Research on complex electronic systems
The scientists at the division Adaptive Systems Engineering EAS of Fraunhofer IIS in Dresden are working on key technologies for the networked world of tomorrow. The focus here is on the design of microchips and complex electronic systems with future-oriented technologies.
Adaptivity is an indispensable characteristic for the networked world of tomorrow. Intelligent electronic components can recognize and evaluate changes in their environment or in themselves and react accordingly. As a partner to industry, Fraunhofer IIS in Dresden develops key technologies for such adaptive systems and offers innovative and robust solutions.
In addition, the focus is on the development of intelligent sensor technology, the analysis of large amounts of data and new approaches for the control of automation processes. Tailored to the current and future requirements of the economy, adaptive and robust technological solutions are developed, particularly in the areas of mobility and industrial automation.

IC design skills
The increasing miniaturization of electronics, the requirements for (data) security, new production technologies and more and more functions in the smallest of spaces pose particular challenges for their performance and the design process.
The work of the Fraunhofer IIS EAS in Dresden is therefore focused on countering the constant miniaturization of semiconductor components and the growing complexity of circuits with new design concepts. The aim is to ensure fast, resource-saving, error-free and safe development of electronic systems.
On the other hand, the focus is also on new technologies under the aspect of "More than Moore". These allow a wide variety of assemblies to be combined in one component, which, among other things, enables higher performance with more efficient energy utilization. With its design expertise, Fraunhofer IIS / EAS also develops high-performance technical systems that use innovative approaches to master particularly complex tasks.
