Florian Ott

Dr. Florian Ott is a faculty member in the Faculty of Computer Science at Bundeswehr University Munich, specializing in human-computer interaction and collaborative systems. He maintains an active research profile through the Cooperation Systems research group and has established significant projects including CommunityMirrors (semi-public interactive large screens) and CommunityMashup (person-centric data integration for social software).

Dr. Ott's research spans multiple domains of interactive systems:

• Human-Computer Interaction and User Experience design
• Public and Interactive Display Systems
• Awareness and Context-aware Computing
• Sociotechnical Systems Integration
• Information Ergonomics and Usability
• Natural User Interfaces
• Social Computing and Enterprise 2.0 applications

His publication history reveals a clear trajectory from foundational work on enterprise social software (wikis, weblogs) toward more sophisticated ambient awareness systems and person-centric mashup technologies. The research shows consistent focus on bridging theoretical HCI principles with practical enterprise applications, particularly in team awareness and knowledge management contexts across diverse settings including corporate environments and high-performance sports.

Dr. Ott collaborates extensively within the Cooperation Systems Center Munich ecosystem, working closely with Professor Michael Koch (his doctoral advisor), Alexander Richter, and Peter Lachenmaier. His work demonstrates strong integration between technical development of social software platforms and sociotechnical considerations of their implementation in real-world settings.
