Sevilla. Durante las dos jornadas de duración del evento, los asistentes han podido conocer de primera mano las investigaciones realizadas en el seno del laboratorio así como establecer nuevas alianzas y colaboraciones con empresas del entorno. Concretamente, los asistentes han podido aprender de como el laboratorio ha implantado tecnologías sobre líneas de producto software en contextos tan diversos como la generación de contenido multimedia, la visualización de datos o la ejecución masiva de pruebas. Asimismo, han podido comprobar como el analisis de metricas sobre el código generado puede ofrecerles ventajas competitivas en la adaptación del software a sus necesidades. En la feria, destacaron las demostraciones prácticas donde se exhibieron prototipos avanzados y aplicaciones innovadoras desarrolladas por el equipo del laboratorio. Estas presentaciones, que abarcaron desde soluciones de inteligencia artificial hasta…

ETSII 2023 was the first edition of an event held by ETSII Seville in which students from different university degrees shared their works and investigations in order to promote collaboration between them. Diverso Lab members Antonio Germán Márquez, David Romero and José Manuel Sánchez took part in the event presenting their works and sharing them. Their respective presentations were titled "Vulnerability impact analysis in software project dependencies based on SMT approach", "Transformo: a tool for data transformation using SPL techniques" and "Performance Benchmarking of Open Source Software Projects Using a Collaborative Tool". The presenters successfully exposed their investigations in a summarized and concise way. The first edition of the event was well received by the attendees and it is expected to be held again in the future, promoting further collaborations.

David Benavides, professor at the University of Seville, will give a keynote at the International Software Product Line Engineering (SPLC) conference in Tokyo in the last week of August. Full professor David Benavides David Benavides is the coordinator of the Diverso Lab within the Data-centric Computing Research Hub group and a professor in the Department of Computer Languages and Systems at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Informática. The professor and the group have received several international awards in this area, which will be considered for this invitation. In 2017 he received the "most influential paper award" in software product lines; in 2018, he was elected chairman of the SPLC standing committee, a position he held until 2022. In 2020 he received the most influential paper award in configurability. In…

Engineering (JIPII 2023) organized by the Higher School of Engineering (ETS) of University of Cádiz.  After the acceptance of an article related to Process Engineering and E-Collaboration, we present the communication within the framework of the industrial doctorate on Smart Governance that we are addressing with the Provincial Information Society (INPRO).  We thank the Organizing Committee for the good reception, the exchange of knowledge and experiences, and the good times shared with the participants.  We hope to continue in this good harmony with the ETS of University of Cádiz and that the experience is repeated.

La solicitud de la red TASOVA PLUS ha sido aceptada provisionalmente con el objetivo de mejorar la colaboración y aumentar la visibilidad de las investigaciones en el campo de la arquitectura de software y la variabilidad a nivel nacional e internacional. Con la inclusión de tres nuevos nodos de investigación, la red pasa a estar conformada por 13 universidades y fortalecerá las sinergias entre los diferentes grupos de investigación y universidades colaboradoras. Actualmente esta red la forman 13 nodos y será coordinada por el DiversoLab como representante de la Universidad de Sevilla. Concretamente, los nodos participantes son la Universidad De Malaga, Universidad Del Pais Vasco, Universidad Nacional De Educacion A Distancia, Universidade Da Coruña, Universidad Politecnica De Madrid, Universidad De Cadiz, Universidad De Castilla-la Mancha, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Universitat…

Recently, some members of the Diverso Lab attended the highly esteemed AAAI'23 conference in Washington DC, which focuses on artificial intelligence. Their visit served two purposes. Firstly, they presented their contribution, "FASTDIAGP: An Algorithm for Parallelized Direct Diagnosis," which resulted from a collaboration with TU Graz and former PhD students from Chile. Secondly, they aimed to gain knowledge and comprehension of the current state of the art in artificial intelligence, particularly in the areas of LLM (Large Language Models) and constraint problem solving. The conference was divided into three main blocks. The first block was the workshops program, which comprised a series of talks and workshops focused on specific techniques in AI. One workshop attended was on program synthesis, which featured various talks on how to automatically synthesize programs, mainly…

natural language processing field connecting the advances with software engineering topics.   The talk addressed the role of scaling a deep learning model to achieve unprecedented results across the whole set of natural language processing evaluations. This exposition of the scaling principles began with the critical property of model parallelism and the attention mechanism, first introduced in 2017 by the famous article "Attention is all you need." Then Antonio exposed the scaling laws, which dictate the role of the model number of parameters, training data, amount of tokens, and compute time are the fundamental building blocks for optimal training. The talk showed the most influential model in the code generation scenario by the hand of DeepMind's Alpha Code. Antonio's latest research addresses mono and cross-lingual code using transformer-based language models.…
