The R@ISE project serves as a catalyst for the development of a strong Low Code / No Code (LCNC) research and adoption capability for Ireland. Supported by eminent scholars, international domain experts and corporate and public sector partners, this multi-dimensional and visionary project will lead research and dissemination programmes in both core (Low Code / No Code development platforms) and applied Software Engineering (Digital Thread).
The project was launched on April 4th in the University of Limerick.

“The new low-code/no-code (LC/NC) model-driven approach – as proposed by R@ISE – is an alternative to conventional software development where developers as well as non-developers are equipped with the tools to design, develop, verify and deploy applications quickly and with none to minimum coding requirements.”

Bernhard Steffen is a German computer scientist and professor at the TU Dortmund University, Germany. His research focuses on various facets of formal methods ranging from programme analysis and verification, over low code development environments, to test-based modeling, and machine learning.[1]1] Central developments concern the shift of active automata learning to towards a practical means for model-based testing that does not require any a priori models, and the concept of Language-Driven Engineering where combinations of domain-specific languages guarantee properties by design. Recently, he started to apply formal methods for explaining machine learning.
