Research Projects:

• Work on miscellaneous aspects of software architectures, and the C2 architectural style in particular:
  • The project through which I was introduced to the software architecture field: The Chiron-2 Petri Net: A Multi-Level Block Experiment Using Chiron-1
  • Implementation of the C2 class framework, graphics binding, and prototype development environment in Java, done in cooperation with Peyman Oreizy.
  • C2SADEL (Software Architecture Description and Evolution Language). The preceding link points to an older version of the language. The full specification of the latest version can be found in my dissertation.
  • The DRADEL environment for architecture-based development and evolution.
• I have also written several papers that attempt to provide theoretical foundations to the software architecture research area:
  • A simple definition and an extensible classification and comparison framework for architecture description languages (ADLs). The paper also surveys a number of existing ADLs based on the framework.
    • Full paper.
    • Shorter version of the paper (in Proceedings of ESEC/FSE'97).
  • A study of the problem areas for which software architectures and ADLs are particularly well suited (in Proceedings of DSL'97).
    • Available in HTML and Postscript.
  • A position paper that outlines the bounds of applicability of software architectures (in Proceedings of ISAW-3).
