We design, build, and reason about software systems that perform, adapt, and last.
SWEN brings together 36 researchers across model-driven engineering, software architecture, performance, and quality. We publish at top venues, coordinate national projects, ship open-source software, and train the next generation of software engineers in L'Aquila.
