Designforschung und KI
Künstliche Intelligenz ist weit mehr als eine simple Technologie – sie prägt Bilder, Narrative und unsere ästhetisch-symbolische Kultur. Dieser Band zeigt erstmals systematisch, wie Designforschung auf die Dynamiken generativer Systeme reagiert und sich gleichzeitig positioniert: kritisch, experimentell und interdisziplinär. Von visueller Kommunikation über Interfacegestaltung bis hin zu spekulativen Entwürfen untersuchen die Beiträge, wie KI Bedeutung erzeugt, Gestaltungsnormen transformiert und gesellschaftliche Machtverhältnisse neu ordnet. Im Zentrum steht das Konzept des Techno-Imaginären: KI als kulturelles Dispositiv jenseits technischer Funktionalität. Ein unverzichtbares Buch für alle, die Gestaltung, Medien und Technologie im Zeitalter algorithmischer Systeme neu denken wollen.

Resiliente krisenrelevante Versorgungsnetze
Seit Beginn der SARS-Covid-Pandemie veranschaulichten Krisen und Katastrophen die Anfälligkeit der Versorgungsnetze von Gesellschaft und Wirtschaft. Pandemien erfordern die schnelle Versorgung mit medizinischer Schutzausrüstung, Testverfahren und Impfstoffen. Durch den Klimawandel bedingte Naturkatastrophen und Extremwetter, wie Überflutungen, langandauernde Vegetationsbrände oder sinkende Pegel der Wasserwege, verursachen materielle und finanzielle Schäden, aber auch schlimmstenfalls den Ausfall von Transportwegen. Menschliches Versagen, politische Konflikte oder Kriege führen zu Verzögerungen in den Distributionskanälen und zur Verknappung von krisenrelevanten Gütern. Das Projekt ResKriVer (Resiliente krisenrelevante Versorgungsnetze) hat Auswirkungen von für Deutschland antizipierbaren Krisen- und Katastrophensituation untersucht und Lösungsansätze entwickelt, um die Resilienz von Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft zu steigern. Projektfokus waren: Analyse und Simulation von Lieferketten krisenrelevanter GüterVerbesserung der Versorgung mit BlutkonservenUnterstützung von Krisenstäben bei der LagebilderhebungVerbesserung der Kommunikation mit der BevölkerungEntlastung von Kliniken durch telemedizinische Überwachung von Risikopatienten Neben der Analyse der Bedarfe, der Untersuchung der Umsetzbarkeit, der Realisierung von Prototypen und Demonstratoren wurde ein Ökosystem von digitalen Services entwickelt, die zukünftige Umsetzungen von resilienten Vorsorgemaßnahmen vereinfachen. Das Buch stellt die Ergebnisse in allgemeinverständlicher Form vor.

Pro Microservices in .NET 10
Learn how to design, build, test, deploy, and monitor microservices using .NET 10. Microservices is a pattern of separating software into small, reusable components to solve specific problems. Each microservice can be independently built, deployed, and scaled. This pattern provides enterprise grade durability and scale to meet complex business goals and customer needs in enterprise systems. While the return is valuable and the concept straightforward, applying it to an enterprise development effort is far more complicated. Where do you start? How do you find the seams between the components? And once you have all the services, how do you deploy and scale them to meet the durability and performance needs of the organization? Pro Microservices in .NET 10 will introduce you to all that and more. The authors get you started with an overview of microservices and other development patterns, event storming, domain-driven design, and the options for developing in ASP.NET. You will use that foundational information to build a reference application throughout the book, exploring both synchronous messaging with HTTP, gRPC, and asynchronous messaging with a service bus. From there, you will create your first microservice using C# and .NET 10, test it using unit and integration tests, and package it into a Docker container. You’ll deploy the container to various Azure services including Kubernetes, Azure Container Apps, App Service, Azure Functions, and KEDA. You will also learn about communication styles, decentralizing data, and testing microservices. Finally, you will learn how to keep services healthy using OpenTelemetry for logging, Aspire for local development, and Azure Application Insights for production.

AI-Driven Mental Health Chatbots
As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to evolve, its potential role in online mental health therapy is gaining increasing interest. In this study, a quantitative 2x2 factorial experimental design is used to explore how AI transparency, theory of change (ToC), therapy style of advice, AI acceptance rate and type of mental health issue influence user perceptions of AI-driven mental health chatbots. Using a mixed-methods approach that combines quantitative analysis with sentiment and emotional text mining, the research examines how these variables shape user experiences in terms of perceived empathy, satisfaction and treatment outcomes. The findings reveal that participants who are aware they are interacting with AI tend to report more positive experiences, particularly when an emotional ToC is employed. Furthermore, emotional advice styles elicit deeper emotional engagement, while rational advice is associated with more positive sentiment. Additionally, the emotional tone and conversational dynamics vary by discussion topic, with depression-related conversations showing greater emotional intensity. These insights underline the importance of aligning chatbot communication styles with individual user expectations and emotional needs, offering implications for the design of more personalised mental health technologies.
