Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used in the testing of computer games. The Visualization research group is investigating how test data can be visualized to gain more insights for improving the games.

Thanks to 5G: Better Emergency Care of the Severely Injured

Digital Key Technologies

Together with partners, Prof. Gruhn’s working group is developing a new telematics application in the 5G EURIALE project. The aim is that, based on 5G, this application will network first-aiders and emergency medical personnel with doctors in hospitals.

Fingerprint Scanner

Danger to Sensitive Data

Information and System Security

Security experts from paluno – The Ruhr Institute for Software Technology at the University of Duisburg-Essen revealed multiple vulnerabilities in security-critical software running in protected memory areas of modern Intel processors. In the worst-case scenario, harmful actions could be infiltrated into sensitive programs, e.g. into the software of fingerprint scanners. With the help of the researchers many vendors already patched their software.

Artificial Intelligence Takes over the Job of Software Engineers

Innovative Software Systems

Development Methods and Tools

Today, there are countless possibilities of application for self-adaptive software, but the development of these systems presents software engineers with new challenges. Scientists from the Software Technology Institute paluno at the University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE) have now achieved promising results with novel artificial intelligence (AI) techniques that automate the development process of self-adaptive systems.

E-Learning and E-Exams for Northrhine-Westphalia

Digital Education

The state government of Northrhine-Westphalia has selected five projects for the programme “Digital Tools in Higher Education. ” With it: the project Harness.nrw. Under the leadership of the software institute paluno of the University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE), existing applications for e-assessment are to be brought together in such a way that they can be used nationwide.

Rolling out Complex Temporal Behavior

Development Methods and Tools

Machine learning methods are powerful but hard to understand, especially if they show complex temporal behavior as part of their training process or when they are used as autonomous agents. The visualization group has developed two new interactive visualization approaches that "roll out" the complex behavior on the screen and make readable what is going on across time.

Security for Personal Data in the Cloud

Digital Key Technologies

Information and System Security

The demand for cloud services has never been greater. This brings the issue of data protection to the fore. In the RestAssured project, scientists from the Ruhr Institute for Software Technology paluno at the University of Duisburg-Essen have researched how cloud providers can better protect the personal data of their customers.
