Zander, Stefan

Wintersemester 2024 / 2025

Aktuell absolviere ich mein Forschungssemester und bin daher von Lehraufgaben befreit.

Sommersemester 2024

• Semantisches Wissensmanagement im Unternehmen (als Blockkurs nach der Klausurphase)
• Human-Computer-Interaction
• Informatik und Gesellschaft (zusammen mit Bettina von Römer)
• Praxismodul (Wichert/Zander)
• Projekt Systementwicklung / Projekt-KMI (Bachelor)
• Wissenschaftliches Arbeiten in der Informatik 2 

Siehe auch https://obs.fbi.h-da.de/stundenplaene/d/P_Zander_Stefan.php

Themen im Projekt Systementwicklung / Projekt-KMI

• Erweiterung einer existierende mobilen App (we3ve) zum Themenkomplex Elektromobilität (Car-Sharing and Booking) um zusätzliche Funktionen (Frontend: Flutter; Backend: express) und Refactoring
• Überführung der Fachbereichsratsprotokolle in eine semantische Wissensbasis unter Anwendung moderner NLP- und Wissensgraphtechnologien (je nach Teilnehmendenzahl)

Nähere Informationen erteile ich vorab gerne auf Anfrage.

Wichtige Info zu Human-Computer-Interaction (HCI)

• Im Stundenplan ist wöchentlich ein Doppelblock vorgesehen. Dies ist bewußt gewählt und hilft uns, die theoretischen Inhalte schneller und in konzentrierten Blöcken zu behandeln. Die VO endet damit früher, so dass der Rest des Semesters für die Bearbeitung des Semesterprojektes genutzt werden kann. Durch den Doppelblock werden nicht mehr Inhalte behandelt als in den anderen parallelen Zügen.  

Hier finden Sie eine Reihe von Themenvorschlägen für Abschlussarbeiten (Bachelor / Master). Selbsterverständlich betreue ich auch Arbeiten mit individuellen Themenstellungen.
