We do research on the development of new tools, languages, and methods for software development with the goal of assisting software developers in their work. We often collaborate with industry and society, for inspiration and to get closer to real-world usage and needs. We also have cooperation with companies on compiler related projects, e.g., Modelon, Axis, and ABB Malmö.

• Programming Languages & Analysis including implementation of domain-specific languages, extension of our Java compiler with new constructs or analyses, program analysis (static or dynamic), Web IDEs for languages and other language tooling. Many of these projects make use of our metacompilation system JastAdd, developed at LTH.
