About Ceaser

During the Fall 2000, in collaboration with local industry and the CSSE department, Professor Panos Linos initiated the establishment of the Center for Applied Software Engineering Research (CeASER.) at Butler University.

Motivation

First, it is essential that software engineering research be validated on industrial applications. Secondly, it becomes evident that software engineering students can benefit greatly from participating in software engineering research projects and apply their results in an industrial environment. Thirdly, it is implicit that industry can also benefit from having access to first-rate software engineering students as well as interacting with faculty experts.
