Welcome to MCSE

MCSE Group Photo Oct 2024

MCSE: Modelling for Continuous Software Engineering (previously known as ARE: Architecture-driven Requirements Engineering) has been started in February 2013 and is headed by Prof. Anne Koziolek. Since 2021, we have been a member of the KASTEL — Institute of Information Security and Dependability, and we renamed the research group to MCSE. The group is part of Software Design and Quality.

At REFSQ 2025, SDQ members were honored to win the Open Science Challenge Award for our paper! Even though OpenScience should be the goal for all of us, its nice to get recognition for the efforts put in. Thanks Oliver Karras and Julian Frattini for organizing the challenge and advocating OpenScience at REFSQ and thanks to TIB and ORKG to sponsor the award.
