The doctoral research abstracts. Vol:6 2014 / Institute of Graduate Studies, UiTM
Congratulations to Institute of Graduate
Studies on the continuous efforts to publish the 6th
issue of the Doctoral Research Abstracts which ranged
from the discipline of science and technology,
business and administration to social science and
humanities.
This issue captures the novelty of research from 52
PhD doctorates receiving their scrolls in the UiTM’s
81st Convocation. This convocation is very significant
especially for UiTM since we are celebrating the
success of 52 PhD graduands – the highest number
ever conferred at any one time.
To the 52 doctorates, I would like it to be known
that you have most certainly done UiTM proud by
journeying through the scholastic path with its endless
challenges and impediments, and by persevering
right till the very end.
This convocation should not be regarded as the end of
your highest scholarly achievement and contribution
to the body of knowledge but rather as the beginning
of embarking into more innovative research from
knowledge gained during this academic journey, for
the community and country.
As alumni of UiTM, we hold
you dear to our hearts. The
relationship that was once
between a student and
supervisor has now matured
into comrades, forging
and exploring together
beyond the frontier of
knowledge. We wish
you all the best in
your endeavour
and may I offer my
congratulations to
all the graduands.

Generative Artificial Intelligence for Software Engineering -- A Research Agenda
Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools have become increasingly
prevalent in software development, offering assistance to various managerial
and technical project activities. Notable examples of these tools include
OpenAIs ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, and Amazon CodeWhisperer. Although many recent
publications have explored and evaluated the application of GenAI, a
comprehensive understanding of the current development, applications,
limitations, and open challenges remains unclear to many. Particularly, we do
not have an overall picture of the current state of GenAI technology in
practical software engineering usage scenarios. We conducted a literature
review and focus groups for a duration of five months to develop a research
agenda on GenAI for Software Engineering. We identified 78 open Research
Questions (RQs) in 11 areas of Software Engineering. Our results show that it
is possible to explore the adoption of GenAI in partial automation and support
decision-making in all software development activities. While the current
literature is skewed toward software implementation, quality assurance and
software maintenance, other areas, such as requirements engineering, software
design, and software engineering education, would need further research
attention. Common considerations when implementing GenAI include industry-level
assessment, dependability and accuracy, data accessibility, transparency, and
sustainability aspects associated with the technology. GenAI is bringing
significant changes to the field of software engineering. Nevertheless, the
state of research on the topic still remains immature. We believe that this
research agenda holds significance and practical value for informing both
researchers and practitioners about current applications and guiding future
research
