Research

New business models and the internet change business processes in companies. What methods can business processes be modeled with and optimized, and what tools are there on the market? How can business processes be outsourced (e.g. cloud computing) or optimized with the aid of AI? When do such steps pay off (business case)?

Short development cycles and continuous improvement of software require close collaboration between clients and contractors. Newer approaches come from software engineering and are attributable to agile project management. We study the questions how the goals can be defined in system integration and software development projects and how they can be performed on time and on budget. An essential point for implementing IT projects successfully is the survey and prioritization of requirements (requirement engineering).

Here, web projects have their own challenge, since in addition to software, one also has to consider the creation or migration of the content (web engineering management)

 

 

Information is becoming more and more important. Those who have it can gain a competitive edge, create products tailored to customers, perform targeted advertising, influence people, etc. In particular due to the internet, it is getting easier to generate and analyze information (see Big Data). The collection of information (credit card information e.g. with additional customer or health data) raises new questions concerning data protection (transparent human) and information ethics. People will become more aware of what data they are disclosing. In one collaboration project with the Griffith University (Australia), we examine the question of how people can make decisions about their data and for what purpose / on what occasion people are willing to disclose which of their data. What information on the internet can be trusted and what information is created automatically by bots? Can bots act autonomously in automated communication with the help of AI?
