The research group “Information Systems I” (ISSD) headed by Prof. Mädche focuses in research, education, and innovation on designing interactive intelligent systems. The research group is positioned at the intersection of Information Systems (IS) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Our mission is to create impactful scientific knowledge for designing interactive intelligent systems to increase human productivity and well-being. We believe that delivering cutting-edge knowledge and inspiring education, as well as an ongoing dialog with the public need to go hand in hand to maximize the impact of our work in organizations and society.
The group is organized in three research departments: Digital Experience & Participation, Intelligent Enterprise Systems, and Interactive Systems Engineering. Current research topics of research are:
Moritz Langner, member of the research group Information Systems I, has received the Ernst-Blicke-Study Price for his master thesis titled „Supportig Joint Attention in Remote Team Collaboration Using Eye Tracking Technology – A Field Study“. The thesis was supervised by Dr. Peyman Toreini. Further information about the SEW Eurodrive Foundation is available here: http://sew-eurodrive-stiftung.de/studienpreis.html

Computers have evolved from batch processors towards highly interactive systems. This offers new possibilities but also challenges for the successful design of the interaction between human and computer. Interactive system are socio-technical systems in which users perform tasks by interacting with technology in a specific context in order to achieve specified goals and outcomes. The aim of this course is to introduce advanced concepts and theories, interaction technologies as well as current practice of contemporary interactive systems.

As part of the Digital Citizen Science initiative, the participatory campaign "Home Office? Challenge accepted!" runs from April to July. Citizens are invited to submit their individual challenges in everyday home office life for which they would like receive support from science. As part of the initiative, potential solutions are developed for selected challenges and shared as well as discussed with citzens in July.

In this seminar you will take on a selected real-world Home Office challenge articulated by citizens and propose an innovative solution. You will learn and apply design techniques to address the challenge and leverage prototyping tools for proposing an innovative solution for it. Finally, to close the loop we will invite citizens for the final presentation of the potential solutions and collect their feedback at the end of the seminar. Further information is available here. You can apply until 24.03.22 via the Wiwi-Portal.
