Our research is
aimed at developing novel methods, techniques and tools for the
engineering of dependable and efficient computer-based systems,
including both classical software systems and cyber-physical
systems , spanning the following research areas:
Design, modeling and analysis of software systems and IT infrastructures
Autonomic and self-aware computing
Benchmarking and experimental analysis
We are focussing on system performance, reliability and energy-efficiency, while considering the following application and technology domains:
Cloud computing, virtualization, software-defined data centers
Cyber-physical systems, Internet-of-Things, Industry 4.0
Our research is inspired by the vision of Self-Aware Computing Systems, which are a new class of systems designed with built-in model learning and reasoning capabilities enabling autonomic and proactive decision making at run-time
