As one of Canada's largest (~30 members) and most active software engineering research groups, SAIL is internationally recognized for its research work in mining software repositories and analysis of large scale software systems. Early tools and techniques developed by SAIL are already integrated in products impacting millions of users worldwide due to very active and close industrial collaborations.
SAIL is part of the School of Computing at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. The School of Computing is one of the premier computing departments in Canada with about 30 faculty members (several of them are very active in software research) and close to 150 graduate students. Kingston is Canada's first capital and is centrally located between Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal. The United Nations rates Canada as one of the best countries in the world to live.
