See the chair's research pages, and personal annotated list of publications: by date or by kind. Our work covers most areas of software engineering, with Eiffel and Design by Contract as the unifying thread. Main topics: 
Concurrent programming: building concurrent applications simply & safely through the SCOOP extension to Eiffel. Our concurrency research is supported by an Advanced Investigator Grant of the ERC (2.5 M Euros, 2012-2017).
The Chair of Software Engineering is a fantastic team with 19 PhD theses completed since 2004. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The ETH introductory programming course, taught in English 2003-2009, German since 2010, uses an inverted curriculum approach supported by the Touch of Class textbook and a a MOOC (open online version). The course project in the Distributed Software Engineering Laboratory brings together students from ETH and universities around the world, who build a system collaboratively. We welcome universities interested in joining. Multidisciplinary Robotics Programming Laboratory, open to CS, EE & ME students. Other graduate & undergraduate courses: Software Verification; Concepts of Concurrent Computation; programming language courses (Eiffel in Depth, Java & C# in Depth); Software Architecture; Open-Source EiffelStudio Laboratory; independent-research courses. See course page. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
