Cell phones and batteries are a part of our everyday life. While energy is a major concern for users, many mobile apps still abound with energy defects and developers find it difficult to properly evaluate the energy behavior of their programs. The root cause of this issue is that there is a lack of tools and techniques aimed at addressing energy concerns.
The UCI Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences (ICS) has two graduate awards geared towards supporting software engineering students. Are you interested in supporting our students through these awards?
The Richard N. Taylor Graduate Award in Software Engineering was established in Fall 2018. This was the first award in ICS specifically dedicated to software engineering. It honors the legacy of ISR Founding Director and Chancellor’s Professor Emeritus Richard N. Taylor. You can read more about it in this article.
ISR helds its second annual Southern California Software Engineering Symposium (SuCSES) on January 24. The goal of this event is to bring together researchers, leaders in industry, and technical practitioners to Southern California to discuss trends in the field of software engineering, showcase current research, formulate visions on strategic future research and technological directions, and build community.
In Fall quarter, the Rosalva Gallardo Valencia Graduate Award in ICS was established by alumna Rosalva Gallardo Valencia (Ph.D. 2012) to honor her heritage and support graduate students in need.
Congratulations to the first recipients of the Richard N. Taylor Graduate Award in Software Engineering and the newly established Rosalva Gallardo Valencia Graduate Award in ICS!
Congratulations to Prof. James A. Jones for being honored with the Most Influential Paper award at the 34th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering (ASE 2019)! This award recognizes the most influential ASE paper of the past 15 years. The 2019 award was bestowed for the 2005 ASE paper titled “Empirical Evaluation of the Tarantula Automatic Fault-Localization Technique,” which was co-authored by Jones and the late Prof.
Congratulations to Chancellor’s Prof. Michael Franz for being named a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). Franz was bestowed this lifetime distinction for his “distinguished contributions to computer science, particularly to the areas of just-in-time compilation and optimization and techniques for computer security,” per the AAAS citation.
