Research Group Business Information Systems
Our profile
We develop solutions for current social and entrepreneurial challenges using languages, methods and tools of applied computer science. We see business information systems as the key to analyzing and improving business processes and their impact on the environment. Our research work is based on database technologies and methods of software engineering and business process management.
Business process management and process mining
We support the entire life cycle of business processes with innovative information and communication technologies. In our work, for example, we use process mining, simulation, machine learning or generative AI for the modeling, analysis and execution of business processes.
Sustainable business process management
Companies are faced with the challenge of adapting and improving their business activities in terms of sustainability. We support them in this by developing methods to assess and improve the environmental and social impact of business processes.
Internet of Things and robotics
In close cooperation with companies, we are working on solutions to exploit the potential of IoT and robotics for process support. In our IoT and robotics labs, we use AI technologies and, in particular, multimodal language models to develop concepts for process-supported robotics, automated software tests and assistance systems.
Information security management
Digital sovereignty requires that the necessary access to information and confidentiality is guaranteed in both business and private contexts. To ensure this, we are investigating how multi-sided IT security can best be supported by special concepts of business process modeling and analysis.
