We will be at the 21st International Conference on Design Science Research in Information Systems and Technology (DESRIST) 2026

The professorship Digital Transformation will present two contributions at the DESRIST 2026 in Münster, Germany.
A wide panoramic shot of the Prince-Bishop's Palace in Münster, Germany, captured during a soft sunset. The grand Baroque building features a red brick facade contrasted by decorative elements, window frames, and cornices made of light-colored sandstone. A prominent central section houses an ornate entrance and a clock tower topped with a small golden statue. Symmetrical wings extend outward, ending in corner pavilions under dark slate roofs. In the foreground, a wide, light-colored cobblestone path leads directly toward the palace entrance in a straight perspective. The path is bordered by expansive green lawns featuring a few white park benches. Ornate, multi-lamp black streetlights stand at the far left and right edges. The sky above the palace displays a soft gradient ranging from pale orange and yellow at the horizon to a delicate light blue. In the upper right corner, three white logos are displayed: a technical node graphic, the "ERCIS" logo with a dotted map of Europe, and the "Universität Münster" logo. In the lower-left corner, a semi-transparent pinkish gradient overlays the scene, featuring the white text "DESRIST 2026" alongside a stylized, organic coral-like symbol.

Publication of a study on trust repair strategies following privacy breaches in smart home systems

The professorship Digital Transformation published a new study on privacy breaches of smart home providers.
The illustration depicts an abstract concept of networking within a smart home. On a simple white shelf attached to a light gray wall sit four different smart home devices, arranged from left to right: a glowing lightbulb, a white security camera with a black lens, a square white control module or thermostat with a digital display showing "0.0" and a small red button, and a cylindrical black smart speaker. Hovering centrally directly below the shelf is a large, red warning triangle. In the center of this triangle is a white padlock that is cracked vertically down the middle, symbolizing a security breach or vulnerability. In the lower area of the image, there are four blue cloud symbols representing cloud networks. Each cloud contains a dark, stylized house icon. A network of lines connects all these elements: solid blue lines with round nodes lead downwards from the devices on the shelf to the warning triangle. Dotted blue lines also lead from the clouds at the bottom up to this central triangle. A key detail is visible on the right side near the black smart speaker: the connection lines originating from this device feature red nodes instead of blue ones in certain spots, highlighting an acute threat, data leak, or a compromised connection specifically linked to that device. Additionally, partial views of empty white picture frames can be seen on the far left and right edges of the image.

Kick-off Meeting for New MERCUR Research Project on Fairness in Human-Robot Teams

The professorship Digital Transformation kicked off a new project on fairness in human-robot teams at Ruhr University Bochum.
The image shows a group of six people in a bright office standing side by side behind two identical, white, humanoid robots. The two robots in the foreground feature a rounded base that widens at the bottom, slender bodies, articulated arms, and heads with large, pink-glowing eyes, along with a landscape-oriented tablet mounted on each of their chests. Behind them, standing from left to right, are four men and two women: a man in a light blue shirt and dark jeans, a man wearing glasses in a light blue shirt and dark pants, a woman with crossed arms in a black top and wide, light grey pants, a woman in a light beige jacket and white pants, a man in a dark shirt, and a man in a grey sweater. The group is standing in front of a large window with partially closed vertical blinds and a radiator underneath. The room has white walls and a dark, slightly speckled floor, with some cables visible on the ground in the right background.
