Details of her STARLab's visiting

1. In 2004, Elizabeth Chang gave a lecture on Ontology based Software Engineering for Multi-site Software Development. The talk gives research issues related to multisite software engineering, we then describe a potential approach - ontology based software development framework and methodology which serve as a foundation for multisite and multi-team interaction, communication, knowledge sharing and decision making. Ontology provide a shared knowledge and common understanding of a specific domain that can be communicated between people and application area. In this talk, we look at software engineering through ontology for multisite development.
2. From 17 Sept. 2008 till 24 Oct. 2008, Elizabeth Chang joined STARLab as a visiting professor. She gave a talk on "" in the international workshop on Web Information systems 2.0? Social, Economical, and Technological Challenges, which was hosted by VUB STARLab
