Dieter Rombach Software is a part of our lives. Embedded into everyday equipment, into living and working environments or modern means of transportation, countless processors and controllers make Scientific Director our lives simpler, safer, and more pleasant. We help organizations to develop software systems Prof. Dr.-Ing. that are reliable in every aspect, and provide empirical proof of the necessary processes, Peter Liggesmeyer methods, and techniques, emphasizing engineering-style principles such as measurability and transparency. Fraunhofer IESE is one of the worldwide leading research institutes in the area of software and systems development. A major portion of the products offered by our collaboration partners is defined by software. These products range from automotive and transportation systems via automation and plant engineering, information systems, health care and medical systems to software systems for the public sector. Our solutions allow flexible scaling. This makes us a competent technology partner for organizations of any size – from small companies to major corporations. Under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Dieter Rombach and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Peter Liggesmeyer, the past decade has seen us making major contributions to strengthening the emerging IT location Kaiserslautern. In the Fraunhofer Information and Communication Technology Group, we are cooperating with other Fraunhofer institutes on developing trend-setting key technologies for the future. Fraunhofer IESE is one of 60 institutes of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft. Together we have a ma- jor impact on shaping applied research in Europe and contribute to Germany’s competitiveness in international markets. © 2011 Fraunhofer IESE Editorial Notes Editorial Board: Dipl.-Dolmetscherin Sonnhild Namingha (Project Management, Editor) Dipl.-Betriebswirtin (FH) Yvonne Ortiz Guadalupe (Head PR/Marketing) Translation: Dipl.-Dolm.
