Research Mission Statement

The influence of information on the economy and on conducting business is continually increasing and has profound effects on all sectors of modern economy as well as all aspects of society. The Institute for Data, Process and Knowledge Management focuses its research efforts on business process management, knowledge management, decision support systems, intelligent data management and the semantic Web. The institute is committed to high-quality research in the academic area, including mentoring selected students to become future researchers. Furthermore, partnerships with industry associations, companies and the public administration are strengthened to stay in touch with the rapid development of the field.
