                  Research Topics

                  The DLR Institute of Software Technology researches and develops pioneering software for the future of society and technology.

                  The following topics form the core of our research and development work as software experts at DLR.

                  Reliable and safety-critical software systems

                  Reliable, safety-critical and trustworthy software systems are responsible for controlling and monitoring networked aircraft and spacecraft, modern vehicles and energy systems.

                  Artificial intelligence

                  The Institute of Software Technology is researching secure and robust AI models in order to analyse large amounts of data and gain important insights.

                  High-performance computing and quantum computing

                  High-performance and quantum computers are of fundamental importance for research conducted at DLR. They enable the processing of enormous amounts of data and the calculation of highly complex processes.

                  Human-System Interaction and Visualisation

                  Human-system interactions and data visualisations are designed to make complex data intuitively understandable, optimise the user experience and support decision making.

                  Software and systems engineering

                  Software and systems engineering includes methods, procedures and tools for the development of complex systems, such as software or technical systems.

                  Digital platforms and digital twins

                  Digital technologies are a central part of everyday research at DLR. Digitalisation not only enables more efficient processes, but also new forms of collaboration and communication.
