Welcome

Tim Rietz from the Institute of Information Systems and Marketing (IISM)) and his co-authors from the University of Auckland, James Tizard, and Kelly Blincoe have received a distinguished paper award at RE 2020 for their paper “ Voice of the User: A Demographic Study of Software Feedback Behaviour “.

Das Projekt Smart Microgrids as a Service (SMaaS) basiert auf einer Zusammenarbeit verschiedener industrieller Partner und Forschungseinrichtungen und baut auf dem Landau Microgrid Project (LAMP) auf. LAMP stellt die erste Umsetzung eines lokalen Energiemarktes in Deutschland dar. Die in dem Projekt gewonnenen Erkenntnisse sollen im Projekt SMaaS dazu genutzt werden, das Thema lokale Energiegemeinschaften zu einem innovativen Geschäftsmodell weiterzuentwickeln, das einen Beitrag zur Umsetzung der Energiewende leistet.

Peyman Toreini successfully defended on September 2nd 2020 his PhD thesis titled “Designing Attentive Information Dashboards with Eye Tracking Technology“. He convinced the examination committee (from left to right on the picture: Prof. Dr. Petra Nieken, Prof. Dr. Andreas Oberweis, Prof. Dr Alexander Mädche, Prof. Dr. Rudi Studer) with his research. We congratulate Peyman Toreini for the successful defense!

The Research Group of Prof. Mädche has received a DFG individual research grant titled “Advertising over Time: Interactive Machine Learning for Image Data Analysis“. The research project is carried out in cooperation with the University of Mannheim, Business School, Prof. Stahl. The overall objective of the project is to understand the evolution of advertising over time based on image data. Specifically, we will design an interactive machine learning (IML) system that provides scalable means to analyze large volume of image data to be studied to a period of more than 150 years.

Prof. Christof Weinhardt (IISM), Prof. Alexander Mädche (IISM), Prof. Petra Nieken (IBU), Prof. Benjamin Scheibehenne (IISM), Prof. Nora Szech (ECON), Prof. Melanie Volkamer (AIFB), and Prof. Alexander Woll (IFSS), have jointly received funding for building the Karlsruhe Decision & Design Experimentation Ecosystem (KD²Ex). The financial support from a call for an instrumentation funding program within the university of excellence measure KIT Future Fields enables new forms of participatory research: Digital Citizen Science with a focus on the area of "Wellbeing at Home".

The Journal of Consumer Behavior published a research paper by Moritz Ingendahl, Dennis Hummel, Alexander Maedche, and Tobias Vogel

The Decision Support Systems (DSS) journal published a research paper by Xuanhui Liu, Karl Werder and Alexander Maedche.

Ulrich Gnewuch successfully defended on June 4th 2020 his PhD thesis titled "Social Cues in Human-Chatbot Interaction“. We congratulate Ulrich Gnewuch for the successful defense!

Moritz Langner, Peyman Toreini, and Alexander Maedche have received an award at the NeuroIS Retreat 2020 for their paper „Attention Board: A Quantified-Self Dashboard for Enhancing Attention Management with Eye-Tracking“

We are happy to announce, that the journal Electronic Markets has presented IISM Director Prof. Dr. Christof Weinhardt with the 2019 “Paper of the Year” – Award. This award commends his research on “Designing a robo-advisor for risk-averse, low-budget consumers”. We congratulate Prof. Dr. Weinhardt and his co-authors Dr. Verena Dorner, Dr. Dominik Jung and Hakan Pusmaz to this honor.

Within the new strategic IISM initiative "Karlsruhe Citizen Experimentation" we plan investigate innovative Citizen Science approaches within large-scale field experiment.
