Prof. Valdemar
The GoIn-Sight member and Master's student Bruno Gabriel Araújo Lebtag, supervised by prof. Dr. Valdemar Vicente Graciano Neto, was awarded during the 19th Brazilian Symposium on Software Quality (SBQS 2020). The event is sponsored by the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC) and was conducted virtually from São Luís do Maranhão, organized by the Federal University of Maranhão (UFMA).
The paper entitled "Evaluating the Understandability and Expressiveness of Simulation Executable Models with Professionals - Obtaining perceptions from software engineering researchers and practitioners " was an academic collaboration between the Graduate Program in Computer Science (PPGCC) of the Instituto de Informática (INF) of the Federal University of Goiás (UFG) and the Federal Universities of the State of Rio de Janeiro (UNIRIO) and Maranhão (UFMA). The paper reports results of the core of the student's master's work. The investigation explored the use of executable models, in particular simulation models, by software engineering professionals in their daily practice. The use of these models is essential to prototype complex systems, such as smart cities, which have gradually become a reality.
The paper was classified among the 5 best papers of SBQS 2020 and was invited to submit an extended version to the SBC Journal of Software Engineering Research and Development (JSERD).
