Current Projects

• IT Governance Bayern with the Bavarian Government
  IT Governance Bayern is a competence center established for a long-term cooperation with further research groups of the TUM and the Bavarian Ministry of Finance, IT department 1. We investigate different research areas in IT governance in the public sector with a particular focus on enterprise architecture management, service-oriented architectures, and the management of IT development projects in those domains. The overall goal is to development the Bavarian IT strategy for the public sector.
  
  
• Model-based Process Enactment with Siemens
  The goal of this project is to empirically analyse and conceptually establish the linkage between development proces models and their instances to support for the management, the controlling, and the continuous process improvement.
  

Finished Projects

• Requirements Engineering and Optimisation with Deutsche Lufthansa AG
  The goal of the project is the identification of potential optimisations in the Requirements Engineering of the Deutschen Lufthansa AG (DLH). The analysis includes the standard reference model for Requirements Engineering and the Requirements Engineering process performed in an exemplary software development project. Based on the potential optimisations suggestions concerning the RE process of the DLH should be made.
  
  
• Requirements Engineering Solution 6 with Siemens
  The project represents a case study hosted by Siemens in which the artefact-based RE approach VM BISA (for the application domain of business information systems / see also Quasar Requirements) is evaluated.
  
  
• RE School with Capgemini Technology Services
  Quasar Requirements is an artefact-based RE approach being developed in a research cooperation between the Technische Universität München and Capgemini Technology Services. The approach is integrated into the architecture framework of Capgemini (Quasar). The project aims at the definition of training concepts and the performance of corresponding courses for (chief) analysts, architects, and management-specific roles.
  
  
• Quasar Requirements with Capgemini Technology Services
  The development of Quasar Requirements is performed in cooperation between Capgemini Technology Services and the TU München with the goal to develop the company-wide artefact-based reference model for Requirements Engineering for custom software development projects in the domain of business information systems. It incorporates the company-specific architecture principles of Quasar Enterprise and the Capgemini Integrated Architecture Framework, and is integrated into the company-specific development process model, a variant of the Rational Unified Process.   
  
  
• SOA@Innovation Labs with the SOA Innovation Labs and the Deutsche Post
  The project aims at the definition and evaluation of a semantic foundation of the basic concepts used in the area of service-oriented architecture in a cooperation with the SOA Innovation Labs in general and the Deutsche Post in particular. To reach this aim, the project is performed over two stages. First, an integrated modelling theory of the research group is completed for functional concepts used in process modelling, service modelling and the inference of a logical component architecture. The theory is defined via mathematical models referring to the FOCUS theory. In a second step, a case study is conducted in which we assess the modelling theory in direct comparison to given modelling techniques developed by the Deutsche Post.
