Welcome to the Automated Software Design Research Group!

The future of software development is automating rote tasks. We are creating new ways in which software can be automatically developed, productivity increased, and quality improved. Our work covers both the theory and practical issues of:

Software Product Lines		Model Driven Engineering
Program Generation/Synthesis		Refactorings
Domain-Specific Languages		Metaprogramming
