- TextdokumentTowards Designing a User-centric Decision Support System for Predictive Maintenance in SMEs(INFORMATIK 2021, 2021) Kellner, Domenic; Lowin, Maximilian; von Zahn, Moritz; Chen, JohannesIn manufacturing, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) face global competition. In the field of predictive maintenance (PdM), artificial intelligence (AI) helps to prevent machine failures and has the potential to significantly reduce costs and increase process efficiency. Even though PdM has several benefits, it also entails considerable challenges for SMEs, especially when it comes to user interactions. In this short paper, we harness the design science methodology and discuss several problems regarding user interactions with predictive maintenance applications. We incorporate two different literature streams, namely, predictive maintenance and decision support systems. Finally, we present necessary design requirements, principles, features, and propose a research design to further develop and evaluate a user-centric PdM decision support system. Thereby, we contribute to making AI tangible in SMEs.
- KonferenzbeitragTowards GilGPT: an anthropomorphic conversational agent for accessible communication of agricultural research to farmers(45. GIL-Jahrestagung, Digitale Infrastrukturen für eine nachhaltige Land-, Forst- und Ernährungswirtschaft, 2025) Dau, Dominik; Steuck, Paul-FerdinandThe use of generative AI-based conversational agents is becoming increasingly prevalent in the dissemination of knowledge. In the agricultural sector, there is a substantial corpus of scientific literature, yet there is frequently a deficit of accessible syntheses that can effectively disseminate this knowledge. To enhance the accessibility of scientific findings for farmers and researchers, we introduce our anthropomorphically designed Large Language Model based conversational agent, “GilGPT”. Developed as a design science research project, it uses Retrieval Augmented Generation to access scientific literature from a knowledge base. This approach enables a natural language dialogue between scientific publications and farmers. The implementation of an anthropomorphic design is achieved through the utilization of avatars and adaptive language among other techniques. This approach is employed with the objective of enhancing the accessibility of complex scientific content and facilitating the dialogue between research and practice.
- ZeitschriftenartikelWirtschaftsinformatik-Forschung für die Praxis(HMD Praxis der Wirtschaftsinformatik: Vol. 57, No. 2, 2020) Robra-Bissantz, Susanne; Strahringer, SusanneGanz im Sinne der Zeitschrift HMD – Praxis der Wirtschaftsinformatik existiert in Deutschland neben anderen Ausrichtungen auch eine explizit auf Praxisorientierung ausgerichtete Wirtschaftsinformatikforschung. Dieser Beitrag behandelt aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln deren Entwicklungen und Strömungen. Im Mittelpunkt stehen Forschungsmethoden, die Forschung für die Praxis unterstützen. Dies sind insbesondere Methoden der Fallstudienforschung, der Aktionsforschung und der gestaltungsorientierten Forschung in verschiedenen Ausprägungen. Insbesondere diejenigen Methoden, die Forschung gemeinsam mit der Praxis anstreben, benötigen Rahmenbedingungen, die dies ermöglichen. Die gängigsten Kollaborationsformen, ihre Verknüpfung zu Forschungsmethoden, die von den jeweiligen Partnern zu erwartenden Nutzeffekte und Ergebnisse bilden den zweiten Schwerpunkt des Beitrages. Darüber hinaus identifizieren wir weitere Ansatzpunkte, die Forschern Wege aufzeigen, wie die Praxisrelevanz ihrer Forschung gesteigert werden kann. So gibt es methodische Bausteine, die vorhandene Forschungsmethoden um nicht invasive Komponenten ergänzen können, um die Relevanz der Forschungsergebnisse für die Praxis sicherzustellen. Zudem können Forscher auch an der besseren Konsumierbarkeit ihrer Ergebnisse arbeiten und sollten Mut fassen, die üblichen Routinen vergangener Forschung gelegentlich auch zu verlassen. A considerable number of scholars in Germany conduct practice-oriented research that is in line with the aims and scope of the journal “HMD—Praxis der Wirtschaftsinformatik”. This paper looks at this type of research from different perspectives and addresses research methods suitable for conducting research together with practice and suited for producing results applicable in practice. Against this backdrop, we discuss case study research, action research, and different flavors of design-oriented research. However, in order to conduct research together with practice in joint endeavors also organizational requirements have to be considered. We therefore present how collaboration between science and practice can be organized, how these forms of collaboration comply with research methods and what effects and outcomes are to be expected for each of the collaborating parties. Additionally, we identify other starting points that may help scholars in improving the relevance of their research to practice such as methodological building blocks that can be added to research methods non-invasively in order to ensure importance of research results to practitioners. Researchers can also work on making their research more accessible to practitioners. Ultimately, we also want to encourage researchers to sometimes deviate from the dominant and established ways of conducting research and to be open to new, risky, but perhaps more satisfying forms of research.
