Software and Sustainability

The S2 group research focus is on architecture design, modelling and evaluation of software-intensive systems.

These typically involve multiple technologies, operate in multi-organisational environments and influence businesses, social behaviour and society at large. Major research areas are service orientation, cloud-based software, and software engineering for energy efficiency and sustainability. Our philosophy is that research should be industrial-relevant and serve the final purpose of being applied in practice.

Please visit our website at Software and Sustainability.

Head: Prof. Dr. Patricia Lago, Dr. Ivano Malavolta

    Research cocktails are cross-disciplinary activities designed to establish and strengthen connections between researchers within the Computer Science department and beyond. Several years ago, the department conceived the research cocktails. We are now bringing them back to life under the umbrella of VU’s Digital Sustainability Center (DiSC), coordinated by Justus Bogner and Filip Ilievski.

    The agenda for this first post-Covid research cocktail is as follows:
