Dynamical low-rank approximation is a differential-equation-based approach to efficiently compute low-rank approximations to time-dependent large data matrices or to solutions of large matrix differential equations. We illustrate its use in the following application areas: as an updating...

In recent years, governmental and industrial espionage becomes an increased problem for governments and corporations. Especially information about current technology development and research activities are interesting targets for espionage. Thus, we introduce a new and automated methodology that...

We investigate an automated identification of weak signals according to Ansoff to improve strategic planning and technological forecasting. Literature shows that weak signals can be found in the organization’s environment and that they appear in different contexts. We use internet information...

Many national and international governments establish organizations for applied science research funding. For this, several organizations have defined procedures for identifying relevant projects that based on prioritized technologies. Even for applied science research projects, which combine...

Cross impact analysis (CIA) consists of a set of related methodologies that predict the occurrence probability of a specific event and that also predict the conditional probability of a first event given a second event. The conditional probability can be interpreted as the impact of the second...

The aim of cross impact analysis (CIA) is to predict the impact of a first event on a second. For organization’s strategic planning, it is helpful to identify the impacts among organization’s internal events and to compare these impacts to the corresponding impacts of external events from...

Die Informationsflut, die dem Entscheidungsträger im Internet aber auch in internen Quellen begegnet, lässt sich nur schwer bewältigen. Daher ist die verfügbare Menge der Informationen zunächst in interessante und uninteressante Informationen zu unterteilen. Dem Entschei-dungsträger sind...
