ISR
Southern California Software Engineering Symposia and
ISR Research Forums
The annual Southern California Software Engineering Symposium was established in 2019. This one-day symposium brings participants together in Southern California to discuss trends in the field of software engineering, showcase current research, and formulate visions on strategic future research and technological directions. We encourage interaction among academia and industry through exchange of ideas and sharing of experiences. Our goal is to foster relationships, stimulate collaborative research, and encourage technology transition. All areas of software engineering are within the scope of this symposium, from human-aspects of software development, to software testing, to software architecture, and more.
This symposium builds off the popular and highly successful ISR Research Forums, held from 2002 through 2018, which brought researchers, industry leaders and technical practitioners to UC Irvine to share the latest software and information technology research developments. A chief goal of the ISR Research Forum was to foster collaboration in research and technology transfer.
Symposium and Forum program formats vary. Typically they feature a mixture of: faculty research presentations; keynote speakers who challenge participants with novel directions; panels that address current hot topics; and research posters and demonstrations.
