Our VSR team member Sebastian Heil gave a talk on Smart Energy Systems and Automation - A Web Engineering Perspective at the Indo-German Science and Technology Centre Funded Bilateral Workshop: Information-centric Networks for Resilient Smart Urban Infrastructure held at the Atal Bihari Vajpayee - Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management, Gwalior, India.

The professorship presented its research to the public at the Tag der Offenen Tür in the Winter Semester 2023/2024. We offered insights by showing several demonstrators which visitors could also try out on their own.

Today and yesterday, we participated in the CONVERSATIONS '23 Workshop in Oslo which connects researchers around the world who work on Chatbot and Conversational Agents. At the workshop we presented our paper "In Search of Dark Patterns in Chatbots". It is written together with colleagues from Lifia at Universidad Nacional de la Plata and offers new insights into the existence of Dark Patterns in customer service chatbots. The presentation is accessible here.

Further information and the paper preprint are available on the workshop homepage.

Today, VSR attended the 4th annual meeting of the SaxFDM initiative, exchanging knowledge and discussing future activities in the area of Research Data Management with participants from all mayor research institutions in Saxony. The fruitful discussions about technological, organizational and regulatory aspects of providing Research Data infrastructures and consulting to researchers further strengthens our ongoing activities in the context of TRR HYP*MOL and the establishing of TUC's research data platform, TUCdata.

The exam review for the exams written in the summer semester 2023 will again be held online. Starting from today until October 25 2023 at 23:59, we will provide you the possibility to register online for the exams you want to review.
Please use the following link for the registration, by specifying the exam you want to review:

https://mytuc.org/kjzx

Please note that registration for the exam review is required for organizational reasons. Furthermore, we do not disclose sample solutions during the exam review.

The actual exam review will take place in presence on Oct 26 2023 at 11:30-15:00 and Nov 02 2023 at 15:00-17:00. You can freely choose, when you want to come in for the review, although you can do so only once. Please consider that each review per exam takes probably about 10 minutes. Thus, arriving later than 10 minutes to the end you might have no chance to review anymore. This adds up accordingly if you want to review more than one exam.

The exam review will take place in the FRIZ computer pool A11.201 (old: 1/B201). Please bring your student ID and wait for the door as you will be let in one by one. More information on the process of the presence exam review can be found in the edu FAQ. If you have further questions after reading the FAQ, you can send your question by mail to us via vsr-edu@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de.
