VISDOM - Visual diagnosis for DevOps software development

The VISDOM project will develop new types of visualization that utilize and merge data from several data sources in modern DevOps development. The aim is to provide simple “health check” visualizations about the state of the development process, software and use.

Sustainable Cloud

This project aims to develop a sustainability-aware architecting framework specifically for cloud-based software services which incorporates all dimensions of system sustainability. The framework is structured around the use of sustainability indicators, one per dimension, as the means of abstracting away from dimension-specific concerns.

Detecting Similarities between Software Systems Based on NLP Techniques

This project aims to form clusters of similarly scoped software systems, based on an NLP-informed taxonomy. This is similar to a biological classification, where different species (i.e., software systems) might share very few similarities, but they might belong to the same family (i.e., application domain)
