Software Development Laboratory (SwDev)
The research unit broadly covers topics related to software development. In particular, we are interested in
- Cloud service architectures and business models
- Game development and gamification
- Software business, special focus on start-ups
- Software development methodologies and processes
- Software ecosystems
- Software metrics and testing
- Software security
- Software techniques, especially related to parallelism
- Software technology-enabled services and managing technology-service convergences

OS Diversification
Our goal was to provide protection to applications and software systems in a new way: we diversified the implementations of all software layers and their interfaces on the binary level. The project was eventually only one year project (2014), funded by MATINE.
REPLICA
REPLICA is a 3-year (2011-2013) project funded by VTT. VTT collaborates with University of Linköping, Sweden, and University of Turku, Finland. The removing performance and programmability limitations of chip multiprocessor architecture (REPLICA) project aims at developing a CESM architecture and methodology that would enable radically easier programming and higher performance based on synchronous shared memory model of computation.
