Internal info

The research is centered around a number of core areas within software development support, with central themes of integrated environments, object-oriented languages (in the tradition of Simula, BETA, and Java), and embedded systems such as industrial robots and mobile phones. The research method is focused on experimental implementation and development of theory that is of practical relevance. There is much interaction between the individual projects, with a strive for integrating the developed core technologies.

We are seeking new PhD students and master's thesis students. Please contact anyone involved in the corresponding projects for more details.
