Genetic improvement (GI) uses automated search to find improved versions of existing
software. We present a comprehensive survey of this nascent field of research with a focus …

This paper provides a survey of the emerging area of Large Language Models (LLMs) for
Software Engineering (SE). It also sets out open research challenges for the application of …

The term 'crowdsourcing'was initially introduced in 2006 to describe an emerging distributed
problem-solving model by online workers. Since then it has been widely studied and …

Search Based Software Testing (SBST) formulates testing as an optimisation problem, which
can be attacked using computational search techniques from the field of Search Based …

Abstract eHealth technologies have been increasingly used to foster proactive self-
management skills for patients with chronic diseases. However, it is challenging to provide …

This paper presents a survey of work on Search Based Software Engineering (SBSE) for
Software Product Lines (SPLs). We have attempted to be comprehensive, in the sense that …

Context: Software library reuse has significantly increased the productivity of software
developers, reduced time-to-market and improved software quality and reusability. However …

We introduce a mutation-based approach to automatically discover and exposedeep'(
previously unavailable) parameters that affect a program's runtime costs. These discovered …

An increasingly used method for the engineering of software systems with strict quality-of-
service (QoS) requirements involves the synthesis and verification of probabilistic models for …

Abstract Model-driven engineering (MDE) and search-based software engineering (SBSE)
are both relevant approaches to software engineering. MDE aims to raise the level of …
