Description |
Marian Petre of the Computing Department has received a Royal Society Wolfson Research
Merit Award. The award covers a 5 year period and provides funds to support Marian
in her research programme.<br/><br/>Prof. Petre is interested in expertise in software
design. Her interdisciplinary research draws on cognitive theory and qualitative research
methods to explicate expert engineering design behaviour and reasoning. Her research
is grounded in empirical studies of actual professional practice in industry.<br/><br/>Her
research has analyzed how expert software designers behave and reason when solving
design problems. It is distinctive in its examination of a variety of examples, contexts,
and aspects of expertise in order to abstract common underlying properties and strategies.
Those strategies distinguish software design from some other forms of expertise. They
not only extend our understanding of the nature of such expertise and so inform theory,
but they also inform requirements for design tools and pedagogy. The research has
investigated software design from a number of different perspectives, including: cognitive
dimensions of notations, programming paradigms, graphical and textual notations, software
visualisation, disciplines of innovation, and how designers learn effective strategies.<br/><br/>Marian
Petre is a Professor of Computing at the Open University and Director of the Centre
for Research in Computing. |
