Seminars
In February 2019, the Software Institute started its SI Seminar Series. Every Thursday afternoon, a researcher of the Institute will publicly give a short talk on a software engineering argument of her choice. Examples include, but are not limited to, novel interesting papers, seminal papers, personal research overview, discussion of preliminary research ideas, tutorials, and small experiments.
On our YouTube playlist you can watch some of the past seminars. Below you can find more details on the next seminar, the upcoming seminars, and an archive of the past speakers.
Everyone is welcome to attend the seminars organized by the Software Institute.
Next Speaker: Carmen Armenti
During my previous SI seminar two years ago, I presented an overview of the existing literature on sonification. Since then, we laid the groundwork for software sonification: a technique that uses sound to facilitate program comprehension. In this talk, I will share the progress we’ve made since then, the challenges we’ve encountered, and our future direction in software sonification research.
Carmen Armenti is a Ph.D. student in the REVEAL (Reverse Engineering, Visualization, Evolution Analysis Lab) research group at the Software Institute, USI, Lugano, supervised by Prof. Dr. Michele Lanza. In October 2022, Carmen received her double Master’s degree in Software Systems Security from Università degli Studi del Molise, Italy, and Software and Data Engineering from Università della Svizzera italiana, Switzerland. Her current research focuses on enhancing program comprehension by integrating aural representation with visualization techniques.
