Our RegioQuest research project is entering the final stretch. Now it’s time to put the finishing touches on the project and ensure its long-term success. In addition to the planned school workshops at the end of March, we would like to invite companies from the South Westphalia region to inform themselves about the current status of the research project, to place job offers, quests and events, and to engage in a friendly exchange about the research project.

We would like to introduce Abirami Basanth: She will be supporting the RegioQuest project as a UX Research Assistant from the first of August. Born in India, Abirami graduated in 2021 from PES University in Bangalore with a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial and Product Design. For a year, Abirami worked in this field in Qatar before moving to Siegen this year to start the HCI master’s program. We are looking forward to working with her and welcome her as a new employee.
Cheerful news again for our research group: the full paper “Reflection on the Octalysis framework as a design and evaluation tool” by Philip Weber, Laura Grönewald and Thomas Ludwig was presented by Philip Weber at the 6th GamiFIN conference (April 26-29).
Within the winter term, our Cyber-Physical Systems research group has gained new members again. As of 01.12.21 we get support from Zain Ali, Nora Hille and Kerstin Salewski.
In autumn, two new research projects kicked off for the Cyber-Physical Systems research group.
The BIMPUT project (running until 2024) is a research project that was successful in the BMBF’s funding line “Handwerk 4.0: digital und innovativ” (Crafts 4.0: digital and innovative) with the aim of introducing and developing digital feedback mechanisms for executing crafts in the construction industry to ensure integration into the BIM lifecycle.
Also the research project RegioQuest (running until 2023) started, which is funded by the NRW Ministry of Labor, Social Affairs and Health within the scope of the South Westphalia Regionale 2025 with resources from the European Social Fund and the REACT-EU initiative. Within the project, location-based and playful approaches are to be developed to raise awareness of the working world in South Westphalia for young people and thus combat the shortage of skilled workers.

Currently we need support with implementation tasks at the Chair of Cyber-Physical Systems. Therefore, we are looking for a SHK/WHB with programming skills. Previous experiences in one or more areas are desirable: App development for Android, front-end development, back-end development, C#, Java, HTML, CSS, Java-/Typescript.
From September 05 to September 08, this year’s “Mensch und Computer” (MuC) took place as a virtual conference under the motto “Moving into a new future”. Fortunately, our research group was able to place one long paper and one short paper, which was awarded by the scientific community of the MuC.
At the beginning of September, our project “RegioQuest” received its third star as part of the Südwestfalen Regionale 2025. This means that it can now finally be implemented. The goal of RegioQuest is to combine location-based services with game elements to make the search for jobs and apprenticeships more interactive and motivating for young people in South Westphalia. We are proud to be able to break new ground with RegioQuest and to make a contribution to counteracting the shortage of skilled workers in South Westphalia.
With the beginning of August, there is very good news for the research group of Cyber-Physical Systems. We welcomed three new faces as of August 1st, 2021: Marco Fries, Nino Bohn and Muhammad Shahzar Khalid join our team for different projects with their individual skills.
