In addition, the research activities include several long-term open-source system development efforts, such as the OpenModelica framework for object-oriented equation-based modeling and simulation of cyberphysical systems, and the SkePU high-level programming framework for heterogeneous parallel systems.
Nine full professors, eight associate/assistant professors and several postdocs are involved in the research together with about 25 graduate students.

The SaS Seminars is a permanent series of open seminars with topics related to research at the division.
Research is conducted in the following laboratories
Embedded Systems (ESLAB)
Codesign and design for testability of embedded/cyberphysical hardware/software systems and formal methods for embedded systems.
Programming Environments (PELAB)
Software engineering tools and architectures, large-scale software engineering, model-based software engineering, programming languages and systems, including compilers, debuggers, testing tools, and programming tools for parallel, distributed and real-time systems.
Knowledge-Driven Data Management Laboratory (KDMLAB)
Research includes knowledge-driven data management and analysis, ontologies, and sports analytics. The unit also teaches all database courses at the department.
Education
The division accounts for a significant share of the department's comprehensive undergraduate and master-level education activities, operating about 70 undergraduate/master-level courses per year as well as providing final-thesis supervision.Doctoral studies are offered in the field of Computer Science.
