Method Factory

Description of Activities

The group develops and applies research paradigms from information systems and business informatics to develop methods for deploying topics of core computer science. Background of this research is artificial intelligence, distributed systems including cloud architecture and telecommunications networks. The overarching paradigm is method engineering in combination with a Design Science Research (DSR) approach. Altogether we call our approach “Method Factory”
