Researcher at TSSG wins Research Frontiers Programme Award

Science Foundation Ireland has approved awards to 128 researchers in 11 research institutions across Ireland under the Research Frontiers Programme and Dr Brendan Jennings of the TSSG at WIT has been selected to receive one of these awards to the amount of €187k.

The Research Frontiers Programme supports high-quality, novel exploratory research in the third-level sector in fields embracing the Bio Sciences, Chemistry, Earth Sciences, Mathematics and Computer Science, Physics and Engineering.

This project will apply emerging model-driven software development approaches to facilitate the specification of accounting business logic models at a high level of abstraction and support automated mapping of these models to accounting system configuration code.

Outputs of this work will help accounting system vendors, many of whom have R&D bases in Ireland, improve the speed with which their products can be configured with accounting logic and provide guidelines for evolving these products to support dynamic software service composition.
