Research / Infrastructure Projects
| Project | Short Description | Contact (MCSE) |
|---|---|---|
| National Research Data Infrastructure for and with Computer Science (NFDIxCS) | NFDIxCS promotes the implementation of the FAIR Data Principles for computer science (CS) research data and software artifacts. Therefore, NFDIxCS will establish an organizational, technical, collaborative, and interoperable infrastructure to join the available forces of relevant services and actors from and for computer science. | Anne Koziolek |
| SFB/CRC 1608 «Convide» | The Collaborative Research Center “Consistency in the View-Based Development of Cyber-Physical Systems” (Convide) brings together researchers with a background in computer science, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering to develop methods that aim to shorten development cycles and update intervals as well as to improve the adaptability, reliability, and security of modern Cyber-Physical Systems. | Anne Koziolek |
Development Projects
In the context of my research and the projects above, I am involved in the following development projects.
| Project | Short Description | Contact (MCSE) |
|---|---|---|
| NFDIxCS Artifact Evaluation Platform (AEP) | The NFDIxCS AEP provides a platform for organizing artifact evaluation tracks, based on HotCRP. In the context of NFDIxCS, we develop the AEP and operate an AEP instance. | Martin Armbruster, Anne Koziolek |
| Vitruvius | Vitruvius is a framework for view-based (software) development. It assumes different models to be used for describing a system, which are automatically kept consistent by the framework executing (semi-)automated rules that preserve consistency. These models are modified only via views, which are projections from the underlying models. | Arne Lange |
| Continuous Integration of architectural Performance Models (CIPM) | CIPM's main goal is to enable accurate architecture-based performance predictions at each point of a system's development life cycle. For this goal, the CIPM approach continuously updates the architecture-level performance model of a software system according to observed changes at development time and at operation time. | Manar Mazkatli, Martin Armbruster, Anne Koziolek |
| Extended Java Model Parser and Printer (JaMoPP) | The extended JaMoPP provides an EMF-based modeling environment for Java source code with a parser (for code to model), printer (for model to code), and reference resolution between different Java elements. It is an independent continuation of the original JaMoPP. | Manar Mazkatli, Martin Armbruster |
