Location & approach

By car

The campus of the Technical University of Dortmund is located near the freeway junction Dortmund West, where the Sauerland line A45 crosses the Ruhr expressway B1/A40. The Dortmund-Eichlinghofen exit on the A45 leads to the South Campus, the Dortmund-Dorstfeld exit on the A40 leads to the North Campus. The university is signposted at both exits.

By bus and train

The "Dortmund Universität" S-Bahn station is located directly on the North Campus. From there, the S-Bahn line S1 runs every 20 or 30 minutes to Dortmund main station and in the opposite direction to Düsseldorf main station via Bochum, Essen and Duisburg. In addition, the university can be reached by bus lines 445, 447 and 462. Timetable information can be found on the homepage of the Rhine-Ruhr Transport Association, and DSW21 also offer an interactive route network ma

The H-Bahn

One of the landmarks of the TU Dortmund is the H-Bahn. Line 1 runs every 10 minutes between Dortmund Eichlinghofen and the Technology Center via Campus South and Dortmund University S, while Line 2 commutes every 5 minutes between Campus North and Campus South. It covers this distance in two minutes.

By plane

From Dortmund Airport, the AirportExpress takes just over 20 minutes to Dortmund's main train station, and from there, the S-Bahn takes you to the university. A wider range of international flight connections is offered by Düsseldorf Airport, about 60 kilometers away, which can be reached directly by S-Bahn from the university's train station.

Research Profile

Research Area "Distributed and Embedded Systems"

Computer science develops and implements information-processing systems ranging from individual computers to globally networked computers on the Internet. A particularly dynamic area is the integration of computers into other products, such as cars, cell phones or robots. Such systems enable control and interaction of the product with its environment - be it other technical systems or the user. Modern technical systems, such as cars, contain numerous simple computing systems (embedded systems) that must interact with each other and with the driver to ensure error-free operation. The design of networked embedded systems requires principles, methods and tools that make the complexity manageable and enable efficient realization.

Exemplary research topics include the following:

Design, analysis and evaluation of networked and distributed systems, for example in terms of performance, resilience and consistency.
Predictive assessment of quantitative properties such as effectiveness, efficiency, reliability and availability of information processing systems
Systematic development and maintenance of distributed software systems, such as those found in networks and network-based services, for example Internet-based information systems
Interaction between users and environment via sensors
Integrated design of hardware and software using high-level languages and adapted compiler technology
