Open Web Meeting BERLIN

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Starting in November we will investigate the matter of Social Media Mining in Berlin. Therefore Kaiserslautern and the new Berlin office of DFKI will be the sites where we conduct this research. The move to Berlin helps a lot to get into closer personal contact to other scientific and commercial players over there.

We will join the 1st Open Web Meetup at Goldberg Bar co-organised by Alex Korth of DAI-Lab and Cityfinger.

Urban Sync: Reality Mining of Sound and Emotion

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

I am off for a Short Term Research Mission on Reality Mining. I will collect multimodal sensor streams including audio, GHz traffic, GPS and physiological data. The data gathering takes place outside the lab following the tradition of ethnographic research and combining it with reality mining.

More details about the project are documented in the dedicated weblog http://urbansync.wordpress.com.

The mission is funded by the EU under COST-ONLINE_STSM-IC0601-3125.
