Staff profile

• A long-term research interest has been the study of software design practices, and my most recent book (2021) is the third edition of Software Design, published by Chapman and Hall. Over the years this interest has led to an increasing involvement with empirical techniques, both for studying design activities, and also in terms of their more general role in software engineering. In particular, I have developed an interest in the concept of what is meant by evidence, and how it can be collected, aggregated and analysed, leading to the book Evidence-Based Software Engineering & Systematic Reviews in collaboration with Barbara Kitchenham and Pearl Brereton, published in November 2015. We also maintain a web site (www.ebse.org.uk) that is aimed at providing guidance about evidence-based software engineering (EBSE) and systematic reviews for use by researchers, practitioners, students and teachers.
• I was principal investigator on the Evidence Based Software Engineering (EBSE) project, funded by EPSRC between 2005 and 2007 and was joint principal investigator on its successor Evidence-based Practice Informing Computing (EPIC) during 2008-2009. According to a recent update from Scopus (December 2022), two of the many papers produced by these projects are respectively the most-cited papers in the journal Information & Software Technology (Kitchenham, Brereton, Budgen, Turner, Bailey & Linkman, “Systematic Literature Reviews in Software Engineering–A systematic Literature Review”, 51(1), 7-15, 2009); and in the Journal of Systems & Software (Brereton, Kitchenham, Budgen, Turner, and Khalil, “Lessons from applying the Systematic Literature Review process within the Software Engineering domain”, 80(4), pages 571–583, 2007).
• Between 2002 and 2004, I acted as the Project Manager for the EPSRC-funded IBHIS project (Integration Broker for Heterogeneous Information Sources), involving collaboration between the Universities of Durham, Keele and Manchester. IBHIS explored the emerging technology of software services and demonstrated how software service architectures can be employed to enable access to information held and owned by autonomous, independent agencies in the healthcare domain. This latter area of research remains an ongoing interest.
• An ongoing issue of concern and investigation is the quality of systematic reviews being published in software engineering. Authors of reports of all forms of secondary studies are encouraged to consult and follow the SEGRESS guidelines described in the 2023 paper: Barbara Kitchenham, Lech Madeyski and David Budgen. SEGRESS: Software Engineering Guidelines for REporting Secondary Studies, IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, 49(3):1273–1298, 2023. DOI 10.1109/TSE.2022.3174092 (Open Access), in order to ensure accurate and comprehensive reporting of their research.

• 2010: Invited Participant: SPSD Workshop: I was an invited participant at the workshop on "Studying Professional Software Design" (SPSD), sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and held at the University of California, Irvine, in February 2010
• 2010: Invited Keynote Presentation: ECOOP 2010: Presented an invited keynote talk on the theme "From Advocacy to Evidence: A Discipline in Transition" at ECOOP 2010 (European Conference on Object Oriented Programming), Maribor, Slovenia, June 2010.
• 2006: Conference Keynote: I was a keynote speaker at the IEEE-sponsored 19th Conference on Software Engineering Education and Training, Oahu, Hawaii, 2006.
• 2004: IEEE-CS/ACM Working Group: I represented the British Computer Society as a member of the IEEE-CS/ACM working group that developed the SE2004 curriculum guidelines for teaching undergraduate software engineering programmes. Published by IEEE Computer Society Press as "Software Engineering 2004: Curriculum Guidelines for Undergraduate Degree Programs in Software Engineering"
• 1997: EPSRC College: I have been a member of the EPSRC College since its inception in 1997, have reviewed extensively and have taken part in a number of award panels.
