Software Engineering Group

 

The group has traditionally worked on issues of software quality, software process, quantitative techniques like focused metrics, empirical and experimental methods, and statistical process control. More recently, the group is also working on a range of issues in the rapidly emerging areas of service oriented computing and web services. Some of the areas on which work is going on include performance prediction, negotiation, and issues related to composition. Software as a service is a related area in which the group is exploring configurability and multi-tenancy. Mining software process data for extracting knowledge for improving the software or software process, an area in which the group has past experience, is now being enhanced with extracting information from unstructured data using text mining so better knowledge can be obtained.
