The research and teaching comprises of information and process management in industry, services and administration. Of particular importance is the transfer of technology from science to practice. The interdisciplinary structure of the staff and research projects also encourages the exchange of specialist knowledge from different disciplines.
Research
The IWi at the DFKI focuses intensively on the implementation of artificial intelligence in commercial environments and especially within business process management. In the context of current developments in fundamental AI research, this topic is now also of central importance in application-oriented research.
Business Process Management (BPM) & Analytics
Based on many years of experience in BPM research, the IWi concentrates on researching the potential of using artificial intelligence in process data with the goal of generating added value for the processes and companies involved. This includes in particular the research areas of Process Mining, Process Analytics, Reference Model Mining and Predictive Process Monitoring.
Digital Administration
Together with industry partners and public authorities, the IWi is working on digitizing administrative processes and using business process management and artificial intelligence techniques to simplify and accelerate administrative processes for citizens and public authorities.
Tax Technology
Due to the high complexity of the processes and legal texts, the high costs and the high entrepreneurial risk, the tax area is ideally suited for the use of AI. Together with practice partners, the competence centre „Tax Technology“ of IWi, DFKI, investigates on the influence of digitalization and Artificial Intelligence on future tax consultancy.
