Research Projects
 | Active Robotics projects led by Dr. Gerard McKee |
| DESEL (Designing for Ease of Systems Evolution) aims to develop a methodology which will facilitate the process of designing for ease of systems evolution. 2000-2003 |
| The MOOPS (Metrics for Object-Oriented Programming Systems) project is an on-going EPSRC-funded investigation into process and product metrics for the object-oriented paradigm. A number of papers describing this work are available.1996-1998 |
| CAHE (Computer Assisted Hypermedia Engineering) is investigating quantitative and qualitative evaluation of hypermedia production systems and applications.1996- |
| EFOOP (Evaluation of Functional and Object-Oriented Programming) project was a quantitative evaluation of the functional and object-oriented paradigms. The aim of the project was to investigate whether or not the quality of software produced using a functional language is significantly different from that produced using an object-oriented language. 1992-1997 |
| Open Systems. This project investigated the specification of secure Open Systems in the area of real-time, safety-critical command and control systems.1995-1996 |
| Evolution of Large Software Systems. This project used an electronic retails system as a case study for evolving legacy systems.1994-1997 |
