History of the Application Engineering Research Group

The Application Engineering Research Group has been established on April 1st, 1990, as a unit of the former Institute of Informatics.

In 1997, this institute has been split into three institutes (as units of the former Faculty of Economics, Business Administration and Informatics). Since then the AE Research group was part of the Institute of Business Informatics and Application Systems, which was renamed to Institut of Applied Informatics in 2007 on the occasion of the foundation of the Faculty of Technical Sciences.

In 2022 the institute was renamed again to Institut of Artificial Intelligence und Cybersecurity.

With the emeritation of the group leader on September 30th, 2016, the AE Research Group is no longer a formal unit but an associated group of researchers who continue to cooperate.
