About
Computer systems permeate our daily life. They support the operation of our financial, medical, educational, and administrative institutions; they facilitate science, manufacturing, transportation, and trade; and they enable new forms of entertainment and social exchange. The Max Planck Institute for Software Systems, located in Kaiserslautern and Saarbrücken, studies the principles of efficient, dependable, secure, and usable computing systems, as well as their interaction with the physical and social context in which they operate. Areas of particular interest include dependable software, social computing, and practical privacy. The Institute conducts foundational research in relevant areas of computer science and beyond, covering theory, empirical analysis, and data-driven investigation.
