SDQ has been created in February 2006 and is headed by Prof. Dr. Ralf H. Reussner. Our research is concerned with an engineering approach to software design. In particular, this involves methods to predict software quality attributes on the base of architectural designs. We focus on component-based software architectures and model-driven methods. Our chair is actively involved in organisation of scientific conferences and various other events. For an overview see our research profile and research projects.
