Welcome to SASIS

The Self-adaptive Software-intensive Systems (SASIS) research group at KASTEL is headed by Prof. Dr. Raffaela Mirandola. The group is part of the Software Design and Quality.
The main research interests of the Self-adaptive Software-intensive Systems group are:
  • Software quality requirements modeling, analysis, and verification
  • Formal methods for (self-)adaptive dependable IT systems
  • Model-driven software engineering and the application of the theories, approaches, and techniques specific to the above research areas to service-oriented and component-based systems, adaptive systems, mobile systems, and cloud computing.
The research has been funded by several national and international projects.
