Research Description

My current research interests include fault tolerance (at all stages of software development), software development methods, modeling, aspect-orientation and computer games.

My main interest is in the integration of fault tolerance into the software engineering process: identify the need for fault tolerance and finding the places where it is needed during the requirements engineering phase, specifying what faults should be addressed and what degree of fault tolerance must be achieved at the analysis phase, choosing appropriate software architectures to support fault tolerance, structuring the execution of an application with well-known fault tolerance models (forward and backward error recovery, structured exception handling) during the design phases, mapping those models to fault tolerant middleware or services, and providing support for fault tolerance to programmers in form of reusable, easy to use and safe infrastructures (e.g. objects/ packages / libraries / templates / frameworks / aspects).

I am currently also investigating the impact of aspect-orientation on software engineering. Aspect-orientation is a new upcoming (programming) paradigm that offers advanced possibilities of modularization and separation. My current main focus is on aspect-oriented modeling and on using aspects to design elegant and safe interfaces to fault tolerance libraries for programmers.

Finally, I started working on the development of a massively multiplayer on-line game called Mammoth. The ultimate goal is to experiment how different game architectures affect fault tolerance in such an application.
