Department of Distributed and Dependable Systems

School of Computer Science, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University

Our department is responsible for research and education in the advanced techniques for building reliable component-based software especially in the field of distributed and dependable systems, spanning from smart cyber-physical systems and IoT to cloud-based backends. Our research comprises advanced software architectures, adaptation, model-driven development, model-based testing, formal verification of software, performance measurement and modeling.

The vision pursued by our department is that of high-quality scientific research with strong industrial relevance, with the aim to enable rapid and cost-efficient production of complex and reliable software systems. To achieve this vision, our department actively collaborates on the national and international level with both academic and industrial partners.
