SE-ALL - THE SOFTWARE ENGINEERING FOR ALL LAB

SEAL (5).png

SE-ALL (Software Engineering for All Lab) focuses on the human aspects of software engineering, including development practices, project management, software testing, fairness, and EDI. Understanding behaviors, cognitive skills, teamwork, and diverse user perspectives is vital for creating effective and innovative technology. As society becomes increasingly reliant on software across work, education, politics, and leisure, and with the rise of AI-powered systems, ensuring fairness and bias-free solutions in software is essential.

At SE-ALL, our research priorities include:

  • Theories, models, and practices to enhance software development processes.

  • Policies and recommendations to advance EDI in the software industry.

  • Techniques to ensure fairness in algorithms and prevent bias.

  • Support for software companies in leveraging diversity to boost team performance and software quality.

For research and collaboration, contact Dr. Ronnie de Souza Santos!
