Research is at the core of EBAN Research Lab.
Our work explores the intersection of technology, law and digital society through independent, practice-oriented research. Every project is developed with a focus on long-term usability, transparency and professional application.
Current research programmes include:
DDR Lab
Research on Linux-based operating systems, lightweight computing, professional workstations and digital autonomy.
Current flagship project:
- Linux Trabant
AI Directives
Research into the practical application of artificial intelligence in professional environments, with particular emphasis on legal services, decision support systems and responsible AI governance.
Current flagship project:
- SSM (System of Minimal Synthesis) – An interoperable operational directive for AI-assisted legal practice. Designed to operate consistently across multiple AI models, SSM defines structured workflows, validation checkpoints and human supervision principles that promote transparency, reproducibility and professional accountability.
Web Systems Engineering
Research into web architecture, platform interoperability, structured data, compatibility engineering and the long-term maintainability of modern web applications.
Current flagship project:
- Trabant Total – A lightweight compatibility framework for WordPress that resolves legacy integration issues while preserving stability, transparency and long-term maintainability.
Systems Thinking
Applied research into organisational systems, decision-making processes, workflow design and the interaction between technology and human judgment.
Publications
Research findings are published through technical documentation, articles, essays and independent papers. Some publication initiatives may evolve into dedicated platforms as research programmes continue to develop.
Our research is guided by a simple principle:
Technology should remain understandable, transparent and under the control of its users.
