Projects (Selected)
For reasons of confidentiality, only selected projects are
briefly summarised. Do not hesitate to contact me for further information.
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.
