Titre : Software Engineering for Interdisciplinary Research
Abstract : Today, it is hard to imagine an activity – from commerce to manufacturing to healthcare to education and entertainment – that is not mediated by software. This makes software engineering a key discipline for interdisciplinary research. In this presentation, I will discuss three research projects to illustrate the above statement and I will point out some of the key ingredients that make such projects succeed.
