Software Engineering and Construction Methods
The Software Engineering and Construction Methods group (SWK, in German: Softwareentwicklungs- und -konstruktionsmethoden) features a variety of topics on software engineering and software architecture in research and teaching.
Following the deaths of Matthias Riebisch (1963–2023, → obituary in English, → Nachruf auf Deutsch) and André van Hoorn (1981–2024, → obituary in English, → Nachruf auf Deutsch), the SWK professorship is currently vacant.
For winter semester 2024/2025 and summer semester 2025, Sebastian Werner leads the SWK research group as acting professor. Meanwhile, the academic search procedure for a permanent appointment is conducted.
Please note that the research group's capacity, in particular regarding teaching and thesis supervision, is limited during this time.
