What we do in SUPERSEDE?

● In SUPERSEDE, UPC

○ Leads WP2 on methods and tools for feedback and monitoring data analysis

○ Leads WP4 on methods and tools for enacting decisions of software evolution, software adaptation and feedback and monitoring systems reconfiguration

○ Participate with substantial contribution to WP1 on methods and tools for monitoring data and WP3 on methods and tools for taking adaptation and reconfiguration decisions

○ Acts as scientific coordination
