-\vspace*{-0,4cm} The Wizard-of-Oz experiment
-in~\cite{KohKoh:SemTransformationOfSpshts} studies the background
-knowledge of a given spreadsheet. In particular, the authors analyzed
-distinct context dimensions; see Fig.~\ref{fig:helpNeeded} on next
-page and also~\cite{KohKoh:stuas09,Kohlhase:UAForDocs}. This can be
-considered a pre-study for a set of expert interviews with wide-impact
-spreadsheet authors to confirm, negate, or extend these analyzed
-context dimensions.
- 
-The Guided Research task consists in the elaboration of context dimensions of
-spreadsheet knowledge.  It includes to find out what spreadsheet authors' context dimensions are. In particular, some of the guided researcher's subtasks are:
-\vspace{-0,2cm}
-\begin{itemize} 
-\item finding wide-impact spreadsheets with authors\vspace{-0,4cm}
-  \begin{itemize}
-  \item who agree to publish these spreadsheets in your thesis\vspace{-0,2cm}
-  \item who are willing to spend time for an expert interview
-  \end{itemize}
-\vspace{-0,44cm}
-\item conducting a qualitative analysis of the expert interviews yielding context dimensions of spreadsheet knowledge\vspace{-0,44cm}
-\item evaluating existing help systems for spreadsheets wrt. the determined context dimensions
-\end{itemize}
-
-Moreover, it includes to explore what context dimensions spreadsheet readers want/need/get? In particular, more subtasks\footnote{
-Leading questions may be: ``Are the found context dimensions spreadsheet-independent?'', ``How author-specific are the found context dimensions?'', \ldots.} consist of
-\vspace{-0,2cm}
-\begin{itemize}\item finding spreadsheet readers, who are willing to spend time for this study\vspace{-0,44cm}
-\item finding out how big the need for understanding the context dimensions really is

-\title{Usability of an User Assistance System \\for Spreadsheets}
-
-\begin{document}
-\maketitle
-\begin{abstract}
-From 2008-2011 a user assistance system for spreadsheet documents was
-developed in the SACHS Project. Unfortunately, the project funds ran
-out before a usability test could be done. The Guided Research thesis
-will cover this usability test. The results are important for the
-follow-up project ``SiSsI'' (funded by the German Research Foundation;
-2011-2013), in which the \sx prototype is built into a real world
-  system.
-\end{abstract}
-\begin{figure}[h]\vspace*{-1em}
-\includegraphics[width=14cm]{images/UAforDocs_Poster_Horiz4}

-\label{fig:sachs}
-\end{figure}
-
- \sx is a help system for any \excel'03 document,
-  whose background knowledge is explicity given in an ontology
-  \symOntology (in OMDoc format) and for which there exists an
-  interpretation mapping (a mapping between concepts in \symOntology and
-  cells in the given spreadsheet); see~\cite{KohKoh:ccbssmt09,KohKoh:mteuas09}.  
-
-The task is to conduct a case study about the usability of \sx, i.e.,
-usage and usefulness of the user assistance (UA) features of \sx, wrt. to a
-given, wide-impact spreadsheet \symService.  It includes
-\begin{itemize}
-\item an analysis of the existing UA given to readers of \symService,
-\item authoring the \symService-specific background ontology \symOntology 
-(based on interviews with \symService-experts),
-\item deciding on a case study methodology (e.g. interview, online
-  survey, use logs, ...),
-\item finding subjects
-  \begin{enumerate}
-  \item who use \symService on a regular basis
-  \item who are willing to spend time for the case study 
-  \end{enumerate}
-\item conducting the case study
-\item analyzing the usability of \sx for \symService based on the case
-  study, yielding a usability evaluation.

-\title{Interactive Maps of Mathematics}
-
-\begin{document}
-\maketitle
-
-In the MathSearch Project\footnote{\url{http://mathsearch.kwarc.info} funded by the
-  Leibniz Foundation; 2012-2014} we are currently rethinking access to mathematical
-knowledge and resources. In this Guided Research Project we want to build global map-based
-navigation service for mathematics. 
-
-\begin{wrapfigure}r{7.3cm}\vspace*{-1em}
-\includegraphics[width=7.3cm]{images/web2map}
-\caption{Map of Online Communities, XKCD 2010 \protect\url{http://xkcd.com/802/}}
-\label{fig:xkcd-web2map}
-\end{wrapfigure}
-The main idea is that humans are very skilled in spatial navigation and in particular have
-learned to use map representation to navigate spaces and locate targets. Concretely, we
-want to create a map of mathematics like the one in Figure~\ref{fig:xkcd-web2map}. We want
-to base the map on ideas from Dave Rusin's Math
-Atlas\footnote{\url{http://math-atlas.org}; created 1998, last updated 2001}, which uses
-topics from the Math Subject Classification (\url{http://www.ams.org/msc/}) for map
-regions and calculates the positioning and relative sizes from topic interconnections and
-the numbers of publications.
-
-The development of the map itself will be coordinated and iterated with the mathematical
-community and hopefully supported by an artist. If successful, the map will become the
-entry page to \url{http://mathweb.org} and an access method at
-\url{http://planetmath.org}. The contribution of the GR thesis is to make the map
-scalable, and interactive; linking it to various information sources like Zentralblatt
-Math \url{http://www.zentralblatt-math.org} or the math genealogy project
-\url{http://www.genealogy.math.ndsu.nodak.edu}. We envisage implementing the map (and its
-interactions) in a mapping servers like OpenStreetMap \url{http://openstreetmap.org} or
-Google Earth \url{http://www.google.de/earth/}, or even in immersive systems like
-Minecraft \url{https://www.minecraft.net/}. Connections between areas could be implemented
-as roads, highways or air/sea connections (possibly depending on their salience),
-important theorems could be entered/visualized as landmarks.
-
-There are few bounds to be creative here. The GR topic could also be worked on by two
-closely collaborating students. We expect the GR thesis to come up with an initial system
-that can be populated by the Math community.
