ELVIS: Software Design Research Group

_img443d7c4979249e8f71c9d1fa6f6614f4.jpg
The ultimate goal of all computer science is the program. Designers, programmers and engineers must once again come to know and comprehend the composite character of a program, both as an entity and in terms of its various parts.

Welcome to the home page of Elvis, the software design research group in the School of Engineering and Computer Science at Victoria University of Wellington, NewZealand. Our work ranges from more technical research concerning the structure of software and tool support for development, to human-computer interaction and software development processes. We have experience and interests in a wide range of topics and applications in the OO paradigm, including programming languages, visualisation, design patterns, software reuse, frameworks, and agile methods, as well as in interface design and evaluation. We currently meet on a regular basis within special interest groups for Agile Software Development, Human Computer Interaction, and Programming Languages.
