Projects

Development of self-adaptive e-learning platforms (DAMIT)
with an adaption on

• learners,
• existing content,
• learning story,
• learning process,
• learning environment and
• learning didactics

with flexible scenarios for authors of learning packages.

System for simple acquisition, storage and management of information systems (SESAM)
providing web-based services and enabling in automatic adaptation of the system and the screen play to the roles and rights of the actual user, to the current workflow and to the currently available and accessible data.

Application in projects:

• e-Democracy-supporter for intelligent management of meeting, documents used during meetings, and communication among meeting parties and partners for representatives, inhabitants and everybody interested in current polical life
• Content management system enabling in automatic renowal and recharging of large websites depending on the change of the basic data

• Electronic companion and journal with adaptation and reminder facilities
• Video, cinema and radio on demand and on profile
• Internet on passion, profile of interest and last recently usage history

Presentation and implementations in the set-top-box system Cottbus interaktiv

Rapid Application and Database Development (RADD)
on the basis of an extended entity relationship model HERM
aiming in developing a prototype workbench with components for

• automatic adaptation to the user and to the specific properties of the application,
• natural language acquisition of structure, semantics, functionality, and interaction,
• intelligent acquisition of integrity constraints,
• conceptual optimization and conceptual tuning, and
• transformation of/from HERM-schemata to/from relational, network, hierarchical and DBPL schemata
