VSR News - feature

We are happy to announce that our external PhD student Markus Ullrich successfully defended his PhD thesis "Performance Modelling for Optimized Resource Management and Application Deployment in Cloud Environments" on 10th of February 2022.

We congratulate Markus for his achievement and wish him all the best for his future.

We are very happy and proud to announce, that VSR has successfully reached the final third milestone and completed the IoTxKG project in the context of AI4EU. Within the last six months, our team was working as a solution provider for the KE4WoT challenge, investigating novel AI-driven models for knowledge extraction in the Web of Things domain. We designed a method to identify and represent core concepts which we successfully applied to Ontologies from the Smart Home, Smart Weather, Smart Transportation and Smart Energy domains and validated it with domain experts. Our research has contributed to the advancement of the European AI on Demand platform, AI4EU (https://www.ai4europe.eu/), and our models are available via the AI4EU Experiments marketplace (https://aiexp.ai4europe.eu/#/marketPlace). Stay tuned for further details about our NLP-based clustering models and interactive concept visualizations to be published in 2022.
Congratulations to our IoTxKG team Mahda Noura, Sebastian Heil and Martin Gaedke!

We are very happy and proud to announce, that our paper "WAT: Autonomous Hypermedia-driven Web Agents for Web of Things Devices" was announced as the Challenge winner at the The 20th International Semantic Web Conference in the All The Agents Challenge 2021. Congratulations to our VSR members Mahda Noura, Valentin Siegert and Martin Gaedke!

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. 

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!

In September 2020, our VSR staff member Verena Traubinger participated in the the Mensch & Computer 2020 Conference in Magdeburg, Germany.

Our ESF Young Researcher Group DYNAMIK presented a research paper about "Dynamic indoor navigation and orientation system for people with impairments". Additionally, we contributed to the workshop "Digitale Lösungen für eine inklusivere Mobilität in Gebäuden?".

In September 2020, our VSR team member Valentin Siegert participated in the Digital Rail Summer School (DRSS) 2020 in Jöhstadt, Germany, in the context of our project activities together with the Deutschen Bahn, HPI Potsdam, TU Berlin, TU Dresden, TU Braunschweig and the IFB.

Our VSR team member Sebastian Heil successfully defended his PhD thesis "Web Migration Revisited Adressing Effort and Risk Concerns" on 24 September 2020.

We congratulate Sebastian to his achievement and are happy to further work with him in our VSR research group at Chemnitz University of Technolgy in the future.

In June 2020, our VSR staff member André Langer attended the 8. Leipziger Semantic Web Tag organized by AKSW/InfAI and sponsored by the eccenca GmbH. #LSWT2020

We got valuable insights into current activities of other partners in the context of Knowledge Graphs, Linked Data Management and Entity Recognition. This information exchange will enhance ongoing research projects of our VSR professorship in the knowledge domain of research information management infrastructures and interdisciplinary research data publishing. 

This year, our VSR team participated in the 20th International Conference on Web Engineering with three accepted research publications. #ICWE2020

Mahda Noura, Sebastian Heil and Martin Gaedke presented the contribution VISH: Does Your Smart Home Dialogue System Also Need Training Data?

In a joint activity with the Novosibirsk State Technical University and C&A Europe, Maxim Bakaev, Maximilian Speicher, Sebastian Heil and Martin Gaedke presented the paper I Don’t Have That Much Data! Reusing User Behavior Models for Websites from Different Domains

Finally, our colleagues André Langer, Dang Vu Nguyen Hai and Martin Gaedke presented SolidRDP: Applying Solid Data Containers for Research Data Publishing. They also won the Most Popular Video Award among all ICWE conference submissions this year.

Congratulations to all authors for their excellent work.
