opportunity for students to enjoy a unique elite education in IT
systems engineering in a professional and effective research
environment with a strong practice orientation.

In 2005, HPI has initiated the highly successful research school on
"Service-Oriented Systems Engineering" under the scientific guidance
of Profs. Dres. Jürgen Döllner, Robert Hirschfeld, Christoph Meinel,
Hasso Plattner, Andreas Polze, Mathias Weske, Werner Zorn.  Scholarships
will be available for

     PhD-Students (monthly 1400 Euro) and

The main research areas in the research school at HPI are:

      * Self-Adaptive Service-Oriented Systems
      * Operating System Support for Service-Oriented Systems
      * Architecture and Modeling of Service-Oriented Systems
      * Aspect-Oriented Composition Architectures
      * Adaptive Process Management
      * Services Composition and Workflow Planning
      * Security Engineering of Service-Based IT Systems
      * Quantitative Analysis und Optimization of Service-Oriented  
Systems
      * Service-Oriented Systems in 3D Computer Graphics
