Since February 2025, our “Data Science” workgroup has been involved in the new research project "Learn2RAG ". The project is all about "Retrieval-Augmented Generation", or RAG. RAG is an AI technique that aims to improve the performance of generative language models through a combination of retrieval and generation models. "Learn2RAG" is working on automating the learning of company-specific RAG pipelines and their use.
In addition to Paderborn…

Identifying, collecting and using sustainability data – in the project lab “Digital Factory” led by Dr.-Ing. Jens Pottebaum, Felix Vollenkemper and Carmen De Groote, students developed a tool to evaluate the sustainability of a production process. Using software tools for simulation and real-time data and sustainability metrics, they analyzed the production of a remote-controlled car in the workgroup's Smart Automation Laboratory. After a…
After a successful first project year, the Decide4ECO research project consortium met at the associated partner Sonova –known for its brand Sennheiser. to present initial project results and set the course for the second project cycle. First demonstrators make the exchange of sustainability data via existing data rooms tangible. Initial functionalities to support engineers in the decision-making process for sustainable and recyclable products…
QuSine (a spin-off from our “System and Circuit Technology” workgroup) has been selected for a validation contract by the Federal Agency for Disruptive Innovation (SPRIN-D) - a significant milestone and a strong endorsement of its technological vision.
With the funding, SPRIN-D is supporting novel RF signalling technology that has the potential to fundamentally change radio frequency technology. The aim of the validation contract is to turn…
Since the International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 2024) in April, Michael Schlichtig, research associate in our Secure Software Engineering workgroup, has been intensifying his collaboration with Rodrigo Bonifacio from the Universidade de Brasília.
The cooperation builds on previous contacts: Prof Eric Bodden had already worked with Bonifacio on an earlier project. Now a new research collaboration is emerging from this, in which…
