About us
The team is part of the ITIS Software institute, and conducts basic and applied research on modeling software systems, and on the provision of engineering tools to design, analyse, evaluate and implement distributed information systems.
Fundamental to this objective is the recognition that information systems must be realized in an environment where data and processing are distributed across heterogeneous IT resources and multiple organizational domains, work in physical environments, and are mainly developed and deployed by re-using or integrating existing components and applications, most of which are either commercial off-the-shelf artefacts (models, components), legacy systems, or external applications.
We also rely on the formal specification of systems, at the appropriate level of abstraction, and with the help of notations and tools that can be easily used by system engineers in their daily work. This is why Model-Based Software Engineering is so important for us.
