History and Mission• CSE Established in 1993• Merged in 2006 with SAE to form CSSE• Intended to provide an environment for research

and teaching – large-scale software design and development processes– generic and domain specific software architectures– software engineering tools and environments– collaborative system design– the economics of software engineering

• Objective is to solve problem of academic as well as industrial relevance

Affiliates• Currently 34 industrial affiliates

– 12 from commercial industry– 8 from aerospace industry– 6 from the Government– 6 FFRDCs and Consortia– 2 international

• Additionally– 3 visiting associates– 5 university affiliates

• Two closely affiliated research centers– SERC– CAST

Academics

• Over 30 PhDs conferred since inception• MSCS with emphasis in SE• Graduate Certificate in SAE• Two Certificate and Advanced Degree

programs– Systems and System-of-Systems Architecting– Software Architecture

Focus Areas in Software Engineering

• Architecture• Economics• Process• Testing & analysis

Software Architecture Research• Modeling

– xADL– UML– FSP– MTS– Crystal growth

• Analysis– Reliability– Availability– Energy Consumption– Memory Usage– Latency– …

Software Architecture Research• Implementation

– Architectural frameworks/middleware

• Deployment– QoS-based optimization

• Dynamic adaptation– Policy-driven

• Architectural styles• Software connectors• Architectural recovery

– Syntactic vs. semantic– Architectural smells

Software Architecture Research- Domains -

• Hand-held computing• Embedded systems• WSNs• Robotics• Grid• Scientific computing• Biologically-inspired computing

Sample Project 1MIDAS – Architecting Embedded and Mobile Systems

Sample Project 2GLIDE – Revisiting the Architecture of the Grid

Sample Project 3Mahjong – Emulating Crystal Growth on the Internet
