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.

Making Healthier Decisions with AI

Human-Computer Interaction

How should an intelligent assistance system be designed so that as many people as possible use it to improve their health on a daily basis? This question is the focus of the joint project “Extended Health intelligence for personal behavioral strategies in everyday life” (Eghi), which has just been launched. The paluno working group “Human-Computer Interaction” of Professor Schneegaß is involved in the project.

German IT Security Award: Great Success for paluno Researchers

People and Awards

Information and System Security

Every two years, the Horst Görtz Foundation awards a total of 200,000 euros to the best future-relevant innovations in IT security. Tobias Cloosters, Michael Rodler, and Prof. Lucas Davi won the 3rd place (40,000 euros) for their innovative tool TeeRex. It facilitates the vulnerability analysis of Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs). The German IT Security Award is the most prestigious and highest endowed award of its kind in Germany.

Book "Model-Based Engineering of Collaborative Embedded Systems" Published: Solutions for the Development of CPS Networks

Development Methods and Tools

The newly published book describes the key results of the CrESt project, in which 22 partners from industry and science developed solutions for the development of dynamic system networks of embedded, cyber-physical systems (Systems of CPS).

More Certainty for Predictions

Digital Key Technologies

Wait or act now? Terminal operators that manage processes in the dynamic environment of port terminals are constantly confronted with this decision. paluno –The Ruhr institute for Software Technology at the University of Duisburg-Essen and the Port of Duisburg have together investigated how machine learning may help terminal operators with this decision.

New Technology Fixes Security Vulnerabilities in Smart Contracts

Information and System Security

Smart contracts have made Ethereum the world's second largest crypto currency. However, recent criminal attacks have exploited errors in the contracts programmed. Together with partners, the paluno working group of Prof. Lucas Davi has developed and evaluated a technique that enables published smart contracts to be improved instantly.

EU: New Position Paper about the Role of Software Technology in Key Digital Technologies

Digital Key Technologies

The European Initiative NESSI released a position paper titled “Software and Key Digital Technologies". It identifies important topics that should be focused on in the next EU research and innovation framework program "Horizon Europe". The Chair for Software Systems Engineering of Prof. Dr. Klaus Pohl has contributed significantly to the paper.

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.
