Theme: Bridging Industry & Research The 4 th International Predictor Models in Software Engineering (PROMISE) Workshop May 12, 2008
Industry perspective
To what extent does industry embrace research findings and models?
Why is it not more?
Is research relevant? practical? capable of application? ultimately beneficial?
Are industry folks uninformed? lazy? too busy? Is the ROI too low?
Research perspective
Is SE research aligned with industry needs?
Does it need to be or is it just a ‘tenure’ thing?
Is empirical research unrealistic?
Too specific? Too complex? Obsolete?
How can models be validated?
Correlation? Yes!! Causal? Maybe
