Research Topics
My main fields of interest are multi-scales architectures dynamically reconfigurable.
I am interested in my current research in describing a generic approach for modeling multi-scales architectures.
Our purpose is to facilitate the description and validation of dynamic software architectures.
We present a model-based design approach founded on visual notations describing, by extension of UML notations,
dynamic architectures at different description levels.
We describe a stepwise refinement process to automate the transition from
a generic model describing a given point of view of a scale
to a specific model describing this point of view in a different scale.
To ensure compatibility between different levels of description,
we adopt a rules-oriented description technique.
These rules manage the refinement from a generic scale to another and
also from a specific scale to another in the same generic scale.
We explain then the modeling of dynamic reconfiguration and we define dynamic instances with the associated reconfiguration operations in order
to describe multi-scales software architecture.
We experiment our approach by applying it to a case study modeling Emergency Response and Crisis Management Systems (ERCMS).

My final university year project is concentrated in the work from the fields of architecture software. We suggest a profile that is based primarily on version 2.0 of UML.
This profile offers a coherent and simple solution which models and treats the architecture software according to an architectural style.
Our Work involves the design and implementation of this profile as an Eclipse plug-in.
