Abstract

and an IEEE Senior Member. Her research interests include engineering education, contextmanagement, cyber physical systems, context-aware analytics, self-adaptive and self-managing systems, and runtime software evolution. She conducted her PhD at University of Victoria, between September 2009 and February 2013. In November 2011 she received the IBM Canada CAS Research Project of the Year 2011 for the application of context-awareness and self-adaptation to the improvement of on-line shopping systems. Over the last ten years she have co-authored an important number of scientific papers on software engineering, co-chaired several international workshops and conferences, and served in an important number of program committees for international conferences such as the International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE) and the International Conference on Software Maintenance and Evolution (ICSME). She is the leader of the continuous improvement and accreditation processes for the Software Systems Engineering bachelor program of Universidad Icesi in Colombia. Mrs. Stephanie Celis Gallego, Universidad Icesi She has a degree in mathematics from Universidad Santiago de Cali, a master's degree in mathematics education from Universidad del Valle and she is a specialist in university teaching at Icesi University. She has worked as a teaching coach for the public sector and advisor of pedagogical projects led by Universidad del Valle and the National Ministry of Education, with more than ten years of experience as a high school teacher at Colegio Bolivar. Her contributions in research in mathematics education, have focused mainly on the levels of difficulty associated with learning of school algebra, she has also led initiatives that contribute to inclusive curricular designs, based on the use of skills.
