Identifying, abstracting and reducing complexity | Methodical approach | Interdisciplinary work| Designing and planning software solutions | Programming software solutions | Testing, maintaining and further developing software solutions
The Institute of Computer Science sees itself as an interdisciplinary centre of excellence in the field of information and communication technologies. Our students learn the key competencies and skills needed, and do so in both a practice-oriented way in a collegial environment. Our practice-oriented and research-led teaching allows students to get involved in research projects, enabling them to experience technological innovation first hand.
IT Fundamentals
Fundamentals are the building blocks of every good education. We teach our students the basics in:
Software architecture and design
As well as teaching them the basic concepts of software design and architecture, we provide our students with insights into the following, among other things:
Data science
Making an increasing flood of data manageable is our goal in the field of data science. Our students learn methods and tools for:
IT Management
In information technology management, we deal with the creation and use of information technology, with a focus on the following points:
eHealth & Social Informatics
Our goal is to develop assistive technologies to support different target groups in their everyday lives. In various application areas such as Ambient or Active & Assisted Living (AAL), prevention and rehabilitation we deal with:
Care about Care – C^C
‘Care about Care’ (C^C) aims to support the ecosystem of professional home care (care workers, care recipients, family and non-kin carers, home care organizations, software providers) by providing new ICT-enhanced ways of collaboration, assistance and information exchange. By developing and combining ICT-based solutions C^C intends to: (i) initiate new ways of collaboration, workflows and (remote) support to make care work more attractive, (ii) provide tools for sharing information between members of the care network and (ii) promote knowledge transfer between them. FH Wiener Neustadt is coordinating the project and leading the development of the Remote Care Assist service.

CARU Cares
'CARU cares' combines one of the most successful AAL services of the past - the emergency call - with new functions to support care workers in documenting their care activities. The result is a new, attractive and non-stigmatising way for elderly people in assisted living environments to make an emergency call to increase their sense of security and quality of life. The tasks of the FH Wiener Neustadt in the project are support within the framework of the co-creation and requirements process, conception and implementation of a component for location and context analysis as well as participation in the evaluation of the system. CARU cares will be tested and evaluated in Austria, Switzerland and Belgium. (Funding authority: FFG and Active Assisted Living Programme; Website: https://carucares.com/)

AgeWell
AgeWell is developing a virtual coach to accompany older workers during and beyond the retirement process. The main focus of the project is on promoting a meaningful life and a healthy lifestyle. In the project, the FH Wiener Neustadt is responsible for the integration of the respective Austrian target group, for the selection of the robot components, as well as for the implementation of the intended case scenarios.
