Scientific Coordination of SPP 1593

The Priority Programme 1593 has been established to develop fundamental methodologies and a focused approach for long-living software systems, maintaining high quality and supporting evolution during the whole life cycle. Existing approaches do not solve the severe current problems with legacy software, the adaptation of software to new platforms and the continuous evolution of software systems with respect to continuously changing requirements, new emerging technologies, and integration of new software, hardware and system components. The aim of the Priority Programme is integrated and focused research in software engineering to develop a methodology for the continuous evolution of software and software/hardware systems, thus making systems adaptable to changing requirements and environments. To stay close to application, we focus on two particular application domains: information systems and production systems in automation engineering. The project Scientific Coordination of SPP 1593 is proposed to take care of the scientific, organisational and technical support for all projects of the Priority Programme. Besides the general scientific support, the administration of IT infrastructures as well as the preparation and management of events are within the working area of the project. Furthermore, the project is responsible for the ensurance of inter-project cooperation, e.g., by the preparation and supervision of SPP-wide case studies.
