معرفی
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Asta Slotkienė is an Associate Professor and Researcher at the Cybersocial Systems Engineering Group, Institute of Mathematics and Informatics, Vilnius University, Lithuania. She has been a faculty member since at least 2009 and is based at Akademijos St. 4, Vilnius.
Education
- PhD in Computer Science Engineering, Kaunas University of Technology (2009)
- MSc in Computer Science Engineering, Kaunas University of Technology (2004)
- BSc in Physics and Computer Science, Šiauliai University (2002)
Research Interests
Dr. Slotkienė’s research spans software quality assurance, development process improvement, e-learning systems, and cognitive decision-making. She investigates how rigorous evaluation methodologies and AI techniques can enhance the reliability and usability of software products and services. Her recent work explores the intersection of large language models and automated software testing, as well as the modeling of web service quality using fuzzy logic and ontology-based approaches.
Research Trends
Across her latest publications, a clear trend emerges toward leveraging AI and machine learning, particularly large language models, to automate and improve software testing practices. Simultaneously, she continues to deepen the theoretical foundations of software and service quality modeling, integrating fuzzy logic, ontology engineering, and bibliometric analyses to build robust frameworks for quality evaluation.
