Angewandte Forschung für Best-in-Class Applikationen der Zukunft

Forschung und Innovation

Um exzellenter Digitalisierungspartner sein und bleiben zu können, investiert XITASO in Forschung und Innovation. Unser Ansatz ist es, Zukunftsthemen gemeinsam mit Partnern aus Wissenschaft und Wirtschaft intensiv zu beleuchten und mögliche Anwendungen für uns und unsere Partner herauszuarbeiten. Dabei lassen wir uns von Herausforderungen aus der Praxis inspirieren, denen wir in unserer täglichen Arbeit mit unseren Kunden begegnen. So bieten wir den Raum für bestmögliche anwendungsnahe Forschung und einen Bezug zu heutigen und zukünftigen Märkten.

Wissenschaftliche Exzellenz sowie nationaler und internationaler Austausch mit der Wissenschafts-Community gehören zur Forschung bei XITASO ebenso wie selbstorganisiertes Arbeiten in einem agilen, firmenübergreifenden Forschungsteam. Wir sind überzeugt: So kann Forschung von heute Innovationen von morgen erzeugen.

Was uns antreibt

Unsere Technologiebereiche

Mensch-zentriertes Software Engineering

Das Ziel unserer Forschung ist, werthaltige und nachhaltige Software-Systeme besser entwickeln zu können. Dies erfordert auch die beständige Weiterentwicklung von Methoden, Werkzeugen und Prinzipien des Software Engineering.

KI und Optimierung

Der Einsatz und die Kombination verschiedener KI- und Optimierungstechnologien hat großes Potenzial zur Verbesserung von technischen Systemen, aber auch des Software Engineering selbst. Ein Fokus in diesem Bereich ist es, vorhandenes Domänenwissen und Modelle mit datenbasierten Methoden zu integrieren und deren Anwendungspotential zu erforschen.

IoT und 5G

IoT-Architekturen und -Technologien sind eine wesentliche Grundlage für künftige Prozessverbesserungen und neue Wertschöpfungsmodelle. Zukünftige Kommunikationsinfrastrukturen wie 5G ermöglichen in diesem Zusammenhang neue Entwurfs- und Interaktionsmuster für softwareintensive Systeme, deren Potential wir untersuchen und vorantreiben.

Autonome Systeme

Wir sind in immer mehr Lebensbereichen von autonomen Systemen umgeben, beispielsweise Roboter oder autonom fahrende Autos. Bei XITASO untersuchen wir daher, wie Softwarelösungen für sichere, erwartungskonforme und nutzerfreundliche autonome Systeme aussehen müssen.

Security by Design

Durchgehende Vernetzung erfordert die Neubetrachtung von Angriffssicherheit technischer Systeme und bedarf geeigneter Methoden und Technologien zur Konstruktion sicherer Software-Lösungen.
