Arie van Deursen

Welcome to the home page of Arie van Deursen. I am a professor in Software Engineering at Delft University of Technology, and part time senior researcher at CWI, the Dutch National Institute for Research in Mathematics and Computer Science.

In Delft I am heading the Software Engineering Research Group. This group employs approximately 20 people, and includes laboratories dedicated to software evolution (the SWERL lab we set up in 2003) and embedded software.

On Mondays I work at CWI, where I'm the project leader of the Software Renovation Research group in the (SEN1) software engineering theme.

Research

My research is concerned with the question how people build and evolve software systems, what the problems are with existing software systems, and whether there are better ways of doing software development and evolution. Usually, I try to find answer to these questions in close collaboration with practitioners and fellow researchers.

Example topics I have published about include aspect-oriented programming, software testing, software architecture, web 2.0 (and Ajax in particular), reverse engineering, program comprehension, and model-driven engineering. See our group's list of past and current research projects to get an impression of the sort of work we do.

I try to keep my list of publications as up to date as possible. Have a look: most of them are downloadable, and I'd appreciate any feedback!

The fairly complete list that I maintain myself.
Our Delft bibliography server containing most of my publications from 2004 onwards
The subset of publications in key refereed journals and conference proceedings available from DBLP.
The list that scholar.google is able to find all over the web, including citations for each paper.

Teaching

I teach a course on Software Testing and Quality Engineering (IN3205) for 3d year Computer Science bachelor students. The course makes use of the book Software Testing and Analysis by Pezze and Young, Wiley, 2007. It includes labwork making use of Java, the JUnit 4 test framework, the coverage tool Emma, and the build tool ant.
Each year, approximately 20 Delft computer science students complete their MSc thesis in our Software Engineering Research Group SERG. If they're in the area of software evolution, I usually am the chair of the thesis committee. Furthermore, each year I have the pleasure of supervising some MSc students directly myself. If you're interested, have a look at our Master Projects pages.
