Institute of Software Engineering and Programming Languages
Research
Our research covers many aspects of software engineering and programming languages. In particular, we focus on domain-specific languages, software configuration, and constraint programming. We employ formalized theories, develop open-source tools, and apply empirical research methods.
Teaching
The institute represents the areas software engineering and programming languages in the bachelor and master programs of computer science and related fields. We offer the following mandatory courses in the Bachelor's program:
- Interactive Systems Programming
- Software Engineering
- Software Project
Furthermore, we are responsible for the bachelor and master program Software Engineering.
