Juergen Rilling

Dr. Juergen Rilling is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering at Concordia University. His research focuses on global software analytics, software traceability, knowledge modeling, and security vulnerabilities, with a strong emphasis on semantic web technologies. He leads projects in software evolution, mining software repositories, and integrating crowd-based data into development practices. His work bridges software engineering theory with practical tools like SeClone and SeByte, enhancing code analysis, dependency management, and security practices.

Research interests include semantic modeling for security advisories, feature location via crowd-based screencasts, and API trustworthiness assessment. He has contributed to frameworks like SE-EQUAM for software quality metamodeling and Sv-AF for vulnerability analysis. His recent work explores machine learning applications in software ecosystems and developer behavior analysis through platforms like Stack Overflow.

Publications span over two decades, with a focus on scalable clone detection, ontological approaches for traceability recovery, and integrating financial pattern analysis for software quality prediction. His tools and methodologies are applied in open-source ecosystems and industrial software maintenance contexts.
