Agile Software & System Development

The Agile Software & System Development research group focusses on methods, techniques and tools for the development of software-intensive systems. Areas of application for the research results include innovative projects in the software start-up environment as well as the development of critical applications in the automotive and aerospace domains. Other topics include the use of AI techniques to support the software development process (KI4SE) and the development of AI-related systems (SE4KI).

Main research areas

Design, development and innovation of AI-based software products
Empirical software engineering with a focus on data-driven process analysis, development and improvement
