Software engineering and software systems

Research focusing on the design, development, and optimization of software platforms, serverless architectures, and digital infrastructures.

The development of modern software solutions is a key success factor for the digital transformation and innovative ability of companies. Traditional software architectures often reach their limits in the face of the increasing complexity, dynamism, and data intensity of digital business models. Our research area focuses on the development of robust, modular, and cloud-native software platforms that enable the rapid integration of new technologies and services and meet the requirements of modern companies.

We design and implement innovative architectures such as serverless platforms, adaptive system components, and automated deployment processes that help companies make their IT infrastructures efficient, flexible, and future-proof. A particular focus is on the automation of development, testing, and operational processes to shorten the time-to-market for new digital products and services and continuously improve software quality. Our research also addresses the challenges of integrating AI algorithms, data management tools, and security mechanisms into existing software landscapes. Close collaboration with partners from industry and research results in practical solutions that pave the way for innovative business models and strengthen competitiveness in a sustainable manner. We support companies in introducing modern software development processes, migrating to cloud-based architectures, and optimizing their IT landscapes.

Our expertise enables companies to respond flexibly to market changes, adapt quickly to new technologies, and make the most of the opportunities offered by digitalization. The results of our work show that the use of modern software engineering methods can significantly reduce development and operating costs, increase system stability, and boost innovation.
