Application Areas
As in most areas of computer science, many questions can only be answered if they are associated with a certain application context. The Chair of Applied Telematics / e-Business at the University of Leipzig is focusing on the following application areas.

More detailed information is available in the Research section.
Distributed and Collaborative Software Processes
This research area deals with how distributed and collaborative software processes can be described, what degrees of autonomy have to be provided and how landscapes of distributed processes can be managed.

One result of our research is the “Leipzig Software Process Model” (LPZ-SP), which is a combination of established procedures (such as the German V Model and spiral-based process models) with object-oriented, incremental methods (RUP, Catalysis) and agile approaches (Extreme Programming, SCRUM). It offers comprehensive support without being bureaucratic and allows for local and situational variants and deviations.
Component-Based Software Development
Component-based software development is one of the most current paradigms in software technology and another main research interest in our group. It is of major importance for telematics systems, as their constituents comprise different degrees of autonomy and are based on a public distributed infrastructure.

High expectations are being put into re-use and flexible purchase of third-party systems today. Our research in this area consists of validating the prevalent component models such as EJB and .NET. In our projects, we address questions of migration towards component-based application landscapes as well as providing blueprints for component-based, distributed systems.
Mobility-Supporting Technologies
Many application areas are transformed by the use of mobile applications today. Depending on the kind of mobility, very different technologies, such as Bluetooth, UMTS or GPRS are used. In this context, we are interested in what kind of technology best fits the needs of what kind of application.
