论文摘要
有关软件工程研究（SE）研究的实际影响的现有工作研究了工业相关性，而不是采用研究结果，因此，实际应用结果如何开放的问题。为了回答这一点并调查了有影响力的研究的结果，我们对1975 - 2017年间在四个领先的SE场所发表的1,690份文章进行了定量和定性分析，以4,354 se专利的作用。此外，我们对475名著名著作和授予出版物的作者进行了一项调查，达到了26％的回复率。总体而言，研究人员为从业人员提供了各种工具，过程和方法，并改善了许多现有产品。 SE实践重视寻求知识的研究，并受到不同跨学科的SE领域的影响。面向从业者的出版物场所似乎比以研究人员为导向的出版物更具影响力，而与行业相关的曲目可能会增强其影响。由于资金资源有限或拟议解决方案的不利成本效益权衡，一些研究工作并没有达到广泛的占地面积。可以通过一项专门的实证研究来证实对更高SE研究资金的需求。通常，对影响的评估符合其定义。因此，学术界和行业可以共同同意正式描述，为后续研究为该主题提供共同点。
Existing work on the practical impact of software engineering (SE) research examines industrial relevance rather than adoption of study results, hence the question of how results have been practically applied remains open. To answer this and investigate the outcomes of impactful research, we performed a quantitative and qualitative analysis of 4,354 SE patents citing 1,690 SE papers published in four leading SE venues between 1975-2017. Moreover, we conducted a survey on 475 authors of 593 top-cited and awarded publications, achieving 26% response rate. Overall, researchers have equipped practitioners with various tools, processes, and methods, and improved many existing products. SE practice values knowledge-seeking research and is impacted by diverse cross-disciplinary SE areas. Practitioner-oriented publication venues appear more impactful than researcher-oriented ones, while industry-related tracks in conferences could enhance their impact. Some research works did not reach a wide footprint due to limited funding resources or unfavorable cost-benefit trade-off of the proposed solutions. The need for higher SE research funding could be corroborated through a dedicated empirical study. In general, the assessment of impact is subject to its definition. Therefore, academia and industry could jointly agree on a formal description to set a common ground for subsequent research on the topic.
