On 14 July 2026, David Romero Organvídez successfully defended his doctoral thesis at the University of Seville, earning his PhD with International Doctorate Mention with the maximum grade. The thesis, titled “UVLHub: An Open Science Ecosystem for the Universal Variability Language”, was supervised by Dr. David Benavides and Dr. José A. Galindo, both members of
From Data to Irrigation: SensOlive’s Tools for Optimizing Deficit Irrigation
The foundation of irrigation scheduling in SensOlive (PLSQ_00162). Project funded by the Junta de Andalucía. What we measure and how: the tools and indicators we use for our objectives In our first installment, we took you on a visit to La Hampa. Today we get a little closer to show you the tools we work
Deep Learning Methods for EEG-Based Speech Classification and Decoding: A PRISMA Review
We are pleased to share that Asma Sbaih, together with Jorge García-Gutiérrez, Megha Bhushan and David Benavides, has published a new article entitled “Deep Learning Methods for EEG-Based Speech Classification and Decoding: A PRISMA Review”, now available in open access in Computer Speech & Language (Elsevier). The article presents a systematic review, conducted following the
José Manuel Sánchez Presents SensOlive at SISTEDES 2026

DIVERSO LAB’s Latest Advances in AI, Software Product Lines, and Smart Agriculture
Following the recent participation of our researchers Francisco José Domínguez-Mayo and Francisco Sesbastián Benítez at the FOSD (Feature-Oriented Software Development) Meeting—a prominent international gathering dedicated to advancing research in software variability and software product lines, see more here —we held an internal seminar at our facilities. Upon their return, Francisco J. and Francisco S. shared
Software Variability as a new Computational Thinking dimension
A new Open Educational Resource (OER) has been released to help bring software variability — an emerging and research-supported dimension of computational thinking — into the classroom. The resource encourages students to move beyond creating isolated programs and instead learn how to reason about families of related solutions through configurable systems. Designed mainly for teachers
New book release about Feature Models!
We’ve been given a pair of good news this last week regarding our lab cofounder Dr. David Benavides, who has been elected as Coordinador del programa de doctorado de ingeniería informática de la Universidad de Sevilla (Computer Engineering PhD Degree Coordinator), as well as given the greenlight from Springer for his first book publishing. And
New Seminar on SPL and Machine Learning!
We recently had the honour of hosting a seminar by Rennes University Professor Paul Temple, on the integration of Machine Learning and SPL (Software Product Lines) where he talked about previous and future investigation, as well as sharing the results of his most recent research on the topic. We were introduced to the Variability Systems
