- In our research activities we use models, techniques and tools from the areas of: management sciences, software engineering, algorithmics, data mining, statistics (including Bayesian approach), probability theory, modeling and simulation, discrete mathematics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, formal languages, numerical methods);
- In our business activities we also use a wide spectrum of recognized standards, methods and research tools, such like: CRISP-DM model for data mining, BPMN in business process modeling, TMap, TPI Next processes in improving test processes, GQM methodology for designing KPI metrics programmes, FMEA in risk analysis and many more.
- Business and research requests are performed by Institute's employees having a practical experience in business. They work in software and consulting companies or organizations like Polish Committee for Standardization as experts, software engineers, certified trainers, analysts and consultants. They also have a big experience in conducting trainings and lectures, including courser preparing for certification in programming (C++, Java) and software testing (ISTQB).
