The research group “Information Systems & Service Design” (ISSD) headed by Prof. Mädche focuses in research, education, and innovation on designing interactive intelligent systems. The research belongs to the Institute of Information Systems and Marketing (IISM) and is embedded into the Information Systems & Engineering group. ISSD is also part of the Karlsruhe Service Research Institute (KSRI).
The research group is positioned at the intersection of Information Systems (german: Wirtschaftsinformatik) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Our mission is to create impactful scientific knowledge for designing interactive intelligent systems that enable humans to perform activities more efficiently, effectively, and meaningful. 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 Digital Service Design & Innovation. Current topics of research are Human-AI Interaction, Cognitive Interaction Technologies, Physiological Computing Systems, Interactive Business Intelligence & Analytics Systems, and Interactive Systems Engineering.
As part of the excellence university project “KIT Future Fields“ Prof. Dr. Weinhardt (IISM), Prof. Dr. Mädche (IISM), Prof. Dr. Nieken (IBU), Prof. Dr. Scheibehenne (IISM), Prof. Dr. Szech (ECON), Prof. Dr. Volkamer (AIFB) und Prof. Dr. Woll (IfSS) have received funding for the upcoming 18 months.
Strategisches Ziel des Projektes ist es, Digital Citizen Science als neue, vielversprechende Forschungsmethode für die sozial- und wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Forschung zu entwickeln und zu etablieren.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Capstone Project in this year's Designing Interactive Systems (DIS) lecture was conducted completely virtually. 28 students worked on a real-world challenge provided by our partner EnBW and designed innovative prototypes based on lecture content. The results of the students were well-received by EnBW and lead to fruitful discussions in the final presentation session. Students also gained valuable insights into virtual team work and hands-on experience with collaboration tools (e.g., MS Teams, Slack, Miro).

Together with Jan vom Brocke and Alan Hevner, Alexander Maedche published a book providing a twelve examples on how to apply Design Science Research (DSR). Design Science Research is a powerful paradigm enabling researchers to make important contributions to society and industry. Simply stated, the goal of DSR is to generate knowledge on how to find innovative solutions to important problems in the form of models, methods, constructs and instantiations.

Join us in researching ML-based interactive labeling systems to extract structural formulas and improve document accessibility for visually impaired people! The goal of this Master’s thesis is to design, develop and evaluate an interactive labeling system to support the accessibility of figures. The specific context are chemical structural formulas, which offer many interesting alternative representations.
