In todays high voltage processes the optimization of process and layout design is a key point to get competitive products. Effects like punch-through between two junctions and breakdown near the surface of the wells make it necessary to analyze complex three-dimensional process steps by simulators which give accurate answers to the process engineers.

Organizations have realized that effective development and management of their organizational knowledge base is very important for their survival in todays competitive business environment. People, as a special knowledge asset, also attract the interest of many researchers because, only through people communicating with one another, can they really share their tacit knowledge and skills that ca...

Todays FPGA technology allows reconngurable hardware to be integrated into standard PC hardware. A hardware like this allows for on-they reconngurable hardware. It is possible to remove and insert complete subsystems just by reinitializing the conngurable components. These systems make new demands on software that often can't be fulllled by the classical device driver concept used in todays ope...

While agility is a core challenge in todays competitive business, softwarebased business process modeling and execution approaches often refer to strict and inflexible formalization. Complementary, we propose an extension of the business process model by integrating information from the Internet of Things to increase flexibility. Along with orchestration tools and knowledge worker support, new ...
