The chair of Software Engineering performs fundamental research as well as application oriented research in cooperation with industry. It is responsible for the software engineering education in all computer science programs of the University of Augsburg. The competence profile covers the following areas:

• Software- and Systems Engineering (business and embedded software): architectures, model based development, business software, embedded software and systems engineering
• Formal Methods, Safety and Security: safety analysis, security, failure tolerance, specification an verification, tools and methods
• Organic Computing: design of self-x systems: self-organisation, self-adaptation, self-optimisation, methods and applications
• Software for Mechatronics and Robotics software architectures for mechatronics, cooperative robotics, service and industrial robots

The chair is part of and co-directs the Augsburg Research Centre for Innovative Technologies, is strongly involved in Organic Computing. Furthermore the chair is heading the Mechatronics activities at the University of Augsburg.

The chair is leading the elite graduate program Software Engineering (joint program with TU München and LMU München) and is member of the board of the elite graduate program Finance and Information Management (joint with the economics faculty of the University of Augsburg, and TU München).
