New Open Access Book on the Foundations for Big Data Innovation

Digital Key Technologies

How can Europe leverage the potential of Big Data? How can data be used to create value for society and the economy? Which technologies are promising? What political and economic measures are needed? Answers to these and other question are provided by “The Elements of Big Data Value”.

Easier Learning with Augmented Reality

Human-Computer Interaction

Digital Education

Homework is a stress factor in many families. Children are supposed to do it independently, but it often costs parents time and nerves as well. paluno - The Ruhr institute for software technology at the University of Duisburg-Essen wants to provide relieve with new technology. In the joint project FederleichtLernen, the working group of Prof. Schneegaß and interdisciplinary partners are developing a learning system that gives direct support by means of augmented reality. ...

DevOps Tools for the Future Internet of Things

Digital Key Technologies

Development Methods and Tools

They enable the next level of innovation on the Internet of Things (IoT): Smart IoT systems process large amounts of data and can act largely autonomously thanks to comprehensive sensors and actuators. Together with European research partners, the software engineering institute paluno has developed tools for the continuous development and operation of such systems.

From Documents to Models

Development Methods and Tools

The benefits of model-based systems engineering (MBSE) are recognized, but the transition to new way of thinking and working is difficult for many organizations. In collaboration with automotive supplier Schaeffler the software technology institute paluno at the University of Duisburg-Essen has investigated how it can succeed.

Implementation Strategy for Seamless Model-based Systems Engineering

Development Methods and Tools

The advantages of model-based systems engineering (MBSE) are achknowledged, but many organizations find it difficult to switch to the new way of thinking and working. The paluno working group of Prof. Pohl and the automotive supplier Schaeffler demonstrate in this technical paper how they can succeed using a sound methodology, an implementation concept, and appropriate employee training.

New at paluno: Amr Rizk researches on the Network of the Future

People and Awards

Digital Key Technologies

He wants to make digital infrastructures fit for the future: Prof. Dr. Amr Rizk investigates how networks for data exchange and communication can respond quickly to sudden changing demands while remaining efficient and secure. The new professor at the software technology institute paluno at the University of Duisburg-Essen will focus on industrial automation and streaming for immersive technologies.

Better Collaboration in the Development of Material Flow Systems

Development Methods and Tools

Automated material flow systems ensure that the right materials get to the right place at the right time in factories and distribution centers. Different departments are usually involved in the development of these systems. The paluno working group “Specification of Software Systems” together with partners from the Technical University of Munich is researching how the consistency of the individual work results can be ensured.
