The increasing volume of research paper submissions poses a significant challenge to the traditional academic peer-review system, leading to an overwhelming workload for reviewers. This study explores the potential of integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) into the peer-review process to enhance efficiency without compromising effectiveness. We f...

Writing a successful computer science bachelor’s thesis requires extensive advisor support. This need for guidance is especially pronounced given the complexity and technical nature of computer science, where students struggle with scope definition and task planning for these first-time major projects. Large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4 and Cl...

Concept maps are widely used in education and business. They are reckoned to stimulate the generation of ideas, facilitate requirement elicitation, and serve as the first step in ontology building, and as such, they are used by a wide variety of practitioners, including designers, engineers, instructors, and others, to organize and structure knowle...

Research Question (RQ) Scoping refers to defining and refining a research question before conducting research. This step is crucial for ensuring the relevance and focus of the study, particularly in Design Science Research (DSR), where problems and solutions develop gradually. Literature reviews are a traditional method for comprehending the proble...

Teachers have successfully applied concept maps in educational settings. In particular, concept maps have been recognized as an effective tool for diagnosing students' misunderstandings. Frequently, students create concept maps from reading materials that teachers provide to develop the necessary background to draw the map. However, when it comes t...

A significant amount of research project funding is spent creating customized annotation systems, re-inventing the wheel once and again, developing the same common features. In this paper, we present WACline, a Software Product Line to facilitate customization of browser extension Web annotation clients. WACline reduces the development effort by re...

The accumulation of the design knowledge (DK) resulting from Design Science Research (DSR) requires other DSR researchers to appropriate, use, evaluate, modify, and/or extend prior DSR artifacts. Unfortunately, much DK (especially software artifacts) is never appropriated by other researchers for further DSR activity. The lack of take-up of DSR out...
