Projects
- SERT – SERT – Software Engineering ReThought is a groundbreaking research project with the aim to take on the next generation challenges facing companies developing software-intensive systems and products. SERT is blazing the road introducing 3:rd generation empirical software engineering – denoting close co-production of pragmatic problem-solving in close collaboration with our industrial partners as we perform engineering research into topics critical for engineering and business success. SERTs formulation of 3:rd generation empirical software engineering will utilize related knowledge areas as catalysts to solve challenges. Value-based engineering, Data-driven evidence based engineering, and Human-based development will complement software engineering competence in an integrated eco-system of competence focused on the challenges at hand. All areas in software engineering, ranging from inception, realization to evolution are part of the research venture – reflecting that companies need solutions covering their entire ecosystem.
- PLEng – PLEng (Professional Licentiate of Engineering School) is a concept of integrated research school that enables the industry to develop skills-based specialists and objective problem solvers. The research school, which is conducted for 3 years part-time, focuses on developing applied research and innovative solutions to specific problems. Participants in PLEng’s combine their research studies in parallel with work in their respective companies, which means a more flexible form compared with traditional research studies.
- PROMPT – a national educational initiative in cooperation with several academic parties and several leading Swedish industrial companies and organizations. The goal is to guarantee the supply of advanced software competencies and innovativeness. PROMPT is offering university courses on advanced level, directed towards professionals. The courses are web-based, tailored to fit in combination with work, and free of charge for both the student and the company. PROMPT is funded by the Swedish Knowledge Foundation and the partners in the consortium.
