The Berlin-based artist Alicja Kwade had her personal genome printed out for her exhibition “In Absence” – on 314,000 DIN A4 pages of paper. To do this, she collaborated with Sven Rahmann, bioinformatics professor at Saarland University. The exhibition can be visited at the Berlinische Galerie until April 4.
Two papers from Saarland Informatics Campus have received an “Honorable Mention” for the “Outstanding Paper Award” at the 36th AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI 2022). Both papers are part of the Transregional Collaborative Research Center “Foundations of Perspicuous Software Systems” funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).
Leopoldo Motta Teixeira, PhD in Computer Science, recently started a one-year research stay as guest professor at the Chair of Software Engineering of Sven Apel at Saarland University. The scientist from the Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (UFPE) in Recife, Brazil, mainly focuses on software engineering questions. The stay is financed by a Capes-Humboldt research fellowship of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.

Knowing how long a program needs to perform its calculations is of central importance for many applications. Only with this knowledge can one guarantee that time-critical systems in cars, airplanes or industrial plants react in time. The architecture of the computer on which software runs is very important for the runtime of programs and their analysis. In 2003, a team of computer scientists from Saarland University led by Professor Reinhard Wilhelm showed exactly how important this is – and [...]
The Centre for Higher Education (Centrum für Hochschulentwicklung CHE) today published its ranking for the master’s programs in computer science, mathematics and physics. Computer Science at Saarland University reaches the top group in several categories. The ranking is based on student evaluations. For the first time, a special survey was conducted to inquire about studying during the Corona pandemic. The results show that computer science master’s students at Saarland University are [...]
