A focus of our work is quality-of-service (QoS) of networked systems. Quality-of-service is understood as an umbrella covering various aspects such as traditional performance measures (e.g., throughput of a network, system response time, loss rate, etc.) and dependability measures (e.g., reliability of a network, availability of a server system, etc.) but also real time, safety, security, energy, and economics. For this purpose we apply various kinds of modeling, simulation, analysis, test and measurements and we also develop specialized tools. As a specific approach we are also developing test-driven agile simulation, in which UML-based simulation is combined with model-based testing. Currently we are dealing with a number of different applications: car communications, industrial communications, sensor-actuator networks, audio communications, as well as energy and health care.

Job offers We look forward to hear from your interest to work with us as a student or PhD candidate. Please talk to us. For open minded people with very good technical skills as well as team spirit and good communication skills we can often offer positions in our projects. Currently we are seeking PhD candidates for INI.FAU positions in order to work on new test benches in the automotive industry.
