Street-Corner Research: An Experimental Approach to the Juvenile Delinquent

This short book describes and evaluates a most interesting and stimulating piece of ?rk in what is now a much-investigated field. Set up in the shop front of a former ?tor-car sales-room, the laboratory invited the collaboration of delinquents in a ?ject to extend understanding, and paid them for the work they did. The boys toeref?re enjoyed the status of experimental subject or research assist...

The Corner: an Innovation in Research in Minnesota

When David Epston asked us to write this piece, he described it as a chance to share emerging ideas that may not be fully formed but that fill us with enthusiasm and excitement. He described it as ideas that make you want to run down the hallway shouting, to share with colleagues who are eager to discuss them with you (Epston, 2010). In this tradition, we are very excited to announce, as we met...

Guest editor's corner research directions in formal methods technology transfer

Welcome to the Special Issue of Journal of Systems and Software (JSS) on Formal Methods Technology Transfer. It is certainly an honor for me to present this special issue to the software engineering community and the JSS readership. Formal methods represent one of the most innovative research areas that can significantly contribute to an engineering discipline for software systems. The existenc...

The opinion corner Whatmakes good research in software engineering?

Physics, biology, and medicine have wellrefined public explanations of their research processes. Even in simplified form, these provide guidance about what counts as “good research” both inside and outside the field. Software engineering has not yet explicitly identified and explained either our research processes or the ways we recognize excellent work. Science and engineering research fields ...
