Agent-based support for interactive search in conceptual software design (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Simons, C., & Parmee, I. (2008, July). Agent-based support for interactive search in conceptual software design. Poster presented at 10th Annual Conference on Genetic and Evolutionary Computation (GECCO' 08), Atlanta, Georgia, USA

While recent attempts to search a conceptual software engineering design search space with multi-objective evolutionary algorithms have yielded promising results, the practical application of such search-based techniques remains to be addressed. This... Read More about Agent-based support for interactive search in conceptual software design.

User-centered, evolutionary search in conceptual software design (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Simons, C., & Parmee, I. C. (2008, June). User-centered, evolutionary search in conceptual software design. Paper presented at IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation, 2008. CEC 2008. (IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence)

User-centered, evolutionary search in conceptual software design (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Simons, C., & Parmee, I. (2008, June). User-centered, evolutionary search in conceptual software design. Paper presented at IEEE Conference on Evolutionary Computation CEC '08 (IEEE World Conference on Computational Intelligence), Hong Kong

Although much evidence exists to suggest that conceptual software engineering design is a difficult task for software engineers to perform, current computationally intelligent tool support for software engineers is limited. While search-based appro... Read More about User-centered, evolutionary search in conceptual software design.

A cross-disciplinary technology transfer for search-based evolutionary computing: From engineering design to software engineering design (2007)
Journal Article
Simons, C., & Parmee, I. (2007). A cross-disciplinary technology transfer for search-based evolutionary computing: From engineering design to software engineering design. Engineering Optimization, 39(5), 631-648. https://doi.org/10.1080/03052150701382974

Although object-oriented conceptual software design is difficult to learn and perform, computational tool support for the conceptual software designer is limited. In conceptual engineering design, however, computational tools exploiting interactive e...

A forward look at computational support for conceptual design (2006)
Journal Article
Miles, J., Hall, L., Noyes, J., Parmee, I., & Simons, C. (2006). A forward look at computational support for conceptual design. Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence, LNCS, volume 4200, 492-499. https://doi.org/10.1007/11888598_44

Future research needs for computational support for conceptual design are examined. The material is the result of the work of a so called design cluster. The cluster has, through a series of workshops, defined what it believes are the salient areas i... Read More about A forward look at computational support for conceptual design.

35 years on: To what extent has software engineering design achieved its goals? (2003)
Journal Article
Parmee, I. C., Simons, C., & Coward, P. D. (2003). 35 years on: To what extent has software engineering design achieved its goals?. IEE Proceedings Software, 150(6), 337-350. https://doi.org/10.1049/ip-sen%3A20031198

The term 'software engineering' was coined in 1968 to introduce the disciplines of established branches of engineering design to software manufacture. Some 35 years on, this paper attempts to gauge the success of software engineering against its orig... Read More about 35 years on: To what extent has software engineering design achieved its goals?.
