Implementation of Databases
The lecture gives an introduction to the implementation of database systems. Besides the rough architecture of a DB system, detailed methods for solving individual DB tasks, such as query processing and transaction management, are presented. The concepts of implementation are demonstrated using classical relational DB systems as well as distributed and NoSQL systems. Concepts, frameworks […]Knowledge Graph Lab WS 2024
Knowledge Graphs are large graphs used to capture information about the real world in such a way that is is useful for applications. In these data structures, there are all sorts of entities (for example, people, events, places, organizations, etc.). Knowledge Graphs are used by many organizations to represent the information they need for their […]Knowledge Graphs Seminar

Mixed Reality is a continuum of spatial computing experiences on virtual, augmented and extended reality devices, such as the Microsoft HoloLens 2, the HTC Vive Pro, Meta Quest 2 and Android smartphones. In this lab, we learn the basics of mixed reality software development in independent project work that student groups can propose and elaborate.Semantic Web
As part of the W3C Semantic Web initiative standards and technologies have been developed for machine-readable exchange of data, information and knowledge on the Web. These standards and technologies are increasingly being used in applications and have already led to a number of exciting projects (e.g. DBpedia, semantic wiki or commercial applications such as schema.org, […]Seminar Artificial Intelligence in Circular Economy Applications
This seminar offers a collaborative and research-focused exploration of how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be effectively employed to address challenges within the circular economy. Students will actively contribute by conducting their own research and presenting their findings.Seminar Data Ecosystems
Organizations in many domains, such as manufacturing or healthcare, have a huge demand to exchange data to enable new services, drive research and innovation, or improve patient care.Hence, organizations require alliance-driven infrastructures capable of supporting controlled data exchange across diverse stakeholders and transparent data management. Data Ecosystems are distributed, open, and adaptive information systems with […]Seminar Large Language Models – UCD-driven Metrics and Benchmarks
The development of a user-centered quality metric for the outputs of large language models in corporate contexts addresses a key challenge: How can the quality and relevance of AI-powered systems be effectively evaluated and enhanced to optimally meet the specific requirements of companies and their employees? The motivation for this research concept stems from the […]Seminar Privacy and Big Data
This seminar is about new and emerging approaches to adjust and balance privacy and utility in data intensive applications, such as information retrieval, data mining and personalisation. These new approaches have the potential to enable a new generation of privacy-enabled services which are not focused on maximizing the collection of user data. Instead these new […]Social Computing Seminar
Social Computing embodies the intricate interplay between evolving computational systems and dynamic societal behaviors. This field examines how technology can be crafted to interpret and enhance human interactions and observes these systems’ transformative influence on our social fabric.Software Projektpraktikum – Building Large Language Model Applications

Dataspaces Proseminar
Inhalt Die Anforderungen an den Datenaustausch im World Wide Web haben sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten stetig verändert. Anfangs konsumierten die Nutzer nur manuell ausgewählte Inhalte. Durch Trends wie IoT und Industrie 4.0 ist die Datenmenge exponentiell gestiegen, aber Suchmaschinen wie Google helfen dabei. Durch Social Media können Menschen auch selbst Inhalte produzieren und mit […]Knowledge Graph Lab SS 2025

This seminar will discuss the baseline technologies and concepts of the web 3 such as Blockchain, Distributed Ledger, Tokenization, Self-sovereign identity, etc. as well as its applications e.g. in a Metaverse. After the seminar the participants will understand the Web3 Basics and will be able to develop concepts for new Web3 Applications.Software Projektpraktikum – Building Large Language Model Applications
Working Groups
Advanced Community Information Systems
We are using state-of-the-art techniques of software engineering for the specifications of requirements, design, and for implementation. We practice teamwork techniques and use high-end hardware and software. For our group communication, we use the BSCW system and Moodle (prior TikiWiki).
