Kaunas University of Technology
Lithuania 🇱🇹

The Centre of Information Systems Design Technologies has been established 13 years ago to strengthen the research and development capabilities of the Department of Information Systems, which has been operating since 1993. Besides doing research, the Department is curating two study programmes: Information Systems (1st cycle) and Digital Transformation and System Architectures (2nd cycle). Key R&D areas are as follows:

  • Model driven development, model-to-model transformations
  • Computer-aided software engineering (CASE) technologies
  • Conceptual modelling and databases
  • Modelling of business processes, business vocabularies, and business rules
  • User needs analysis and requirements modelling
  • Ontologies and solutions for the Semantic Web
  • Big data and business intelligence
  • Knowledge based systems
  • Model-driven testing of information systems
  • Gamified information systems
  • Information systems user interface and usability
  • Machine learning
  • Blockchain technologies
