Chair of information Service Systems

The Chair of Information Systems for the Service Industry at Saarland University focuses on the development and management of data-driven services as well as the use of artificial intelligence methods in areas such as industrial manufacturing, healthcare, wellness, and sports, among others. Under the leadership of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Wolfgang Maaß, the chair investigates how the application of experimental design methods in combination with distributed data analytic approaches leads to adaptive service designs and innovative business solutions. In cooperation with leading research and industry partners, this research is conducted in both fundamental and applied research projects. The research results are applied and validated in industrial projects of the Smart Service Engineering (SSE) research department at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI).
