Qt Research/Academic/Journal Papers/Articles

Question

I'm trying to find any research/academic/journal papers/articles that analyze recent versions of Qt and Qt Creator.

Specifically, I'm trying to evaluate Qt from a real-time safety critical perspective, so any information is helpful.

P.S. I've tried the typical search approach: Google scholar, IEEE Explore, ACM Digital Libray, etc. Maybe I'm not using the right search terms, but nothing useful is turning up when I search for the following: "Software safety Qt GUI" or any permutation of that.

Thanks again for any helpful insights.

Very good question. One I've also failed to find any existing research on! – Exhibitive

Answer 1

To get the best info on Qt for research, contact Qt's leadership directly especially the public marketing contacts from the most recent Qt real-time announcement:

• Jessica Miller
  Wind River
  [email protected]

• Katherine Barrios
  Digia / Qt Commercial
  [email protected]

These three people may be helpful too - you'll need to figure out their contact info.

• David Stone, Qt Communications Manager.

• Aron Kozak, Web and Community group.

• Hanne Linaae, Qt Education manager.

You can post your request in the Qt developer network forums.

Good suggestion. I posted to the forum (qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/15952) and sent and email to the folks you recommended contacting. Currently I'm awaiting a reply. Unfortunately, the lack of responsiveness leads me to assume that no research has been performed to investigate the appropriate use of QT in RT Safety Critical environments. That is unfortunate. – Silvertongued
