We expect from each team a first pitch on its topic between 26 Nov and 28 Nov.
The presentation time per team is limited to 10 minutes sharp.
We will provide further details to all teams in advance.

Next week, there will be no Planspiel session. Neither on Monday nor on Wednesday. Each team should use the time to become familiar with the problem domain.
In the following week, there will be a Planspiel lecture on Monday, 19 Nov at 17:15 in room 1/204.
The lecture will focus on Design thinking and on how to prepare a first presentation.

The final pitches are going to take place in the first week of March 2019. The final pitch time is expected to be 30 minutes.

The todays lecture in "Current Trends in Web Engineering" will be postponed to another date in semester. It will continue regularly next week.

We are very happy and proud to announce, that our joint research on "Concept extraction from the Web of Things Knowledge Bases" won the Best Paper award at the 17th International Conference WWW/Internet 2018.
