.::. Research Interests
My research focuses on Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) which envisions a software engineering process driven by models representing different views of the system to be constructed, and model transformations providing a (semi)automatic construction process. The adoption of a model-centric approach reduces development costs, as well as improves understanding between stakeholder. Moreover, the use of automated mechanisms for the construction of the system improves efficiency on the whole process.
In this context, my research contributes with the adoption of MDE as a software engineering paradigm, in particular with:
- the promotion of modeling as the main software development activity
- the experimentation on the use of models in heterogeneous contexts and on software construction from them, in particular within the context of Business Process Management (BPM)
- the improvement of the quality and reliability of MDE products by adopting verification strategies for models and transformations
- the establishment of formal basis for logical reasoning and automatic code generation
