CREST's approach to Software Engineering places search--based optimisation at its heart. The CREST philosophy is that software engineering can be thought of as a search for good quality solutions within a potentially enormous search space, while balancing many different competing, sometimes conflicting, objectives. We believe that this philosophy is important in all engineering disciplines, but it is in Software Engineering where it finds its greatest potential. The materials and artifacts used in software engineering are very different; they are pure processes and information, essentially without physical manifestation. This makes the search--based optimisation agenda particularly apposite and offers the significant advantage of automation. The work supported by this platform proposal will develop, extend and disseminate this agenda of Automated Optimisation in Software Engineering.

Crest的软件工程方法将基于搜索的优化置于核心。波峰的理念是，可以将软件工程视为在潜在巨大的搜索空间中寻找优质解决方案的搜索，同时平衡许多不同的竞争，有时是矛盾的目标。我们认为，这种理念在所有工程学科中都很重要，但是在软件工程中，它具有最大的潜力。软件工程中使用的材料和工件截然不同。它们是纯粹的过程和信息，本质上没有物理表现。这使得基于搜索的优化议程特别适合，并提供了自动化的重要优势。该平台建议支持的工作将开发，扩展和传播软件工程中自动优化的议程。
