Research Topics
My research focuses on modeling and developing non functional properties (e.g. security, availability, etc.) in architectural level and essentially in AADL (Architecture Analysis & Design Language) using AOP (Aspect Oriented Programming) which is a programming paradigm that provides modularity and reuse and readability. I am working on the generation of aspect code from abstract aspect annexes integrated in an architectural model for real time embedded systems. This allows the separation of concerns in such systems and also to ensure a smooth integration of the non functional propoerties.
This research axe described above can be extended to join the research thematics Models@Runtime. This relatively recent thematics investigates ways to model the execution state of distributed real time embedded systems. Any change on the execution state of a system have to be reflected on its model. Reversely, any change or alteration on a model will cause a corresponding alteration on the execution state of the system.
