Overwiew:

Although research in software engineering has been going on since the formation of The Department of Information System, the research group in Software Engineering was formally established in early 2006. It is hope that the group will further strengthen the research activities especially in maintaining the Research University status. The group has a wide range of research interests, including object-oriented, software costing, software testing, human computer interaction, and software evaluation.

Group Leader :
