The Software Architecture Research Group is a collaborative research team in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Southern California. The group is headed by Dr. Nenad Medvidović, a Professor in the CS Department at USC, a faculty member of the USC Center for Systems and Software Engineering (CSSE), and a faculty associate of the Institute for Software Research (ISR) at the University of California, Irvine. The group focuses on cutting edge research in architectural modeling and analysis, component-based development, architecture-based development for distributed, heterogeneous, and resource constrained devices, architecture-based self-adaptation, and event-based middleware technologies.
