Department of Computer Engineering — Amirkabir University of Technology (Tehran Polytechnic)
Intelligent Software Engineering Laboratory¶
Automating software engineering tasks — from design and development through to the final product — with artificial intelligence, compilers, and domain-specific languages. The outcome: lower costs and more productive software teams.
The Intelligent Software Engineering Research Laboratory (ISERL) at Amirkabir University of Technology (Tehran Polytechnic) advances the measurement and improvement of software process quality, software artifact quality, software testing, reverse engineering, and software evolution. Its work is organised across three areas: research, industry, and education.
-
Research
Three active groups covering testing and debugging, design and architecture, and software methodology.
-
Industry
Consultancy engineering services and software products for industry and public organisations.
-
Education
Specialised courses, plus checklists for BSc projects, MSc theses, and PhD dissertations.
Research activities¶
Research focuses on program testing and debugging, software analysis, internal and external software quality assessment, reverse engineering and refactoring, and software methodologies. The laboratory hosts three active research groups:
- Software Testing and Quality Assurance Group
- Software Evolution and Refactoring Group
- Requirements Engineering and Software Engineering Methodologies Group
Industrial activities¶
Consultancy engineering services cover:
- Automated software testing
- Software security and intelligent antivirus systems
- Reverse engineering and intelligent program analysis
- Automatic program refactoring
- Automating software development and deployment processes
Educational activities¶
Specialised courses are offered in software testing and quality assurance, secure software design and development, compiler and transpiler engineering, intelligent and automated software engineering, and clean architecture and coding.
Mission¶
Towards high-quality software systems and a better development experience with Compiler 2.0 and Software 2.0.
Vision¶
To be a national leader in software engineering research and education, recognised for AUT's contributions to innovative solutions that transform the software industry.
Objectives¶
- Innovative research — pioneering, world-class research producing new methodologies, tools, and technologies for complex software engineering problems.
- Education and training — high-quality programmes that prepare the next generation of software engineers.
- Collaboration — strong partnerships with industry, academia, and government to drive practical application and innovation.
