Theresia Saputri, a student in the doctoral course at the Graduate School's Department of Computer Engineering under Ajou University, received two awards for her papers at APRES (Asia-Pacific Requirements Engineering Symposium) 2016.


The Symposium was held in Nagoya, Japan, from November 10th to the 12th to share the latest research trends and explore the directions for development related to requirements engineering. The event was attended by researchers from around the world, including South Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia, and the U.S.
 

Theresia Saputri is working at the University's NiSE (Knowledge intensive Software Engineering) research lab. She obtained her master's degree in machine learning and activity recognition under the guidance of Professor Suk Won Lee (Department of Software).


Theresia Saputri and Professor Lee received the Best Research Paper Award and the Best Student Paper Award at the Symposium.


She won the Best Research Paper Award for a paper entitled "Ensuring Traceability in Modeling Requirements Using Ontology-based Approach."


She also received the Best Student Paper Award for another paper entitled "Incorporating Sustainability Design in Requirements Engineering Process: A Preliminary Study."


Theresia Saputri said, "The sustainable design of software is now considered one of the biggest challenges in software engineering," adding, "It is because there is no guideline that can be used to clearly analyze various aspects of sustainability – technical, social, economic, environmental, and process. In the paper, I developed and suggested a methodology that can help define them.


She went on to say, "The research findings will help requirements engineers and software developers create a system that can steadily support users while meeting numerous changing requirements."
