Welcome to the home of the Distribution and Concurrency (DisCo) Research Group! We are part of the Software Languages Lab (SOFT) at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB). We specialize in programming languages and tools for concurrent and distributed systems, with a focus on:
- Debugging tools for concurrent systems.
- Programming abstractions for replicated data types.
- Secure programming technologies.
We invite you to explore our research further, and if you are interested in our work or would like more information, please feel free to contact us.
