NESSI has provided the EC with recommendations towards the ICT Work Programme 2018 – 2020, focussing on the key role that generic software engineering principles, techniques and tools will play. It argues for key software engineering challenges to be addressed by research and innovation actions towards realizing a Software Continuum. To avoid replicating investments and research effort, NESSI advocates setting up centralized activities on generic software engineering principles, techniques and tools, which may feed complementary more domain specific activities.
The NESSI recommendations are available at NESSI > Publications > Position Papers.
