The Software Engineering Group, also called Descartes Group, is headed by Prof. Dr. Samuel Kounev (Head of the Chair of Software Engineering) and focuses on a range of topics related to the engineering of dependable and efficient distributed systems, including cloud-based systems, cyber-physical systems, and systems for data science and scientific computing. Our research is inspired by the vision of Self-Aware Computing Systems designed with built-in model learning and reasoning capabilities enabling autonomic and proactive decision making at run-time.
