Aufgabenstellung

Moderne Routingdienste verfügen über eine Vielzahl proprietärer technischer Parameter. Um die Routen zu personalisieren, können Nutzerpräferenzen auf diese Parameter der Routingdienste abgebildet werden. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit sollen verschiedene Algorithmen für die Kalibrierung des Valhalla Routingdienstes verglichen werden, mit dem Ziel, ein Tool zur Personalisierung der Routen zu entwickeln.

Zunächst sollen unterschiedliche Algorithmen untersucht und analysiert werden, um den besten Ansatz zur Kalibrierung des Valhalla Routingdienstes zu identifizieren. Darauf aufbauend wird ein Tool entwickelt, das die Routenqualität basierend auf den kalibrierten Parametern verbessert.

Es besteht die Möglichkeit, die kalibrierten Routinginstanzen in Mercedes-Benz Fahrzeugen zu testen. Diese Abschlussarbeit bietet die Chance, an der Schnittstelle zwischen Forschung und praktischer Anwendung zu arbeiten und direkt zur Verbesserung des Routings in der Automobilindustrie beizutragen.

Background:

Decisions at general meetings of listed companies are increasingly being made by fund managers, as the funds hold larger shares. The owners of the fund shares are not involved.

This paper is intended to show in which decision-making situations at general meetings the involvement of fund shareholders makes sense.

Task:

The vast majority of agenda items at general meetings deal with potentially important but essentially non-controversial issues. In these cases, decisions depend on business or legal/regulatory circumstances; personal attitudes, opinions or positions play a subordinate role at best. These decisions can generally be delegated well and in a way that "safeguards interests", for example by assuming the overall objective of maximizing company value.

In individual cases, however, there are also TOPs that are emotionally charged, where approval or rejection depends on other factors, such as the political or social attitudes and opinions of the person making the decision. Examples of this include ESG-oriented investment programs, appointments to supervisory boards or the remuneration of management board members. In order to make such "controversial" decisions, the attitudes and opinions of the person making the decision must be known and communicated in the event of an intended delegation.

This BA/MA will focus on the first part of this delegation process: what are the frequently occurring "contentious" issues in a given year. To this end, with the support of an LLM and with the inclusion of AGM documents from several companies in a given year, a list of controversial agenda items or decision proposals and their order of priority is to be prepared.

Outlook:

Future work could then deal with the follow-up question of how the attitudes of individual decision-makers (shareholders) on contentious issues can be ascertained.

In business process management, the documentation of business processes is still predominantly carried out manually in a time-consuming and error-prone manner. However, there are already some approaches for improving process recording and process modeling through automation. One possibility is to generate a Petri net from XML-based documents. With higher Petri nets (e.g. Pr/T net), switching conditions can be further specified on the basis of more distinguishable markers. For example, if a marker in the "new invoice" position represents a specific invoice and the position is followed by a "grant discount" transition, it can be specified in the transition that only invoices over €500 should receive a discount. In this assignment, you will therefore develop a concept for how these business rules can be suggested to the modeler based on the documents. For example, the documents must be compared with each other and the cases in which a document only occurs must be checked. In the thesis, you will look at different approaches in order to subsequently develop a concept and implement it as a prototype. Language models, for example, could be used to extract information. However, since semi-structured data is assumed, non-NLP-based methods could also be used.
