Main Research Themes

Software Development Environments

The research in the area of Software Development Environments (ADS) is being held since 1989. Work in progress involving research and development at:

• Infrastructure for ADS
• Software Development Environments oriented organization
• the enterprise software development environments
• software reuse and development environments
• Management of software development projects
• Knowledge management in software engineering and organizational learning

Software Quality Control

The work in this area began in 1985. The work in progress, are related to:

• Software process: definition, measurement and improvement
• d Quality software andmaterials, verification and validation
• Software Metrics
• Tools for quality assessment

  A key activity in this area is participation in Brazilian Program Quality and Productivity / Software.

Software Reuse

In this area are being carried out research and development in the following areas:

• domain engineering and product line
• Configuration Management and reuse of software
• Component-based Development
• the domain specific software architectures
• Re-engineering and software reuse

Experimental Software Engineering

The work in this area began in 2000. There are ongoing research and development in the following areas:

• Software Engineering and experimental studies
• experimentation process
• Templates for packaging experiments
• Infrastructure for experimentation
• Evidence-based Software Engineering
