                Assistant professor in the Faculty of Economics and Management of Sfax - Tunisia

My PhD research focuses on developing of non functional safety properties for distributed applications. Such properties are not directly related to the functionality provided by the application.  Providing capabilities for the specification of various types of non-functional properties early in the development process and their automated enforcement are major challenges for software systems.

I proposed a new approach called SEVEN-Pro for specifying and enforcing non functional properties. I combined aspect oriented programming and formal methods for developing such properties in reliable and modular way for different types of distributed applications (centralized and decentralized applications, Web services composition, ....). As example of such properties, I am interesting in software architecture invariants, security policies, temporal properties.

I am also interested in modeling and developing non functional properties (e.g. Quality of service) in architectural level (e.g. UML, AADL).
