SMRG

METU Software Management Research Group (SMRG) was founded to target specialized software management domain knowledge. The group targets to disseminate the domain knowledge on principles, processes, methods and techniques required to manage the development and evolution of software systems, to lead the advancement of software practice in Turkey, and to bring forth experts and scientists in the field. Our research is directed mainly towards the following areas:

  • Software Estimation
  • Software Measurement
  • Software Project Management
  • Software Process Improvement
  • Business Process Management
  • Ontology 

Most of the research is conducted together with Software Management Program, METU; our industrial partner Bilgi Group Ltd. and other close industrial contacts by using empirical method. For additional and detailed information please visit SMRG main page.
