Trends in Service-Oriented Computing: Big Data, Machine Learning, and Beyond

The HPI Research School for "Service-Oriented Systems Engineering" is the HPI graduate school, founded in 2005, with branches in Cape Town, Haifa and Nanjing. The HPI Research School has dedicated itself to the field of "Service-Oriented Systems Engineering." The focus is on the design and implementation of service-based architectures.

These architectures target various research problems from software engineering, system modeling and analysis, as well as the adaptability and integration of applications. "Service-Oriented Systems Engineering" represents a synthesis of best practices in object orientation, component-based development, distributed computing, and business process management. It also targets the integration of business needs and IT. The topics of the HPI Research School thus have a unique potential not only in terms of academic research but also in industrial application.

To foster collaboration and scientific exchange, the HPI Research School will hold a symposium on "Trends in Service-Oriented Computing: big data, machine learning, and beyond" at SAP Next-Gen, New York City.

The HPI Research School

In October 2005, the HPI started its Research School on “Service-Oriented Systems Engineering”, a graduate school based on the model of the DFG (German Research Foundation) “Graduiertenkolleg”.

The Vision of the Research School

Design and implementation of service-oriented architectures impose numerous research questions from the fields of software engineering, system analysis and modeling, adaptability, and application integration. Service-Oriented Systems Engineering represents a symbiosis of best practices in object orientation, component-based development, distributed computing, and business process management. It provides integration of business and IT concerns. Service-Oriented Systems Engineering denotes a current research topic in the field of IT-Systems Engineering with high potential in academic research as well as in industrial application. Supported by an internationally renowned grant, PhD students at our college participate in joint activities such as lectures, seminars, winter schools and workshops.

The Members of the Research School

The professors of the HPI with their research groups are supporting pillars for our PhD school. With its interdisciplinary structure, the research college on Service-Oriented Systems Engineering interconnects the HPI research groups and fosters close and fruitful collaborations.

In context of the Research School, the different groups at HPI work on the following topics:

Human Computer Interaction and Computer Vision as Service
(Prof. Dr. Patrick Baudisch)
Service-Oriented Geovisualization Systems
(Prof. Dr. Jürgen Döllner)
Algorithm Engineering for Service-Oriented Systems
(Prof. Dr. Tobias Friedrich)
Modeling and Verification of Self-Adaptive Service-Oriented Systems
(Prof. Dr. Holger Giese)
Tools and Methods for Software Engineering in Service-Oriented Systems
(Prof. Dr. Robert Hirschfeld)
Security Engineering of Service-Based IT-Systems
(Prof. Dr. Christoph Meinel)
Service-Oriented Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining
(Prof. Dr. Emmanuel Müller)
Service-Oriented Information Systems
(Prof. Dr. Felix Naumann)
Evolutionary Transition of Enterprise Applications to Service-Orientation
(Prof. Dr. h.c. Hasso Plattner)
Operating System Abstractions for Service-Oriented Computing
(Prof. Dr. Andreas Polze)
Services Specification, Composition, and Enactment
(Prof. Dr. Mathias Weske)

Hasso Plattner Institute for Digital Engineering

The Hasso Plattner Institute for Digital Engineering (HPI) at the University of Potsdam is unique in Germany for two key reasons: It was the first university institute in Germany financed entirely by private funds, and it is a prime example of a successful public-private partnership. The Hasso Plattner Institute offers the Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in “IT-Systems Engineering” that emphasizes on the ability to design, develop, and control large, complex, and distributed IT systems. A particular specialty of the HPI is the strong engineering orientation that intensively incorporates industrial projects in its curriculum.

11 Research Groups shape the profile of the HPI in IT-Systems Engineering. At the HPI, 480 undergraduate and graduate students are currently enrolled and about 100 research assistants and Ph.D. students are researching in their respective field.

The Hasso Plattner Institute tightly cooperates with scientific partners, both nationally and internationally. Among the partners – apart from renowned European universities – are the Stanford University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US, as well as Technical University of Beijing in China. Furthermore, the HPI cooperates with renowned major IT companies, such as EMC, Fujitsu, HP, IBM, Microsoft, SAP, Siemens, and T-Mobile.
