Abstract
ASTEC (Advanced Software TEChnology) is a competence center for industrially relevant research on software technology, centered in Uppsala, Stockholm, and Vasteras. It is organized as a consortium between a group of Swedish companies and academic institutions, supported and partially funded by VINNOVA, the Swedish Agency for Innovation Systems. In this introduction, we outline the main ideas behind the creation of ASTEC, its activities, and some of the experiences that we have gained from running the center. This issue also contains a set of companion articles, which describe some of the main projects and results obtained in the context of ASTEC.
