Visual Trend Analytics@Information Science Trends: Search Engines and Information Retrieval

26/04/2019/in Event, Research, Scitics, Talk /by Dirk Burkhardt

The event “Information Science Trends: Search Engines and Information Retrieval”, organized and hosted by the European Chapter of the Association for Information Science and Technology, focuses on certain research topics introduced by invited speeches from research and industry. The major covered research areas are:

Retrieval research on web search engines, web services, professional information services, social media
Information seeking behavior
Information retrieval
Discovery systems
People interacting with search systems
Searching in the library and other scientific contexts
Understanding user behavior

Additionally, they will provide networking space to energetically share ideas and interests from the fields of information science and related disciplines.

At this event Prof. Dr. Nazemi gives a speech on “Visual Trend Analytics in Digital Libraries”, in particular based on the experiences with the own developed Scitics solution. Here he gives an overview about current research actions and challenges toward visual trend analysis, but also on opportunities and benefits for companies. In particular the digitalization challenges a number of small and medium sized enterprises to be aware of modern technologies and trends that revolute the market or impacts the current businesses

Attendance at #wissbar19

10/04/2019/0 Comments/in Event, Workshop /by Dirk Burkhardt

The research center DKMI organized this year’s #wissbar19 event between April 5^th and 6^th. On this two-day event the attendance discussed, brainstormed and challenged each other about a broad number of current relevant research topics.

As a theme barcamp, the #wissbar19 brought many interested parties from the media industry and the economy to the media campus in Dieburg. Researchers were networked with each other, and practitioners from different companies came by to share with colleagues from science. Media representatives not only discussed projects or calls for papers, but also exchanged ideas in the fields of digital communication and media innovation. There were sessions on methods and scientific work, creative workshops and sparring sessions in which models in development could be discussed and further spun. Key words in conversation were particularly “artificial intelligence”, “business analytics, “gamification”, “public relations” and “lifelong learning”.

Kickoff of the National AVARTIM Project

01/04/2019/in Allgemein, News, Project, Scitics /by Dirk Burkhardt

Today is the kickoff of the national project AVARTIM. The project has to goal of the early recognition of technological trends and the targeted handling of market and technology signals are becoming increasingly important for companies. As part of the project, “AVARTIM” is to be used to develop a software-supported process for recognizing and evaluating trends, market and technology signals in order to sustainably support the process of innovation and technology management. As part of the project, an infrastructure will be set up at Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences, which is modular and thus able to react quickly to technological changes. The infrastructure to be developed here serves as preliminary research and initial technology both for industrial use by and with the SME partners as well as for the application for joint projects. First of all, participation in the LOEWE funding line 3 of the state of Hessen and subsequently in the tender for LEIT-ICT / Big Data technologies of the EU is aimed at.

More about the project you will find on project description site. The work on the infrastructure as well as the developments are all made on our novel Scitics solution.

Upcomming Collaborative European Research Conference 2019 in Darmstadt

25/03/2019/0 Comments/in Allgemein, News, Research /by Dirk Burkhardt

Involved as both, co-editor and member of the international scientific committee, the h_da|vis team is glad to announce the upcoming 5th Collaborative European Research Conference 2019 (CERC2019) on March 29-30 2019 in Darmstadt.

The multidisciplinary Collaborative European Research Conference (CERC) is an annual event that takes place since 2011 when it was initiated by University partners across Europe. It brings together researchers from a wide range of disciplines in order to foster knowledge transfer, inter-disciplinary exchange and collaboration.

In previous years, contributions came from computer science, biology, bioinformatics, business information systems, marketing, IT-security, civil engineering, education, psychology, multimedia, art, etc. Contributing students came from Ireland, Germany, England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Norway, France, USA, etc. Accepted contributions will be published in digital proceedings with an ISSN number. A prize for the best paper will be awarded during the conference dinner on March 29, 2019.

For more information about the conference, please check the website http://www.cerc-conference.eu.

Update 23/04/2019: The proceedings are now online on CEUR-WS under the link http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2348/ (and under the URN: urn:nbn:de:0074-2348-5).

Leading Article to „Visual Analytics for Early Technology Trend Detection”

18/02/2019/0 Comments/in Allgemein, News, Research, Scitics /by Dirk Burkhardt

Prof. Nazemi wrote an interesting leading article for the Research Center of Applied Informatics about his research toward visual analytics technologies for early technology trend detection.

In this article he stated the relevance of noticing early indicators for the detection of new and, above all, socially and economically important technologies that can provide scientific publications. For this purpose, he and his team developed a trend analytics solution that covers a data processing pipeline beginning with the collection and transformation of unstructured text to a final visual interactive interface that enables analysts to elaborate trends, leaders and further relevant business aspects.
