Goal-based Process Improvement Nowadays, the software market is expanding and clients are requesting better, faster, and cheaper software products. One important impact factor to project success is the quality of the applied IT-processes. Hence, more and more organizations are obligated to identify, structure, and improve their processes systematically. There is… Read more

Interactive Use Case based Prototyping Prototyping is a widely accepted technique to evaluate complex system behavior. Prototypes are especially helpful to analyze use cases that many stakeholders find complicated due to their abstractness and fragmentation. Nowadays prototypes are typically created manually and they are not directly connected to other requirements… Read more

Model-Based Software Engineering of Small Embedded & Real-Time Systems As the history of software engineering unveils, abstraction is the means to face complexity. While the 1970’s and 1980’s have been strongly based on functional and data abstraction, and while the 1990’s and early 2000’s have been dominated by object-orientation, model-based… Read more
Architectures for Software Product Lines Product line-based software development can only lead to full success if it is recognized as an integrated concept, which involves all phases of the software engineering process. This project concentrates on architecture modelling for SPLs. We have developed a top-level process for SPL architecture modelling. Read more
