The ultimate goal of all computer science is the program. Designers, programmers and engineers must once again come to know and comprehend the composite character of a program, both as an entity and in terms of its various parts.
Welcome to the home page of Elvis, the software design research group in the School of Engineering and Computer Science at Victoria University of Wellington, NewZealand. Our work ranges from more technical research concerning the structure of software and tool support for development, to human-computer interaction and software development processes. We have experience and interests in a wide range of topics and applications in the OO paradigm, including programming languages, visualisation, design patterns, software reuse, frameworks, and agile methods, as well as in interface design and evaluation.
Elvis had their usual Christmas Party in 2009 at DavidPearce's house. It was a glorious sunny day. Many sausages, steaks, and salads were eaten, not to mention lots of wine and beer were consumed. Fun was had by all. Even Santa made a cameo appearance disguised as a cat, have a look at the photos.
