New Collaboration Network Started for European Collaborative Research Actions

28/07/2019/in Action, Action, News, Project, Research /by Dirk Burkhardt

We have successfully initiated a new European Research Network to strengthen and supporting actions in respect of European collaborative research. The main goal of this network is to create a sustainable European (but not limited on Europe) strategic alliance to foster European research and innovation in the area of Visual Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, Simulation, Prediction, Smart Manufacturing and Technology and Innovation Management including innovations for business, manufacturing and eGovernance. On the fundament of the research network, research actions such as preparing a funding proposal (e.g. COST actions) should be faced and simplified in particular toward finding partners and expertise.

The research network is a major goal and outcome of the EuroStraNet project. The project was setup to define a strategy, build an initial fundament and finding partners to start with this new strong collaboration ship.

If you as researcher and/or representative of a research institution or company are interested in joining the network, you are more than welcome. You are just asked to mail us a logo of your institution and a brief description of your research area and interests.

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

The event takes places on April 26, 2019, at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences in Hamburg, Germany.
More information about the event can be found on the event website or on the organizers website.

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.

Research Day at h_da

16/09/2019/in Event /by Dirk Burkhardt

The “Research Day” (German original title: “Tag der Forschung”) was first held back in 2002, establishing a tradition, where every year in November, news about current research activities were shown and the time for networking and discussion is given. The annual Research Day has a special significance for the Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences. It is aimed at university members, company representatives, institutions in the region and the interested public. Exciting lectures and discussions on current research activities at the university and the awarding of the science prize are part of the program.

This year’s Research Day is themed Digitalization and Sustainable Development.
