Research
My general areas of interest include object-oriented
software engineering, database systems, and information technology.
My research focuses mainly on managing the evolution of
object-oriented systems. This work
comprises a theoretical framework and practical algorithms for the
design, maintenance, and optimization of object-oriented
systems. Topics include automatic learning of class organizations from
object examples, optimization of class organizations, and automatic
maintenance of structural and behavioral consistency in evolving
systems.
I am currently leading the development of a visual programming
environment for object-oriented languages with built-in support for
maintenance and reuse.
I am also interested in information technology. My investigations in
this area are mainly concerned with integrating information from
heterogeneous sources. I am particularly interested in data mediation
to resolve semantic differences between data sources.
