Registeration
- There are approximately 12 possible positions available.
- Registration is possible from 06.10.2026 10:00 by joining the ILIAS course.
- Topics will be assigned in a preliminary meeting (mandatory attendance). Please also participate if you are on the waiting list (see the waiting list policy).
Appointments
Topic assignment
- Topics are assigned according to the order of registration in ILIAS, on a first-come, first-servedbasis.
Substitute candidate rule
- Even as a latecomer (participant on the waiting list), experience shows there is a good chance of receiving a topic.
- Any remaining topics will be allocated to alternates during the topic allocation process.
- Therefore, please also participate in the meetings for topic presentation and topic allocation, even if you are on the waiting list.
- If you are unable to attend these dates for reasons beyond your control, your practical course registration will be forfeited.
- Only in rare cases, if individual topics become available after the topic allocation, do we inform the remaining candidates on the waiting list by email.
Practical Course Overview
In this practical course, students use and expand upon current tools from practice and research. A key focus is on extensions for evaluating and predicting the quality of software systems and maintaining consistency across various development artifacts. This includes, in particular, the Palladio-Software-Architektur-Simulator and the Vitruvius-approach. Numerous practical topics are available each semester, typically undertaken by one student at a time.
The practical course topics are integrated into current research projects of the chair and mostly work with current technologies from the Eclipse environment. These include Eclipse, the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF), the Palladio simulator, as well as other technologies from the fields of model-driven and model-based software development.
The practical course prepares students equally for tasks in research and industry and offers plenty of room for creativity.
Procedural Details
- Participation in the topic presentation and topic assignment is required.
- Further appointments will be arranged individually with the supervisor.
Documents
The materials will be made available on the ILIAS platform.
