René Krikhaar: Collaborative Software Production

René Krikhaar

Collaborative Software Production

My research topic concerns Collaborative Software Production. Software intensive systems are more and more developed by different organizations (within a company, but also outside a company: outsourcing, offshoring, COTS), which requires special measures in software architecture, development process and configuration management. Special attention will be taken on the evolution of systems that have already evolved over many years.
Research is performed on these topics in close relation with industry.
