Research and development that creates knowledge

By engaging in research and development projects, we expand our knowledge, contribute to the scientific discourse and gain new insights and inspirations that advance our mission – To create solutions for the unique challenges of developing embedded Software. Our work has been repeatedly honoured by the foundation Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft. The acquired knowledge and scientific results directly benefit our customers by optimizing the quality of our products and services.

 

Active research projects

PoC4Vet

The project aims to develop a fast, mobile and reliable method for the detection of pathogens and to make it available as a PoC (Point of Care) application. This should provide physicians with important information for diagnosis and therapy. The project aims to identify Leptospira bacteria. In a first step the existence of the pathogen is confirmed by detecting specific antibodies. The pathogen is then tested for possible resistance to antibiotics.

DeepTest

In the research project DeepTest a new testing stragtegy for embedded systems based on the concept of machine learning shall be designed, implemented and evaluated. This testing strategy uses methods of machine learning to generate testinput data and to identify patterns in system behavior in order to determine the expected behavior of the testobject and to evaluate the test.
