The course is going to be held in English only (almost).
The practical part of the course addresses development of user interaction in mobile applications (under Android).
For certification it is expected that participants elaborate a term paper or a project.
The project should be implemented preferably as teamwork and should address the framework of the practical part of the course. Each team should have a member responsible for the user interaction and workflow design. This member also evaluates the interface and develops alternatives for the existing interface (just sketching!).
We encourage you to link your project with mobile travel planning platform and EXIST initiative of Christian Effertz called a2bme
There are five possible projects in this context:
1) Natural language interaction (scenarios of natural language use in the context of travel planning) (research and/or programming)
2) Location context determination via IP Localization , time zone lookup etc. – the whereabout of the user. (focus on programming)
3) How to structure User Interfaces in context of route planning or travel planning? (research and/or design)
4) Concepts and scenarios to define travel profiles and user preferences. (research, (interaction) concept and/or design)
5) Ways and methods to visualize of travel requests (from, to, when) and routes on maps in context of time. (research and/or design)
For all these projects, you may contact Christian Effertz at any time at his office (room F2.04) or by mail (christian@a2bme.com).
The term paper (about 10 pages) shall present one of the following topics (list not completed yet):
Each term paper needs to be presented and discussed in a 10-minutes presentation .
Each project needs to be presented as well. Length of presentation: 10 minutes for each team member.
Term papers/presentations/projects can be written/held in German.
Term papers/projects need to be registered by mail: k.englmeier@fh-sm.de, cc to: christian@a2bme.com (please name all team members with their student ids)
Please register your project/term paper before May 14, 2012
For programming in Android we recommend the following introduction:
