A Systematic Mapping Study of Search-Based Software Engineering for Enterprise Application Integration

Abstract

Search-Based Software Engineering (SBSE) is widely used in different fields of Software Engineering, notoriously, in Enterprise Application Integrations (EAIs). EAI encompasses methodologies, techniques and tools that a software engineer can use to create integration solutions. SBSE is currently an active research topic of increasing interest. The number and diversity of publications produced yearly are large to the extent that it is hard to identify the active research groups, their locations, techniques used and research topics that have not received enough attention. To answer these questions categorically, we have conducted systematic mapping study of the literature. In this paper, we report our methodology and findings. In our study, we used systematic search strategies that resulted in the retrieval of 560 articles, of which we first selected 25. Second, on the basis of the authors’ experience, we included eight additional articles. Finally, we used a snowballing sample technique to include another 12 articles. The results demonstrate that during the last two decades (1999–2020) EAI has benefited from the use of Search-Based Software Engineering techniques.

Digital Business Student Development for Entrepreneurs with Software

“…The findings from the learning log data show that all learning categories have a moderate to a good degree of learning. In addition, in most learning areas, not a single student stated that he had not learned something [30]. surprisingly, students in technology and business study the most in "concept formulation and business development."…”
