"When nothing seems to help, I go look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before." - Jacob Riis, the words posted on the San Antonio Spurs locker room wall.

About me

I am a PhD student in the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Science at the University of California, Irvine. My advisor is Richard Taylor. I received the M.Phil. degree in Department of Computing from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and the B.Eng. degree in Computer Science and Technology from Tsinghua University.

Research

My research interest includes architecture-to-implementation mapping, software architecture, and adaptive middleware. I am currently working on a survey of model-based software development.

Publications

I'm working hard to have my first publication at UC Irvine. Here are some selected papers published before I came to UC Irvine:

• Yongjie Zheng, Alvin T.S. Chan, "MobiGATE: A Mobile Computing Middleware for the Active Deployment of Transport Services", IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering,  Jan 2006, vol. 32, no. 1, pp 35-50.
• Yongjie Zheng, Alvin T.S. Chan, Grace Ngai "Applying Coordination for Service Adaptation in a Mobile Computing Environment", IEEE Internet Computing, Sep/Oct 2006, pp. 61-67, vol. 10, no. 5, IEEE.
• Yongjie Zheng, Yang Wang, Hanjian Fu, and Drew Schechter, "IBM CrossWorlds Collaborations as a Web Service", IBM WebSphere Developer Technical Journal, Aug 2002.

Classes

• Informatics 211: Software Engineering
• Informatics 213: Formal Specification and Modeling
• Informatics 231: Human-Computer Interaction
• Informatics 221: Software Architecture
• Informatics 215: Software Analysis and Testing

Hobbies

I like all kinds of sports, but I do have some favorites:

• Soccer: I don't play quite often since I came to America, and I really miss the days playing soccer with my friends at Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong.
• Tennis: My dream is to defeat my brother someday, but he is becoming more and more strong now.
• NBA: Where Boston Celtics and San Antonio Spurs happens !
