MCC renamed to Scalable Software Systems

As of Dec 20, our group has been renamed to Scalable Software Systems.

As part of the Einstein Center Digital Future, ten of the center’s fifty assistant professorships are scheduled to get tenured. In January 2021, Prof. Bermbach was selected as one of the first five based on the recommendations of an international review panel. Effective Dec 20, he was now promoted and tenured as a full professor at the EECS…
