Fighting crimes with computer-based visual analytics
The aim of the "VALCRI" project is to create a visual analytics-based reasoning and sense-making capability for criminal intelligence. "VALCRI" will develop and integrate advanced user interface technologies with powerful data analytics software to extract meaningful information from very large and diverse datasets, so that the analyst can quickly reach effective and justifiable conclusions. Professor Daniel A. Keim from Konstanz is part of this EU-funded project.
Research Training Group
Explorative Analysis and Visualization of Large Information Spaces
The Graduiertenkolleg (Research Training Group) aims to continue international cooperation and education for doctoral researchers currently working in the fields of science, technology and engineering. It provides junior researchers in these fields with the opportunity to conduct innovative research and to pursue a doctorate in Computer and Information Science.
The Research Training Group focuses on the topic of "Explorative Analysis and Visualization of Large Information Spaces", which is closely related to the research interests and areas of specialisation cultivated in the Department of Computer and Information Science at large. The theoretical and practical aspects of computer and information science are given equal scope in this programme.
Light Field Imaging and Analysis
Professor Bastian Goldlücke’s research, which is funded by an ERC starting grant, is on light field imaging and analysis, image optimisation and 4D light fields. Starting grants are provided by the ERC (European Research Council) in order to support outstanding researchers.
Understanding the implications of colonization with algorithms
The ERC (European Research Council) has approved a “Synergy Grant” worth 15 million euros for the new and transregional research project “NEXUS 1492”, which explores the effects of early colonization in the Caribbean, generating new insights into its indigenous populations along the way. The Konstanz computer scientist Professor Ulrik Brandes receives funding in the amount of € 2.4m in the context of the Dutch-German collaboration for his research into networks.
