WELCOME TO
SOFTWARE ENGINEERING INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION (SEIR)
BACKGROUND
The massive digitization and interconnection of devices will bring about a radical transformation of the world in which we live and work. We are now witnessing the start of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, or Industry 4.0, in which the physical world and the virtual world (cyberspace) is being more and more converged in the form of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). Cyber-physical systems monitor physical systems, communicate and cooperate with each other and with human beings in real time, and make decentralized intelligent decisions. Traditionally, the enabling force behind intelligence is the software that operates and controls the overall system. With Industry 4.0 the role of software, and herewith software engineering, has gained even further momentum and become a critical core competence for developing and maintaining smart interconnected systems.
The iKohza of SEIR is established to promote research on industrial revolution in software engineering field. This is to be achieved through conducting various activities involving fundamental and applied research in addition of building technical competency of students and iKohza members.
