A paper from the Queen’s School of Computing Software Analysis and Intelligence Lab (Dr. Ahmed Hassan, Director) has won the IEEE Software Best Paper Award for 2015. The latter is believed to be the most prestigious paper award in Software Engineering for industrially relevant research.
The paper titled “An industrial case study on the automated detection of performance regressions in heterogeneous environments” will be presented in the Software Engineering in Practice track at the 37th International Conference on Software Engineering.
Based on Derek Foo’s M.Sc. research, the paper documents over 4 years of industrially-relevant work done in collaboration with Blackberry. Co-authors are (ex-sailors) Dr. Bram Adams (now a Professor at Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal) and Dr. Zhen Ming Jiang (now a professor at York University). Also members of the winning team are Dr. Ying Zou from ECE and Parminder Flora from Blackberry.
Well done and congratulations, all!
