Autorenporträt

Dr. Kurt Schneider leitet das Fachgebiet Software Engineering an der Leibniz Universität Hannover. Er hat in Erlangen Informatik studiert und anschließend an der Universität Stuttgart promoviert. Bei einem Forschungsaufenthalt an der University of Colorado at Boulder beschäftigte er sich mit Techniken zum systematischen Lernen aus Erfahrung im Software Engineering. Er war sieben Jahre bei der DaimlerChrysler AG am Forschungszentrum Ulm tätig. In Projekten mit verschiedenen Unternehmensbereichen spielten Softwarequalität, Prozessgestaltung und wiederum die Erfahrungsnutzung eine wichtige Rolle. Zu seinen Forschungsthemen gehören daneben Softwareanforderungen und agile Methoden, um Informationsflüsse und Dokumentationen in Softwareprojekten zu optimieren. Kurt Schneider legt viel Wert darauf, diese Themen praxisnah zu bearbeiten und vermitteln.

Prof. Dr. Dieter Rombach - und Prof. Dr. Peter Liggesmeyer - sind Lehrstuhlinhaber für Software Engineering an der TU Kaiserslautern. Sie leiten gemeinsam das Fraunhofer Institut für Experimentelles Software Engineering.
