Department of Informatics

Research

The three main research areas at the Department of Informatics are Human-Centered Informatics, Computing and Economics, and Big Data Analysis for the economy and the sciences. In addition we investigate all aspects of the Digitalization that influence economies, the sciences, and society at large.

Research Highlights

  • Man-Machine interaction in Ethics

    Algorithmic support can help with the process in taking ethical decisions.

  • FlowLight

    The FlowLight is an approach we developed to optimize the timing of interruptions and reduce the cost of external interruptions.

  • Advisory Service Support

    Some information needs are so complex that they cannot easily be satisfied by the seeker.

  • Touchstone

    Touchstone2 offers a direct-manipulation interface for generating and examining trade-offs in experiment designs.

  • Biometric sensing

    Support developers by identifying difficult code and sense/indicate focus and interrubtibility.

  • Alpscarf

    Alpscarfs are an extension of scarf plots with mountains and valleys to visualize order-conformity and revisits.

  • Diverse News Recommendations
