Data Science & Software Science

Partner for industry and research

Research at Software Competence Center Hagenberg (SCCH) concentrates on equal footing in Data Science and Software Science. The synergy of Data Science and Software Science at SCCH is an important success factor.

As a COMET competence center, SCCH conducts cutting-edge research on an international level. Together with our scientific partners, especially Johannes Kepler University Linz, SCCH strives toward leadership in the future-oriented fields of digitalization and artificial intelligence.

For your Industrial Project

Evaluate the Suitability of a Formal Method

The quality of software and its development processes can be considerably enhanced by using formal engineering methods. Formal methods can be introduced gradually, in customisable ways, with less effort for a start than many will assume. There exist many different methods, each of which suitable for certain project types, settings, and quality goals. But how do you choose the right method for your company or project?

Biomedical Image Analysis

New paper online

Dr. Julian Mattes and his research partners have published a new paper with the title "Associating approximate paths and temporal sequences of noisy detections: Application to the recovery of spatio-temporal cancer cell trajectories".

A Graphical User Interface For A Cosy Home

Successful Cooperation with Windhager Zentralheizung

Together with central heating manufacturer Windhager from Seekirchen near Salzburg, a SAE team led by Mario Winterer implemented the graphical user interface for Windhager's new generation of solid fuel heating systems. This application allows both residents and service technicians comfortable access to heating and hot water functions.

The GUI framework Qt, where the SAE team has extensive professional expertise, has been chosen as base technology for the application.

After months of intense development work, the team was able to release the first modules into an intensive field testing phase.

Round Table: Information Efficiency

BI in the Area of Conflict between Data Technology and Business

1st Roundtable in Linz on 12 October 2015. The TDWI Roundtable offers interested parties a neutral, manufacturer-independent and advertising-free platform in which thoughts and ideas in the data warehouse and BI environment are presented and discussed and in which professionals can get to know each other.

No nanoparticle shall evade us!

New process developed for measuring nanoparticles

In the realm of the project “Nanoparticle Tracking”, funded by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency, researchers at Software Competence Center Hagenberg (SCCH) have succeeded in significantly improving the analysis of nanoparticle samples.

Tackling the Software Crisis

Research Success in Advanced Computing

Following on from the highly successful EU ParaPhrase project, the University of St Andrews has obtained substantial further funding from the Europeon Union under the Horizon 2020 programme to study advanced computing. The 3.5M Euro RePhrase project is coordinated by Professor Kevin Hammond of the University of St Andrews, and brings together 8 leading academic and industry partners from the UK, Austria, Italy, Spain, Hungary and Israel. It aims to tackle one of the most pressing problems in computer science: how to produce effective software for emerging "parallel" computer platforms, that promise significantly increased performance at significantly reduced cost and energy usage.

SCCH presents INDYCO

At the Innovation day in Berlin

At the 22nd Innovation Day of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy in Berlin-Pankow on 11 June, more than 300 companies and research institutions from all over Germany presented a selection of new products, processes and services. The development was mainly supported by subsidies from the Central Innovation Programme Mittelstand (ZIM) or which were developed using research results of the industrial joint research projects and non-profit industry research institutions in East Germany, which are also supported by the BMWI.

DI Dr. Gerhard Dimmler, Head of R&D, ENGEL AUSTRIA

The many years of cooperation with SCCH enable us to develop solutions in the areas of software, quality assurance, test automation and data evaluation that significantly increase the performance of our injection moulding machines and thus our competitiveness. We build on SCCH's scientific excellence and sound basic research and, for our challenges, we benefit above all from the highly practical solution competence of the scientists in the COMET programme.

Univ.-Prof. Dr. Alexander Egyed, Vice Rector and Professor in Software Intensive Systems JKU

Informatics in Upper Austria enjoys a worldwide reputation both for the quality of its education and the excellence of its scientists. This is due to the excellent interaction between the universities and the business environment: JKU provides the brainpower, the industry the challenges, and the SCCH the perfect hub.

Univ.-Prof. Mag. Dr. Paul Grünbacher, Professor Software Systems Engineering, JKU

SCCH is not only an internationally renowned research institution in its core competencies, namely software science and data science, but is also an indispensable link between research and industry. The SCCH also represents the typical spirit of goal-oriented cooperation between politics, business and research for the further development of the region, which is typical for the province of Upper Austria

DI Armin Rau, CEO, TRUMPF Maschinen Austria

Know-how transfer between research and industry (and vice versa) does not simply "happen", but must be strategically defined and consistently implemented. SCCH offers all the necessary structures to be able to quickly enter into cooperative ventures on specific software science and data science topics - both research-oriented and practical. The size of the business partner is not decisive, but the idea behind a joint project.
