Organisation: The Research Education Programme in Software Engineering (SE) is one of six research and education programmes offered by the Faculty of Engineering, University of Southern Denmark.
Research and competence area (competence profile):
The Research Education Programme in Software Engineering was formerly named "Information and Communication Technology" and was launched in 2010 with the aim of educating experts that will be able to create and develop state-of-the-art software technology and make it applicable in the context of innovative societal solutions.
The researchers affiliated to the education programme are all actively involved in creating new software technologies that will form the basis of tomorrow’s innovative societal solutions within the fields of welfare technology, energy and environmentally-efficient systems, modular robotics systems, counterterrorism and organized crime.
Currently, the research on software technologies is performed within the following areas:
- Agent-oriented programming
- Ambient-assisted living
- Ambient intelligence
- Computer-supported cooperation
- Design and implementation of programming languages
- Domain-specific languages
- Dynamic software updating
- Fault-tolerant systems
- Hypertexts
- Investigative data mining
- Component-based software development
- Knowledge management
- Multi-agent systems
- Pervasive/ubiquitous computing
- Program analysis and transformation
- Software architecture
- Software composition and feature interactions
- Software evolution
In the research education programme much emphasis is put on the applicative aspect of the research performed. Therefore, the PhD education is planned as part of major research projects whose problem solutions are complex enough to form the basis of realistic evaluations of the software technologies developed.
