The inter-university research group Industrial Software (INSO) deals with the planning, architecture, construction, operation, and maintenance and evolution of (software) systems in the large, real IT environment.
The methodological and empirical focus points are quite "conventional": it is about appropriately required technologies and architectures, about the structure of relevantly effective projects, suitable or unsuitable processes, effective or unsuitable products, and the necessary and capable people and delivery resources (experts, suitable teams, engineering & research) for a successful implementation, i.e. enforcement of an excellent solution.
INSO is science & research of building very complex, very large IT systems. These include: global platforms, whole-of-government systems, overarching mobility solutions, whole-of-government infrastructures, highly secure or high-performance systems.
As an "Engineering Science Group", the empiricism of concrete construction is the methodological primacy in INSO.

Open Source
Researchers and students are strongly encouraged to become involved in the open source eco system to facilitate a continuous reflux of knowledge and technological improvements to the open source community. INSO members currently contributing actively to core open source technologies with the Apache and Eclipse communities.
TOSS
The "Talk on Software & Systems" (TOSS) is a forum of meeting, stimulation and exchange between the reality of information technology in the large environment (IT "in the Large") with the world and the method & way of thinking of science and research in the form of the request of one-sided reporting without regard to academic conceits.
