Fraunhofer-Institut für Experimentelles Software Engineering IESE

IESE is one of the worldwide leading research institutes in the area of software and systems development. A major portion of the products offered by our collaboration partners is defined by software. These products range from automotive and transportation systems via automation and plant engineering, information systems, health care and medical systems to software systems for the public sector. Our solutions allow flexible scaling. This makes us a competent technology partner for organizations of any size – from small companies to major corporations. Under the leadership of Prof. Dieter Rombach and Prof. Peter Liggesmeyer, the past decade has seen us making major contributions to strengthening the emerging IT location Kaiserslautern. In the Fraunhofer Information and Communication Technology Group, we are cooperating with other Fraunhofer institutes on developing trend-setting key technologies for the future.

IESE participates to EMSE as member of the Task Force. The major activities of the Task Force are 1) fund rising 2) EMSE marketing 3) curriculum synchronization with SE industry, ICT market, and research demand and offer. The Task Force meets once a year. The Task Force work in strict collaboration with the joint commission and commits to explore new opportunities for the development of EMSE in the three directions we have mentioned. Specifically IESE will be available to host every year 12 EMSE students for their internship. It is currently contributing to EMSE with 10 grants of about 8.000 EUR each for 2012-2014.
