Andreas Prinz

Andreas Prinz is a Professor of Systems Engineering at the University of Agder since 2003. He previously served as Vice-Dean for Research (2016-2023) and Scientific Head of eHealth Centre (2017-2019). His academic journey includes guest professorship at Technical University of Cottbus (2000-2001), habilitation at Humboldt University (2001), and PhD in Computer Science (1990).

• Education:
  • 2001: Habilitation, Humboldt University Berlin
  • 1990: PhD in Computer Science, Humboldt University
  • 1988: M.Sc. in Mathematics, Humboldt University

Research Interests:Prinz leads the Systems Engineering and Modeling group. His work spans three major areas:

1. Meta-Modeling and DSLs: Through the SMILE project, he develops domain-specific languages for formal system definitions, including the LanguageLab environment.
2. Educational Technology: Focuses on pedagogical use of technology rather than invention, including the Success MOOC and Success Wiki platforms.
3. Health Technology: Develops personalized eCoaching systems for health promotion, including the Center for eHealth initiatives and ProHealth eCoach applications.

Publication Trends:His recent work (2022-2024) shows a strong focus on:

• Integrating machine learning and ontologies for personalized health recommendations
• Advancing model-driven engineering and DSL development through meta-modeling
• Exploring social simulation and emergency response systems with real-time data processing
• Developing secure microservice architectures for health applications
• Creating game-based learning environments for healthcare education
• Investigating social dynamics through computational models of marginalization

Advising and Leadership:Prinz has supervised numerous PhD, Master's, and Bachelor's theses through the SMILE and LanguageLab projects. He led the ICT department (2007-2015) and served as Vice-Dean for Research (2016-2023).

Labs and Teams:He is associated with:

• SMILE (Systems, Modeling and Language Engineering)
• Center for eHealth
• Academic e-Sports and Game Didactics
• Social Simulation
