Formal Foundations of Programming

Foundations of Software Engineering


Knowledge in handling special formal and stochastic techniques for the safety and reliability analysis of software and systems

Knowledge in using relevant methods for analysis

Content: Safety and reliability are particularly important quality criteria for software applications in the technical sector.

In many domains - e.g. rail-mounted vehicles, avionics, automotive engineering, medical technology - a software failure can endanger human lives. Hence, for example, safety has to be proved before the initial start-up of such systems. These proofs must be complete in general or have to prove at least that a tolerable residual risk is not exceeded.

The lecture is divided into a basic part and a practical part. In the basic part current techniques for the safety and reliability analysis are presented (Symbolic Model Checking and stochastic reliability analysis). In the practical part representatives of industrial companies, which develop security-critical software-intensive systems, report on the situation in practical use.

Lineare Regelungen, Optimal Control, CAE in der Regelungstechnik und Model Predictive Control


Content: Elektro- und Hybridfahrzeuge sind eine Schlüsseltechnologie für eine ressourcen- und klimaschonende Mobilität. Die Forschung und Entwicklung auf diesem Gebiet wird daher seit einigen Jahren sowohl im industriellen als auch im akademischen Bereich stark vorangetrieben. Entsprechend hoch ist der Bedarf an spezialisierten Ingenieuren. In dieser Vorlesung werden die Grundlagen von Elektro- und Hybridfahrzeugen, insbesondere die Architekturen, die Modellierung und das Energiemanagement, vermittelt und anhand zahlreicher Fallstudien auf Basis realisierter Fahrzeugkonzepte vertieft. Während der gesamten Vorlesung werden die Modellierungs- und Energiemanagementmethoden unter MATLAB/Simulink mit spezialisierten Toolboxen veranschaulicht. Zur praktischen Anwendung der erworbenen Kenntnisse ist ergänzend ein Energiemanagementwettbewerb geplant.
