Introduction to the special section—General Theories of Software Engineering: new advances and implications for research
(2016)
Stol, Klaas-Jan; Goedicke, Michael; Jacobson, Ivar
Abstract:
In recent years, software engineering researchers have recognized the importance of the role of theory or SE research, resulting in the emergence of the General Theories of Software Engineering (GTSE) community. This editorial introduces a special section that contains four articles, and reflects on the advances made by the contributing authors. We discuss the different approaches taken in each of the four papers and outline a number of avenues for future research.

Grounded theory in software engineering research: a critical review and guidelines
(2016)
Stol, Klaas-Jan; Ralph, Paul; Fitzgerald, Brian
Abstract:
Grounded Theory (GT) has proved an extremely useful research approach in several fields including medical sociology, nursing, education and management theory. However, GT is a complex method based on an inductive paradigm that is fundamentally different from the traditional hypothetico-deductive research model. As there are at least three variants of GT, some ostensibly GT research suffers from method slurring, where researchers adopt an arbitrary subset of GT practices that are not recognizable as GT. In this paper, we describe the variants of GT and identify the core set of GT practices. We then analyze the use of grounded theory in software engineering. We carefully and systematically selected 98 articles that mention GT, of which 52 explicitly claim to use GT, with the other 46 using GT techniques only. Only 16 articles provide detailed accounts of their research procedures. We offer guidelines to improve the quality of both conducting and reporting GT studies. The latter is an ...

The ABC of software engineering research
(2018)
Stol, Klaas-Jan; Fitzgerald, Brian
Abstract:
A variety of research methods and techniques are available to SE researchers, and while several overviews exist, there is consistency neither in the research methods covered nor in the terminology used. Furthermore, research is sometimes critically reviewed for characteristics inherent to the methods. We adopt a taxonomy from the social sciences, termed here the ABC framework for SE research, which offers a holistic view of eight archetypal research strategies. ABC refers to the research goal that strives for generalizability over Actors (A) and precise measurement of their Behavior (B), in a realistic Context (C). The ABC framework uses two dimensions widely considered to be key in research design: the level of obtrusiveness of the research and the generalizability of research findings. We discuss metaphors for each strategy and their inherent limitations and potential strengths. We illustrate these research strategies in two key SE domains, global software engineering and requirem...

Cooperative Thinking: analyzing a new framework for software engineering education
(2019)
Ciancarini, Paolo; Missiroli, Marcello; Russo, Daniel
Abstract:
Computational Thinking (CT) and Agile Values (AV) focus respectively on the individual capability to think algorithmically, and on the principles of collaborative software development. Although these two dimensions of software engineering education complement each other, very few studies explored their interaction. In this paper we use an exploratory Structural Equation Modeling technique to introduce and analyze Cooperative Thinking (CooT), a model of team-based computational problem solving. We ground our model on the existing literature and validate it through Partial Least Square modeling. Cooperative Thinking is new competence which aim is to support cooperative problem solving of technical contents suitable to deal with complex software engineering problems. This article suggests to tackle the CooT construct as an education goal, to train students of software development to improve both their individual and teaming performances.

Examining unequal gender distribution in software engineering
(2019)
Murphy, Alex; Kelly, Ben; Bergmann, Kai; Khaletskyy, Kyrylo; O'Connor, Rory; Clarke, Paul
Abstract:
This paper investigates the biological, psychological and societal reasoning for the disparity of females in the software engineering industry and how a more diverse workforce can have an advantage in this sector. Studies show that diversity in a company positively correlates to its financial profits. Furthermore, a severe lack of women in software engineering causes companies to limit themselves to smaller talent pools, decrease the creative outlook on fresh ideas and resolution of problems. There are superficially inherent reasons why computing appeals to men more than women, observations in multiple reports suggest that men may have a small advantage when it comes to mathematical and problem-solving skills. Additionally, it is elsewhere suggested that females interests reside in other fields related to ‘people’, whereas males are generally more interested in ‘things’. However, while societal factors and bias plays a role in the discouragement of women from the software engineerin...

REM4j - A framework for measuring the reverse engineering capability of UML CASE tools
(2007)
Kearney, Steven; Power, James F.
Abstract:
Reverse Engineering is becoming increasingly important in the software development world today as many organizations are battling to understand and maintain old legacy systems. Today’s software engineers have inherited these legacy systems which they may know little about yet have to maintain, extend and improve. Currently there is no framework or strategy that an organisation can use to determine which UML CASE tool to use. This paper sets down such a framework, to allow organisations to base their tool choice on this reliable framework. We present the REM4j tool, an automated tool, for benchmarking UML CASE tools, we then use REM4j to carry out one such evaluation with eleven UML CASE tools. This framework allows us to reach a conclusion as to which is the most accurate and reliable UML CASE tool.

Climate Change: Meeting the challenge of adaptation
(2009)
Murphy, Conor; Fealy, Rowan
Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to provide information to the engineering community on where we currently stand in our knowledge of the impacts of climate change in Ireland. It seeks to identify what we know and where the key uncertainties lie in relation to climate variables and impacts that are critical to designing robust engineering strategies for the future. Rather than trawl the substantial literature in the limited time available it provides some of the important findings from the key reports produced for Ireland in recent years, particularly Sweeney et al., 2008, McGrath et al., 2008 and Hulme at al., 2002. The thrust behind these reports has been to inform policy development in adapting to climate change. It is hoped that these findings will serve as a starting point for dialogue between the climate change research community and the engineering community about where we need to go from here in order to refine and provide the best information as possible for a profession with a ...

The Role of Mathematics in Engineering Practice and in the Formation of Engineers
(2012)
Goold, Eileen
Abstract:
This research investigated the role of mathematics in engineering practice and whether there is a relationship between students’ experiences with school mathematics and their choice of engineering as a career. The study was inspired by the observation that there is a lacuna in the scholarly literature concerning the nature of mathematics’ role, if any, as a significant cause of the declining number of students entering professional engineering courses. Additionally there is currently no broad picture of the mathematical expertise required or used by practising engineers. The population of interest in this study comprises professional engineers practising in Ireland. A sequential explanatory mixed methods design, where the subsequent collection and analysis of interview data builds on the survey findings, is employed. Engineers’ use of mathematics is considered in three parts: curriculum mathematics, mathematical thinking, and engaging with mathematics. Curriculum mathematics usage i...

Applying Software Engineering Techniques to Parser Design: The Development of a C# Parser
(2002)
Malloy, Brian A.; Power, James F.; Waldron, John T.
Abstract:
In this paper we describe the development of a parser for the C# programming language. We outline the development process used, detail its application to the development of a C# parser and present a number of metrics that describe the parser’s evolution. This paper presents and reinforces an argument for the application of software engineering techniques in the area of parser design. The development of a parser for the C# programming language is in itself important to software engineering, since parsers form the basis for tools such as metrics generators, refactoring tools, pretty-printers and reverse engineering tools.

Engagement and Learning from a team-based mini-project in mechatronic engineering
(2020)
Murphy, Noel; Bruton, Jennifer
Abstract:
We outline our experiences with hidden and unsignposted learning by us and by our students arising from a team-based project activity in a 3rd-year undergraduate engineering module in the general Mechatronics area. We discuss the hidden learning achieved in areas such as team communications, team management, problem-solving skills, and communication through the media of student-produced video and presentations, as well as technical engineering reports. We describe the enablement of student reflection on their learning and its benefits and use these reflections to evidence various aspects of their learning. The work is situated within the literature on innovations and quality of STEM education.

Using peer review to enhance the quality of engineering laboratory reports
(2008)
Foley, Greg
Abstract:
Peer review of third year bioprocess engineering laboratory reports was introduced in an attempt to improve the standard of report writing in the BSc in Biotechnology degree programme at DCU. Preliminary results suggest that the review process leads to improved report writing skills. The student response to the initiative was very positive but it was strongly felt that the process should be anonymous. On average, marks awarded by students were higher than those awarded by the lecturer but there was a slight tendency to award more extreme marks.

Analysis of international graduate programmes structures for engineering education
(2010)
Brabazon, Dermot; Naher, Sumsun; Karazi, Shadi; Murphy, Gary
Abstract:
This article traces the evolution of graduate study in Engineering in Ireland over three decades. Very few studies have shown the different norms and structures of graduate programmes in Ireland. In this paper, a review of traditional and structured PhD in terms of credit requirements and co-ordination structures is presented. The authors summarise the characteristics of graduate programmes in different universities in Ireland and compare these to those obtained in some of the leading international universities. The implementation of graduate programmes in Ireland is relatively recent and the structure of these programmes is still under development in the different universities. Plans for enhancement of graduate programs and the development of new initiatives to support graduate student academic and professional development are very important for the success of these programmes. The growth in enrolment reflects a broad diversity in background of students which will require not only ...

Is there a transition flux? Incorporating a research element into an undergraduate engineering laboratory
(2010)
Lawler, Jenny; Foley, Greg
Abstract:
It is frequently remarked that the modern student has an excellent ability to recall information but cannot think independently and does not show initiative. While the secondary school curriculum is a major factor in this regard, it must be said that large parts of the third level experience perpetuate this problem. However, increased use of active learning, problem based learning and research-based learning should help to encourage independent thinking. In most degree courses in Engineering/Science, a final year project is the first true taste of scientific research encountered by undergraduate students. The final year research project can often prove an extremely daunting task, and the amount of time and effort required by the undergraduate student to settle into this new type of work can be detrimental to the work of the student on core subjects that are assessed by written examination. We present here the incorporation of real research into an engineering laboratory module taug...

Model-driven performance evaluation for service engineering
(2007)
Pahl, Claus; Boskovic, Marko; Hasselbring, Wilhelm
Abstract:
Service engineering and service-oriented architecture as an integration and platform technology is a recent approach to software systems integration. Software quality aspects such as performance are of central importance for the integration of heterogeneous, distributed service-based systems. Empirical performance evaluation is a process of measuring and calculating performance metrics of the implemented software. We present an approach for the empirical, model-based performance evaluation of services and service compositions in the context of model-driven service engineering. Temporal databases theory is utilised for the empirical performance evaluation of model-driven developed service systems.

Is attending lectures still relevant in engineering education?
(2011)
Fitzpatrick, John J.; Cronin, Kevin; Byrne, Edmond P.
Abstract:
A case study was conducted on a group of undergraduate chemical engineering students to assess the relevance of attending lectures from a student perspective and to understand why these students attend and do not attend lectures with a view to developing approaches to teaching, which are of greater interest and benefit to student learning. The students were surveyed by means of a questionnaire-type survey, which collected both quantitative and qualitative data from them. The majority of students stated that lectures are still very beneficial to their learning and are not an out-of-date mode of education. The major reasons for lecture non-attendance were time priority and curriculum overload issues with other scholarly activities and poor quality teaching. The students provided a number of suggestions to improve lectures and lecture attendance, including the incorporation of active learning in lectures, linking lectures to assessment and adding extra value to what is already in the n...

Cell-seeded decellularised extracellular matrices as an advanced approach for tissue engineering
(2009)
Piterina, Anna Valentinova; Davis, Laura M.; Meaney, Claire L.; Cloonan, Aidan J.; Walsh, Michael T.; McGloughlin, Timothy M.
Abstract:
Development and optimisation of therapeutic applications using biological scaffolds composed of naturally occurring extracellular matrix (ECM) have received significant attention in the field of tissue engineering. Histological and molecular investigations combined with comprehensive electron microscopy have shown that decellularised matrices from animal sources may vary in structure and biochemical properties. The source (bladder or small intestine submucosa), species, age of animal, and type of preparation of these matrices may contribute to the unique biophysical properties of the delivered product. Comparison of the thickness, topography, porosity and biomechanical properties of these matrices are presented. Vascular cell adhesion, migration and proliferation, and cell ingrowths on scaffold matrices were analysed using fluorescent labelling and laser confocal microscopy. ECM is shown to be a promising material for vascular tissue engineering and supports the growth, proliferatio...

Software engineering lecturers are faced with the teaching of concepts which sometimes are not easy for inexperienced students to understand. Therefore, it can be useful to consider and use non-traditional teaching methods which can improve students’ learning. In this paper, we discuss problem-based learning and how its use can improve students’ understanding of concepts. We present factors which should exist in ‘pure’ problem-based learning. We then describe how one of the authors used problem-based learning in a class who were required to understand information flows through software engineering diagramming techniques, with the ultimate view to being able to analyse and design computerized information systems. This problem-based learning class was observed and analysed by the second author. The analysis presented focuses on the problem-based learning factors, how they were implemented in class, and the strengths and weaknesses of the use of problem-based learning in this way. In c...

Quality-aware model-driven service engineering

Abstract:
Service engineering and service-oriented architecture as an integration and platform technology is a recent approach to software systems integration. Quality aspects ranging from interoperability to maintainability to performance are of central importance for the integration of heterogeneous, distributed service-based systems. Architecture models can substantially influence quality attributes of the implemented software systems. Besides the benefits of explicit architectures on maintainability and reuse, architectural constraints such as styles, reference architectures and architectural patterns can influence observable software properties such as performance. Empirical performance evaluation is a process of measuring and evaluating the performance of implemented software. We present an approach for addressing the quality of services and service-based systems at the model-level in the context of model-driven service engineering. The focus on architecture-level models is a consequenc...

Petkov, Doncho; Edgar-Nevill, Denis; Madachy, Raymond; O'Connor, Rory
Abstract:
The chapter provides possible directions for the wider application of the systems approach to information systems development. Potential improvement of software development practices is linked by some leading experts to the application of more systemic ideas. However, the current state of the practice in software engineering and information systems development shows the urgent need for improvement through greater application of systems thinking.

Abstract:
This article traces past research on the application of the systems approach to information systems development within the disciplines of information systems and software engineering. Their origins historically are related to a number of areas, including general systems theory. While potential improvement of software development practices is linked by some leading experts to the application of more systemic methods, the current state of the practice in software engineering and information systems development shows this is some way from being achieved. The authors propose possible directions for future research and practical work on bringing together both fields with systems thinking.

Development of miniature personal thermoelectric generator
(2004)
Brink, Riaan
Abstract:
This paper outlines research toward the degree of Masters in Engineering (M.Eng) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Dublin City University. The thesis focuses on experimental and analytical investigations on the dynamics of thermocouples and thermopiles reaction to low temperature (less than 400°C or waste heat) for the feasibility and purpose of generating electricity. Thermocouples generate unique voltages at relative set temperatures. It is with this voltage that the development applications of conductive heat flow and radiation in waste heat electro generation for miniature personal thermoelectric generation is considered. The process involves a thermal heat source (the body) extracting the necessary power between the temperature differences into electrical power. Both passive and active properties of this thermal generator are investigated by measuring the mechanical and electrical properties of the couples and piles and the electro motive force produced during thi...

International systems and software engineering standards for very small entities
(2013)
Laporte, Claude; O'Connor, Rory; Fanmuy, Gauthier
Abstract:
Very Small Entities (VSEs) developing systems or software are very important to the military since the components they develop are often integrated into products made by larger organizations. Failure to deliver a quality product on time and within budget may threaten both customers and suppliers. One way to mitigate these risks is to put in place proven engineering practices. ISO has ap- proved recently the publication of standards and technical reports, known as ISO/ IEC 29110, to address the needs of VSEs.
