Our laboratory works on assuring and testing programs that are highly-configurable, self-adaptive and self-healing. Configurability (or variability) describes how a program can be customized and instantiated as a family of programs. Modeling the variability of a program allows us to reason about the space of possible program instances, and to sample and reuse results. To sample and explore large configuration spaces we use many bio-inspired algorithms. We also are working to infer and predict behavior of biological organisms which we view as programs. Together we call these both classes of programs, organic.
