Research Areas
Since software engineering is a discipline between theory and
practice, we try to balance basic research with technology
research and application-driven research.
Model-Driven Robot Software Engineering (MORSE)
MORSE is the queen discipline of systems engineering,
because constructing, modeling, and programming of robots is
hard. Since 2006, the chair is involved in MORSE; first with
MDSD for Lego Mindstorms robots in the SuReal project, then
for NAO robots in the Qualitune project, then for TurtleBots
in the VICCI project, then for KUKA LBR in the T-RoX
project, and even more robots:.
Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE) and Snippet
Composition for Models and Programs (Invasive Software
Composition)
Software composition integrates the following areas of
software engineering: aspect-oriented development,
architecture languages, view-based development, and generic
programming. The speciality of the Dresden group,
Invasive
Software Composition (ISC), is a technology for template
and snippet composition (fragment composition). Plainly
speaking, it is an advanced form of template metaprogramming
(TMP), but it can do much more for you. Our group has worked
on the following type-safe techniques for snippet composition
and for constrution of program and model weavers:
- With Universal
grammar-based ISC for textual languages, you
can produce for a given grammar a snippet composition
system. With this, you can enhance any language with
template programming features like in BETA or C++ and
build powerful snippet metaprogramming environments.
Applications are [ Safe
Template Languages ] and "Component
Models for Semantic Web Languages". These works
describe a general framework of grammar-universal ISC,
i.e., how to take a grammar and generate from it a
component model and snippet composition system for its
language.
- Universal metamodel-based ISC for textual and
graphical languages is the extended approach working
with EMF metamodels [ Extending Grammars and Metamodels
for Reuse - the Reuseware
approach ] [ JOT
Paper on Reuseware ]
- Orchestration style sheets (OSS) is our
newest approach for styling the parallelization and
distribution of sequential programs (progressive
parallelization). Style sheets are a very general form of
rewriting-based aspects, controlled by attribute grammars.
[First
Paper on OSS | Overview
of Orchestration Path of cfAED | Semantics-aware
composition for parallelization ]
- Attribute-driven ISC: With attribute-driven ISC,
weavers can be built for Aspect-Orientation Development
(AOSD) and Aspect-Oriented Modeling (AOM). Remote
Attribute Grammars describe data- and control-flow between
remote parts of the syntax tree of the program. The theory
was worked out by Dr. Sven Karol in his PhD thesis
"Well-Formed and Scalable Invasive Software Composition" [pdf].
The corresponding demonstrator tool is the SkAT
composition tool.
- Reference-attribute grammar driven rewriting (RACR):
if analysis phase of a reference attribute grammar are
interchanged with rewriting, a novel method for
context-sensitive term rewriting results. The RACR
toolset is managed by Christoff Bürger, now in Lund,
Sweden.
Agile Business Modeling in Smart Ecosystems (Lean Startup
for Software and Innovation Ecosystems)
- Innovation Ecosystems: Coopetition, cluster and
innovation research. Our Lean Innovation
Center (LINC) made in the ECSEL-Project IoSense
support distributed innovation management.Grab yourself a
password from the homepage and start to collect ideas for
your projects.
- Feature Modeling of Open Software Families.
Christoph Seidl, now in IT University Copenhagen, did his PhD
here.
- Course Software
as a Business (SaaB) discusses how to create
software innovations with working business models, also
for product lines, product matrices, and software
ecosystems. Lean startup only scales with Software Product
Lines, Matrices and Ecosystems.

Agile Teaching
Agile teaching employs the methods of agine software
engineering to teaching. Our group maintains the following
feedback systems for students:
Self-Adaptive Systems and Their Architectures
Context- and Role-Based Modeling (Context-based Views)
During the last years, we have have learned that
Model-Driven Software Engineering should be based on
languages with contexts and roles (Context-
and Role-based Modeling and Metamodeling). Roles
capture context-sensitive object behavior in specific
contexts. Role systems automatically adapt to context
changes. Contexts and roles can be applied to objects,
models, and metamodels (for language engineering). This is
an exciting new area of MDSD!
Model-Driven Software Engineering (MDSD) in Technical
Spaces
MDSD is cool because it shows complex software in
simple views (models).
Megamodels and Model-driven software development
(MDSD)
Software Product Lines
Software Product Line Engineering (SPLE) maintains a
configuration model in the problem space together with a
system in the solution space (component space).
- Feature Modeling
- Language Families based on Feature Models and Role-based
component models. This was the PhD of Christian Wende who
modeled language families with feature models.
- Hyper-feature models. Christoph Seidl developed them in
his PhD.
- Views on Feature Models. Julia Schroeter worked them out
for multi-tenant cloud-based software.
Requirements, Testing, and Documentation
- Ontologies in requirements specification (Katja
Siegemund's
PhD)
- OCL and business rules: the chair has an OCL compiler,
the Dresden OCL
Toolkit
- Test
automation for cyber-physical systems and robots
(MATE System, Georg Püschel)
- Documentation engineering (elucidative development), PhD
thesis of Dr. Andreas Bartho
- Quality requirement specification for components and
their quality-based optimization with Multi-Quality
Auto-Tuning (MQuAT) of Dr. Sebastian Götz
Program Analysis and Transformation Techniques
- Graph rewriting, in particular Edge Addition Rewrite
Systems (EARS) and Exhaustive GRS (XGRS)
- Port-Graph Rewriting (Johannes Mey)
- Reference-attribute grammar driven rewriting (RACR):
if analysis phase of a reference attribute grammar are
interchanged with rewriting, a novel method for
context-sensitive term rewriting results. The RACR
toolset is managed by Christoff Bürger, now in Lund,
Sweden
- Relational RAGs: Bidirectional Edges in
Reference-attribute grammars (Johannes Mey): SLE paper
Development Environments Tool and Generator Technologies
- Context-based Petri Nets (Carl Mai, Dr Marvin Triebel)
- Macromodels are sets of models in heterogeneous IDE that
are kept consistent and are amenable for round-trip
engineering (Christopher Werner)
- QMARK is a development environment for development of
energy-efficient apps (Claas Wilke)

Success Stories
Transfer Cases of Projects
- Wandelbots is a
Startup founded in Nov 2017. It got venture capital and is
growing fast. It has taken over about 8 persons from my
group (!).
- EuroTrackX project (SAB), a technology transfer project
with the companies Dresden
Informatik, TTE Europe
and iSAX (2013-2014).
TTE Europe sells now a tracking system for dynamites,
configurable for European countries
- Open4Innovation,
an ESF research transfer network, 2010-2013. This network
co-started the Working Group "Cyber-Physical Systems" of
Silicon Saxony and launched the global OpenInnovation
platform WatchOurIdeas
- BMBF FeasiPLe
(Feature modeling in Product Lines) Feature modeling in
product lines (2005-2008).This project developed the
open-source tool Featuremapper,
which was integrated as a component into PureVision's
Feature tool
- DevBoost is a
startup founded in 2012 for Test and Requirments
Engineering. They have popularized EMFText, the EMF
open-source environment for domain-specific languages,
created many projects and contacts all over the world,
also the startup DevBoost
- B2PDE with ComArch, financed by Sächsische Aufbaubank
(SAB) (2005-2007). This project was one of the initial
projects of ComArch after starting in Germany. It
initiated two PhDs, of Ilie Savga on Adapter generation
and of Andreas Bartho on elucidative modeling.
- The compiler component framework CoSy (home page at
ACE), in the EU project COMPARE (1990-95). In this
project, several languages, such as fSDL and EDL, the
languages of the CoSy framework, were developed as
prototypes and marketed by ACE. One offspring of this
project in Saarbrücken was the company AbsInt. One
offspring of this project was the Company HEI in Mannheim.

Earlier Development
Environments and Tools, Out of Maintenance
- 1998-2003: COMPOST,
the software composition system (COMPOST
main page). COMPOST is a library of static
meta-programs for the composition of Java fragments.
- 1992-2003: OPTIMIX,
the graph rewrite tool for C and Java

community for a children-safe web
- 1990-1993: A parallelizer for Modula-2, PRISMA.
This parallelizer contained a heap analysis according to
Chase/Wegman/Zadeck 1990, and successfully parallelized
loops over lists in Modula-2
