Software Engineering Seminar

I regularly supervise students in the Software Engineering Seminar at the University of Bern. The seminar is part of the Bachelor and Master of Science in Computer Science program and is designed to provide students with an opportunity to explore advanced topics in software engineering, engage in research projects, and present their findings.

See Mentoring & Supervision for more information on my student supervision activities.

Software Engineering Seminar

The seminar covers changing topics on software engineering, catching up recent developments in software engineering research as well as focused problems of our own research projects and those of our students. Areas of interest include but are not limited to model-based methods that enable formal reasoning and simulation, the automation of recurring software engineering tasks, the application of AI-enabled and data-driven methods to software engineering problems, or the management of software variability and evolution. The seminar is open to all Bachelor’s and Master’s students interested in advanced topics in software engineering.

The concrete structure of the seminar may change and depends on the chosen topic. Typically, we start with a very few introductory lectures before students will work on a small practically oriented project during the semester, supervised by a member of the Software Engineering Group, and present their results at the end of the semester. Further information on the changing topics as well as the concrete structure of the seminar may be found on the SEG website (https://seg.inf.unibe.ch).
