Bachelor thesis successfully defended
On April 12, 2017, student Ludwig Bedau successfully defended his Bachelor's thesis entitled "Model-based safety analysis of a station interlocking system".
Third expert workshop underlines industrial demand for formal methods
On Thursday, 8 September 2016, the Chair of Software Engineering at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg, headed by Prof. Dr. Frank Ortmeier, successfully hosted the third expert workshop on the topic of "Application of innovative model-based safety analysis methods in the approval process of safety-critical applications". Over a period of 5 years, the Magdeburg researchers developed - in close cooperation with the Federal Railway Authority and independent experts - a new methodology for integrating model-based analysis techniques into the safety life cycle in accordance with existing industry standards, in particular DIN EN 61508, DIN EN 50128 and DIN EN 50129.
Double-degree program for digital engineering
With the cooperation agreement between the Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology (SIIT) of Thammasat University in Pathum Thani in Thailand and Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg, the double-degree program for the Master's degree course in Digital Engineering was agreed. More information can be found here.
Introduction to digital engineering
An introductory and information event for the Master's program in Digital Engineering (DE) will take place on April 18 at 1:30 pm in room 301 (building 29).
During this presentation, we will answer questions about basic organizational information about the program.

Participation in the MediCon2016
We are pleased to announce the participation at MEDICON 2016 in Paphos, Cyprus, with our paper "Survey on Cardiotocography Feature Extraction Algorithms for Foetal Welfare Assessment" by our guest researcher Alfredo Illanes.
Medical and biological engineering and informatics are complementary disciplines that hold great promise for advancing research and development in complex medical and biological systems. Research and development in these fields impact science and technology by advancing fundamental concepts in translational medicine, helping us to understand human physiology and function at multiple levels, and by improving tools and techniques for disease detection, prevention and treatment. Medicon 2016 provides a common platform for the cross-fertilization of ideas and aims to help shape knowledge and scientific achievement by bringing together complementary disciplines in an interactive and attractive forum under the specific theme of the conference - Systems Medicine for the Delivery of Better Healthcare Services. With this goal in mind, Medicon 2016 is soliciting original contributions in the following non-exclusive areas.
Press release: First graduate of the Digital Engineering Master's program receives research contract at the Faculty of Computer Science
Magdeburg. Ludwig Bedau is the first graduate of the "Master Digital Engineering" postgraduate course at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg. At the graduation ceremony, he said that he was particularly impressed by the broad, cross-faculty course selection. At the Center for Digital Engineering cedemo, where Bedau spent the last four semesters, this had recently been broadened once again: the compulsory elective courses, which make up the majority of the Master's degree, had been supplemented by modules for professionals. These should also enable professionals to acquire certificates in the blended learning model during their professional career and thus broaden their academic base even further with an advanced Master's degree.
