Multimedia Information Systems (MIS)
Welcome to the MIS (Multimedia Information Systems) research group of the Faculty of Computer Science!
Our research activities focus on multimedia information systems and special topics in IT security, and we are involved in several national and international projects.
The teaching activities of our research group mainly take place in the context of the studies in Computer Science (Informatik), Media Informatics (Medieninformatik), and Business Informatics (Wirtschaftinformatik). Students are encouraged to actively participate in our research activities during their studies (see Open Topics for Practical Courses, Theses).
Multimedia content is ubiquitous on the Web, resulting in a need for intelligent, often distributed systems that enable efficient and secure information encoding, management, and retrieval.
Our research group aims to bridge the gap between (human and non-human) agents, multimedia and information technologies, and security management. This is also reflected in our commitment to teaching that is grounded in both research and best practices observed in the industry. The courses we offer cover various aspects stemming from and related to the above domains - including, for example, current and historical multimedia standards and trends, information security and relevant laws, multimedia content production, (database) system design and modeling, and practical applications thereof.
