Ireland’s standing in global software research is reflected in the fact that Lero – the Irish Software Engineering Research Centre, headquartered at the University of Limerick, has been invited to present nine papers at the the International Conference on Software Engineering, (ICSE 2013) in San Francisco  from 18-26th May.

ICSE is the premier worldwide forum for professionals involved in all aspects of software engineering research. Over 1,000 academic, industrial and governmental researchers from dozens of countries will attend. Lero researchers will present papers covering many aspects of software engineering including agile methods, medical devices and adaptive privacy.

“This is the primary event or World Cup for software engineering and it is a tribute to the quality of our research team that Ireland is so well represented,” commented Professor Mike Hinchey, Director, Lero which is funded by SFI. “Located so close to Silicon Valley the conference will further enhance Ireland’s reputation as a European high tech centre.”

Researchers, practitioners and educators will present, discuss and debate the most recent innovations, trends, experiences and challenges in the field of software engineering. ICSE 2013, the 35th in the conference series, encourages contributors from academia, industry, and government to share leading edge software engineering ideas with other leaders in the field.

Lero, the Irish Software Engineering Research Centre  – is a global leader in software engineering research. It brings together researchers in the University of Limerick, Trinity College Dublin, University College Dublin, Dublin City University, NUI Galway, and Dundalk Institute of Technology. It is funded by Science Foundation Ireland and other Irish and international funding agencies.
