Before discussing the content of this website, let me first briefly introduce myself: my name is Patrick Mäder and I am a computer scientist. My specialization is in software engineering and in development of embedded systems.

Apart from computer science, which is my profession and hobby, I have varied interests in other topics, most notably travelling. During the next time I'm going to enhance this site by pictures of our trips. Amongst others, we have been to New Zealand, where we found the nicest places, we have ever been and to Siberia, where we got bitten by more mosquitos than you can imagine. The best way to cope with them was to sauna in a self-made Banja, as you can see.

On this website you will find some information about myself, about projects I have done and publications mostly written during my current project. At the moment I'm working at the Technical University of Ilmenau in the project: Traceability for Managing Evolutionary Change. This topic is especially interesting for me, as I saw in former projects the necessity for the methods we are going to develop now. I hope you'll enjoy browsing my pages.
