BTH researchers Emilia Mendes and Claes Wohlin received the Best paper award at the Euromicro Conference Series on Software Engineering and Advanced Applications (SEAA). The paper “Search Strategy to Update Systematic Literature Rewiews” by BTH researchers Emilia Mendes and Claes Wohlin and co-authors Marcos Kalinowski and Katia Romero Felizardo from Brazil, received the Best paper award for SEAA 2019. SEAA has six tracks, and the paper was published in the “Systematic Literature Reviews and Mapping Studies” track. These types of studies have become an important research method in software engineering in the recent decade, according to SEAA. – Our paper was judged to present the best research quality over all the papers that were accepted for SEAA2019. It’s a huge honour for us to receive this award, Emilia Mendes says. The SEAA conference is an international forum for researchers, practitioners, and students to present and discuss the latest innovations, trends, experiences, and concerns in the field of Software Engineering and […]

Nail Ibragimov, professor emeritus of mathematics, is honored for his outstanding efforts in mathematics. An education room has been named after him and for two days an international workshop in modern group analysis and applications has been carried out in his memory. Nail Ibragimov (1939–2018) is widely regarded as one of the world’s foremost experts in the field of symmetry analysis of differential equations. He initiated and condu­cted major developments in this area. Nail was passion­ate and enthusiastic about disseminating knowledge about Lie group analysis of differential equations and its use in mathematical modelling. Nail Ibragimov also published a textbook that is unique in its way of teaching differential equations for students. The textbook is translated into several languages and is used all over the world. Nail Ibragimov was educated at Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and Novosibirsk University. He was a professor of mathematics at BTH during the years 200-0­2011, professor emeritus 2012­-2018 and director of ALGA 2004-­2018.
