We are happy to announce that the special section Model-based Testing as a Service appeared in Volume 19, Issue 3 of the International Journal on Software Tools and Technology Transfer (Springer). The special section shows the results of the MIDAS european project and contains an editorial on model-based testing, an overview of the application of the technologies developed in MIDAS in the industry, as well as two technical papers on test methods. Steffen Herbold co-edited the special section together with Andreas Hoffmann, from the Fraunhofer FOKUS institute in Berlin. 

We are happy to announce that Prof. Dr. Jens Grabowski and Fabian Glaser have been elected as members of the Board of Directors of the Simulation Science Center Clausthal / Göttingen (SWZ). The SWZ "is a common interdisciplinary research facility in simulation science of the Clausthal University of Technology and the University of Göttingen. The core research areas of the SWZ are on developments in mathematical modeling and simulation techniques as well as general simulation methodology and its real world applications such as simulation and optimization of networks, material simulation, distributed simulation, etc. which requires to develop techniques of modeling, analysis, and design for the particular system that are relevant to that specific discipline."

There will be no office hours of Prof. Grabowski on 27. April 2017. In urgent cases, please contact studiendekaninformatik.uni-goettingen.de or studienberatunginformatik.uni-goettingen.de.

We are happy to announce, that the master thesis A Platform for the Integration of Repository Mining and Software Analytics through Big Data Technologies by Fabian Trautsch was rewarded with the MINT-Award Informatik 2016. The reviewer awarded the thesis by Fabian Trautsch with an award for the best work of all submissions. The MINT-Award Informatik 2016 is awarded by the MINT-Initiative Deutschland, which is a nationwide initiative that wants to contribute to a positive attitude to MINT professions in the public. In his thesis Fabian Trautsch describes the design and development of a platform, which incorporates the mining and the analysis of software projects and present it with an easy to use web interface to the researcher. Furthermore, the platform is designed as a general-purpose platform and uses different big data technologies and frameworks (e.g. Apache Spark, Apache Hadoop) to make an efficient and fast analysis of the mined data possible. Fabian Trautsch was collectively supervised by Dr. Steffen Herbold and Prof. Rieck (TU Braunschweig).
