Figure 2. Some screenshots from the software system-Design and Development of a Software System for Swarm Intelligence Based Research Studies
<p>All of the mentioned operations can be performed easily by using the provided controls over<br> the related interfaces – windows of each algorithm. It is also important that each algorithm interface<br> is supported by visual controls to view obtained results with typical iteration-based graphics or<br> problem oriented visual elements. For instance, resulting graph structures are automatically shown<br> by the algorithm interfaces after solving some specific, popular problems like Travelling Salesman<br> Problem (TSP), Vehicle Routing Problem (VCP)…etc. Visually improved using features and<br> functions of the software system are critical aspects to provide more effective and useful platform to<br> perform SI based research studies better.<br> Related to the designed and developed software system, some screenshots from the software<br> system [interfaces of two algorithms (IWDs and ABC)] are represented in Fig. 2.</p>
Results of a research software programming and development survey at the University of Reading
<p>In 2017 an online survey of University of Reading staff active in or supporting research and registered PhD students was undertaken to assess the nature and extent of research programming and software development activities in the University, and to understand how the University might provide guidance, training and support. The survey was a administered by the Research Data Manager on behalf of the University's Research Data Management Steering Group. The survey ran from 1st November to 15th December 2017 and collected a total of 170 responses.</p> <p>The survey sought responses from anyone in the University who was involved in any of the following activities:</p> <ul> <li>writing code and using software for numerical and statistical analysis;</li> <li>creating and contributing to computational models or simulations;</li> <li>conducting Text and Data Mining (TDM) and content analysis;</li> <li>creating and contributing to software distributed as a product or implemented as a service;</li> <li>creating data visualisations;</li> <li>using markup languages to structure and render content.</li> </ul> <p>The survey was distributed using the Bristol Online Survey. A dataset of anonymised survey responses and a PDF of the survey questions are here included.</p>
Dataset of article: Investigating Developers' Perception on Success Factors for Research Software Development
<p>This dataset is an addendum to the article "Investigating Developers' Perception on Success Factors for Research Software Development" to provide information regarding the anonymously collected data.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
Role and practice of research software development at DLR
<p>The deposit contains the results of a survey concerning the role and practice of research software development at the German Aerospace Center (DLR). The survey started end of November 2018 and ended mid-February 2019. We received 773 answers which gave us interesting insights concerning developer demographics, tool usage, documentation, testing as well as software citation at DLR.</p>

Competencies Development based on Thinking-based Learning in Software Engineering: An Action-Research
<p>For a long time, the teaching of Software Engineering (SE) has been carried out in a traditional way without taking into account relevant aspects of the student’s personality reflected in their learning. There is still a lack of research focused on SE that promotes adequate teaching methods so that new generations of students and future professionals have a humanistic, critical and reflexive formation. A novel teaching method called Thinking-based Learning (TBL) was proposed to develop effective thinking in students using thinking skills, habits of the mind and the metacognition during the teaching of subject content. The action research as a methodology to improve their teaching practices in education has been seen as a positive change in educational practices. The aim of this research was to perform an action research based on TBL method to assist in the development of competencies that are less attended by traditional methods currently used during the teaching and learning process of students in SE. Moreover, a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted to identify gaps in the contribution of teaching methods in SE until the present. The data are obtained by comparing the competencies achieved with TBL with the traditional methods previously used in the discipline, and additionally with the data obtained from the SLR. The results indicated that critical thinking, autonomy, problem solving and creativity were the most developed competencies by students during the course period. We are planning to expand the TBL and applying it in other disciplines of the same course as well as in other research areas to determine its functionality and interdisciplinarity. We hope that this experience with TBL will encourage the development of competencies among SE teachers.</p>
