The MUSCAT Thematic Focus Group is part of the SPARKS team of the I3S laboratory (CNRS / Université Côte d'Azur).
MUSCAT stands for eMpowering hUmans in maStering production of large sCale sysTems (yes, this is quite far, but you know, we've got a catchy name...). We study problems in software engineering in which we aim at helping human stakeholders (software architect, developer, product owner, final user) to understand and make decisions on practices, processes, and code. The application domains we target are quite broad, with machine learning related software (e.g. ML workflows), cyber-physical systems, or human-machine interfaces. We are especially intersted in very large variability-rich systems and emergent systems.

Research Topics
Mastering ML practices
With the continuous development of large scale software systems, different forms of requirements must be related, in a consistent way, to other activities and artifacts of the development and operational life cycle (dev+ops).
Large Scale Variability
Software variability studies the variation points and commonality that exists within a family of software products. We study large scale management of variability-aware software.
Distributed Interfaces
We study the application of territoriality in contexts such as multi-display gaming in which personal information must be correctly managed.
