State of Research Based on Essence (A Systematic Mapping Study)
Pages 19 - 25
Abstract
The state of research based on Essence is a Systematic Mapping Study. The Essence is a great revolution in the field of Software Engineering and gaining more popularity as it brings Researchers and Practitioners on common ground. The term "Common Ground" refers to the methods and practices which are common for both industry and academia. The purpose of this study is to find out what kind of research is being reported in the literature which involves Essence. Through our analysis of the study we find out the gaps and clusters using maps of Essence on SWEBOK, Research Methodologies, Lists of Areas Using Essence (Tags), Country Wise Category and, Kernel Elements using in different categories. This study will help out the researchers to get the overall view of work done in different Software Engineering areas Using Essence and which areas are still lacking. This research also helps us to find the existing problems which can be overcome in the future.
