The Software Maintenance and Reuse (SMR) Lab
The SMR lab at the University of Alberta is located in the Computing Science Center (CSC) room 2-59B, and is led by Dr. Sarah Nadi. At SMR, we develop automated techniques for improving software maintenance and reuse activities. Our work relies on mining software repositories to extract useful information that is used as a basis for providing decision support for developers. Our research can be summarized in the following keywords:
- Empirical Software Engineering
- Mining Software Repositories
- Software Library and API usage recommendations
- API misuses
- Highly configurable software & Software Product Lines
- Software merging
Fun facts:
-
We pronounce SMR as “summer”. Yes, the pun is intended for Edmonton’s “warm” weather… but even though Edmonton is cold in the winter, you will find our research topics exciting and our group warm and welcoming! Check out our photo gallery for pics from some of our fun group events!
