Abstract

In this talk I will present the concept of "automated software engineering", why it is a crucial area in improving the practice of software engineering, and some recent research work done by myself and colleagues in this area. The later will include work on software meta-tools, performance engineering via test-bed generation, automated component discovery, integration and validation, and software architecture design support required to enable these solutions. I will briefly discuss the concept of "model driven architectures" and how this is seen as one possible solution to improving automation in software engineering.
