I am happy to announce the possibility to obtain PhD student positions in software engineering at Wroclaw University of Technology. The master degree or equivalent has to be achieved by the time of application, i.e. May 28, 2013, or until September 30, 2013 at the latest.
University College London
Recently I had a pleasure to meet at the University College London extraordinary, worldwide researchers working on Machine Learning, Optimization and Software Engineering to explore new approaches to analyse, understand and improve techniques for Software Engineering. Extremely interesting and stimulating discussions influence my research.
Research Collaboration with Industry
Recently, I had the pleasure to visit several companies (mainly focused on software development) and talk about possible areas of research collaboration (e.g. software defect prediction, agile software quality assurance, agile methodologies and practices) with my research team. I attach a short intro about my previous research, as well as selected areas of my research in progress.
We are opened on all difficult problems (especially, but not necessarily, within the software engineering domain) our potential industrial partners are able to pose, including predicting the future.
Btw. There is a famous quote attributed to Niels Bohr: “Prediction is very difficult, especially if it’s about the future.“
My book “Test-Driven Development: An Empirical Evaluation of Agile Practice” download figures from Springer
My habilitation monograph “Test-Driven Development: An Empirical Evaluation of Agile Practice” is published in both print and electronic formats. Today, Springer updated me on the chapter downloads of my eBook on SpringerLink, Springer’s online platform.
Since its online publication on Dec 22, 2009 until Dec 31, 2011, my eBook has received a total of 1717 chapter download requests. Over the last years the download figures have been as follows: 2011 (978 times), 2010 (639 times), 2009 (100 times).
A Seminar on Continuous Integration organized by the Software Engineering Department
Marcin Kawalerowicz, the co-author of the book “Continuous Integration in .NET” (http://manning.com/kawalerowicz/), wants to present an overview of the state of the art and recent advances in Continuous Integration and is looking for our advice and ideas to increase his chance of a successful PhD research.

PhD student positions in Software Engineering in Sweden
A friend of mine is looking for two new PhD (post-graduate) students in Software Engineering in Sweden.
As it should be my recommendation, I am ready to recommend only persons who I know personally.
You can be a student volunteer for the XP2012 agile conference!
Being a PC Member of the XP’2012 I would like to recommend the conference to all of the students interested in Agile methodologies and software development practices.
As a student volunteer you get: free admission to the conference, the opportunity to listen to talks about agile software development, contact to possible future employers (from both research and industry), conference proceedings, food, a T-shirt.
Mobile Applications – Android, iOS, Spring
My students’ startup (PloomWorks) that operates on emerging market of professional mobile solutions for shopping malls and museums is looking for young creative people, who want to learn interesting technologies:
– Android
– iOS
– server-side Spring-based framework etc.
and significantly contribute (internship/employment) in innovative projects (info@ploomworks.com).
A free entrance to the Softdevcon IV conference
I received a free entrance to the Softdevcon IV conference to one of my students. Let me know who is interested in attending the conference.
33rd Degree Conference for Java Masters
I’d like to recommend 33rd Degree Conference to my Software Engineering students. See list of speakers and talks.
