Our research group visits Interim Professor Dr. Dominik Helm at University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE). He was so kind to host the OPAL Research Spring Meeting this year.
In a regular interval we meet with researcher from the Software Technology Group] at Technische Universität Darmstadt and other researchers contributing and/or using the OPAL framework. We have an in-person meeting roughly every six months to catch up with everybody.
OPAL is a highly-configurable static program analysis framework for JVM languages. It supports Java 21 Bytecode and is written entirely in Scala. Client analyses can thus be also written in any JVM-compatible language.
We had two exciting days in Essen discussing our current and future research ideas as well as ongoing work to improve the OPAL framework. This year Michael Eichberg joined us as well. Also, Michael Schlichtig and Markus Schmidt from Heinz-Nixdorf-Insitute / Paderborn University gave a remote talk on upcoming OPAL integration into Boomerang.
