Liliana Pasquale presented a tool demo on “SecuriTAS: a Tool for Engineering Adaptive Security” at FSE 2012 - the ACM 20th International Symposium on the Foundations of Software
Engineering, held in Cary, North Carolina, USA, 11-16 November 2012. The demonstration was accompanied by a short paper describing the demo, by Liliana Pasquale, Claudio Menghi, Mazeiar Salehie, Luca Cavallaro, Inah Omoronyia and Bashar Nuseibeh
Dr Ita Richardson travelled to FBK, Trento, Italy to a meeting of EU FESTA (Female Empowerment in Science & Technology Academia). Ita is an investigator on the UL team which has received funding
through the Science & Society call. The project started in March 2012 and will last 5 five years
Lero, NUI Galway are pleased to announce cloud computing firm, SourceDogg, as an official industry partner on the ALPS and OPS projects. SourceDogg was established in 2009 and
is based in Kent, Guildford, Galway and Dublin. The company provide tools that enable users to find and evaluate new suppliers, cope with tender responses and implement best practice procurement processes. SourceDogg has won numerous software, business and procurement awards for their innovative product, and exports to public and private sector clients across 5 countries
On Tuesday 30th October, Paul Clarke of DCU presented at the International Conference on Software Quality in Indianapolis, USA (http://www.asq-icsq.org/). Paul’s presentation, which was based
on aspects of his PhD thesis for which Dr. Rory O’Connor was supervisor, addressed the topic of software process adaptation/evolution in software companies - and how adaptation might be related with business success. The conference attendees were drawn from both academic and industrial
settings, and positive feedback was received on the content and utility of the concepts presented. Paul has a soft copy of some of the
presentations - if you see anything that may be of interest to you then please contact Paul directly at pclarke@

Goodbye to Lero
Hello to Lero
Sonke Schmidt who had been visiting Lero @ UL has returned home to Germany. This month Dr Nour Ali left Lero @ UL to take up a position as Senior Lecturer in the University of Brighton. Nour had been with Lero for over four years and she will be missed. We wish them every success in the future.
Mel Ó Cinnéide and Iman Hemati Moghadam, both from Lero@ UCD, were winners of the best paper award at ESEM 2012. Following on from their success at CSMR’2012 they won a further award at the 6th International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement for their paper entitled “Experimental Assessment of Software Metrics Using Automated Refactoring”, co-authored with Laurence Tratt (King’s College London), Mark Harman (University College London) and Steve Counsell (Brunel University)
Well done to Anne Meade and Michael Dever for representing Lero at the Thesis in 3 competition held in Smock Alley on Thursday October 25th. 18 PhD researchers from 9 SFI funded CSETs presented their research in the Thesis in 3 format, 3 slides in 3 minutes. Principal Investigators from the 9 CSETs presented an overview of the CSETs. Thanks to Brian Fitzgerald for presenting an overview of Lero in the Thesis in 3 format. Deirdre Cogan from CLARITY won first prize.
