Personalized Environments and Collaborative Systems (PEEC)

The research group PEEC deals intensively with topics related to Human-Computer Interaction, primarily Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) and personalization on the web and beyond.

The focus around CSCW includes comprehensive qualitative and quantitative analysis and computer-based support of different cooperation and collaboration settings (remote, hybrid or co-located),as well as conception and prototypical implementation of collaborative environments. The focus on personalisation includes the conception, prototypical implementation and evaluation of adaptive systems (primarily on the web) that take into account the individual requirements of users.

The PEEC group works intensively with methods related to Human-Centered Design (e.g., Contextual Design, prototyping, user studies) and comprehensive analytical frameworks for the elicitation of requirements and the conception and evaluation of solutions on the one hand, and with latest web technologies for implementation on the other.
