Module Coordinator/Lecturers
Study Programmes
Master's degree programme in Information Systems
Project Description
Business Process Management provides an introduction to fundamental concepts, frameworks, models, theories, and methods in process management and covers the operation, improvement, and innovation of business processes. Business Process Management (BPM) is one of the core topics of the degree programme, so the course also provides a basis on which students can choose their electives. The course covers eight primary topics:
- Business process operations
- Business process change
- Strategic alignment
- Business process governance
- Quality management
- Six Sigma
- BPM skills
- Organizational culture
Teaching Method
- The course involves interactive lectures with exercises to integrate theoretical knowledge with practical design and analysis skills.
- The e-learning platform Moodle is used throughout the course to disseminate course material and for information and discussion.
- Case studies are used to discuss the course contents and to train students in using the methods covered.
Learning Results
After successful completion of the course, students will:
- understand the foundations and contextual roots of BPM (e.g., business process re-engineering, total quality management)
- understand the goals of BPM (e.g., time, cost, quality, sustainability)
- understand the core components of holistic BPM approaches (strategic alignment, governance, methods, technologies, people, culture)
- understand the key principles of good BPM

Master's degree programme in Information Systems
Project Description
Autonomous design toolas are fundamentally changing how designers work across various industries. Autonomous design tools make independent design decisions and in, some cases, execute entire design processes. They employ technologies typically associated with artificial intelligence, including machine learning, pattern recognition, meta-heuristics, and evolutionary algorithms.
Autonomous design tools allow for the generation of a variety of diverse design artifacts, including next-generation computer chips, software for specific domains, three-dimensional virtual worlds, and large amounts of content for video games and feature films. The applications for such autonomous design tools are also expanding to other industries, such as mechanical engineering, aerospace, and architecture.
Instead of creating artifacts by directly manipulating their representations, designers select tools, decide on design parameters, set values for these parameters, and evaluate and learn from the analysis of the results the tools produce. Design work in such situations involves intense interaction with autonomous tools. Designers need to be mindful of the logic, capabilities, and limitations of the tools, and the algorithms these tools employ, and find ways to make sense of and deal with the often unanticipated outputs of such tools.
The course addresses this increasingly important role of autonomous design tools by

Designers need to be mindful of the logic, capabilities, and limitations of the tools, and the algorithms these tools employ, and find ways to make sense of and deal with the often unanticipated outputs of such tools.
The course addresses this increasingly important role of autonomous design tools by
- discussing the conceptual foundations of autonomous design tools;
- discussing how autonomous design tools change the nature of work and the role of human designers;
- analyzing examples of using autonomous tools in design practice;
- providing hands-on experience in agent-based modelling for students to simulate the behavior of these tools; and
- providing hands-on experience in using autonomous design tools for the design of virtual worlds.
Teaching Method
- The module involves interactive lectures with exercises to integrate theoretical knowledge with practical design and analysis skills.
- The e-learning platform Moodle is used throughout the course to disseminate course material and for information and discussion.
- Contemporary scientific publications from Information Systems, Management, and Computer Science are discussed in class.
- The NetLogo software is used to model and simulate autonomous design agents.
- Further software tools may be used throughout class.
Learning Results
After successful completion of the course, students will:
- understand the main concepts, theories, and methods related to autonomous design tools
- be able to analyze how autonomous design tools change work processes
- be able to develop agent-based models for simulating autonomous design tools

Project Description
Die Pandemie hat uns in vielerlei Hinsicht gefordert, sei dies
zwischenmenschlich, politisch, wirtschaftlich oder kulturell. Dabei
gerieten wichtige Themen aus dem Fokus. Wir wissen, dass wir unseren
Planeten zerstören, wenn wir so weiterwirtschaften wie bislang. Wir
wissen, dass wir auf Kosten der Zukunft unserer Kinder leben. Was
hindert uns daran, unser Leben so zu verändern, dass dies nicht mehr
der Fall ist? Die Zukunft geschieht nicht einfach, nein, sie wird heute
gemacht. Daher haben wir für die Campus Gespräche den Titel «Utopie
jetzt» gewählt. Wir befragen hochkarätige Forschende, Intellektuelle,
Expert innen und Experten. Diese stehen im Zentrum des Abends, an
dem es im Anschluss an die jeweiligen Referate Fragen seitens der
Moderation und des Publikums gibt.
