Software Engineering
Software engineering research focuses on formal foundations and automated techniques and tools for all aspects of software engineering: requirements engineering, software development, software analysis, software verification, software reliability and software performance engineering.
Some particular topics and areas of concern include software architectures, self-managed adaptive software systems, concurrency, logic-based symbolic learning, probabilistic analysis and pervasive computing.
