Research

The chair researches software-defined and embedded systems as safety-critical components of modern, networked infrastructures.

The focus is on methods for increasing reliability, security, and resilience in technical systems – from industrial control systems and autonomous platforms to military applications and disaster relief.

The goal is to develop adaptive, trustworthy, and long-term usable software systems that remain functional, secure, and controllable even under adverse conditions.

Research Focus

Research at the chair combines theoretical foundations with application-oriented systems development. Key areas include:

  • Software-defined technologies in embedded, cyber-physical, and distributed systems
  • Virtualization of physical resources and digital twins for sustainable system development
  • Reliability, security, and resilience in software-defined infrastructures
  • Automation and self-adaptability through AI-supported control and intelligent decision-making
  • Human-system interaction, including human-in-the-loop and human-out-of-the-loop approaches for safety-critical decisions

Anwendungsfelder

Die Forschung des Lehrstuhls findet Anwendung in einer Vielzahl von Domänen, darunter:

  • Verteidigung, Sicherheit und Schutz kritischer Infrastrukturen und weiterer dualer Schutzgüter, Verbesserung der militärischen und zivilen Wehrfähigkeit, Einbindung von Mensch und Technik in entsprechenden Systemen
  • Lageführung und Fähigkeitsentwicklung für und in herausfordernden, dynamischen und komplexen Umgebungen, z.B. mit Anwendungen im Katastrophenschutz
  • Plattformen und Systeme in dynamischen Umgebungen (z. B. UxVs)
  • Systeme und Technologien mit hohen Anforderungen an Resilienz, Sicherheit und Adaptivität
  • Beantwortung von rechtlichen, sozialen, ethischen Fragen in der Entwicklung solcher Systeme
