DIVERSENTA - Gender and cultural diversity in software development

GENDER AND CULTURAL DIVERSITY IN SOFTWARE ENGINEERING AS THE BASIS OF SUCCESSFUL DIGITALIZATION

Digitalization and the technological revolution have fundamentally changed the working world in many industries. Media competence, i.e. familiarity with digital technologies, can accelerate careers – both at the workplace and in education. For example, media competence is a basic prerequisite for promotion to management positions. While the gender gap in IT is slowly closing, women also come off worse than men on average in media competence.  more about this project

Fintech - Technology-driven business models in the financial service industry

DIGITAL DISRUPTION AND BUSINESS MODELS IN THE FINTECH INDUSTRY – GERMANY AND THE USA COMPARED

In the USA and in Germany, strong growth of technology-driven business models in the financial service industry has been observed for around 5 years. But the cooperation between the so-called fintechs and established companies has not yet been the subject of much research. The first research support came in 2016 in the form of a project sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Finance.  more about this project

FRACMO - Determining space-filling curves

DETERMINATION OF ALL SPACE-FILLING CURVES FOR SIMPLE LINDEN MAYER SYSTEMS OF SMALLER ORDERS

Monster curves are fractal objects that, by repeating their construction process, reach every point of a surface and completely fill the surface. Prof. Jörg Arndt in the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Precision Engineering, Information Technology (efi) of Nuremberg Tech has been researching these space-filling curves since 2013. In the project, different families of such fractal curves were determined very successfully by means of computer searches.  more about this project

FRACMO - Determination of fractal enveloping space

DETERMINATION OF FRACTAL ENVELOPING SPACE REGIONS FOR FAMILIES OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL CURVES

Monster curves are fractal objects that, by repeating their construction process, reach every point of a surface and completely fill the surface. Prof. Jörg Arndt in the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Precision Engineering, Information Technology (efi) of Nuremberg Tech has been researching these space-filling curves since 2013.  more about this project

Learning Lab - Digitally supported teaching and learning

THE LEARNING LAB – ENABLING EXPERIENCE OF DIGITALLY SUPPORTED TEACHING AND LEARNING

Teaching and learning are changing in the course of digitalization. New opportunities are opened up by mobile terminal devices, the social web, and open educational resources. Participating and benefiting from these requires new socio-technological skills – both on the part of the students and on the part of the teachers, particularly in relation to the design of new teaching concepts.  more about this project

OHMeta Runner - Autonomous model vehicles

AUTONOMOUSLY DRIVING MODEL VEHICLES BASED ON EXPLAINABLE META LEARNING CLASSIFIERS

The development of software systems for autonomous driving must meet a high and constantly developing standard in order to satisfy socially acceptable expectations in the future. Machine learning (ML) techniques made the realization of the vision of autonomous driving possible. Long-term successes in ML have been achieved through meta learning.  more about this project

Technology acceptance - Acceptance of technologies

ACCEPTANCE OF TECHNOLOGIES – PROTAGONIST CONSTELLATIONS AND FRAMES IN THE DISCUSSION OF INDUSTRY 4.0

Innovations and technologies have crucial significance for high-tech locations and for a national economy such as Germany in general. Their success largely depends on functional communication, both in the media and by companies, as well as on acceptance of the technology by the population. In order to guarantee this, it is necessary to conduct surveys on the development of discourse and on interpretative patterns, which can be used to derive ‘instruction manuals’ for successful communication.  more about this project

ZV Diversity - Diversity-friendly digitally supported teaching

DIVERSITY TARGET AGREEMENT: DEVELOPING SKILLS FOR DIVERSITY-FRIENDLY, DIGITALLY SUPPORTED TEACHING

Digitally supported teaching offers versatile opportunities to contribute to opening the university up to heterogeneous target groups and to the personalization of learning (diversity). For example, content can be presented more tangibly and processes better illustrated using videos. This enables more flexible learning according to individual possibilities and preferences.  more about this project
