AbstractThe need to improve software engineering practices is continuously rising and software development practitioners are highly interested in improving their software systems and the methods to build them. And well, software engineering research has numerous success stories. The Ernst Denert Software Engineering Award specifically rewards researchers that value the practical impact of their work and aim to improve current software engineering practices. This chapter summarizes the awards history as well as the current reward process and criteria.

This paper describes an approach to software reuse that involves generating and retrieving abstractions from existing software systems using concept formation methods. The potential of the approach is illustrated through two important activities of the reuse process. First, the concept hierarchy generated by the concept formation methods is used for organizing and retrieving the artifacts inside a repository. Second, the generated concepts are used in identifying new abstractions that may be converted into new, more generic artifacts with better reuse potential. These experiments are part of a major software engineering research project involving many business and academic partners.

Progress of science and technology is very influential to development of software engineering. Communication between software developers and prospective users of software engineering by prototype system is very important in the development of software engineering. Research and Development method in research of software engineering is very suitable be used because supports the existence of such communications. But it is found there are several research that use this method with not perfect or not completed, so research results produced less fit with purpose. This paper will be explain how to used the stages must be carried out in research of software engineering with the method of research and development, in order to make the research more be effectively and efficiently as well as software development efforts that simultaneously accompanied by the validation effort for the results to be achieved in accordance with the expected goals.

Access To Data

Software engineering (SE) research addresses not only technical issues but also human behaviour. SE is considered as an immature discipline because many technical and social issues concerning software development and management have yet to be specified. SE in general is inclined towards quantitative approaches. Nevertheless, qualitative methods are still appropriate for SE research as the methods encourage deep understanding of subject matter. Grounded Theory (GT) is regarded as one of the potential qualitative methods that is applicable to SE research. The method is able to transform less and unknown SE phenomena into cohesive theories through systematic discovery of empirical data from the ground. This paper shares some encounters of using GT in SE research based on the reflection made on several SE research projects covering various phases of software development life cycle. The encounters are then transformed into adaptations and classified as GT practices for SE research, as an effort to inspire the spirit of using GT in SE particularly among novices. The practices embrace aspects concerning formulating research questions, handling preconceptions, utilising software tools, getting access to data and presenting theory and its development process. To illustrate on how the practices were derived, a case study is presented. The proposed GT practices could act as the starting point of adopting GT in SE research. They shall be refined and improved in future to possibly become best practices when more and more experience of using GT in SE are obtained.

Recent advances in testing and verification of software based on formal specifications of the system to be built have reached a point where the ideas can be applied in a powerful way in the design of agent-based systems. The software engineering research has highlighted a number of important issues: the importance of the type of modeling technique used; the careful design of the model to enable powerful testing techniques to be used; the automated verification of the behavioral properties of the system; and the need to provide a mechanism for translating the formal models into executable software in a simple and transparent way. This chapter presents a detailed and comprehensive account of the ways in which some modern software engineering research can be applied to the construction of effective and reliable agent-based software systems. More specifically, we intend to show how simple agents motivated from biology can be modeled as X-machines. Such modeling will facilitate verification and testing of an agent model, because appropriate strategies for model checking and testing are already developed around the X-machine method. In addition, modular construction of agent models is feasible, because X-machines are provided with communicating features, which allow simple models to interact.

As well as any paradigm shift, the Internet of Things (IoT) brings up challenges related to several areas of research, including Software Engineering at different stages of development. This work proposes the ScenarIoT approach aiming to support the specification of scenarios when developing software systems on the IoT background. This approach is grounded on Interaction Arrangements - designed by applying an evidence-based approach – which represents recurrent flows of interaction between abstract elements of the IoT domain. These results presented can contribute to the progress of research on IoT from the lens of the Software Engineering research field.
