Invitation

We cordially invited you to attend the "CWI Lectures on Understanding Software" to be held on June 14th 2012 at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica in Amsterdam.

The program featured internationally renowned speakers, that represent different visions on understanding software. Understanding how to build better software is as important as understanding how existing software can be maintained and improved. The lectures are accessible for software engineering practitioners, software engineering students, business practitioners and academic researchers alike.

The lectures were organized by the SWAT group (Software Analysis and Transformation) in honor of Paul Klint having been awarded a CWI  research fellowship, as well as his 40th anniversary at CWI.
