Publikation Perspectives on human-computer interaction and culture(Universität Basel, 2022) Linxen, Sebastian; Opwis, Klaus; Sturm, ChristianDue to the global distribution of technology and its use in highly culturally diverse settings, an understanding of culture, in particular the connection between culture and technology use, is becoming more relevant for distributors and developers of such technology, in order to survive in a dynamic market environment and to be able to offer products that are tailored to the requirements of the specific end user. Therefore, the overarching topic of this thesis is the exploration of the role of culture in human-computer interaction (HCI) as a key factor to understanding the user. This thesis sheds light on the role of culture and socio-cultural systems and their multi-layered manifestations in human-computer interaction. The related research consists of two main strands: The first strand (manuscript 1 and 2) focuses primarily on examining the extent to which national culture is considered in HCI studies, and the extent to which subjects from different national settings are part of HCI studies. The key findings of the first strand are that HCI research tends to neglect culture, or, if it is considered, it is mostly treated narrowly, as a single variable that measures national cultures. The restricted cultural perspective becomes further evident when studying the participant samples from the most relevant HCI conference. There was a strong focus on participant samples from countries whose inhabitants tend to be Western, educated, industrialised, rich and democratic (WEIRD) and most of the other countries were clearly underrepresented. The second strand of this thesis (manuscript 3 to 6) centres on the examination of the relationship between HCI and cultural as well as socio-cultural systems, particularly in knowledge-intensive practices. It shows the rich practices of technology appropriation in study settings outside of the typical WEIRD contexts. Furthermore, it explores the manifold, rich and often complex ways in which the use of technology is impacted by structures and practices of cultural systems, and, in the same way, transforms these systems. The results from both strands of enquiry show that the HCI community should consider the diversity of potential technology users in its research and recommendations. Only in this way can technological developments be realised that are globally useful and usable on a broad scale. To support the HCI community on this path, alongside suggestions for further research projects, this thesis presents several detailed recommendations on how to increase diversity and the consideration of cultural aspects in HCI research and the HCI community.11 - Studentische ArbeitPublikation Optimized Computational Diabetes Prediction with Feature Selection Algorithms(2023) Li, Xi; Curiger, Michèle; Dornberger, Rolf; Hanne, Thomas04B - Beitrag KonferenzschriftPublikation Computational Intelligence in Logistik und Supply Chain Management(Springer Gabler, 2023) Hanne, Thomas; Dornberger, RolfPräsentiert den aktuellen Stand der Technik beim Einsatz von Computational Intelligence in der Lieferkette. Behandelt Probleme in den Bereichen Bestands- und Produktionsplanung, Scheduling, Transportplanung.

The model represents the evidence-based coaching practice in different coaching domains by identifying the common elements in the coaching process. We then map the elements of the coaching model with Conversational AI design and development strategies to highlight how an AI coach can be instantiated from the model. We showcase the instantiation through an example use case of an HIV coaching chatbot.04B - Beitrag KonferenzschriftPublikation Domain-specific conceptual modeling. Concepts, methods and ADOxx tools(Springer, 2022) Karagiannis, Dimitris; Lee, Moonkun; Hinkelmann, Knut; Utz, WilfridThis book demonstrates the significance of domain-specific conceptual modeling through new research and development approaches that are manifested in each of the chapters. They include novel modelling methods and tools that emphasize the recent results accomplished and their adequacy to assess specific aspects of a domain.03 - SammelbandPublikation Challenges, opportunities and application fields of quantum computing - an introductory overview(Association Information et Management, 2022) Kech, Benjamin; Schneider, Bettina; Gachnang, Phillip; Azan, WilfridThis paper elaborates on the technology of quantum computing. It is aimed at people new to this field and introduces characteristics of quantum computing along with comparisons to classical computing. Furthermore, the paper describes the challenges and opportunities of quantum computing. In addition, applications have been explored where quantum computing could create value for businesses. The findings include three categories. First, quantum computing might make a difference in simulating nature, which was also the initial idea that led to the invention of quantum computing. Second, quantum computing could benefit the category of machine learning. Last, optimization problems will take advantage of quantum computing. It is concluded that quantum computing is still in its early stages and there are many challenges to overcome ‚ in particular the challenge of error correction. To gain in the foreseeable future from the advantages that quantum computing pledges, more advances in research have to be made to have a fault-tolerant system. A fault-tolerant quantum computer is a promising technology that could create significant value for various branches, such as finance.04B - Beitrag KonferenzschriftPublikation Integrity@Inside - Blockchain-based Whistleblowing(Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz FHNW, 2022) Asprion, Petra; Grieder, Hermann; Grimberg, FrankIntegrity@Inside leverages blockchain technology to prototype a web-based internal reporting channel that is compliant with the new EU Directive 2019/1937.05 - Forschungs- oder ArbeitsberichtPublikation Echtzeit Ressourcendisposition von Personal und Rollmaterial in der Eisenbahnbranche(Innosuisse, 2023) Ehrenthal, Joachim; Hanne, Thomas; Telesko, Rainer; Gachnang, PhillipZu wenig Personal und Rollmaterial, kurzfristig angesagte Arbeiten an der Infrastruktur mit den entsprechenden betrieblichen Behinderungen und Einschränkungen sowie kurzfristig auftretende Störungen prägen zurzeit die Berichterstattung über die Entwicklungen im öffentlichen Verkehr der Schweiz. Es ist absehbar, dass sich diese unbefriedigende Situation über eine längere Zeitspanne kaum massgeblich verbessern wird. Umso wichtiger ist es, vorhandene Ressourcen optimal einzusetzen und den zukünftigen Bedarf an Mitarbeitenden und Rollmaterial in den Griff zu kriegen. Die Fachhochschulen der Ostschweiz (OST) und der Nordwestschweiz FHNW entwickelten mit der Südostbahn (SOB), den luxemburgischen Eisenbahnen (CFL) und der Eisenbahn-Softwareherstellerin Qnamic eine zukunftsweisende Software zur Unterstützung der Eisenbahn-Disposition, um in Echtzeit über situationsspezifische Massnahmenpakete zur Störungsbehebung zu verfügen.05 - Forschungs- oder ArbeitsberichtPublikation Java or Python: which programming language is more suitable for an introductory business IT course?(2021) Pülz, MichaelThis paper is about the question which programming language lends itself better to being the first programming language to learn: Java or Python. In Switzerland, the generation entering university usually has had no preceding contact to programming. This topic has only been introduced lately into the secondary education curriculum. The generation starting their Bachelor programs today (and for at least another five to ten years) usually had no training in programming (Ristic, 2017). From experience, we know that students of the “BSc in Business Information Technology” program struggle primarily with mathematics and programming. About 40-50 % of the students fail one or both of these subjects (even more in programming than in math). Thus, the question arises if the choice of the first programming language (Java for the time being) plays a role in this high failure rate. This paper tries to explore some of these questions. First, an analysis of the currently taught introductory programming languages at universities will be presented. Then, research about the suitability of certain languages as a first tool in undergraduate programs will be summarized (e.g. Alzahrani et al., 2018). Finally, conclusions are drawn, and implementation steps are outlined.06 - PräsentationPublikation BES workshop: 1st workshop on blockchain and enterprise systems(2020) Asprion, PetraOrganizer of the first Workshop on Blockchain and Enterprise System06 - Präsentation
