Group colloquium: Nine Inherent Problems in Software Engineering

When: Nov. 1, 2018, 15:45-16:45

Where: Cubicus B209

Who: Mehmet Akşit

This talks identifies and describes nine inherent problems in software engineering. These are namely,  the imperfect information problem, the early partitioning problem, the ambiguity resolution problem, the constructability problem, the hermeneutics problem, the value alignment and optimization problem, the separation and composition of concerns problem, the emerging composition problem, and the computational complexity of synthesis problem. The aim of this talk is to provide a novel conceptual framework for researchers and engineers working in the areas of software engineering so that they consciously and effectively seek for feasible solutions to their problems of interest within the constraints of the inherent problems defined. These 9 inherent problems have been also the inspiration of the research activities carried out by the Twente research and Education on Software Engineering (TRESE) group for more than 30 years.
