VSR News - feature

In May 2019, our VSR staff members participated in the 7. Leipziger Semantic Web Tag organized by AKSW/InfAI and sponsored by eccenca GmbH and Datev eG.

The event provided valuable information on current trends in data management based on Linked Data for research as well as smart city and business activities. Additionally, our Webind student team led a tutorial on SoLiD.

In December 2018, our VSR research group participated in the ICT 2018: Imagine Digital - Connect Europe event of the European Commission, taking place in the Vienna International Center in Austria.

Regarding our H2020 activities, we had valuable sessions to exchange ideas and make new contacts.

If you are also involved in one of the current calls, feel free to contact us via email.

Our team member André Langer visited the DILS post-conference "Open Research Knowledge Graph", hosted at the TIB Hannover at the end of November 2018.

In this workshop, we worked together with the group of Prof. Dr. Sören Auer and other researchers on new visionary ways for structured scientific publishing by using Linked Data.

Our VSR research team was able to support this project with our expertise in human-centered approaches to frontend input interfaces for the collection of Linked Data and the encouragement of users to provide qualitative meta data for scholarly artefacts.

Our VSR team members André Langer, Mahda Noura and Eduard Daoud attended in October the ICWI 2018, the 17th International Conference on new WWW/Internet trends.

We presented recent research findings regarding Frontend User Interfaces for Linked Data, Popular IoT ontology concepts and Search-based dashboards.

Thanks to all VSR members for their valuable contribution.

In August 2018, our VSR team member Valentin Siegert participated in a Smart Rail Connectivity Campus workshop, held in the TU Chemnitz project facility METEOR.

Focusing our expertise in security aspects of intelligent and collaborative systems, we got actively involved in a panel discussion on secure information exchange in the Data Economy regarding operational conepts of autonomous train traffic. Thereby the group achieved several concepts for possible future projects at the Smart Rail Connectivity Campus. 

In June 2018, Prof. Martin Gaedke and our VSR staff members Michael Krug, André Langer and Valentin Siegert successfully presented our final results in the closing event of our Linked Enterprise Data Services Project in Leipzig.

Our project partners and we are very happy with the achieved project findings on Data Quality and Knowledge Extraction, and we are looking forward to thereby supporting interested innovative industrial customers in the future.

This year, Prof. Martin Gaedke, Sebastian Heil, André Langer, Mahda Noura, Bahareh Zarei, Maxim Bakaev and Valentin Siegert visited the 18th International Conference on Web Engineering in Cáceres, Spain.

We presented our contributions about our latest findings and research results on Web Migration, Data Quality, End-User Development and Web of Things, and received positive and valuable feedback on our work.

At the end of September, the INFORMATIK 2017 conference took place at Chemnitz, University of Technology, a congress organized by members of the TUC and VSR for the German Informatics Society (GI).

Thanks to all contributors and visitors for this successful event.

On September 28, 2017, our team members André and Michael presented their current work on Utilizing Linked Data Structures for Social-aware Search applications at the LEDSPLaY17 workshop of the INFORMATIK 2017 conference in Chemnitz.

The results are part of our activities within the LEDS project.

Our VSR member Alexey Tschudnowsky successfully defended his PhD thesis "End-User Development of Web-based Decision Support Systems" on 03 February 2017. We congratulate Alexey to his achievement and wish him all the best for his future.
