  • What if we could take a look at the technological landscape of 2055? In this interactive keynote, we go on a journey through time - not to make accurate predictions, but to learn from the mistakes, surprises and patterns of past forecasts. Robert Zemeckis kept us floating above the ground until 2015, while software visionaries buried COBOL decades ago. Some visions burned out, others became reality - just in a completely different way than expected. It is precisely in this difference that insight lies: what can we learn from the predictions of the past about the future that awaits us? We analyze how physical technologies and software paradigms have developed - and what this reveals about what is to come. But this journey does not end with my view of things: During the session you will actively shape, share your assessments and together we will design a technological time capsule of the year 2055.

    What makes a planet life-friendly? What conditions must be met for life to develop - and how do we find such places in space? In this lecture, Prof. Heike Rauer gives an insight into modern exoplanet research and the interdisciplinary ESA large-scale project “PLATO”, which will be searching for Earth-like planets in habitable zones from 2026. The lecture will shed light on how space telescopes, precise measurement methods and modeling work together to expand our understanding of planetary systems and living conditions in the cosmos.

    Prof. Dr. Heike Rauer is Director of the DLR Institute of Planetary Research and Professor of Planetology at Freie Universität Berlin. She heads the European instrument consortium for ESA's PLATO space telescope, which is set to detect Earth-like planets in habitable zones from 2026. Her research focuses on exoplanets, planetary systems and the question of the origin of living conditions in space. She previously worked at TU Berlin and the Observatoire de Paris and has been involved in international ESA missions for many years - including CoRoT, Rosetta and NGTS.

  • In practice, it's not about either-or, but about each other. This session is aimed at developers who want to change their perspective: Away from competitive thinking, towards collaboration with AI. We will look at how autonomous AI agents do not replace human skills, but on the contrary can specifically enhance them - be it in everyday coding, support or business workflows. With concrete use cases, architecture patterns and technical options, we show how hybrid teams of humans and machines are becoming a reality - and why this is precisely where the real potential of AI lies.

30 years of interfaces - Why we keep making the same mistakes with APIs and system integration

German | 10:30 - 11:00 |Thilo Frotscher - Freelance

Details-Abschnitt
Learn more
  • They say that everything comes back in fashion. Perhaps this is because there are only a limited number of different solutions for certain creative tasks. Trousers are either tight or wide. Or something in between. What does this have to do with interfaces? It's very similar there! There are always supposedly new technological trends: CORBA, SOAP, REST, APIs... But if you've been around for a while, you quickly realize that these approaches are not so fundamentally different. The challenges of system integration remain the same - and we often fall into the same traps. Why do we always seem to stumble across the same problems despite decades of technical experience? Do we not learn from the past? Instead of being dazzled by new terms, we should understand and apply the basic principles. Will we be able to draw the right conclusions from these findings for future tasks - or will it all just be a fashionable déjà vu?

21 years of Domain Driven Design: a journey through architecture and change

German | 11:05 - 11:30 | Michael Plöd - INNOQ

Details-Abschnitt
Learn more
  • The book “Domain Driven Design - Tackling Complexity in the Heart of Software” by Eric Evans was published in 2003 - 21 years ago. An eternity in IT, in which software development and architecture have changed fundamentally. This session explores the question of how Domain Driven Design (DDD) has developed during this time. The path leads from service-oriented architectures and object-oriented analysis with UML through the emergence of agile methods, the rise of microservices and the cloud to today's topics such as serverless, AI and data mesh. DDD was present in all these phases - sometimes more strongly, sometimes in the background. What has changed? Which new concepts, such as collaborative modeling, have been added? Which ideas have lost relevance? And what role can DDD still play in the future?

Back to the Future? What we learn from 30 years of software architecture for tomorrow

German | 11:05 - 11:30 | Eberhard Wolff - SWAGLab

Details-Abschnitt
Learn more
  • How will we design software architectures in the future? A look into the past helps to distinguish fundamental principles from short-lived trends. What did the world of software architecture look like 20 or 30 years ago - and what insights can be derived from this? Service orientation, Java Enterprise, agile methods, microservices, cloud, AI - many concepts came and went, some stayed. Domain-driven approaches and modularization are just as relevant today as they were back then, but in a new form. This session takes a look at the development of software architecture and asks which decisions we should rethink today based on historical experience - with the aim of developing sustainable architecture work for tomorrow.

  • Believe it or not, there are already over a million LLMs available on Hugging Face, including public-facing GPTs like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Mistral, Qwen, DeepSeek, and many more. For programmers, this field is equally rich, with a vast array of specific coding tools like Devin, CoPilot, Cursor, Aider, Vercel, Cline, Replit, and numerous others. We’ll briefly cover all of these tools, hoping to introduce you to a few you may not have used yet. ​ The main focus of this talk will be on the different types of LLMs available for download and use today. We’ll explore instruction-following, tool-calling, chat, coding, chain-of-thought, reasoning, multi-modal, TTS, STT, and more. There will be a bit of code, a few demos, and a lot of LLMs.

“State of the art” software development in the year 2035

German | 12:00 - 12:25 | Lars Röwekamp - OPEN KNOWLEDGE GmbH

Details-Abschnitt
Learn more
  • The year is 2035 and the way in which software is developed has undergone a drastic (r)evolution in the last ten years. The gloomy predictions from 2025, drawn in the shadow of the then rapidly emerging generative AI, have not materialized - and yet hardly anything is the same as it used to be. Programming languages? A side note at best. Development tools? Mostly fully automated. Traditional coding skills? Rarely in demand. Generative AI has not only replaced tools, it has also profoundly changed mindsets, processes and roles. Lars Röwekamp, self-proclaimed “grandfather of software engineering”, takes you on a journey through a decade of change - and shows how, step by step, a completely new understanding of software development has emerged. Welcome to the year 2035 - where the “state of the art” is no longer written by humans, but co-created.

  • This session is a great eulogy for Kubernetes. Why? Because Kubernetes is the data center you want today. Period. And much more: Kubernetes is the platform on which everything runs - and will run. Microservices? Of course. WebAssembly? It runs. LLMs? Of course. Kubernetes has not only come to stay - it has come to carry everything. So buckle up, lean back and celebrate what has long been clear: One Size Fits All. Kubernetes rules.

  • Authentication has evolved continuously over the last three decades - from simple passwords and multi-factor methods to biometric and passwordless approaches such as passkeys. But what does the next stage look like - in an increasingly connected, mobile and AI-powered world? This session will highlight key milestones in authentication technologies, analyze current challenges such as security, user-friendliness and data protection and take an in-depth look at future developments. The focus will be on concepts such as verifiable credentials (VCs) and self-sovereign identity - with all their potential for decentralized, user-controlled identity management. We reflect on what we have learned from the last 30 years - and which regulatory, technical and social course must be set today in order to make authentication secure, practicable and future-proof.

Domain-Driven Transformation: Von Monolithen über Modulithen zu Microservices

German | 12:35 - 13:00 | Dr. Carola Lilienthal - WPS Workplace Solutions

Details-Abschnitt
Learn more
  • Over the last few decades, we have created many good software solutions using modern programming languages. So it was only logical that our users kept asking for new and extended functionality, which we built in for them, making our software solutions ever larger and more confusing. The result, complex, convoluted monoliths, continues to occupy parts of our industry and we are trying to make their architecture as modular as possible and break down the monoliths. Domain-Driven Transformation provides us with a methodology that can be used to improve the architecture of legacy systems so that the monolith becomes a modulith and ultimately a distributed architecture of microservices. Four steps lead from the assessment of the current state to a domain-oriented vision of the architecture and a plan to move the architecture in this direction.

  • How has software development changed over the last four decades - and what does this mean for everyone who (learns to) program today? Sebastian Bergmann, pioneer of the PHP community and inventor of PHPUnit, takes us on a personal journey through time: from the first lines of code on the Amiga to today's reality with web technologies, automation and artificial intelligence (AI). The session shows how much ways of thinking, tools and requirements have changed - and why this development is just as relevant for beginners as it is for experienced developers. Those who understand where we are coming from can make smarter decisions for what lies ahead.

  • Answering questions, summarizing texts, generating images - all well and good. But artificial intelligence (AI) becomes really helpful when it learns to make decisions itself and work together with other AIs in a team. In this session, you will gain insights into the structure of modern agent systems: You will learn how AI agents are structured, how the division of labor works and the principles behind cooperating agents. The concepts are made tangible using concrete use cases. Jörg Neumann provides the theoretical foundation and shows where this form of AI is currently heading - for anyone who wants to understand what is really happening under the surface of “autonomous AI”.

  • How does software development change when AI coding assistants become a daily tool? Two years of intensive practice with tools such as GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT and others lie behind me - after more than two decades of professional development experience and with the ambition to deeply understand my own code. This session is not a hype report, but a well-founded experience report: What really works? Where are the limits? And how does your own development style change when interacting with AI Using concrete examples, I will show where real productivity boosts can be achieved - and where the use of AI is more disruptive than helpful. The idea of the “100x developer” sounds tempting, but the reality is much more complex. An honest assessment from the perspective of a developer who wants to know exactly.

All About TypeScript Moving to Go: What’s Really Changing – and Why It Matters

English | 13:45 - 14:15 | Tamar Stern - Cytwist

Details-Abschnitt

  • Recently, the TypeScript team announced it’s moving to Go. That raised a lot of questions. What exactly is moving? Is it still TypeScript as we know it? And why Go? The team promises a “10x faster” TypeScript experience – but what does that really mean? This session takes a closer look at what’s actually changing under the hood. We’ll explore which parts of the TypeScript environment are being rewritten in Go, what problems the team wanted to solve, and how this decision connects to performance, maintainability, and the role of Node.js in the ecosystem. Along the way, we’ll look at how language tooling evolves – and what this move tells us about engineering trade-offs that go far beyond TypeScript itself.

  • Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) hat sich in den letzten 30 Jahren ständig neu erfunden – begleitet von Erwartungen, Erfolgen und Rückschlägen. Diese Session wirft einen fundierten Blick auf zentrale Etappen dieser Entwicklung und zeigt, welche Konzepte tragfähig waren, wo typische Probleme auftraten und welche Herausforderungen bis heute bestehen. Im Zentrum steht dabei nicht die nächste Trendwelle, sondern die Frage: Wie lässt sich KI heute sinnvoll einsetzen – in einem Umfeld, das sich ständig verändert? Die Session richtet sich an alle, die über den Hype hinausdenken und fundierte Impulse suchen – für den nachhaltigen, praktischen Umgang mit KI im Software Engineering.

Responsible software design: How we as architects need to learn to think differently

German | 15:05 -15:30 | Uwe Friedrichsen - codecentric AG

Details-Abschnitt
Learn more
  • We talk about resilience, scalability, sustainability, complexity, artificial intelligence (AI) - but none of these challenges are new. The question is: how have we as architects responded to them so far - and why have these responses often not been effective enough? This session does not focus on another checklist of modern requirements, but rather reflects on our professional self-image: What patterns in our thinking and actions have proven to be a hindrance? What do we learn from past mistakes? And how do we design systems on this basis that will be sustainable in the future? Responsible software design means consciously designing - technically, strategically and socially. If you want to build systems that are effective in the long term, you need more than just good tools - you need a new mental model for architecture.

  • Cloud technologies are driving innovation - but how can digital sovereignty be ensured in the process? Open source technologies such as Kubernetes and the CNCF ecosystem offer a way out of dependence on proprietary platforms without sacrificing scalability, flexibility or efficiency. This session will use concrete examples to show how cloud-native architectures strengthen companies and public institutions - technologically and strategically. Kubernetes not only enables portable and resilient infrastructures, but also promotes an open culture of innovation that makes people independent in the long term. The focus is on practical approaches to how digital sovereignty can be implemented through technological decisions - for future-proof IT in sovereign hands.

Crime scene architecture: How forensic analyses help to make software durable

German | 15:45 - 16:45 | Manfred Steyer - ANGULARarchitects

Details-Abschnitt

  • Software solutions must remain maintainable in the long term - and a sustainable architecture is crucial for this. But how can you assess whether the originally chosen structure still meets current requirements? And where are targeted improvements necessary? Traditional analyses of dependencies and metrics quickly reach their limits. Forensic analyses go much further: they include historical development data and uncover hidden patterns and critical problem areas. In this session, Manfred Steyer - a globally recognized Angular expert - will use practical examples to show how architectures can be evaluated using forensic methods. The focus will be on specific types of analysis, typical findings, but also on the limitations of this approach and possible alternatives. By the end, you will know how to use forensic analyses in a targeted manner to keep your software maintainable and structurally sound in the long term - regardless of the technology stack.

  • Wie schaffen es KI-Coding-Assistenten, auf Basis von teilweise vagem Input hilfreichen Code zu generieren? In dieser Session nimmt dich Rainer Stropek mit auf eine Tour hinter die Kulissen: Mithilfe technischer Proxies analysieren wir, wie moderne Tools den Prompt-Flow steuern, Kontext aufbereiten und Large Language Models (LLMs) nutzen, um kontextsensitiven Code zu erzeugen. Du bekommst ein besseres Verständnis dafür, wie diese Systeme intern arbeiten – und was das für ihre Stärken, Schwächen und sinnvolle Einsatzszenarien bedeutet. Ideal für alle, die Coding-KI nicht nur nutzen, sondern auch durchschauen wollen.

  • Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) gibt es seit über 25 Jahren, SQL Injection ist älter als viele Entwickler:innen – und auch Angriffe wie Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) begleiten uns seit Jahrzehnten. Und trotzdem: In den OWASP Top Ten stehen genau diese Klassiker auch heute noch ganz oben. Was läuft hier schief? Sind wir beratungsresistent? Ist sichere Webentwicklung zu kompliziert? Oder sind die bekannten Gegenmaßnahmen in der Praxis einfach nicht wirksam genug? Diese Session blickt zurück auf 30 Jahre Web Application Security – auf Muster, Versäumnisse und strukturelle Probleme. Und sie fragt: Was müssen wir heute anders machen, damit wir in zehn Jahren nicht dieselben Angriffe auf derselben Liste sehen?

  • Large Language Models (LLMs) erleben derzeit einen enormen Aufschwung. Einer der häufigsten Anwendungsfälle: intelligente Wissenssuchsysteme – oder einfacher gesagt: Chatbots. Ob auf der Website einer Fluggesellschaft oder im Intranet eines Unternehmens – Chatbots sind allgegenwärtig. Doch viele dieser Anwendungen bleiben hinter den Erwartungen zurück. Die zugrunde liegende Methode bei vielen dieser Systeme heißt Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG): Eine spezifische Datenbasis wird mit einem LLM verbunden. Obwohl es zahlreiche Ansätze gibt, die Leistung solcher Systeme zu verbessern, wird ein Aspekt oft übersehen – die Daten selbst. In dieser Session erkläre ich RAG als technisches Fundament wissensbasierter KI-Anwendungen, zeige typische Fallstricke auf und demonstriere anhand des oft unterschätzten ersten Schritts – dem Chunking –, worauf es wirklich ankommt. Wer einen Chatbot entwickeln oder produktiv einsetzen will, sollte wissen, was passieren muss, bevor man ihm vertrauen kann.

  • The vision of a passwordless future has been around for years — and with passkeys, it’s becoming a reality. But where do we actually stand today? This talk takes you on a journey through the past, present, and future of passkeys: from the origins of passwordless authentication, to the current state of platform and browser support, and the future potential of a fully passwordless web. You’ll learn how passkeys work under the hood, leveraging public-key cryptography to eliminate phishing risks and streamline the login experience. Based on real-world implementations, we’ll share honest insights: Which platforms support passkeys reliably — and where are the limitations? How do users respond to passkey-based authentication? What do developers need to know to adopt passkeys today? Join Google Developer Expert Martina Kraus for a technically deep and experience-driven session that answers not just why passkeys matter, but also how to use them — and whether we’re truly ready to say goodbye to passwords once and for all.
