General Topics in Software Engineering

 

The discipline of software engineering encompasses techniques, tools and methods for the construction of large software systems using teams of developers. When software is engineered, the processes and methods are systematic and predictable rather than being adhoc and arbitrary. Several research topics fall into this area of my research including software design, software reengineering, reverse engineering, etc.
