Reminder Blockseminarankündigung WiSe 2023/2024: Emerging Digital Technologies (Master)
21.09.2023
Liebe Studierende,
Prof. Dr. Anna M. Oberländer, Prof. Dr. Niklas Kühl und Dr. Tobias Guggenberger bieten zu Beginn des kommenden Semesters für Masterstudierende wieder das Seminar „Emerging Digital Technologies“ an.
Kurzbeschreibung
The seminar “Emerging Digital Technologies” is designed to provide students with an opportunity to build up necessary theoretical and methodological skills needed to conceptualize, conduct, and communicate the latest insights on different Emerging Digital Technologies. In a block course, we will familiarize students with the essential basic concepts on specific topics in modern digital technologies. While selecting a new problem is a fundamental anchor for research’s relevance, a research’s ability to provide rigorous results depends on a toolkit of theories and methods. Therefore, we will also address the fundamentals of different techniques and approaches in the block course.
In this context, theories provide the researcher with a sound basis by summarizing current knowledge and allowing for a precise investigation and definition of their topic’s underlying phenomenon. They also provide the students with a theoretical lens to investigate their problems from the perspective they are most interested in. Complementary to this, methods afford the student with the ability to produce reliable results, which allow them to derive both meaningful and trustworthy conclusions. This way, they can make sure that their results are not only entertaining but also scientifically valid. To apply the lessons learned in the block course, the students will write a “Research in Progress Paper”.
This semester we will focus on Artificial Intelligence (AI), Blockchain technology, and the Internet of Things (IoT). These have been a highly popular topic in research and industry in the last years, and research on the technologies individually and their convergence has emerged. The block course will give a decent overview of the basics as well as the latest developments and therefore prepare the students for conducting meaningful research in this area. Also related topics are also very well suitable for the seminar papers, e.g., Self-Sovereign Identity or Platform Economy.
