Two weeks ago, our fellow colleague and Ph.D. student David Romero went on a short trip to A Coruña, Galicia. There, he was welcomed by University of A Coruña LBD (Laboratorio de Bases de Datos). During his stay, he had the opportunity to discuss the latest advances in high-variability systems with other researchers. David is now back with us at Seville for a short time, as he will soon embark on another trip, this time to Glasgow, Scotland, where he will spend a trimester progressing with his research work. From DiversoLab, we want to wish David the best during his next adventure. We are sure the experience will be rewarding!

The project has been in development for more than 6 years in collaboration with different German and Austrian universities. University of Seville professor and Diverso Lab coordinator David Benavides has led a consortium that has been working since 2018 and has had meetings in France, Switzerland, Germany, Canada, Luxembourg or Austria, in the context of MODEVAR, to develop a common variability language. The language has been named UVL: Universal Variability Language and promises to be a milestone in the development of software product lines. UVL allows modeling variability in software systems, but its applications are beyond software. UVL assists in the production of highly configurable systems such as Android, Chrome or artificial intelligence systems. These models are used both academically and industrially for the study and production of highly configurable…

On Tuesday 4th of March at 9:30AM, our team will hold a seminary titled "¿Cómo funcionan los LLMs? Una explicación simple y accesible", which will take place in classroom A2.11 at ETSII. The seminar wil be presented by our colleague Professor Jesús Moreno, and it will feature a simple and comprensible explanation on how large language models (LLMs) work, addressing key concepts with the help of practical examples to understand how these models are built and how they are used in current technological applications. The event is aimed at students, researchers and professionals who are interested in understanding the way AI assistants like ChatGPT, DeepSeek or Claude work. High-level concepts such as transformer architecture, self-supervised learning and reinforcement learning will be touched upon during the seminar, without getting into technicalities…

This week, the 19th International Working Conference on Variability Modelling of Software-Intensive Systems (VaMoS25) has taken place in Rennes, France, and one of our members had the opportunity to attend the conference and present a new paper. The paper, titled UVL web-based editing and analysis with flamapy.ide is authored by Francisco Sebastian Benitez, José A. Galindo, David Romero Organvídez and David Benavides, and presents flamapy.ide, a new web tool based on the flamapy ecosystem that allows users to create, modify, visualize and analyze feature models defined in UVL (Universal Variability Language). One of the key-defining features of flamapy.ide lies in its ability to perform feature model analysis operation directly on the user's browser, without the need for a backend server. Dr José A. Galindo participated in the conference and gave…

On Tuesday 11th of February, our team will hold a seminary titled "Desarrollo web con Webpack y otras herramientas en un framework SPL", which will take place in classroom A2.11 at ETSII. The seminary will be presented by our colleague David Romero, and it will consist of a practical analysis of the integration of Webpack among other key tools related to Web Development within the context of Software Product Lines (SPL). It will use UVLHub, a repository for feature models defined in UVL as a case study. The event is aimed at students, researchers and software developers interested in modular architectures, workflow optimization with Webpack and best practices in SPL environments. Throughout the session, aspects such as advanced Webpack configuration, the use of complementary tools, and maintenance strategies in a…

Today our group has had the opportunity to visit the Aula del Futuro, located in the Centro del Profesorado in Seville, and experience its innovations in education through an interactive process led by Mariano Real. Aula del Futuro is a project coordinated by the Instituto Nacional de Tecnologías Educativas y de Formación del Profesorado (INTEF) in collaboration with Spanish autonomous communities. Its aim is to present a more flexible learning space, in combination with technologies such as robotics, coding on Scratch or 3D-printing to improve teaching and learning processes through active methodologies. In this way, it presents a reconfigurable classroom space divided into six areas: Investiga (Research), Explora (Explore), Interactúa (Interact), Desarrolla (Develop), Crea (Create) and Presenta (Present). These spaces promote and stimulate the teaching and learning processes, making the…
