The research in Software Engineering focuses on technological innovation combined with carefully conducted empirical studies. Our goal is to provide novel, practical and cost-effective solutions to important, enduring and hard problems faced by our industrial partners.

Motivation

Software systems form the foundation of the modern information society. Such systems, whether they stand alone or are embedded in other technological systems, are crucial to the development of the social, political, economic, and cultural worlds. Software development is a highly complex,  multidisciplinary activity, and today’s software development projects frequently face serious difficulties in meeting the expected schedule, cost budget and quality level.

The Software Engineering (SE) department of Simula addresses these challenges; that is, the motivation for our research is to generate insights, methods and products that enable more efficient, predictable and higher-quality software development.

Research Activities

Our research is conducted in close collaboration with the software industry. Moreover, because software engineering is performed by humans in organizations, we collaborate with researchers from other disciplines, such as psychology, educations, economics, statistics and management.

Our projects are:

  • APPROVE (testing, verification & validation, and evolution)
  • BEST (software cost estimation and requirements engineering)

 

The SE department participates in a number of Journal and Conference Boards
