At HASLab, we anchor our research on a rigorous approach to three areas of Computer Science: Software Engineering, Distributed Systems, and Cryptography and Information Security.
Our contributions to these areas range from fundamental research on formal methods and algorithms, to applied research on the development of tools and middleware that address real-world demands stemming from long-term collaborations with industry.
The applications STAYAWAY COVID and Psicovida, both developed by INESC TEC researchers, received an honourable mention in the category "Application of the year", of the “Os Melhores do Portugal Tecnológico” awards, granted by Exame Informática magazine.
