Research


Technically challenging systems in mobility continue to grow in complexity due to developments in automated driving or flying. As a result, the amount of software and AI methods in the systems is increasing strongly, and the operating states must be monitored more comprehensively. To master this increasing complexity and meet the high demand for quality and reliability, methods of model-based system engineering and research into suitable approaches for modelling systems that contain data-based AI components are necessary. Model-based systems engineering is dedicated to these tasks at the interface between engineering sciences and computer science.

  • In research, we use mathematically precise methods to ensure the correctness of these systems.
  • We look at the interplay between humans, the environment, and the system operating within it to get a precise idea of what self-adaptive and autonomous systems are. Only then are specification, modelling, and analysis possible in a meaningful way.
