From 16 to 18 June 2026, members of DiversoLab attended the Jornadas de la Sociedad de Ingeniería de Software y Tecnologías de Desarrollo de Software, held in Alicante and organised by the University of Alicante. The event brought together researchers and professionals working on software engineering, databases, service engineering, programming languages and related areas.
For DiversoLab, participating in SISTEDES is especially relevant because the conference provides a unique opportunity to learn about the state of the art in the community, exchange ideas with other research groups and identify new scientific challenges in software engineering. SISTEDES 2026 included the XXX Jornadas de Ingeniería del Software y Bases de Datos, the XXI Jornadas de Ciencia e Ingeniería de Servicios and the XXV Jornadas de Programación y Lenguajes.
A meeting point for research, collaboration and new ideas
The conference allowed our team to engage with ongoing work in areas closely connected to DiversoLab’s research lines, including software variability, software product lines, model-based engineering, artificial intelligence and the development of tools for complex configurable systems.
Representing DiversoLab were Miguel Ángel Olivero, José A. Galindo, David Benavides, José Manuel Sánchez Ruiz and Francisco Sebastián Benítez. All of them are members of the DiversoLab research group at the University of Seville.
Bringing DiversoLab’s perspective to SISTEDES
Beyond attending the scientific sessions, SISTEDES 2026 was also an opportunity to share DiversoLab’s current work and connect it with the wider challenges discussed by the Spanish software engineering community. These exchanges are essential for aligning research with real-world needs, strengthening collaborations and identifying future directions for applied software engineering.
From DiversoLab, we are pleased to have taken part in SISTEDES 2026 and to continue contributing to a community that plays a central role in advancing software engineering research in Spain and beyond.
