Ir Marc van Kempen (show/hide) Abstract
I'm investigating refactoring of software architecture models, more specifically UML models. At the moment I'm focussing on establishing a method to determine behaviour equivalence before and after the refactoring. Another important aspect is to research refactoring of Architecture Models from one architectural style to another.

Joburg Center for Software Engineering (JCSE) (show/hide) Abstract

What is the JCSE?
Wits University and the City of Joburg, in partnership with Government and Industry in the ICT sector, have established a Center of Software Engineering at Wits. This Center will draw on well-established academic and research programmes at Wits and will provide the focal point of a software development cluster. The concept strongly supports the City's "Joburg 2030 Vision", which sees Johannesburg as the hub of Africa's software development sector.

The Joburg Center for Software Engineering (JCSE) aims to:

  • promote best practice in software development within an African context;
  • grow South Africa's capacity to deliver world class software; and
  • develop research and training initiatives to strengthen the local software development industry.
