency, Qualitative Data Analysis (QDA) software provides tools for the user to organize and process the data as well as to optimize the workflow....

Final Thesis: Entwicklung eines praktischen Ende-zu-Ende-Systems zur 3D-Unterstützung in Service-Wartungsdokumentation im Bereich der Fahrzeugdiagnose

Abstract: The maintenance and diagnosis of modern vehicles is made considerably more difficult by the increasing system complexity and variety of variants. Technical documentation and software-supported workshop testers are used to support workshop personnel. Three-dimensional representations can make an important contribution here by improving the understanding of spatial relationships and facilitating the localisation of components. As part of this work, an integrated system for integrating interactive 3D visualisations into existing vehicle documentation and workshop applications was developed....

Final Thesis: LicenseLynx: Towards mapping licenses to canonical identifiers

Abstract: In today's software development landscape, managing licenses across various projects is a complex task, especially with recent cybersecurity regulations necessitating accurate SBOM. This research addresses the problem of mapping arbitrary license strings to canonical identifiers, a crucial step for automated license compliance. Previous solutions, such as FOSSology and LDBcollector, have made strides in license identification but lack integration and ease of use in code....

Final Thesis: Improving the User Experience of the Coding Editor in QDAcity

Abstract: This thesis enhances the usability of the QDAcity coding editor, a cloud-based tool for qualitative data analysis (QDA), by addressing key limitations in document organization, code visualization, and interaction efficiency. Three primary improvements were implemented: a hierarchical document group management system, a redesigned Codemap for intuitive code relationship visualization, and inline editing to streamline workflows. Developed using React.js, Java with Spring Boot, and Google Cloud Platform, these features were rigorously tested against functional and non-functional requirements....

Final Thesis: Engineering Workflow Orchestration Interfaces: A Full-Stack Approach to Scalable Pipeline Management, Validated through User-Centered Evaluation

Abstract: As data processing pipelines grow in complexity, effective tools for monitoring and controlling their ex*****on become increasingly important. Within the MECOIS platform, the Apache Airflow scheduler provides a user interface that is difficult for non-technical users to navigate and requires interaction through a separate interface rather than integrating into the system directly. This thesis aims to address these limitations by developing a custom user interface within the MECOIS system for orchestrating data-intensive tasks....

Final Thesis: Design and Development of a Visualization System for Real-Time Dataflows and KPI Monitoring in automotive MES

Abstract: Production systems in modern automotive manufacturing generate huge amounts of operational data in real time, but there are often complex IT processing systems behind the scenes that are opaque and do not provide good insights. The opaqueness affects decision making, hindering the process of obtaining operational knowledge. The thesis will focus on the complete flow of data through each stage of production....
