Research focus areas
This page contains automatically translated content.
The department focuses on three main areas of research: (1) the responsible design and use of (2) trustworthy information systems and platforms, (3) which are based on emerging technologies.
The specialist area focuses in particular on information systems and platforms that are based on internet-based and emerging technologies. These include, for example, artificial intelligence, cloud, fog and edge computing and distributed ledger technology. Emerging technologies are new and relatively fast-growing technologies that are characterized by a certain degree of coherence and have the potential to have a significant impact on socio-economic domains (see Rotolo et al., 2015). However, the most important effects lie in the future and are therefore still uncertain in the development phase. Such new technologies are therefore often associated with great uncertainty on the one hand, but usually have great potential on the other. They therefore offer fertile ground for new research work.
