Software and System Engineering 

Research objectives:

The central objective is the development and application of software engineering technologies for software and information systems - combining classical software engineering and knowledge engineering techniques with domain-specific solutions - specifically for Web and Internet-based systems. This ranges from foundational frameworks for Web-based software development to domains-specific software development techniques and methods. 

 

Research areas:

  • Service Architecture Modelling and Evolution: ontology-based architectural description languages to support architecture modelling; graph-based architecture transformation systems; patterns in architecture transformation and evolution; quality and property preservation.
  • Dynamic SOA Models and Monitoring: dynamic context-dependent architectural composition, service models at runtime; context ontology for runtime SOA modelling and composition; constraints monitoring; context and constraints for multi-tenancy SOA and SOA governance.
  • Business Process and Service Architecture Integration: layered architectural framework for business process and architecture configuration; IT-architecture alignment; graph-based pattern modelling in business processes; pattern identification and discovery techniques.
  • Ontology-based Information Systems Change and Evolution: ontology evolution; change and evolution patterns; operational support for semantic information systems evolution; change impact analysis.
  • Mediation and Integration in Service-based Cloud Computing: data integration for on-demand architectures; ontology-based service mediation for on-demand service systems; multi-tenancy SOA and policy-based governance.

 

Current Research Projects:

  • CASCAR Context-determined Autonomic Service Composition and ARchitecture

  • SARINE Service ARchitecture INtegration and Evolution

  • OISE Ontology-based Information Systems Evolution (Digital Content Management)

  • MDA4BPSOI Model-Driven Architecture for Business Process and Service Architecture Integration
