During lecture time, we have our Lunchtime Seminar each Tuesday from 12.15-12.45. During this seminars, researchers of the Department or invited guest provide us with insights into their research.

| 10.04.2018 | Lunchtime Seminar - Deep Recommendation based on Collective Knowledge |
Nowadays, we have a huge amount of information overload over Internet. To extract useful information, filtering is required. Search engines help to solve this problem to some extent but they do not deliver customized (personalized) information. Hence, there is a need for effective recommendation tools. This line of investigation leads to our central specific question for the present project. We rephrase Turing’s dictum in the following question. Can recommendation systems think? Answers to... more |
| 30.01.2018 | Lunchtime Seminar - Overview on Information Systems at the University of São Paulo |
The University of São Paulo (USP) is the largest and one of the most important universities in Latin America, founded 80 years ago. Among its nearly 50 units (including schools, colleges and institutes), at least five are directly linked to teaching and research in the field of information systems, computing and information technology. The objective of this talk is to present an overview of USP with a focus on these areas of knowledge. |
| 23.01.2018 | Lunchtime Seminar - Propaganda and Social Media: Actors, Trends, and Consequences |
The German general election of September 2017 has amplified the interest of German media and public in possible consequences of social bot usage in social networks. Did something happen, actually? We show some interesting actions detected during our social network monitoring and use that as starting point to characterize what the status of automation in social media is. What is the impact of the new phenomena, how can we detect them, and what are possible countermeasures? And, what is the... more |

| 09.01.2018 | Lunchtime Seminar - Smart Urban Resilience |
A key feature of many future technologies is that they rely more and more on ICT-technologies - hence the vulnerability potential tends to grow. New technologies should be implemented in a sensible way s. t. urban resilience increases but at least does not decrease. The transformation of the classical power system into smart grids is one of the most prominent and societally relevant examples of upcoming transformations - the ongoing increase of automation and power consumption illustrates... more |
| 19.12.2017 | Lunchtime Seminar - Die another day - Repurposing used Electric Vehicle Batteries |
An immature battery technology is one of the crucial obstacles to a quick diffusion of electric mobility in Germany. A core factor is the high initial costs of electric car batteries which cause electric vehicles to be significantly more expensive than comparable vehicles propelled by an internal combustion engine. One way to improve the total cost of ownership of batteries and electric vehicles is the repurposing and further use of electric vehicle batteries that are no longer usable for... more |
| 12.12.2017 | Lunchtime Seminar - The Once-Only Principle and its Implementation in Europe |
The objective of this talk is to discuss the “once-only” principle (OOP) and with it the The Once-Only Principle Project ( “TOOP”), and to summarize the motivation and ambition behind the project. The concept of the OOP focuses on reducing the administrative burden of individuals and businesses by re-organising public sector internal processes, instead of making individuals and business users adjust to those processes. According to the OOP, public administrations should collect information... more |
| 05.12.2017 | Lunchtime Seminar - JiTT@OS2017: Why and how not to lecture |
JiTT@OperatingSystems was as project throughout summer term 2017 funded with a fellowship for innovation in digital university teaching by Stifterverband and Ministry of Innovation, Science and Research (NRW). The project aimed to improve the teaching and learning situation throughout lectures on “Operating Systems” in the module “Computer Structures and Operating Systems” (compulsory module in Bachelor studies Wirtschaftsinformatik, 4th semester) by applying Just-in-Time Teaching (JiTT).... more |
| 28.11.2017 | Lunchtime Seminar - The real demand for global and local environmental protection – experimental evidence from climate change mitigation in Beijing |
In this study, the real demand for global and local environmental protection in Beijing/China is investigated. Participants from Beijing were offered the opportunity to contribute to voluntary climate change mitigation by purchasing permits from Chinese CO2 emissions trading schemes (ETS). Purchased permits were withdrawn from the ETS. Since CO2 emissions are inevitably linked to emissions of local pollutants the objective of our study is to disentangle the real demand for global and for... more |
| 21.11.2017 | Lunchtime Seminar - Getrost vergessen |
Intentional forgetting is a tandem project of the University of Münster with the disciplines Organisational & Business Psychology (Guido Hertel) and Information Systems (Jörg Becker) which focuses on studies on motivational factors that can interfere or promote intentional forgetting in organizations. Intentional forgetting is operationalized by the extent of the utilization of information systems. Information systems provide users with relevant information. The research is about the... more |
