Software and Systems

Software and Systems (SAS)

The division for Software and Systems (SaS) conducts with research and education in the following areas: Software Engineering, Programming Environments, Systems Software, Embedded SW/HW Systems, Computer Systems Engineering, Real-Time Systems and Theoretical Computer Science.

In total, the research and teaching staff of SaS consists of 9 professors, about 20 associate/assistant professors, teachers and postdocs, 25 graduate students and 12 teaching assistants.

The research activities take place in 4 laboratories:

Embedded Systems (ESLAB)
Codesign and design for testability of embedded HW/SW systems and formal methods for embedded systems
http://www.ida.liu.se/labs/eslab

Programming Environments (PELAB)
Software engineering tools and architectures, programming languages and systems, including compilers, debuggers, testing tools, and programming tools for parallel, distributed and real-time systems.

Real Time Systems (RTSLAB)
Dependability and resource management in distributed systems
http://www.ida.liu.se/labs/rtslab

Theoretical Computer Science (TCSLAB)
Formal methods, logic and constraint programming, constraint satisfaction problems, analysis of algorithms and computational complexity
http://www.ida.liu.se/labs/tcslab

The research covers both basic research and projects in cooperation with industry. Projects are or have been conducted in cooperation with ABB Robotics, ABB Industrial Systems, Ericsson Softlab AB, Ericsson Radio Systems, Ericsson Telecom, SKF, Saab, Saab Dynamics, Saab Combitech and several other companies.

The teachers group for education in programming and program development (UPP) is responsible for most of the basic courses in programming, data structures and algorithms, and also some advanced courses within different areas.

  • Basic Programming Courses
  • Operating Systems
  • Programming Theory
  • Software Engineering
  • Systems Engineering
  • Algorithms and Complexity Theory
  • Parallel Computing
  • Compilers
  • Embedded and Real-Time Systems
  • Computer and System Modeling and Simulation
  • Distributed Systems
  • Computer Networks
  • Computer Architecture


The undergraduate and master-level courses of the division are managed by the division's studierektor.


The graduate education of the SaS division is organized in the following subjects:

  • Computer Science
  • Computer Systems

The SaS Seminars is a permanent series of open seminars with topics related to SaS research.
