More and more companies from all industries map all their processes digitally and therefore turn into digital enterprises. In this course, business software is the critical driver for product and process innovations and develops itself into open, scalable, service-oriented software platforms. The Software Cluster pursues the vision of the digital enterprise and hence addresses, among other things, the application of cloud computing technologies and the encouragement of new, modified business models, made possible by this technology application. The English-speaking Summer School is sponsored by the German Academic Exchange Service in the context of the German-Arab Transformation Partnership Program. The Software Cluster, as the German top class cluster, supports this event and its program in order to encourage the exchange between young researchers.
