Estimada Comunidad

Los invitamos este Martes 31 de Mayo a las 14:15 a una charla del Guilherme Travassos de la Universidad de Río de Janeiro.

"From Silver Bullets to Philosopher' Stones: Who wants to be just an empiricist?"

La presentación tendrá lugar en la Sala de Reuniones de Departamento de Informática, Campus San Joaquín y se transmitirá por videoconferencia al Aula Tecnológica en Casa Central. 

*Mini Bio:*

Guilherme H. Travassos holds a B.Sc. Eng. (Electrical Engineering, UFJF, 1985) , a Master (1990) and D.Sc. (1994) in Systems Engineering and Computer Science (Software Engineering, COPPE/UFRJ) . He carried out his Post-Doctorate at the University of Maryland-College Park along with the SEL/NASA (USA – 1998 2000. He is currently a professor in the Systems Engineering and Computer Science Program (PESC) of COPPE/Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. 

Prof. Travassos is a CNPq 1D Researcher. His researches’ interests are concerned with Experimental Software Engineering, acting mainly in the following themes: software quality (VV&T), science in large scale, engineering of Web applications and ubiquitous systems, simulation in software engineering, environments and tools to support the development and experimentation in software. Additionally, he leads the Experimental Software Engineering Group at COPPE/UFRJ and is member of the International Software Engineering Research Network – ISERN. He is also member of the Brazilian Computer Society – SBC and a professional member of the Association for Computer

Machinery – ACM. He is an associated editor of Elsevier – Information and Software Technology (IST) Journal and takes part in the editorial board of SpringerOpen – Journal of Software Engineering Research and Development (JSERD) and World Scientific – International Journal of Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering (IJSEKE). He intensively collaborates withthe software industry through research and development projects executed at COPPE/UFRJ. More information at www.cos.ufrj.br/~ght


*Resumen:*

For a long time scientists have been committed to describe and organize information obtained by observing the field. The ideas regarding experimentation have been explored and evolved into different scientific areas, including physics, agriculture, medicine, engineering and social sciences among others. We can observe similar behavior in Software Engineering and Computer Science. Software engineers have intensively worked to understand the application and evolution of software processes and technologies by applying the scientific method (experimentation) to support their researches. Nowadays, experimentation has demonstrated to be a need for the field evolution. In fact, experimentation based approaches already represent a cardinal tool to support the transference of software technologies to the industry; improve software processes and evidence behaviors in Software Engineering.

The Experimental Software Engineering Group at COPPE/UFRJ (ese.cos.ufrj.br) promotes experimentation in the building of software technologies to the industry.  However, just providing the software technology is not enough. It is necessary to present evidence regarding its feasibility and applicability to different development contexts. Without such evidence the technology use is risky. Therefore, we make a technology available by going through three initial stages in its life cycle: conception, construction and evaluation. Some approaches to construct and evaluate software technologies are easily found in the technical literature. However, this is not the case with the conception stage.

This talk discuss an approach concerned with the conception, construction and evaluation of software technologies based on evidence collected through secondary and primary studies. The aim is to strength the confidence by reducing empiricism and increasing experimentalism. Different types of studies (including quasi-systematic reviews, surveys, quasi-experiments, action research and so on) and decision points are presented to allow their evaluation and application by software engineering researchers. The arguments will be illustrated with concrete examples of technologies that have been developed by the ESE group following this approach.

Cordiales Saludos,
