Institute for Software Technology

The mission of the Institute for Software Technology is research and development in software engineering technologies, and the incorporation of these technologies into DLR software projects. Current activities focus on software for distributed systems and intelligent systems, artificial intelligence, software technologies for embedded systems, visualization, and high-performance computing.

The Institute for Software Technology consists of the departments

High-Performance Computing

Dr. Achim Basermann

Numerical simulation has become extremely important in science since it ideally supports classical approaches like theoretical considerations and experimental measurements. For this reason, simulations are largely used in the DLR to better understand complex phenomena.

Intelligent and Distributed Systems

Andreas Schreiber

The Intelligent and Distributed Systems department works on software engineering, develops challenging software solutions, and does research in scientific projects in the fields of software technology and data science.

Software for Space Systems and Interactive Visualization

Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Andreas Gerndt

Advanced virtual product development for e.g. space systems requires software-based tools to support the development process, interactive visualization methods for a reliable prototype and simulation analysis, and techniques for the design of robust on-board software. This department investigates and develops appropriate approaches by means of software engineering techniques.
