Writing a book with a lot of practical examples requires a lot of extra time,
which is often taken from family and friends. I dedicate this book to my family
– Alexander, Cornelia, Viktoria, and Sylwia – who always supported and
encouraged me, and to my parents and parents-in-law, who shaped me to be
who I am.
– Miroslaw Staron

About the author


Miroslaw Staron is a professor of Applied IT at the University of Gothenburg in
Sweden with a focus on empirical software engineering, measurement, and
machine learning. He is currently editor-in-chief of Information and Software
Technology and co-editor of the regular Practitioner’s Digest column of IEEE
Software. He has authored books on automotive software architectures, software
measurement, and action research. He also leads several projects in AI for
software engineering and leads an AI and digitalization theme at Software Center.
He has written over 200 journal and conference articles.

I would like to thank my family for their support in writing this book. I would also
like to thank my colleagues from the Software Center program who provided me
with the ability to develop my ideas and knowledge in this area – in particular,
Wilhelm Meding, Jan Bosch, Ola Söder, Gert Frost, Martin Kitchen, Niels Jørgen
Strøm, and several other colleagues. One person who really ignited my interest in
this area is of course Mirosław “Mirek” Ochodek, to whom I am extremely grateful.
I would also like to thank the funders of my research, who supported my studies
throughout the years. I would like to thank my Ph.D. students, who challenged me
and encouraged me to always dig deeper into the topics. I’m also very grateful to
the reviewers of this book – Hongyi Zhang and Sushant K. Pandey, who provided
invaluable comments and feedback for the book. Finally, I would like to extend my
gratitude to my publishing team – Hemangi Lotlikar, Sushma Reddy, and Anant
Jaint – this book would not have materialized without you!
