Seminar: Methodological Issues

in Computer and Information Science Research.

Panel discussion:
Professor Bertil Lyberg (HCS, Speech Technology),
Professor Mariam Kamkar (SAS, Software Engineering),
Professor Tomas Ohlin (ISM, Information Society and IT Democracy)
with Sture Hägglund as chair.

Thursday, December 9, 10.15 - 12.00 in IDA conference room Estraden.

This open seminar, which also concludes the graduate course on
Introduction to Methodology of Research in Computer and Information
Science, will take the form of a discussion, where the panelists start
with a position statement of about 10 minutes each. They are expected to
raise issues of importance with respect to scientific methods employed
in computer science, for instance concerning differences between
theoretical, experimental, empirical methods etc, a potential dichotomy
between science and technology, differing traditions in different
cultures, gender aspects etc. The panelists are also invited to present
a personal view of research methodology in their own field. The
presentation and discussion will be mainly in English.

Participants (especially in the graduate course) are invited to prepare
questions to the panelists. (31/10)
