SWEN research group

The Software Engineering (SE) Research Group at the University of L’Aquila focuses on a wide array of software engineering challenges, ranging from performance and synthesis to architecture and automation. Coordinated by Prof. Alfonso Pierantonio, this group consists of a dynamic team of full professors, associate professors, assistant professors, postdocs, and PhD students, all contributing to cutting-edge research in collaboration with both academic and industrial partners worldwide. Key areas of research within the group include: Software Performance Engineering: Led by Prof. Vittorio Cortellessa, the SPENCER Lab specializes in the performance and reliability of software systems, utilizing search-based and automated techniques. Software Synthesis and Architecture: The SoSy Group, led by Prof. Marco Autili and Prof. Massimo Tivoli, conducts research on automated software synthesis, software architectures, and adaptive systems. Software Quality and Resilience: FrAmeLab, coordinated by Prof. Henry Muccini, explores the intersection of software architecture with quality assurance, resilience, and green software engineering. Our faculty includes: Full Professors: Vittorio Cortellessa, Davide Di Ruscio, Henry Muccini, Alfonso Pierantonio, and Massimo Tivoli. Associate Professors: Marco Autili and Antinisca Di Marco. Assistant Professors: Juri Di Rocco, Daniele Di Pompeo, Phuong Nguyen, Luca Traini, and Michele Tucci. The group is further supported by postdoctoral researchers and a vibrant PhD community who contribute to diverse national and international research projects like SoBigData.it, RECHARGE, and PNRR initiatives. With a strong commitment to innovation and collaboration, the Software Engineering group plays an active role in the global research community, pushing the boundaries of what modern software systems can achieve.
