Paul Clarke

Associate Professor in the DCU School of Computing, where I am presently serving as Deputy Head of School. Former B.Sc. in Computer Science / Computer Applications Programme Board Chair.

In 2019, I was appointed Irish Head of Delegation to ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1, Sub-Committee 7: Software and Systems Engineering, where I have also acted as editor and author of international standards. I am presently serving as Director and Treasurer for the International Systems and Software Process Association (https://isspa-process.org/), and Steering Committee Chair for the International Conference on Software and Systems Processes. I am also a Scientific co-Chair, co-Editor and Board Member for the European System, Software and Service Process Improvement Conference.

Recent research highlights include Principal Investigator on the Future Software Systems Architectures project which is funded by the Disruptive Technologies and Innovation Fund (DTIF). This project, funded to €2.1M, examines the application of AI to the task of software architectural transformation, notably in the context of microservices extraction from monolith-based architectures. Other research interests include continuous software engineering, artificial intelligence, serverless computing, human aspects of software development, gamification in software development, and software process adaptive capability. Formerly, I was Research Manager for the MDevSPICE® safety critical medical device software assessment framework project.

In the early part of my career, I accumulated 13 years of industrial experience in a number of successful software development firms, including Logica (formerly Aldiscon Ltd.), the FINEOS corporation and Arantech Ltd. (later acquired by Tektronix Ltd.). During this time, I held a range of positions such as Senior Software Engineer, Software Development Manager, Engineering Manager, Programme Manager, Global Head of Support and Maintenance, and Program Control Manager.

In 2012, I completed my PhD on the topic of evolutionary mechanisms that confer competitive advantages on software development firms, this work ultimately being published in IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering (TSE), see: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7214314.

I am also actively involved in the very important activity of teaching in Dublin City University, including modules such Software Engineering Principles, Processes and Methods (a mandatory final year element for all computing undergraduate students), Building Better Software, Software Testing, Managing Projects and Change, and Object Oriented Programming.
