Research on software development
The Industrial Excellence Center EASE (Embedded Applications Software Engineering) at The Faculty of Engineering at Lund University (LTH) and Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH) carries out research aimed at satisfying the long-term needs of the industry.
The research focuses on technologies and methods required to develop future products and services in so-called embedded systems, e.g. mobile phones. The center aims at being world-leader within its field of research.
Particular focus on:
1. Multi-purpose architecture
to find a logical architecture of flexible and networked embedded systems.
2. Dynamic resource utilization
to find principles and mechanisms for dynamic utilization across the system architecture.
3. Trade-offs between actors
to find instruments to balance trade-offs between operators, suppliers, requirements and resources.
4. Homogenous user experience
to give a homogenous user experience in an open and flexible environment.
5. Distributed development
to improve the distribution of development of products and services across projects, sites and companies.
6. Information management
to find new approaches for management of information, versions and variants.
7. Industry-academia research model
to develop industry-academia research models for mutual benefit for involved parties.
The research is carried out in close cooperation with the industry and by researchers who also are active lecturers, making research findings directly part of the course contents.
Industrial partners are: Sony Ericsson, Ericsson, ST-Ericsson, ABB, Axis and Softhouse Consulting.
