I studied mathematics and computer science at the TU Kaiserslautern and work as a researcher, consultant and head of the SCLL (SmartCity Living Lab) at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) since 2003. I initiated and led numerous projects with partners from research, industry and public administration and authored a variety of national and international publications. My research interests are the use of AI and data-driven approaches in Smart Cities and interactions of AI and social processes, and I did my PhD on potentials of using social media technologies for improved access to digital content. I am also founder of the DFKI spin-off Quertex GmbH and co-founder of the architecture startup baukobox GmbH founded in 2018.
Work, Projects
Current Work and Projects
I am head of the SmartCity Living Lab (SCLL), an interdisciplinary research project at DFKI. In the SCLL, we are developing and testing innovative information and communication technology for the cities of tomorrow. At our Kaiserslautern site, in cooperation with partner institutions, we are researching how modern technology can be deployed sensibly and systematically in cities so that it can contribute in different areas to sustainable urban development. We have local partners like the City of Kaiserslautern, the TU Kaiserslautern, Fraunhofer IESE, and Fraunhofer ITWM, and also work closely together with other partners such as the Metropolregion Rhein Neckar (MRN) GmbH and the Tegel Projekt GmbH.
The interdisciplinary research project Ageing Smart - Designing
Spaces Intelligently at
the TU
Kaiserslautern addresses the "baby boomer"
generation born between 1955 and 1969. As they
gradually enter retirement age, municipalities are
challenged to create age-appropriate residential
locations and supply structures. In an integrated
approach, the researchers are therefore bringing
together spatial planning, infrastructural and
supply-side approaches from the perspective of the
"baby boomers" and the municipalities. The aim is
to develop a data-based system that serves as a
decision-making aid for public actors in their
planning processes. The project will run from 2021
to 2026 and is funded by the Carl Zeiss
Foundation. The Knowledge-Based Systems department and
DFKI are part of the project consortium and
responsible for the use and development of
AI-based methods and the realisation of the
decision support system. I am part of the project
board and coordinate the contributions of the SCLL.
Within the framework of BMWSB's "Model Projects Smart Cities" (MPSC), DFKI is a
formal cooperation partner of the city of Kaiserslautern and,
specifically through the SmartCity
Living Lab, plays a significant role in the conception of urban data
management and contributes its experience in concrete individual
projects and in fundamental digitisation processes, especially in the
organisation of data from a wide range of sources. Other topics include
the use and testing of technologies from application-oriented (AI)
research for administration (e.g. in data integration, data analysis or
document and image processing). The cooperation uses networks
externally, but also within the city, to strengthen the bridge to the
research landscape with universities and institutes. As the person
responsible for this cooperation, I am part of the
city's digitization unit (Stabsstelle Digitalisierung) and part of the
technical project managahement of the MPSC projects.
I am technical leader
of mindpool,
DFKI's internal project aiming to offer a social
media suite for all
DFKI employees (in Berlin, Bremen, Kaiserslautern,
Lübeck, Oldenburg, Osnabrück,
and Saarbrücken). Mindpool is a
social resource sharing platform based
on ALOE and
contains information items such as galleries,
visits, and press coverage. Several strategies to encourage users to participate were developed to foster the creation of a sustainable community.
Previous Projects
The consortium project AScore is being funded by the the Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (Federal Ministry of Education and Research) from 01/2021 until 12/2021. The main objective of AScore is the design and development of a simulation-based management cockpit for municipal crisis management in the event of escalating infectious diseases using the example of the municipality of Kaiserslautern and the COVID-19-Pandemic, employing methods from the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly smart cities technologies and agent-based social simulation. DFKI is the consortium leader and I am responsible for the contributions from the SmartCity Living Lab.
In 2020 I was co-authoring a study on ideas, concepts, and developments of AI in small medium-sized towns in Rhineland-Palatinate. It was funded by the Entwicklungsagentur Rheinland-Pfalz e.V. and is a joint work by the department of Stadtsoziologie at the TU Kaiserslautern, DFKI, and Fraunhofer IESE. I was providing DFKI's contributions.
The
GaNEsHA
project was funded by the the Bundesministerium für Verkehr und digitale Infrastruktur
(Federal
Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure) from
06/2017 until 10/2020. The GaNEsHA consortium
wanted to realize a system that processes network
and traffic information in order to achieve an
overall optimum. Big data technologies was applied
to develop special logistics optimization
procedures that are able to calculate individual
recommendations, and user-friendly applications
passed the calculated routes to all
participants. Incentive systems also playes a
central role. In GaNEsHA, DFKI focused on developing
and simulating algorithms that analyze traffic and
provide recommendations, and on developing web-based
tools to collect location-based feedback from GaNEsHA users.
In 2018 and 2019 I was co-authoring a study on the effects
of artificial systems in particular and
digitalization in general on communal life in
Rhineland-Palatinate 2050. It was funded by the
Entwicklungsagentur
Rheinland-Pfalz e.V. and is a joint work by
the department of Stadtsoziologie
at the TU Kaiserslautern, DFKI,
and Fraunhofer
IESE. I was providing DFKI's contributions.
The
project SmartRegio
aimed at exploiting heterogeneous mass data in
urban contexts in order to offer better services
especially for local
SMEs. DFKIs focus was on analyzing social media
contributions with spatial dimensions, and on the
provision of data mining technologies.
SmartRegio was funded by
the Bundesministerium
für Wirtschaft und Energie
(Federal
Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy) from
12/2014 until 06/2017.
I was
leading the
project NEXUS
that aimed at supporting the adaptive information
exchange in collaborative settings, with a focus
on aggregating and integrating a variety of data
sources from the social and semantic web. NEXUS was funded by the Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (Federal Ministry of Education and Research) from
12/2011 until 11/2014.
The aim
of the
project RADAR
(Resource Annotation
and Delivery for
Mobile Augmented Reality Services)
was the development of an infrastructure to
contribute, organize and annotate multimedia
resources that can be used within mobile augmented
reality services. By focusing on design and
usability, the use of open standards for the
integration of all established types of multimedia
content, reusability of contents, and
integrability of services in other contexts, we
established an open ecosystem that allows to
make the abundance of location-dependent digital
resources available in mobile augmented reality
services. Besides adapters for existing services
like Aloqa, Junaio, Layar or Wikitude, a new personalized and
location-based mobile augmented reality service
has also been developed. RADAR was sponsored
by
the Stiftung
Rheinland-Pfalz für Innovation from
03/2010 until 02/2011, and I was the project initiator and leader.
The goal
of iGreen was
to realize a distributed network of location-based
services and knowledge sources (i.e. enabling the
integration of decentralized, highly heterogeneous
public/private information sources) relevant for
the domain of agriculture. iGreen also aimed at
providing a framework for the development of mobile
decision support systems. Within iGreen, I was
responsible for the planned expert network
which was based on
the ALOE
system. iGreen was sponsored by the German Federal
Ministry of Education and Research BMBF from 2009
to 2012.
Within
the Cluster of Excellency "Center for
Mathematical and Computational Modelling"
(CMCM), I was
responsible for DFKI's contributions to the
development of a Web of Models. The focus
in our sub-project WeWoM
was on using social media to build up a sustainable
community, and to enable a social Web of
Models. Therefore, ALOE
was used as a basis. CMCM started in
2008 and was funded by the Government of
Rhineland-Palatinate until 2013.
The objective of the European Project MACE
(Metadata for Architectural Contents in Europe) was
to create a common infrastructure for enriching and retrieving educational
contents about architecture in Europe. It was co-funded by the EU
eContentPlus program from 09/2006 until 10/2009. DFKI was partner in the
consortium, and I was coordinating our contributions.
I was leader of the project C-LINK (Conference Link).
The aim of C-LINK was the development of a web based tool to support conference attendees.
With C-LINK, users can share papers and presentations, generate
individual conference schedules, get personalized recommendations
to find interesting events and attendees, etc. C-LINK is based on the social resource sharing platform
ALOE and serves as a showcase for DFKI technologies (e.g., the information
retrieval system DynaQ). It was used during
the KI 2008 (the Annual German
Conference on Artificial Intelligence) in Kaiserslautern and
the ICDAR 2009 (the International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition) in Barcelona. C-LINK was an internal DFKI project funded from 03/2008 until 12/2008.
I was also leader of the project CoMet (Collaborative Sharing
of Resources and Metadata), where we developed an open platform to share
metadata about arbitrary types of digital resources. Access to the system was possible via a web interface with a lot of Web2.0 functionalities, and a
SOAP API allowed the integration into different contexts and applications. CoMet was sponsored by the Stiftung Rheinland-Pfalz für Innovation from 04/2007 until 03/2008.
Topics
of the project AIM
(Adaptive, Interactive, and Multi-Perspective Document
Management & Knowledge Navigation) were the design and implementation of a
framework for the support of adaptive, interactive and multiperspective
knowledge management as well as the application of this framework to different
domains. AIM was part of the DASMOD
(Dependable Adaptive Systems and Mathematical Modeling) Cluster of Excellence
at the University of Kaiserslautern (funded by the Government of
Rhineland-Palatinate). Participating research groups were the DFKI "Knowledge
Management" group and the Fraunhofer ITWM "Adaptive Systems" section. I'm
responsible for DFKI's part... [Wiki]
At the University of
Kaiserslautern, I was part of the Knowledge-Based Systems Group
staff from 2003 to 2006, contact person for several lectures and supervising several works of students. [teaching activities]
The aim of the project BibTutor (sponsored by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research BMBF) was to develop an electronic tutor system for research in information sources. The focus of my work in this project was on metadata (especially for information modules), user modeling and adaptivity.
CityGuide Mobile is an interactive and innovative navigation system for pedestrians requiring just a standard mobile phone or handheld computer. The project was initiated by DFKI and won the multimedia contest 2003/04 of the federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate "Media in Motion". The system was developed in the face of the FIFA World Cup 2006™ in a consortium together with the City of Kaiserslautern and Webnologic Internet Systems. DFKI was consortium leader, and I was the project director.
I was also project leader for DFKI's 2nd activity in conjunction with the FIFA World Cup 2006™: For the City of Kaiserslautern, DFKI was presenting "AIBO Soccer" events in the face of the FIFA World Cup 2006™. Amongst others, the AIBOs played in Berlin, New York and Yokohama! AIBOs are ordinary Sony Roboter dogs, and they are equipped with the software of the RoboCup World Champion 2004 and 2005: The German Team. Special thanks to the Center for Computing Technologies (TZI) in Bremen for enabling these events by support and training!
DaMiT (Data Mining Tutor) was research and development project sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) from 2001 to 2003. DaMiT abbreviates "Data Mining Tutor" and is an Internet-based Intelligent Tutoring System for the domain of knowledge discovery and data mining. In DaMiT, I was responsible for the authoring tool and the conception of the Learning Object architecture and metadata.
