Innovating Enterprise Innovation

Abstract

Innovation is one of the key enablers for European enterprises to compete in global markets. The term ‘innovation’ is constantly used in speeches of managers, politicians, public administrators. However, in the large majority of cases, the term is used as a generic ‚place holder‘, a sort of container whose actual content is left to the intuition. For this reason it is important to deeply elaborate, specifically on the notion of Enterprise Innovation, to better understand the essence and meaning of innovation.

Innovation stems from a virtuous mix of intuition, creativity, and a solid background knowledge. Each innovation endeavour has its own characteristics, largely different from previous experiences. It falls in the category of ‘wicked problems’, i.e., problems difficult to solve because of incomplete, fuzzy, changing requirements. Nevertheless, there are recurring patterns and it is possible to conceive systematic methods, and supporting information systems, to promote and manage innovation avoiding the risk to close it in a ‘cage’, risking depressing the fundamental creativity and fantasy. This talk will present an innovative framework for enterprise innovation that includes a methodology and an innovation management platform which is based on an generic behavioural pattern (i.e., independent of the industrial sector), a strong knowledge orientation, and an innovation monitoring system funded on a number of Key Performance Indicators, to constantly keep the progress of the innovation project under control.

User Intentions in Multimedia

LuxAssoc.Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Dr. Mathias Lux | Mi, 14.05.2014 | 17:00-18:30, HS 2

Abstract: How to build better multimedia information systems? Management and organization of multimedia data has become easier thanks to the wide availability of metadata as well as advances in content-based image retrieval (CBIR); these advances, however, do not address what matters the most: the actual users of multimedia information systems. The goals and aims of users, i.e., their intentions, need to be put into focus in some creative way. In this talk I will investigate possibilities, challenges and opportunities for integrating user intentions into multimedia production, sharing, and retrieval.

Efficient scalar multiplication in elliptic curve cryptography

HeubergerUniv.-Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Dr. Clemens Heuberger | Mi, 09.04.2014 | 17:00-18:30, HS 2

Abstract: Scalar multiplication is the key operation in public key cryptosystems implemented via elliptic (or hyperelliptic) curves. One strategy to implement it efficiently uses suitable digit expansions. Having a larger set of digits than strictly necessary introduces redundancy which can be used to minimise the number of expensive curve operations. Apart from binary expansions, expansions to complex bases are used; these correspond to efficient endomorphisms on the curve. We give a survey on these methods and their asymptotic analysis.

Smart imaging, from silicon to vision: challenges and… specifications?

Abstract: Highly local parallel computing and efficient memory management are emerging as key architectural concepts to continue increasing the performance of CMOS technologies despite physical limiting factors [1]. When it comes to vision systems, these concepts gain even greater relevance due to the nature of the information to be processed and the processing itself. Images contain a massive amount of data that must usually be analyzed under strict timing and power specifications. They require, at early processing stages, local interactions between pixels that can mostly take place in parallel. A distributed memory arrangement keeping topographical image information adapts seamlessly to such interactions. These particular features of low-level image processing demand to explore, for the sake of boosting performance, architectural solutions other than those based on conventional serial schemes. The industry is also pushing in this direction with the development of standards like OpenVX [2] calling for specialized vision hardware.

In this talk, the approach for smart imaging followed by the vision research group of the Institute of Microelectronics of Seville will be described. This approach focuses on the exploitation of the inherent characteristics of early vision as well as on an intensive use of distributed memory. Some of the latest vision chips designed by the group will be presented while highlighting the challenges to be addressed in the future. Finally, the need for a tight integration between hardware and software providing specifications at different levels will be proposed as the next step to boost the performance of vision systems.

A Tale of Experiments on Bug-Prediction

Martin Pinzger

Univ.-Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Dr. Martin Pinzger | Mi, 26.03.2014 | 17:00-18:30, HS 2

Abstract: Software repositories store a wealth of information about software projects including data about failures that get reported by testers and users. One of the main themes of the mining software repositories research is to use this rich information to prevent failures, for instance by training models that check the current release of a system and point out potential bugs. In this talk, I present examples of my research in mining software repositories to identify failure-prone source files and methods in several open source projects and failure-prone binaries in the Microsoft Windows Vista project. While the prediction models show promising results in pointing out failure-prone entities they leave room for many interpretations on what to do in order to prevent failures. Based on these examples and my observations I discuss several challenges of mining software repositories and potential applications.
