A comparison of meta-heuristic search for interactive software design (2013)
Journal Article
Smith, J. E., Simons, C. L., Simons, C., & Smith, J. (2013). A comparison of meta-heuristic search for interactive software design. Soft Computing, 17(11), 2147-2162. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00500-013-1039-1

Advances in processing capacity, coupled with the desire to tackle problems where a human subjective judgment plays an important role in determining the value of a proposed solution, has led to a dramatic rise in the number of applications of Interac...

A comparison of two memetic algorithms for software class modelling (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Smith, J., & Simons, C. (2013, July). A comparison of two memetic algorithms for software class modelling. Paper presented at Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference 2013 (GECCO 2013), Amsterdam, Netherlands

Recent research has demonstrated that the problem of class modelling within early cycle object orientated software engineering can be successfully tackled by posing it as a search problem to be tackled with meta-heuristics. This “Search Based Softwa... Read More about A comparison of two memetic algorithms for software class modelling.

Whither (away) software engineers in SBSE? (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Simons, C. (2013, May). Whither (away) software engineers in SBSE?. Paper presented at First International Workshop on Combining Modelling with Search-Based Software Engineering, San Francisco, USA

This challenges and open problems paper discusses the role of software engineers when combining modeling with Search-Based Software Engineering (SBSE). With SBSE techniques increasingly providing insights into difficult software modeling problems, th... Read More about Whither (away) software engineers in SBSE?.
