Location & approach

via car

The campus of TU Dortmund University is located near the freeway junction Dortmund West, where the Sauerland line A45 crosses the Ruhr expressway B1/A40. The Dortmund-Eichlinghofen exit on the A45 leads to the South Campus, the Dortmund-Dorstfeld exit on the A40 leads to the North Campus. The university is signposted at both exits. It is best to park in the large parking lot on Otto-Hahn-Straße.

via train and bus

The "Dortmund Universität" S-Bahn station is located directly on the North Campus. From there, the S-Bahn line S1 runs every 15 or 30 minutes to Dortmund main station and in the opposite direction to Düsseldorf main station via Bochum, Essen, and Duisburg. In addition, the university can be reached by bus lines 445, 447, and 462. Timetable information can be found on the homepage of the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Ruhr, and DSW21 also offer an interactive route network map.

via H-Bahn

One of the landmarks of the TU Dortmund University is the H-Bahn. Line 1 runs every 10 minutes between Dortmund Eichlinghofen and the Technology Center via Campus South and Dortmund University S, while Line 2 commutes every 5 minutes between Campus North and Campus South. It covers this distance in two minutes.

via airplane

From Dortmund Airport, the AirportExpress takes just over 20 minutes to Dortmund Central Station and from there to the university by S-Bahn. A wider range of international flight connections is offered by Düsseldorf Airport, about 60 kilometers away, which can be reached directly by S-Bahn from the university's train station.

We are at DESRIST 2025!

DESRIST 2025

Two full papers from the Chair of Enterprise Computing have been accepted at DESRIST

The International Conference on Design Science Research in Information Systems and Technology (DESRIST) is a prestigious conference in information systems, ranked "B" in VHB JOURQUAL 4. In the CORE ranking it was last ranked 2018 as "A". DESRIST 2025 will take place from 02.06.25 to 04.06.25 in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Alexander van der Staay and Pauline Speckmann will each present their papers:

van der Staay, A., Fischer, R., Wischnewski, M., Poitz, K. & Janiesch, C. (2025). "Reflective Design Theorizing with User Interviews: A Case Study for AI Energy Labels"

The paper extends the Design Science Research (DSR) methodology and discusses the use of user interviews and grounded theory in extracting design knowledge from completed IT artifacts that were created in a DSR-agnostic way. The methodological contribution is demonstrated using energy labels for AI models, which are intended to simplify the communication of important AI model properties (accuracy, energy consumption, etc.).

Speckmann, P., Nadj, M. & Janiesch, C. (2025). "Interactive Explainable Intelligent Systems: Requirements, Design Principles, and Prototypical Implementation"

This paper presents design principles (DPs) for interactive explainable intelligent systems, which aim in particular to strengthen user agency. Five different user groups are considered and first mappings of relevant reference methods are proposed. Through the instantiation of the principles in a prototype and its subsequent evaluation, valuable practical insights could be gained, which will be further addressed in a second DSR iteration in the future.

We look forward to presenting our research and exchanging ideas with the global information systems community at DESRIST!
