Super Power “It is amazing. I think it is the closest thing we have to super power!” Drew Houston, creator of Dropbox, on programming

Quality Software 4

Deep Scientific Questions ! How can we control the complexity of software? How can we ensure correctness? x : [0..9] y : [0..9] x : [0..9] y : [0..9] z : [0..9] 10 possible failures 100 possible failures 1000 possible failures

Software Science Research Develop theory, languages and tools that simplify the construction of reliable software systems. Central to research carried out in Nijmegen are models and modeling. We explore the systematic use of models as the primary artifacts throughout the engineering lifecycle of computer-based systems.
