VSR News 2021

The exam results for the courses from winter semester 2020/2021 are currently being transmitted to the ZPA.

We welcome back all our students of Chemnitz University of Technology that will participate virtually in one of our courses from the professorship for Distributed and Self-organizing systems (VSR) in summer semester 2021.

The first VSR lectures will be held beginning on Tuesday, 13 April 2021.
The tutorials will start later in the semester.

All educational sessions of our VSR professorship will be conducted as an online format this semester. The links for the virtual web rooms will be published on the corresponding course pages in OPAL.

Please stay up-to-date when our tutorials and seminars will start. Also keep in mind, that you have to register for some of our seminars and the Vorbereitungsseminar Planspiel Web Engineering via OPAL in advance.

Our VSR team member Mahda Noura participated in the Dagstuhl seminar on Autonomous Agents on the Web and presented our current research findings and a demo of WoTDL2API  which showed how to webify Internet of Things devices. 

The exam reviews for the Winter Semester 2019/2020 and Summer semester 2020 will take place on 27.01.2021 at 14:00-17:00 and 01.02.2021 at 14:00-17:00. Please note, the exam reviews will ONLY be possible for students who have already registered for it in advance. Please use the following BBB link for entering the session https://webroom.hrz.tu-chemnitz.de/gl/seb-gop-rr6-qkz. When you click on this link, you will be placed in a waiting room, which states “Wait until the moderator gives you permission”. This is a first come first service procedure. Be patient and do NOT refresh the page several times because this will lead you to the end of the queue. Don’t worry if there is no change in the waiting room status for some time! Once it is your turn, the moderator will let you in the BBB-room automatically.

Once, you are in the BBB room, select participation with microphone and provide your webcam, and please prepare your student ID. After successful ID check, you will be placed in a breakout room by the moderator where the review itself will take place. You will have maximum 10 minutes to review each exam.

1. Ensure a quiet and undisturbed environment. Sounds such as music or television are not permitted.

We are very happy and proud to announce, that our research on "Querying the Semantic Web for Concept Identifiers to Annotate Research Datasets" got an Outstanding Paper award at the 14th International Conference on Advances in Semantic Processing SEMAPRO 2020 . Congratulations to our VSR members André Langer, Christoph Göpfert and Martin Gaedke!
