demanded by several software houses. The Energie Navigator is a tool to monitor and
optimize energy consumption of large buildings and plants and is elaborated in various
industrial projects. To learn more about the projects at SE Lab, please see the dedicated
project reports below.
In 2010, the SE Lab initiated the Technology Forum. Here, members of the SE Lab network,
industry partners, students, and members of the chair, talk about innovative technologies and
trends and exchange knowledge. We welcomed talks from industry partners, such as Thales,
SAP, DSA, Ericsson, EMIC, Audi, Daimler, and BMW. Research assistants and their students
presented new technologies in developing android and iPhone applications as well as web
applications with Google Web Toolkit. Also Cloud Computing technologies were introduced
here.
The connection to industry could be tightened by gaining lecturers from BMW AG and DSA
GmbH. In summer, Dr. Stefan Kriebel gave a lecture about “Processes and Methods of
Software Tests” where the students also got insights in industrial software development. In
next winter, Dr. Ansgar Schleicher will give a lecture about “Applied Software Engineering
within the life cycle of Automotive Electronics”. This concept of interaction is very
promising and will be followed up. In reverse, we plan to give advanced and special trainings
to software developers in enterprises.
Besides lectures, we enabled students in the SE Research Camp and also in practical courses
to learn how to build smart phone applications and web services first and to apply them in the
following by realizing software in a team. Here, several nice software came out such as the
building information system GISELA with an Android and iPhone interface and car remote
control apps in the context of the AURIGA project.
Astonished by the demand of all SE Lab activities, projects, Technology Forum, lectures and
SE Research Camp, in 2011 we will extend our offerings.

Software and Systems Modeling (SoSyM) Journal
Since 2001, Software and Systems Modeling (SoSyM) is an international journal that focuses
on theoretical and practical issues pertaining to the development and application of software
and system modeling languages and techniques. The aim of the journal is to publish highquality
works of further understanding about theoretical underpinnings of modeling languages
and techniques, to present rigorous analyses of modeling experiences, and to present scalable
