VSR at World Developer Congress 2024
Our team member Tobias Münch visited last week the World Developer Congress 2024 in Berlin and presented 'Is the Web Ready for Voice User Interfaces?' at this vibrant event. The conference, a dynamic blend of the old CeBIT with booths and talks, feels more like a developer's party, providing a fantastic opportunity to connect with 15,000 attendees and tech leaders from companies like Google and id Software.
Tobias's talk focused on the transformative potential of voice user interfaces (VUIs) for people with disabilities, health issues, or working in jobs requiring hand-free interaction. He introduced the Web Speech API with a small 'voice assistant' demonstration, showcasing its practical applications and highlighted research projects like: the Conversational Web from Milano University, led by Maristella Matera's group, and the ReactGenie Project from Stanford University, spearheaded by Yang and his PhD project.
The audience's engagement was incredible, sparking many exciting questions and discussions. It's clear that VUIs are generating significant interest and enthusiasm, promising a more accessible and intuitive web experience for all.

VSR at Developer Week 2024
Our team member Tobias Münch participated in the industry event Developer Week 2024 (DWX) in Nürnberg. He presented the pros and cons of asynchronous communication patterns when creating web applications such as long polling, Server-Sent Events, and Web Sockets. He aimed to empower the audience to choose the correct pattern in each situation. Therefore, he transferred some of his practical and academic work about the web to industry, which took place as a knowledge transfer from science to industry. The speakers and attendees discussed various aspects of creating valuable software in productive environments at the conference. Some topics covered were .net MAUI, the usage of generative AI, various web frameworks such as React and Angular, team dynamics, and entrepreneurship. The keynote from Prof. Dr. Alexander Pretschnet from TU Munich addresses how generative AI will influence the work of software engineers. It was insightful and raised several new questions about the work of web engineers.

VSR at ICWE 2024 Conference
Our Team presented multiple publications at the International Conference of Web Engineering 2024 (ICWE 2024) which took place in Finland from the 17th to the 20th of June. As a PC Co-Chair, our team member Dr. Sebastian Heil organized the scientific programme together with Prof. Maristella Matera. Additionally, Prof. Martin Gaedke held a coaching session for PhD Candidates and provided invaluable guidance on their journey to obtain a PhD. The International Conference of Web Engineering is the most important conferences on Web Engineering where researchers and experts from industry alike come together and give essential insights into the design, implementation, application and maintenance of Web-based systems and services. This year's topic "Ethical and Human-Centric Web Engineering: Balancing Innovation and Responsibility" focused on Web Engineering in the age of rapidly and disruptively evolving human environments. In that context, participants from more than 30 countries presented their research results.
