Why SWAT?
SWAT is an industrial oriented research lab which is actively investigating approaches and developing techniques to support the development, the maintenance and the deployment of AI intensive and cloud based software systems.
Our Projects.
Researchers at SWAT apply analytics techniques to empower development teams with insightful and actionable information about their activities. They also build tools to assess and improve the quality of sofware systems. The focus of their research is AI intensive and cloud based software systems. Early models and tools proposed by SWAT members are already being used in the industry.
