Profile

The Chair of Industrial Information Technology (IIT) works in the field of information systems in companies and administration departments. We place great emphasis on the practical aspect of our work and are supported by the “Fraunhofer-Anwendungszentrum für Logistiksystemplanung und Informationssysteme”.

Planning and Organisation:

• Methods of cost and use-of-potential analysis involving “large” integrated information systems
• Methods of strategically arranging information systems (chances, risks, flexibility)
• Methods of risk analysis for “large” information systems

Acquisition and Implementation:

• Definition of service levels
• Method of selecting systems

Support:

• Experience management
• Collecting and documenting so-called "best practices"
• Configuration management
• Change management

Monitoring:

• Use of artificial intelligence methods for analysing large information systems
• Self-adapting information systems that “learn”

The chair’s work is closely related to one of the BTU’s main research facilities "Information Technology and Communication".

The express wish for applied research comes mainly from fields related to production (the automobile and aeoronautical industries and engineering) which means the chair belongs to Faculty 3 “Mechanical, Electrical and Industrial Engineering” and is supported by the chair’s connection to the “Fraunhofer Anwendungszentrum für Logistiksystemplanung und Informationssysteme.”
