“In the Future, Everyone Will Be a Programmer for 15 Minutes” – Felienne Hermans

Nine rising stars in software engineering shared their perspectives on the future of software engineering at the Leaders of Tomorrow Symposium at the 23rd IEEE International Conference on Software Analysis, Evolution, and Reengineering. Here they describe how software engineering research will evolve, highlighting emerging opportunities and groundbreaking solutions. They predict the rise of end-user programming, the monitoring of developers through neuroimaging and biometrics sensors, analysis of data from unstructured documents, the mining of mobile marketplaces, and changes to how we create and release software.
