The lab studies the automation of software development and software repository mining.
AboutAbout the lab
Studying the automation of the software development process.
POSL (the Software Engineering and Programming Languages Lab) conducts research in software engineering.
Specifically, the lab works on research to automate the software development process and on software repository mining.
The lab covers a wide range of high-profile topics in the software field and actively collaborates with researchers overseas.
On the lab's website, the lab is introduced under the names "POSL" and "Kamei Lab."
Key terms
- Software repository mining
- Research that analyzes data in repositories (storage locations) where development history is accumulated, and extracts knowledge from it.
- Empirical software engineering
- A field that examines real development data to empirically clarify how software development is carried out.
- Termination verification
- Checking whether a program is guaranteed to terminate.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab works on research to automate the software development process and on software repository mining. On the website, the research topics are divided under the headings "SE for AI and AI for SE" and "Software Repository Mining."
*Illustrative imageSE for AI and AI for SE
The lab covers machine learning engineering, automatic improvement of neural network models, and co-creative programming with artificial intelligence. Automated support for proving program correctness and termination verification are also research topics.
*Illustrative imageSoftware repository mining
The lab lists open source software engineering, empirical software engineering, support for software testing and debugging, and automated refactoring as research topics.
