Research Interests

  • Software Architecture Analysis and Design. Special emphasis on large software intensive systems, software product family architectures and embedded real-time systems. Part of the performance tools I have developed are now used in Nokia Mobile Phones business unit  to profile and improve software performance.
  • Software architecture evaluations and assessment methods:
    • Scenario based assessments.
    • Experience based assessments.
    • Quantitative approaches to evaluate software performance and memory consumption.
    • Social Networks Analysis (investigation on the organizational and social aspects of software development and its impact on the software architecture)
  • Context awareness user-centric service architectures for mobile phone users (see the paper Creating next generation applications and services for mobile devices: challenges and opportunities, the book Enabling Technologies for Mobile Services: The MobiLife Book and the blog post Nokia Kamppi trial.)
