Die Fakultät für Elektrotechnik, Informatik und Mathematik lädt Sie herzlich am Dienstag, 27.05., ab 14.15 Uhr zu den Antrittsvorlesungen von Jun.-Prof. Dr. Mohamed Aboubakr Mohamed Soliman (Software-Resilienz) und Prof. Dr. Sina Saravi (Modellierung und Entwurf photonischer Quantensysteme) ein.
Sina Saravi: Photonic systems for neuromorphic and quantum information processing
Photonic systems, with light as the carrier of information, are attractive candidates for implementation of the newly emerging paradigms for information processing. These new technologies aim to use physical systems instead of a conventional digital computer for information processing: Quantum photonic technologies aim to use the fundamental laws of quantum mechanics for realizing a new generation of quantum computers and communication networks. Neuromorphic photonic systems aim to implement neuromorphic computational algorithms, such as neural networks, in a physical system that runs on light. In this talk, I will first give a brief introduction into these fields of research, and then present my contributions and ongoing efforts in these fields, which are mainly towards the design, description, and implementation of photonic hardware for realization of these technologies.
Mohamed Soliman: Acquiring architectural knowledge from software repositories
The quality of software systems is crucial across various domains. However, software engineers often face challenges in making optimal design decisions due to a lack of architectural knowledge (AK) from existing software systems, as well as limited AK about architectural solutions, such as technologies and patterns, their interrelationships, and tradeoffs. In this talk, I am going to present my research steps and contributions on discovering AK in software repositories, including issue tracking systems and popular developer’s communities on the Web. Moreover, I am going to discuss how these contributions benefit software engineers to make more informed design decisions.
