Research Interests
I'm generally interested in object-oriented systems, especially
in distributed object-oriented systems. I'm a member of the
ergoo-Group at our department,
which focuses on distributed object-oriented systems and
operating systems.
More specific research interests include:
- Distribution configuration
- I specialize in the area of distribution-configuration, that is
to configure on which node the individual objects of an application
should reside. I developed an aspect language called D2AL that enables
the programmer to specify the desired distribution based on the
UML-model of the application. This way, the programmer can take
advantage of abstract information that is only contained in the design,
such as relations between objects or abstract states. I'm currently
implementing a weaver for D2AL. The weaver uses Java as component
language and as output language. Related research-interests include
aspect-oriented programming
and object-oriented analysis and design.
- Middleware
- I'm a member of the AspectIX-Team.
AspectIX is a middleware that is well suited for many different
application areas, and that provides a generic configuration interface
for non-functional aspects. See our
AspectIX-Pages for details.
