6. Slide 6 Presentation University of Oslo, ISERN, Hawaii, 8-10 Oct. 2000 Plans So far: Mostly industrial case studies and student experiments Future: Industrial Software Engineering Experiment Laboratory Opportunity: Together with NTNU (Conradi), we will form a research group (1 of 3) at a new Center of Excellence at the old Oslo airport. We plan to build a lab with appropriate apparatus for observing/logging persons/teams who carry out experiments or real work
