News

The call for papers for the 3rd International Workshop on Emerging Trends in Software Metrics is now available. New for this edition: Authors of selected papers from the workshop will be invited to submit extended versions of their work to a special issue of the Journal of Software: evolution and process.

Research

My main area of research is measuring software design quality. To support this kind of research I manage the Qualitas Corpus, a standard corpus of open-source Java software for use in empirical studies of software. Further information on my research (including publication list, possible projects I might supervise, and a list of current and past students) about my research interests and achievements is available. I am a member of the Software Engineering Research Group. I am a researcher on the Software Process and Product Improvement Project.
