Happy Holidays from Diverso Lab!

misc
Now that the current year is close to an end, it is time to reflect on some of the most memorable accomplishments from our team from the past months. 2024 has been a magnificent year for Diverso Lab. One highlight was the publication of our paper, "Variability Management and Software Product Line Knowledge in Software Companies" in the Journal of Systems and Software. Led by David Benavides Cuevas and Antonio Manuel Gutiérrez Fernández, the study surveyed over 100 companies, uncovering a significant demand for better variability management. Another key milestone has been our ongoing involvement in AquaIA, an innovative deficit irrigation programming system for organic crops, developed in collaboration with FIWOO, FERAGUA, Bioalverde, and Universidad de Loyola, under the coordination of Universidad de Sevilla. Diverso Lab, alongside US’s agronomic group,…

Possible synergies between Diverso Lab and LISIA Laboratory

Uncategorized
On December 17th our team had the pleasure attend a seminary presented by our colleague Jorge García Gutiérrez and Soumeya Zerabi from LISIA Laboratory (Laboratoire Informatique en Science de Données et Intelligence Artificielle). The aim of the seminary was to introduce our team to the work and research carried out at LISIA Laboratory from Abdelhamid MEHRI - Constantine 2 University. For this purpose, Soumeya Zerabi gave a presentation on their historical background, members and current research projects. On behalf of our Team, Jorge García also gave a presentation on the history, work and main lines of research of Diverso Lab. Thanks to this seminary, both teams got to learn about each other, opening doors to possible collaboration on future projects. More information about LISIA Laboratory can be found here.

Programamos has been selected for Google.org’s AI Opportunity Fund: Europe

Uncategorized
Our colleague and professor Jesús Moreno takes part in a project that will provide Artificial Intelligence training to many workers who come from a migrant background in order to help them transition into new labor sectors. The non-profit organization Programamos has been selected by the Center For Public Impact for receiving funding from Google.org’s AI Opportunity Fund: Europe, as well as specific training to provide workers from vulnerable groups with AI knowledge and tools to boost their career development. The project will help about a hundred people who belong to racial and migrant minorities in Seville, with a special focus on those who work in agricultural, tourism and hospitality sectors. Programamos will also count with the help of other local organizations, such as Sevilla Negra , to improve job opportunities…

State of art in computational pathology

Uncategorized
On Tuesday, November 12th, Professor Jorge García Gutiérrez gave a presentation on the state of the art in computational pathology, focusing on the open challenges within his project "Optimized Knowledge-Federated Assembly of Autocoded Nodes" (ENFOCA) in Digital Pathology. ENFOCA seeks to advance digital pathology through the integration of optimized and federated knowledge networks. The project aims to enhance pathologists' work by leveraging artificial intelligence to support and optimize their analyses. Computational pathology holds great potential for improving pathologists' performance by increasing accuracy, efficiency, and diagnostic consistency. Additionally, the presentation included an overview of previous work in fields such as environmental remote sensing, autonomous vehicle technology, and renewable energy production forecasting.

New professor internship

Uncategorized
Our dear colleague and master thesis student José Manuel Sánchez Ruiz has become a part of the faculty at the University of Seville, as an intern professor. He is currently teaching EDA (Structuring of data and algorithms) and FP (Fundamentals of programming), two of the most important subjects imparted by the LSI (Languages and Information Systems department), and also two of the most challenging learning curves for many students.We all know his talent, humour, youth and golden heart will help soften this curve up. Congratulations on your new position, José Manuel!

New book release about Feature Models!

Doctors, Product lines, Projects
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 it gets even better than that: it's open access, what basically means it's free! Feature Models: AI-Driven Design, Analysis and Applications will surely clarify all concerns about variability systems and its modeling and restriction creation using Artificial Intelligence, as well as provide a basic introduction to analysis and notation. Congratulations Dr. Benavides for your new book and position!

New Seminar on SPL and Machine Learning!

Events, Product lines
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 expert lab on Rennes University, DiverSE. Among their most valuable contributions, is extensive research on feature model (main tool for creating a domain or scope for a variability system) automation and constraints creation for them. The event was introduced by Valére, an international student that we had the pleasure to collaborate with on his stay on Seville (Picture 1), and followed by Professor Paul Temple (Picture 2). We will surely be featuring more high quality…
