Welcome! My name is Eric Dashofy. I am a computer scientist
with a background in
software architecture
and software engineering. I currently work as a Senior Member of the
Technical Staff at
The Aerospace Corporation,
a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC)
in El Segundo, CA. I have a Ph.D. in Computer Science
from The Donald Bren School
of Information and Computer Sciences at the
University of California, Irvine,
where I worked under Professor
Richard N. Taylor.
I am currently writing a textbook called Software Architecture: Foundations, Theory, and Practice with Professors Richard N. Taylor (UCI) and Nenad Medvidovic (USC). It's nearly complete and should be released in Q4 2008 by John Wiley and Sons, Inc.
Although my primary work is in software architecture, I occasionally dabble in other areas. I am particularly interested in intellectual property law, specifically as it relates to software. I consulted for Plaintiff's counsel in Amado v. Microsoft, a software patent infringement case. At work, I also do research in the areas of high performance computing and wireless sensor networks.
