We are delighted to announce that the 2025 ACM SIGBED Technical Achievement Award has been awarded to Professor Reinhard Wilhelm of Saarland University. This award, established by ACM SIGBED in 2022, recognizes significant and sustained contributions to research and system implementations in embedded, real-time, and cyber-physical systems. It honors technical…
AI assistants have rapidly become part of everyday life – whether through our interactions with large language models like ChatGPT or in medical applications that help interpret complex datasets. Yet, despite their widespread use, AI systems still make surprisingly simple mistakes that persist even after extensive training. They also lack…
Outstanding research performance in academia is often measured by how frequently a scholar’s work is cited by others. Each year, the ‘Highly Cited Researchers’ list recognizes leading experts in specific fields whose publications are among the most frequently cited worldwide. This year, three researchers from Saarland University have once again…
Wird die in der EU diskutierte Chatkontrolle bald durch Hintertüren die Privatheit unserer Nachrichten untergraben? Verändern KI-Webbrowser wie die von Perplexity und OpenAI gerade das Internet? Und wird Deutschland mit dem neuen Hochleistungsrechner „Jupiter“ doch noch zur Supercomputing-Nation? Um bei der rasanten Entwicklung neuer Technologien durchzublicken, ist fundierter Journalismus gefragt. Die…
When writing program code, software developers often work in pairs—a practice that reduces errors and encourages knowledge sharing. Increasingly, AI assistants are now being used for this role. But this shift in working practice isn’t without its drawbacks, as a new empirical study by computer scientists in Saarbrücken reveals. Developers…
