ABSTRACT
This paper presents a vision of how the Internet of Things will impact the study of software engineering by 2025 and beyond. The following questions guide this inquiry. What will it mean to be able to deploy hundreds of sensors and data collectors running concurrently over months to gather very large and rich datasets of the physical, digital, and social aspects of software engineering organizations and the products and services those organizations create? How might such datasets change the types of research questions that can be addressed? What sort of tools will be needed to allow interdisciplinary communities of researchers to collaboratively analyse such datasets? How might such datasets help us understand the principles governing the interplay of physical, cyber, and social aspects of software engineering and its products, and automate aspects of such systems?

Using ethnographic methods in software engineering research
ICSE '10: Proceedings of the 32nd ACM/IEEE International Conference on Software Engineering - Volume 2This tutorial provides an overview of the role of ethnography in Software Engineering research. It describes the use of ethnographic methods as a means to provide an in-depth understanding of the socio-technological realities surrounding everyday ...
Thing Ethnography: Doing Design Research with Non-Humans
DIS '16: Proceedings of the 2016 ACM Conference on Designing Interactive SystemsDrawing from a study of everyday home practices from a material objects' perspective, this paper examines the potential that a thing ethnography holds for both design and anthropology. In doing so, the paper challenges anthropocentric assumptions about ...
On challenges in engineering IoT software systems
SBES '18: Proceedings of the XXXII Brazilian Symposium on Software EngineeringContemporary software systems, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Industry 4.0, and Smart Cities are new technology paradigms that offer challenges for their construction since they are calling into question our traditional form of developing ...
