Our mission

To define, improve and industrially apply languages, techniques, concepts, and methods for innovative and efficient development of software and software-intensive systems, such that high-quality products can be developed in a shorter period of time and with flexible integration of changing requirements.

Main Research Topics

We are interested in quite a number of foundational and applied topics. Below we have built some groups with especially interesting publications around these topics and try to describe them on a rather abstract level:

• Agile Model Based Software Engineering
  
• Generative Software Engineering
  
• Domain Specific Languages (DSLs)
  
• Software Language Engineering (SLE)
  
• Semantics of Modeling Languages
  
• Evolution & Transformation of Models
  
• Unified Modeling Language (UML)
  
• Modeling Software Architecture
  
• Variability & Software Product Lines (SPL)
  
• Compositionality & Modularity of Models
  
• Cyber Physical Systems (CPS)
  
• State Based Modeling (Automata)
