+# External AI agent skills — software-architect
+
+Proven, publicly available AI agent skills mapped to this occupation.
+Nothing is copied from the sources: every entry is a name, a one-line
+summary and a link to the upstream skill package. Each section names
+its source repository, commit, license and retrieval date.
+
+**Tiers:** `core` = the skill directly exercises a top market hard
+skill, tool or method (from gated job-ad evidence) or an essential
+ESCO competence of this occupation; `adjacent` =
+plausibly useful, secondary. Entries are capped at 12 per source
+and 80 in total per occupation (core first,
+strongest matches survive); everything beyond the caps is excluded
+and logged in the pipeline audit trail, not in this package.
+
+_Matched deterministically (ISCO group + title/competence keywords,
+tiered against market evidence + ESCO essentials) by

+## Die Tätigkeit im Überblick
+
+Software-Architects konzipieren und planen Softwaresysteme, entwerfen deren Aufbau und wählen technische Ansätze aus.
+
+## Trends
+
+QuantencomputingComputer, die mehrere Berechnungen mit mehreren Eingaben gleichzeitig vornehmen können; klassische Computer können jeweils nur einen Satz von Eingaben und eine Berechnung gleichzeitig verarbeiten; Quantencomputer können parallele und deutlich komplexere Rechenoperationen ausführen
+" name="Quantencomputer">Quantencomputer sind Rechner, die Quantenmechanik nutzen und dadurch ihre Rechenleistung bei komplexen Problemen exponentiell steigern können. Sie sollen künftig z.B. dabei helfen, Krankheiten wie Alzheimer-Demenz oder Morbus Parkinson besser zu verstehen und maßgeschneiderte Medikamente zu entwickeln. Auch bei anderen praktischen Anwendungen, etwa der Verkehrssteuerung, der Materialwissenschaft oder im Finanzwesen könnte Quantencomputing nützlich sein. Quantencomputer werden bisher hauptsächlich in der Forschung eingesetzt. Fach- und Führungskräfte in der Informatik sollten sich mit den Entwicklungen auf diesem Gebiet beschäftigen. 
+Edge Computing: Dezentrale Datenverarbeitung am NetzwerkrandAnwendungen für Industrie 4.0, Smart Cities und das Digitale Plattformen, die verschiedenartige Geräte und Applikationen über das Internet der Dinge vernetzen. Die Plattformen sorgen für den Informationsaustausch, indem sie systemübergreifende Verknüpfungen herstellen und Funktionen zur Steuerung und zur Analyse von Daten bieten.

+ Speziell in der Lebensmittelherstellung und im Weinbau: Beurteilung von Lebensmitteln und Rohstoffen über die Sinnesorgane, zum Beispiel Geruch, Geschmack, Farbe (sensorische Prüfung).
+" name="Sensorik">Sensor- und Gerätedaten, die Unternehmen nahezu in Echtzeit verarbeiten. Bei zentraler Datenverarbeitung schicken die Geräte ihre Daten an eine Bereitstellung von Computerressourcen über das Internet. Infrastruktur wie Server oder Datenspeicher, aber auch Software, Plattformen und Funktionen müssen nicht auf lokalen Computern vorgehalten werden, sondern stehen als Dienstleistung bereit. IT-Dienstleistungen können so dynamisch an den Bedarf angepasst angeboten, genutzt und abgerechnet werden.

+
+## Aufgaben und Tätigkeiten im Einzelnen
+
+Unternehmens-, System- oder Anwendungsarchitektur konzipieren und weiterentwickeln
+Anforderungen an Softwaresysteme analysieren und mit Beteiligten abstimmen, Qualitätsziele und technische Rahmenbedingungen festlegen
+
+Erweiterung oder Änderung der Softwarearchitektur konzipieren
+
+technische Ansätze auswählen, beschreiben und begründen, z.B. Programmiersprachen und Programmbibliotheken
