Johannes Kepler University Linz
	Department of Telecooperation
	Information Systems Group

Johannes Kepler University Linz (JKU) is one of the largest academic institutions in Austria. The Department of Telecooperation (TK) and the Information Systems Group (IFS), being the two main protagonists of BeAware! at the JKU, have a strong tradition in teaching and research in telemedia systems, software technology for telecooperation, conceptual modeling, integration engineering, context-aware systems and database systems. Specifically, the focus of both departments has centered around four different research fields, namely,

• integration of heterogeneous systems,
• development and application of semantic technologies for model engineering and road traffic management systems,
• model-driven development of ubiquitous web applications and context-aware systems, and finally
• performance issues in large scale software systems.

Especially these four research fields are of major importance for BeWare!, providing an excellent starting point for realizing the key research goals followed by BeAware!.
