Welcome to the Semeru web site
The Software Engineering Maintenance and Evolution Research Unit (Semeru) at the College of William and Mary, led by Dr. Denys Poshyvanyk, is dedicated to advancing the state of the art in software maintenance and evolution research. Our primary goal is to improve programmers' productivity and develop new methods and tools for building and maintaining higher quality software in a cost-effective manner. Specifically, we are interested in a number of research topics.
- Program comprehension
- Software maintenance and evolution
- Reverse engineering
- Software reuse
- Traceability link recovery
- Empirical studies in software engineering and evolution
- Software measurement and metrics
- Mining software repositories
- Applications of Information Retrieval in software engineering
Why Semeru?
Semeru stands for Software Engineering Maintenance and Evolution Research Unit. We take our name from Mount Semeru, an active volcano on the island of Java in Indonesia.
