SDCL Software Design and Collaboration Laboratory

SDCL friends Claudia Werner, Leo Murta, and Marcelo Schots visit us from UFRJ in Rio and UFF in Niteroi this week, exchanging research ideas, exploring collaborations, and working on a joint paper.

We welcome Alfredo Motta to our lab; Alfredo is visiting us for four months from Politecnico di Milano, and is exploring how designers can be assisted with feedback about their designs in progress.

Congrats to Lee Martie for getting a paper accepted in the MSR 2012 Challenge track, and Nick Mangano for getting a paper accepted in JASE [link]. Well done!

Marian Petre from The Open University visited us for this week, working on a book to be published out of the SPSD 2010 workshop and generally giving us feedback on all of our projects.

We are very excited to welcome Thomas LaToza to the laboratory. He will be joining us this Fall from CMU, where he just completed his Ph.D. (congrats!).

Yesterday and today, the SDCL hosted the SCALE meeting for our collaborative grant with CMU and UNL. Fourteen students presented their work and received feedback from the group as a whole, with various new ideas and joint projects emerging.

A demo of Calico is now available. Please visit the Calico research page, then scroll to the Demo section for details.

We are pleased to announce that Calico’s and Lighthouse’s repositories have been moved to SDCL’s new GitHub account!

The SDCL is now in charge of moderating and administrating the ACM SIGSOFT SEWORLD mailing list. The mailing list, started over 15 years ago at the University of Colorado at Boulder, serves the Software Engineering community through the dissemination of time-sensitive information relevant to the field of software engineering research (http://www.sigsoft.org/seworld/). We are very exited to be able to support the Software Engineering community in this role!
