Software Engineering Group

The Software Engineering Group, also called Descartes Group, is headed by Prof. Dr. Samuel Kounev and focuses on a range of topics related to the engineering of software for building dependable and efficient distributed systems, such as cloud-based systems, cyber-physical systems, and Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications. 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.

Our research is aimed at novel methods, techniques and tools for the engineering of dependable and efficient computer-based systems, including classical software systems and cyber-physical systems.
