Research
We predominantly perform software engineering research and secondarily information systems research.
Our research is team-based. The main projects are:
- JValue. Making open data easy, safe, and reliable to use.
- MECOIS (Inner Source). Quantifying the corporation.
- QDAcity. Making qualitative data analysis easy for everyone.
- SCA Tool. Making open source safe, easy, and fun to use.
