Workshops and Conferences

Athlone Workshop 2012

T

he 10th Lero Researchers Workshop took place at the Sheraton Hotel in Athlone on September 19th and 20th. Over the course of the two days, researchers had the opportunity to interact with fellow Lero personnel and to discuss common research themes. On day one, a number of Lero researchers presented 8-minute updates on their research programmes. Following this series of research presentations, the attendees were divided up into two separate groupings.

Within each grouping, the participants engaged in a speed-dating type exercise that was designed to quickly allow for information exchange. Although the speeddating was quite tiring, the outcome was generally well received with many positive comments regarding the effectiveness of the exercise. Upon completion of the speed-dating, each individual was asked to identify a number of people with whom they shared a research interest. Later, individuals were grouped based on their expressed preferences and each group was asked to work together on the development of a proposed research paper. In the evening, Professor Mike Hinchey hosted a table quiz, which consisted of a selection of challenging questions that caused some moderate distress at certain tables – but enough about the war!

On the morning of the second day of the workshop, each group delivered a brief overview of their proposed research paper, after which the doctoral students broke away to attend the Lero Doctoral Symposium.

This year, the doctoral symposium examination panel consisted of Professors David Bustard (University of Ulster), Isabelle Perseil (Telecom ParisTech) and Marian Petre (Open University). A number of PhD candidates presented their work with the examination panel providing feedback and guidance to the students. While the doctoral symposium was underway, the main academic body focused on various Demonstrator requirements and techniques.

Once again, the Lero Researchers Workshop was very successful in terms of bringing Lero researchers together and providing an effective stage for information exchange and potential research collaboration - and many thanks are to be extended to all who were involved in the organisation of the event.

Open Forum on Agile-Lean Software Development at NUI Galway

Mel and Iman Win Best Paper at ESEM 2012 Mel Ó Cinnéide and Iman Hem ati Moghadam were winners the best paper award at ESEM 2012. Following on from their success at CSMR’2 012, Mel Ó Cinnéide and Iman Hemati Moghadam won the Best Paper award at the 6th International Sym posium on Empirical Software Engineering and Mea surement for their paper entitled Experimental Ass essment of Software Metrics Using Automated Ref actoring, coauthored with Laurence Tratt (King’s Col lege London), Mark Harman (University College London) and Steve Counsell (Brunel University). The ir work shows how search-based automated refactor ing can be used to emperimentally evaluate and con trast software quality metrics, and was used to unc over several hitherto unknown weaknesses in well-kno wn cohesion metrics.

L

ero @ NUI Galway NUI Galway’s Lero Research Centre held an open forum on Agile-Lean Software Development on September 21st involving 16 companies from across Ireland. The forum was led by Dr Kieran Conboy of NUI Galway and Ken Power of Cisco Systems.

Software development organisations are increasingly using Agile and Lean approaches to product development in an effort to improve how they work and build stronger relationships with their customers.

Many of the nuances and complexities of software development mean that while these techniques can bring value and result in significant productivity gains, there are still challenges that must be overcome.

This open event targeted industry practitioners at all stages of their Agile and Lean adoption facilitating the sharing of challenges, experiences and solutions to Agile and Lean adoption.

The forum addressed a number of emerging issues such as effort estimation techniques, test-driven development, performance management and staff motivation. The forum used a combination of handson exercises and an open format to foster communication

and collaboration among participants. Each session concluded with a summary of key solutions and action points for the participants to trial in their respective organisations. The purpose is that, at the next event in December, industry participants will report the results of these trials and effectiveness of proposed solutions.

This forum was part of €1.8m SFI funded research at NUI Galway (see http://agilelean.lero.ie), which aims to create a world class network of excellence in software management covering contemporary approaches such as lean, agile, portfolio and open innovation, and based on contemporary research in collaboration with local and national industry partners. This multi-disciplinary research brings together researchers from the Institute for Business, Social Science and Public Policy and the Lero national research centre. This €1.8m initiative involves 3 research fellows, 5 full-time and 3 industry-based PhDs in NUI Galway as well as dedicated time from more than 20 staff from companies including Cisco, Information Mosaic, Almir, Intel and Storm Technologies amongst others.

Lero News

Bringing Our Primary Schools up to Scratch!

During the spring/summer 2012, Lero has been busy preparing Scratch materials and teacher training for primary level.

Elaine Lyons from Ballingarry National School Co. Limerick, a local Scratch expert, worked with us in Lero to create these resources. Ten Scratch lesson plans for primary schools and tutor materials for a Scratch course titled “Scratch Programming and Numeracy in Senior Primary Classes (NCTE/Lero)” are now freely available online at http://scratch. ie/primary/resources. The NCTE and the Irish Computer Society support these projects.

The Scratch course “Scratch Programming and Numeracy in Senior Primary Classes

(NCTE/Lero)” ran in 21 education centres around the country during the summer of 2012 and feedback has been very positive. 45 tutors delivering the course participated in a two day tutor training session held in DCU in May. This 20-hour course, which focuses on Scratch and numeracy, entitles teachers to 3 Extra Personal Vacation (EPV) days during the school year. We estimate that between 200-300 teachers participated in the course during the summer of 2012. We are looking forward to seeing Scratch being used in primary schools

Work Programme and Project News Top Review Ratings for Charter Project Researchers from LERO were involved in the successful Artemis JU CHARTER project.

CHARTER (Critical and High Assurance Requirements Transformed through Engineering Rigour) The project’s aim was to demonstrate that advanced compiler, verification, tracing, and testing techniques can be combined to provide a robust engineering platform for safety critical embedded systems. The project scored top marks with an “Excellent” rating after its final review was held at the National Aeronautical Research Laboratory, Amsterdam. It’s also quite an achievement to receive the top rating for all three reviews from the EU project officer and external reviewers and particular praise for the consistent high quality of all the deliverables.

Led by Dr. Fergal Mc Caffery at Dundalk Institute of Technology, the Lero team included Paul Brennan, Dr. Peter Donnelly, Dr. Stefan Bloom with assistance provided by Prof. Joe Kiniry IT University of Copenhagen. Lero provided input into the research aspects of formal verification for concurrent systems, provided an overall evaluation of the tools and developed a medical device use case to demonstrate the CHARTER technologies. The project has led to an increased cooperation between Dundalk Institute and a number of leading European universities, research centres and industry partners.
