<h2>About NaoMod</h2> <hr/>
<p>
  NaoMod, the Nantes Software Modeling Group (formerly known
  as AtlanMod),
  is a <a href="https://www.ls2n.fr/equipe/naomod/?lang=en">LS2N</a> research team (with members from <a href="https://www.imt-atlantique.fr/fr/l-ecole/departements-d-enseignement-recherche/dapi/recherche">IMT Atlantique</a> and <a href="https://www.univ-nantes.fr/">Nantes Université</a>) resulting from a long-time
  research expertise on MDE (Model-Driven Engineering) in the
  area of Nantes-France since 1990 (e.g., leading to the creation of the MODELS
  and ICMT conference series).
</p>

<p>
  We have been working intensively on improving and promoting the base
  techniques, best practices and actual usages of MDE by paying equally
  attention to both the academic & industrial problems, and notably
  investigating on the benefits that can be brought by a rigorous use of
  models in a software engineering context.
</p>

<p>
  From this research effort, an open source model-based toolbox is being
  developed and proposed (notably via the worldwide Eclipse Community)
  to software engineers & architects with the objective of improving
  their productivity as well as increasing the quality of the
  applications they design and build.
