Smart Applications & Web of Needs
The Research Studio Smart Applications Technologies in Vienna is scientifically managed by Ao. Prof. Dr. Christian Huemer and operationally by DI Florian Kleedorfer. It is one of six Research Studios of the RSA FG.
Smart Applications Technologies – SAT works on personalized recommendation systems as well as Machine Learning & Natural Language Processing applications.
Current research in the Research Studio SAT focuses on the needs of all market participants under the theme “Web of Needs”. The goal is to create an open system in which offers and needs are published as equal objects and automatic matching services find the appropriate counterpart. In this way, even for more complex and interdependent needs – such as a flight and hotel for a vacation – suitable solutions are to be found largely automatically.
The focus is entirely on the needs of the customers. We enable them to express these in a machine-processable way and provide the infrastructure to guide them automatically to the available offers.
By developing intuitive profiling and personalization tools, the Research Studio SAT provides target-oriented support to companies and users alike, working with them to develop approaches, tools and concepts for personalizing individual online activities. Methods of psychological usability and interaction design ensure that the content really reaches the users.
SMEs and start-ups trust the competence and experience of the team of experts at Research Studio SAT and use this partnership to increase their innovation potential. Companies such as Ericsson, VeriSign, Wikifolio, Diagnosia, iJoule, the travel portal Tripwolf, the film portal Flimmit and many more are among its customers.
