Externally funded projects

Socio-technical resilience in software development (STRIDE)
RoleStart dateEnd dateFunding source
Co-investigator01 Jul 202030 Jun 2024EPSRC Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council

The project will investigate resilience and automation in the socio-technical system that supports software development, which includes people , technical infrastructure, processes and artefacts . Recognising that users are developers and developers are users in different contexts, we’d like to investigate two communities that represent different points along that dimension: commercial software development community and professional end user development community.
