Hej,
Mycket välkomna till fredagens forskningsseminarium där jag har glädjen att presentera en gäst från IT-universitetet i Köpenhamn – Dr. M. Ali Babar. Han kommer att presentera forskning kring “Human-centric Software Engineering” samt olika empiriska tillvägagångssätt för att studera detta område (se abstrakt nedan).
Mycket välkomna! Vi träffas i Aktersalongen klockan 13.15 – 15.00.
The seminar will be in English.
Abstract:
One of our main research goals is to empirically understand and support the ways in which software engineers work with technologies and interact with each otters when developing software. To this end, we have conducted several dozens of empirical studies in industrial and academic environments. The evidence and lessons from these studies have enabled us to assess current research, identify the promising areas of research, improve our teaching, and forge fruitful ties with industrial partners. In this talk, I will share our experiences of applying different empirical approaches to guide the human-centric software engineering research in the area of global software engineering. This talk will draw examples from our research in the areas of structures (i.e., work, social, and communication) of an Extended Team Model (ETM) in global software engineering team, coordination mechanisms, and activity based computing.
Dr. M. Ali Babar is a Reader in Software Engineering at Lancaster University UK and an Associate Professor at IT University of Copenhagen, Denmark. He has authored/co-authored more than 140 peer-reviewed research papers in journals, conferences, and workshops. He has co-edited two books, software architecture knowledge management: theory and practice, and agile software architecture: aligning agile processes and software architectures. Dr. Ali Babar has been a guest editor of several special issues/sections of IEEE Software, JSS, ESEJ, SoSyM, IST, and REJ. Apart from being on the program committees of several international conferences such as WICSA/ECSA, ESEM, SPLC, ICGSE, and ICSSP for several years, Dr. Ali Babar has also chaired the program committees of several conferences such as WICSA/ECSA 2012, ECSA2010, PROFES2010, and ICGSE2011. He is a member of steering committees of WICSA, ECSA, NordiCloud and ICGSE. He has presented tutorials in the areas of cloud computing, software architecture and empirical approaches at various international conferences. Prior to joining R&D field, he worked as a software engineer and an IT consultant for several years in Australia. His current research interests include software architecture, cloud computing, global software development, and evidence-based software engineering. He obtained a PhD in computer science and engineering from University of New South Wales, Australia.
