McGill University invites applications for the Canada Impact+ Research Chairs intended to attract leading researchers currently working and residing outside Canada.
If you are considering applying and are working in software engineering or cybersecurity (or both!), please contact me.
Note that the deadline is very tight.
Join me in beautiful New Zealand!

I don't talk enough about DRUIDE, the language for articulating design uncertainty that @mounadhaouadi designed for her MSc thesis. It's a very good synthesis of concepts for describing the uncertainty that people have during the process of modelling.
Here is the paper, and there is even a 1 minute video of me talking about it: https://www.jot.fm/contents/issue_2021_03/article3.html

We recently developed an entropy-based metric to track the consistency of coding conventions used in test suites, as one element of their quality.
Many changes in entropy betray significant low-level events in the development of the test suite, such as the introduction of different libraries, or the progressive adoption of new naming conventions.

Unit tests must be readable to help developers understand and evolve production code. Most existing test quality metrics assess test code’s ability to detect bugs. Few metrics focus on test code’s readability. One standard approach to improve readability ...
IEEE TSE, the flagship journal of academic software engineering research, is refining its CfP with regards to AI. #SE4AI papers with a strong focus on model improvement (I.e., core AI or ML papers) will now be considered out of scope.
This presumably comes as an attempt to keep TSE distinct from existing ML or AI Engineering journals. Similar scope refinements also seem to be happening at the Big 3 conferences of the field (ICSE, FSE, ASE).
