Research

Dr. Frank Maurer is the head of the Agile Software Engineering (ase) group at the University of Calgary. His research interests are

• agile software methodologies
• engineering digital table applications
• executable acceptance test driven development
• integrating agile methods and interaction design
• framework and API usability
• tools for agile teams, specifically for globally distributed software development
• experience and knowledge management

More information about his research can be found at the web site of the Agile Software Engineering research group. Currently, the group focuses on empirical investigations of agile techniques as well as on tool development for agile software teams. Recent publications are available at the group's web library web library.

The ebe Group closely collaborates with industrial and acedemic partners to ensure the business relevance of the research.

He is a member of the Agile Alliance, a Certified Scrum Master, a founding member of the Canadian Agile Network (CAN) - Le Réseau Agile Canadien (RAC), part of the organizers of the Calgary Agile Methods Users Group and Asscoiate Editor of IEEE Software responsible for the Process and Practices area.

Beside working on research and development, I'm interested in arts, specifically: photography. See Uninspired Design for more.

News

In September 2009, I will become a TRLabs Scientist.

After finishing my term as Acting Head of the Computer Science department, I'm now on a sabbatical. This allows me to refocus on research.

XP 2009 was held in Pula, Italy. The proceedings are now available from Springer.

The acm sigchi symposium on engineering interactive computing systems was held at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, USA, on July 14-17. My keynote titled "Agile Methods and Interaction Design — Friend or Foe?" ran on July 17.
