As we are approaching the end of the year, we can look back on three fruitful research visits in 2025.

The first two research reports are now available on our website:

Fabian Stiehle (Technical University of Munich, TUM) aimed at answering what possible strategies exist that can guide the engineering of value-driven platforms, in his project Towards Design Strategies for Engineering Value-Based Decentralised Platforms

Lianyiang Zhao (Carleton University, Canada) investigated how AI/NLP-supported decision making can reduce errors and inconsistencies in the manual assignment of CVSS vulnerability scores in his project An Evaluation of Language Model-based Hinted Decision Making for Training Human Security Personnel

Mara Floris (Università Vita-Salute San Raffaele) worked on Rhetorical Machines: How AI Persuades and Challenges Critical Thinking – the report is expected soon.

We thank Fabian Stiehle, Lianying Zhao, and Mara Floris for their collaboration, and hope to cross paths again soon!
