Social Network Mining for Analysis of Social Phenomena
(2019)
In den letzten zehn Jahren wurde eine große Menge an Daten über menschliche Interaktionen verfügbar, die entweder aus sozialen Online-Netzwerken stammen oder von tragbaren Geräten erfasst wurden. Die klassischen Sozialwissenschaften bieten keine Instrumente für die Durchführung datengetriebener Forschung mit solchen Daten. Die computerorientierte Sozialwissenschaft (Computational Social Science) versucht, diese Lücke zu schließen, indem sie Methoden für Data-Mining und maschinelles Lernen zur Nutzung der Daten aus ...

Same Same But Different? A Two-Foci Perspective on Trust in Information Systems
(ScholarSpace, 2020-01-07)
Trust is one of the most important factors driving the adoption and use of information systems. The goal of this paper is to provide a first evaluation of a conceptual piece claiming a) that users distinguish between their trust in an IS and the provider of this IS and b) that both kinds of trust are important for the success sustainable success of IS providers. To evaluate the claims, a research model is developed and evaluated using data of 234 students during the introduction of a new IS at an European university. ...

Accelerating Entrepreneurial Decision-Making Through Hybrid Intelligence
(2020)
Purpose: Previous studies revealed that around 75 percent of all start-ups fail at an early stage. One main reason for this tremendous failure rate is that entrepreneurs are typically confronted with high levels of uncertainty about the viability of their proposed business idea. Following this argumentation, entrepreneurial decision-making can be defined as complex decision-making problem under both risk and uncertainty. While risk includes quantifiable probabilities, uncertainty describes situations where neither ...

Training in virtuellen Feuerwehreinsätzen
(2022)
Im Zuge des digitalen Wandels und verdeutlicht durch die Corona‑Pandemie, ist allgemein ein steigender Bedarf an E‑Learning Lösungen für Aus‑ und Fortbildungszwecke zu beobachten. So ist auch die Feuerwehr in Deutschland daran interessiert, Präsenzzeiten an Ausbildungszentren effizienter zu gestalten und Freiwilligen Feuerwehren alternative Fortbildungsmöglichkeiten für mangelnde Ressourcen zur Verfügung zu stellen. Serious Games bieten die Möglichkeit Sachverhalte interaktiv sowie mittels Virtuelle Realität (VR) ...

Engaging Learners in Online Video Lectures with Dynamically Scaffolding Conversational Agents
(Association for Information Systems, 2020)
Online education creates new opportunities for learners, which has led to sharply increasing enrollment in the last few years. Despite these benefits, past research shows that the lack of individual interaction with educators creates low learner engagement that leads to high attrition rates, which remains a major challenge in the field. Dynamically scaffolding conversational agents built into online video lectures promise to address this problem by individually interacting with learners, similar to educators’ scaffolding ...

Classifying Smart Personal Assistants: An Empirical Cluster Analysis
(University of Hawaii at Manoa, Hamilton Library, ScholarSpace, 2019)
The digital age has yielded systems that increasingly reduce the complexity of our everyday lives. As such, smart personal assistants such as Amazon’s Alexa or Apple’s Siri combine the comfort of intuitive natural language interaction with the utility of personalized and situation-dependent information and service provision. However, research on SPAs is becoming increasingly complex and opaque. To reduce complexity, this paper introduces a classification system for SPAs. Based on a systematic literature review, a ...

Towards Empowering Educators to Create their own Smart Personal Assistants
(ScholarSpace, 2020)
Despite a growing body of research about the design and use of Smart Personal Assistants such as Amazon’s Alexa or Google’s Assistant, little is known about their ability to help educators offering individual support in large-scale learning environments. Smart Personal Assistant ecosystems empower educators to develop their own agents without deep technological knowledge. The objective of this paper is to design and validate a method that helps educators to create Smart Personal Assistants as learning tutors. Using ...

Not All Reviews are Equal - a Literature Review on Online Review Helpfulness
(Association for Information Systems, 2019)
The amount of online reviews is growing significantly. Between 2014 and 2017, the number of reviews for TripAdvisor grew by 300% and for Yelp by 208%. However, not all online reviews are equally valuable. Some reviews are perceived to be more helpful or trustworthy then others. Hence, plethora of scholars have investigated the role of online reviews and researched factors and characteristics determining its helpfulness. Nevertheless, mixed findings were found. Consequently, the purpose of our paper is to present a ...

Towards A Taxonomy of Text Mining Features
(Association for Information Systems, 2019)
Recently, text mining has received special attention from both researchers and practitioners, since it enables the development of intelligent and automated services. Text mining has been influenced by different disciplines like computer science, statistics, computational linguistics and library and information sciences. However, text mining features that evolved in one particular discipline are often unknown or rarely used in the other disciplines. No scientific feature framework exits which facilitates costly feature ...

MOCCAA - MObile Cloud Computing AdaptAble
(2019-08)
The primary objective of Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) is the support of resource-constrained mobile devices by means of Cloud or nearby computing resources. In general, this is achieved by outsourcing or offloading computational intensive tasks of mobile applications. This allows, for instance, to virtually extend the processing power of mobile devices and, indirectly, to save battery life. In case remote resources are not available or the communication link is broken, still a local execution is possible.
The ...
