Software Engineering provides a vibrant and conducive research environment. Each research staff or research student is assigned to a research laboratory related to his/her research areas. Each laboratory is grouped under two main research themes i.e. Software Engineering and Intelligent Software. The former investigates the advanced methods, techniques, and tools in the development, testing, and maintenance a high quality software system. The latter is a multi-disciplinary research that focus on the well-engineered intelligent software systems. The laboratories are listed as follows:
- Software Engineering Research Laboratory (SERLab)
- Embedded & Real-time SE Laboratory (EReTSEL)
- Artificial Intelligence & Bioinformatics Laboratory (AIBIL)
- Intelligent Software Systems Laboratory (IntelliSys)
- Intelligent/Adaptive Hypermedia Learning System Laboratory (IHLSys)

| Abstract of research area |
AI can be defined as the science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs. It is related to the similar task of using computers to understand human intelligence. This generally involves borrowing characteristics from human intelligence, and applying them as algorithms in a computer friendly way.
A more or less flexible or efficient approach can be taken depending on the requirements established, which influences how artificial the intelligent behavior appears. AI is generally associated with Computer Science, but it has many important links with other fields such as Mathematics, Psychology, Cognition, Biology and Philosophy, among many others.
Our ability to combine knowledge from all these fields will ultimately benefit our progress in the quest of creating an intelligent artificial being.

| Abstract of research area |
Bioinformatics research has been currently the agenda of research for Malaysia. Bioinformatics can be defined as the science of informatics as applied to biological research. Informatics is the management and analysis of data using advanced computing techniques.
Bioinformatics is particularly important as an adjunct to genomics research, because of the large amount of complex data this research generates.
It involves the application of information technology to analyze and manage large data sets resulting from gene sequencing or related techniques. Researches done or currently undergoing mainly involve the creation of extensive electronic databases on genomes, protein sequences etc. Also involves techniques such as three-dimensional modelling of biomolecules and biological systems.
