Search Based Software Engineering: Introduction to the Special Issue of the IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering

Editorial: Special Issue on Repeatable Results in Software Engineering Prediction

The goal of science is conclusion stability, i.e. to discover some effect X that holds in multiple situations. Sadly, there are all too few examples of stable conclusions in software engineering (SE). In fact, the typical result is conclusion instability where what is true for project one, does not hold for project two. We can find numerous studies of the following form: there is as much eviden...

For the Special issue on Qualitative Software Engineering Research

Almost twenty years have passed since the first qualitative research study in software engineering was published [14]. Using qualitative methods and a qualitative analytical framework, Curtis, et al. found communication and cooperation to be critical factors in developing large-scale software systems. Given the importance of this study, it is perhaps surprising that research publications using ...

Special Issue on Cognitive Engineering

Computer-based systems have changed the nature of the work undertaken at the human-machine interface. More than ever before, operators of complex sociotechnological systems are working in a multidimensional information space. Within aviation, the development of the glass cockpit was the forerunner of things to come. Glass interfaces now pervade all areas of aviation systems. Computerization has...
