The Software Competence Center Hagenberg GmbH (SCCH) is an independent research center in the fields of software science and data science in Austria and is one of the holding companies of Upper Austrian Research GmbH , the lead company for research in Upper Austria. Since the founding of the SCCH in 1999, the COMET K1 competence center has relied on application-oriented research and development in the Hagenberg software park . The focus is on data & software science. The close cooperation with partners from science, especially with the founding partner JKU as well as with numerous well-known companies from business and industry, makes the SCCH a prime example of a well-functioning orientation along the 'innovation chain' of education, research and business. The SCCH focuses on software for production as well as on data, which is playing an increasingly important role due to the learning systems. Without this combination of focal points, Industry 4.0 is inconceivable. The COMET Center Software Competence Center Hagenberg is funded as part of COMET - Competence Centers for Excellent Technologies by BMVIT, BMK and the State of Upper Austria. The COMET program is handled by the FFG .

history

The Software Competence Center Hagenberg was founded in July 1999 as part of the Kplus Competence Center Program, the Austrian government program for cooperation between industry and science, by five institutes of the Technical and Natural Sciences Faculty of the Johannes Kepler University Linz (JKU).

Founding institutes:

The Software Competence Center Hagenberg is located in the former Meierhof of Hagenberg Castle .

Organization and tasks

The Software Competence Center Hagenberg is an amalgamation of partners from science, business and economic development at the state level to form a research facility in the fields of software science and data science. The ownership structure is distributed:

  • Upper Austrian Research GmbH: 33.33% (research holding of the Province of Upper Austria )
  • Johannes Kepler University Linz: 33.33%
  • Association of partner companies of the Software Competence Center: 33.33%

Scientific networking exists u. a. with the Czech Technical University Prague , Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha , FH Upper Austria Research and Development GmbH, SBA Research, University of Innsbruck, University of Klagenfurt, University of Passau. At the Johannes Kepler University Linz there is a close network with the founding institutes RISC, FLLL, FAW, SWE, and with the institutes for system software (SSW) and for bioinformatics.

Corporate partners include voestalpine , TRUMPF Maschinen Austria, Siemens Transformers Austria, KEBA AG , Fronius International GmbH , PKE Holding AG, STIWA Holding GmbH , Track Machines Connected GmbH, KTM Innovation GmbH.

Areas of competence

The Software Competence Center Hagenberg focuses in its application-oriented research on the two pillars of data science and software science .

Data Science In data science, data is converted into knowledge. The data-driven modeling is used for data-intensive applications such as fault diagnosis, quality testing, predictive maintenance, process understanding and process optimization. Research in data science uses machine learning in combination with mathematical modeling - which is based on signal and image processing, game theory and optimization.

  • Research topics are: computer vision, deep learning, forecasting methods, machine learning, data analysis, artificial intelligence

Software Science Software Science at SCCH comprises software design, software engineering and software analysis for software maintenance and further development of long-lived, software-intensive, non-conventional software systems, e.g. B. in industrial automation. The methodology on which the research is based is the extraction of knowledge from software artifacts (e.g. source code, configuration files, test cases, comments), static program analysis and test automation.

  • Research topics are: Secure Software Analytics, Software Tests, Human-Centered Software Engineering, Code Extraction, Software Quality
