The Team

Our Research LinesSoftware modeling• How to store and transform large models• How to build (meta)models collaboratively

Formal Methods• How to check the quality of a model (beyond toy examples)• How to write better tests (from your models)

Software Analysis• What we learn by looking / mining past projects• How I attract (and manage) more contributors
