Welcome to MCSE

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.
