ISSD Seminar
Description
With this seminar, we aim to provide students with the possibility to independently work on state-of-the-art research topics in addition to the knowledge gained in the lectures of the research group ISSD (Prof. Mädche). The research group “Information Systems & Service Design” (ISSD) headed by Prof. Mädche focuses in research, education, and innovation on designing interactive intelligent systems. It is positioned at the intersection of Information Systems (IS) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).
In the seminar, participants will get deeper insights in a contemporary research topic in the field of information systems, specifically interactive intelligent systems.
The actual seminar topics will be derived from current research activities of the research group. Our doctoral researchers offer a rich set of topics from our research clusters (digital experience and participation, intelligent enterprise systems, or digital services design & innovation). Students can prioritize assignments to these topics individually depending on their personal interests. The seminar is carried out in the form of a literature-based thesis project. In the seminar, students will acquire the important methodological skills of running a systematic literature review.
Learning Objectives
- focus on a contemporary topic at the intersection of Information Systems (IS) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), specifically interactive intelligent systems

- aggregate the collected information in a suitable way to present and extract knowledge
- write a seminar thesis following academic writing standards
- deliver a presentation in a scientific context in front of an auditorium
Prerequisites
No specific prerequisites are required for the seminar.
Literature
Further literature will be made available in the seminar.
Course Content
Depending on the supervisor and the individual research focus. We provide new seminar topics in every semester.

Within the seminar, students have to prepare a seminar thesis comprising up to 20 pages.
Course Grading
The assessment consists of a seminar paper, a presentation of the results, and the contribution to the discussions within the presentation sessions. The final grade is based on the evaluation of each component:
- seminar thesis (70%)
- seminar presentation (20%)
- contribution to discussion (10%)
