During my work at the University of Kaiserslautern and the Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Software Engineering (IESE) I was able to shape and apply my research ideas in projects funded by the BMBF, EU and Fraunhofer internal programmes.

VIDE (Visualize all Model-Driven Software Development): The EU funded research project "VIDE" is concerned with the visual development of software on the model level (i.e., Model Dirven Software Development, MDSD). The goal is to support the composition of plattform-indepentend models via action languages. Additionally, quality defects in these models such as antipatterns or architecture smells that have a negative effect on a quality aspect such as maintainability are diagnosed in order to assist the modeler. (duration: 7/2006-12/2008) |

RISE (Reuse In Software Engineering): The research project "RISE" was concerned with the reuse of software documents in agile software organizations based on ontologies, WIKIs, and semantic technologies. The vision of RISE was to integrate Knowledge Management into a software organization that is fun to use and requires only minimal effort. Software developers were assisted in the reuse of requirements, code, information, and decisions about the software system they developed. The project included two industrial software organizations and was granted 2.5 million € by the BMBF. (duration: 01/2004-12/2005). |

indiGo (Integrative Software-Engineering through discourse-based Groupware): In the research project "indiGo" we engaged to improve Software Engineeeing through the deep integration of participants using a discourse-based groupware. The project was conducted by Fraunhofer IESE and Fraunhofer AIS. |
| eProduction(Distributed Software Production): The strategic investment project "eProduction" was used to shape the research direction and portfolio of three research institutes. It was in part concerned with the build-up of labs to support the development of systems for the development of software in globally distributed software organizations. The project included Fraunhofer IESE, Fraunhofer AIS, and Fraunhofer FOKUS and was granted 900 thousand € by the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft e.V.) | |

SFB 501: The SFB's primary goal was to investigate, develop, and promote technologies for the construction of large software systems based on generic methods. The term "generic method" in this context refers to all types of description techniques, generator techniques, and tools helping to systematically support the reuse of existing software artefacts, development processes, and design knowledge and experience for the construction of a new system. The results of the SFB gave important impetus to an engineering-style software technology allowing to construct large software systems within given time schedules and with predictable effort while at the same time meeting given quality requirements. |
