Research groups: Software Analysis and Transformation

Research

Jurgen Vinju is adjunct group leader of SEN1 (Software Analysis and Transformation). His PhD thesis from 2005 was titled "Analysis and Transformation of Source Code by Parsing and Rewriting". The group studies software systems: their design, their construction and their inevitable evolution. We focus on complexity of understanding as the primary quality attribute of software systems. Software complexity is an important subject, which is not only due to the ubiquity of software systems and failing ICT projects in society: there is a general lack of deep understanding of what causes software systems to be complex and how complex systems can be made simpler. We study software analysis, software transformation and software generation techniques to try and improve this situation.
