Division of Computer Science and Software Engineering

The mission of the CSE Division is to provide education and research in all relevant aspects of Computer Science and Software Engineering for industrial and embedded systems. To establish world class education and research in this utterly complex area extensive collaboration with industry is required. The goal is to strengthen and secure the Computer Science and Software Engineering part of the education, and to provide scientifically well founded methods and theories for the application areas. Our research is directed to increase the knowledge of software engineering and in particular of industrial software engineering, real-time and embedded systems component-based software engineering, dependable systems, from both theoretical and practical points of view. The research results of the CSE is supposed to be used both at the university and in the industry. At the university, the accumulated knowledge is used for further education in order to prepare the students for new aspects in system development. The industry will benefit with direct implementation of methods and knowledge built up in the research activities and well educated students.
