Speaker:

Per Runeson, Department of Computer Science, Lund University, Sweden

 

Dr Per Runeson is a professor of software engineering at Lund University, Sweden, and is head of its Computer Science department. He is also leader of its Software Engineering Research Group (SERG) and the Industrial Excellence Center on Embedded Applications Software Engineering (EASE). His research interests include empirical research on software development and management methods, in particular for verification and validation. He is the principal author of ”Case study research in software engineering”, has coauthored ”Experimentation in software engineering”, serves on the editorial board of Empirical Software Engineering and Software Testing, Verification and Reliability, and is a member of several program committees.

Overview:

This tutorial will cover empirical software engineering methods in overview and then focus in detail on procedures and practices for conducting Software Engineering case studies and formal experiments, comparing and contrasting the two. The tutorial will be interactive and participatory and will be particularly useful to researchers working on empirical software engineering. It will be given by Professor Per Runeson from Lund University, Sweden, who is a widely-recognised and internationally leading expert on empirical software engineering in general, and case studies and formal experiments in particular. Prof Runeson has published over 100 papers on these topics, which have attracted more than 6,500 citations. He is the co-author of many widely known articles and books on empirical software engineering, such as his seminal text book "experimentation in software engineering", published by Kluwer in 2000 and republished by Springer in 2012. He is also an author of "Case Study Research in Software Engineering -- Guidelines and Example", published by Wiley in 2012.
