The Software Systems Programming and Development Chair at the Institute of Computer Science covers both the development and evaluation of software artifacts. Our research focuses on adaptive software ranging from flexible process-oriented and event- driven systems to neuro-adaptive software systems and software development tools. We put special emphasis on topics in the fields of business process management (BPM) and process engineering, including process modeling, automation and mining. Moreover, we conduct research on human and cognitive aspects in software and process engineering.

The University of St.Gallen commits itself to increasing the number of international and female scholars among its faculty. Therefore, we especially welcome applications from international scholars and women.
