which is an ambitious initiative launched in 2015 by INRIA (Paris), in agreement with UNESCO, and assembling a group of prestigious supporters and committed sponsors including, among the others, Microsoft, Intel, Google, VMWare, GitHub, Societe Generale, the
Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. Its main objective is to collect, preserve, and share software in source code form. At the time of writing, SWH is the largest archive of source code in the world with more than 17 billion source files, coming from more than 250
million projects. This project is also part of our effort in the ICSC (Centro Nazionale di Ricerca in High-Performance Computing, Big Data and Quantum Computing) funded by PNRR. The postdoc, involved in the project, will thus have the opportunity to collaborate
with an international environment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
