Abstract
You basically were emphasizing how you would take computer science people and teach them to do research in software engineering. You alluded to some of the problems of needing to know a lot about statistics and experimental design and so on. I’ve noticed the opposite problem, where a lot of research in this area is being done by people who are social scientists, who don’t have a lot of knowledge about computer science. This suggests that the right approach in many areas is to have more interdisciplinary teams of people doing this SE research.
