Research Projects

We aim to foster our research through collaboration with other national or international groups in software engineering research projects. Based on our experience and ongoing research activities in software engineering we can identify a number of relevant but open problems in software engineering research. To make explicit and tackle these problems, we actively write project proposals to support the continuation and consolidation of our research activities. Please contact us if you wish to work with us together and provide the synergy.
