The Laboratory of Novel Software Technology at Nanjing University was established in 1978, based upon years of researches conducted by the Department of Computer Science and Technology and the Institute of Computer Software of Nanjing University. In 1990, it was officially recognized as one of the State Key Laboratories, and was opened to researchers from all over the world since then.
Other than basic scientific problems in the field, the laboratory focuses on the research and application of novel software technology, which can be divided into three levels: the exploration of new software methods and technologies, the research and development of software technologies and the application of new technologies and software product development. Among the main research directions are: new-style programming and methodology, distributed computing and parallel processing, software quality assurance and automation, operating system and information security, supporting technology of intelligent software and multimedia software. Recent works include the subjective and dependable framework of software methodology, supporting technology of machine learning and intelligent software, supporting technology of pervasive computing and application, human-oriented processing technology and the application of multimedia information. It aims to develop a series of supporting system for Internet-oriented applications, by means of software methodology and machine learning.
The Laboratory has been supported by funding of more than four hundred projects, and has won more than sixty prizes at national or ministerial level with a number of papers of high quality published, which have been cited and commented by peer researchers from all over the world. The laboratory has made effort to broaden positively the application of scientific achievements, and has been granted a number of patents and software copyrights. The Lab has been playing a role in the development of the economy and society of the country.
