Ongoing and Open Research Projects, Collaborations

It is my conviction that software composition integrates the following areas of software engineering: aspect-oriented development, architecture languages, view-based development, generative programming, and intensional programming.

Hence, I work for software composition and software integration. In more detail, my research areas are

Also look at the Research Center for Integrational Software Engineering (RISE) which I chair.
I work in the following projects:

The Swedish SSF project RISE
Second Generation Application Provisioning (2GAP), a Vinnova project
Semantic Web for Production (SWEBPROD), a Vinnova project
5th Framework project High Integrity Object-Oriented Real-Time Systems (HIDOORS) www.hidoors.org
Semantic Descriptions of XML in the XWizard project (a CENIIT project of Linköping University) [short description]
The software composition system COMPOST (short description) (COMPOST main page) COMPOST is a meta-program library for composition of Java programs.
The optimizer generator OPTIMIX (short description) (main page) Version 2.5 with Java support!

And you find everyting in more detail here (Ongoing and Open Research Projects, Collaborations)

Publications

Research Results and Finished Projects

In my research, I have contributed to the development of the following systems and projects.

The EU FET project EASYCOMP (short description) www.easycomp.org You can find its final report here.
The EU project JOSES (Java and CoSy for Embeddead Systems)
The EU project AJACS (Applying Java to Automotive Systems), www.ajacs.org
The scalable compilation model CoSy (home page at ACE), in the EU project COMPARE (1990-95)
A parallelizer for Modula-2, PRISMA. This parallelizer contained a heap analysis according to Chase/Wegman/Zadeck 1990, and successfully parallelized loops over lists in Modula-2.
Optimix, the graph rewrite tool for C and Java, on sourceforge optimix.sourceforge.net

Conferences, Workshops, and Commitees

I have been on the following commitees of scientific conferences

GPCE 2004
SCOPES2004
CD 2004 (attached to ICSE)
CSBE7-2004
ECOOP04
AOSD2003

CC 2003
CD 2002 (attached to PLDI 2002 in Berlin).
CC 2002 (ETAPS 2002)
CC 2001at ETAPS 2001

I have been co-organizing some workshops and/or conferences:

MDAFA 2004
SC2004
"Software Composition" 2003 at ETAPS
Software Composition (SC) 2002
Dagstuhl Seminaire 00451, Nov 6-10, 2000, Protocol Page Version 1.0
JOSES Workshop at ETAPS 2001

I am member of the IFIP Working Group 2.4.

Industry Seminars

March 9, 2004, London: I talk to the British Computer Society on "Invasive Software Composition".
"Software from Components" See The DIA Academy (www.dia-bonn.de).
Upcoming: in Germany, Heidelberg, February 2003
Passed:

Karlsruhe, Mai 2003

Mainz, Oct 2002.

Apr 18, 19 2002 in Heidelberg.

Mainz, Nov 19/20 2001.

Industrial Consultancy

Consulting projects fascinating me usually require a cross of some of these topics:

Software Engineering: requirements, risk management, specification, architecture, design, object-orientation, aspect orientation
Component technology and composition technology
Framework technology (whitebox, blackbox, layered frameworks)
Design patterns
Software architecture: distributed systems, frameworks and architectures
XML, OWL, Semantic Web
Compilers: How to build compilers, compiler tools
Program analysis and optimization (how to make a simple optimizer simple?)

PhD Courses

CUGS Software Engineering 2002, 2003 This PhD course is offered in the CUGS Phd school and presents modern oo concepts (contracts, conformance, feature logic, concept analysis), and modern software composition concepts (classical component systems, architecture systems, aspect-oriented development, invasive software composition).
Feb-May 02, seminar Semantic Web
Sept/Oct 2002: Design Patterns This was a PhD course on patterns (design, analysis, process).
April/May 01; Composing Software From Components (official page): A summary of modern software component systems, architecture systems, aspect systems, composition systems
Operating Systems (TDDB68),what a fun!

March-May 01 TDDB68

How to Find My Office

My room is in B-house, B3.460.

From the station

From the station, you take bus 202 to Universitet, and descend at Valfahrten, the second stop in the university.
Then, you can see in about 500m a house, on which you see big letters "Zenit".
Our B house is left of it, the big red building.
You pass between B-house and Zenit, turn left, and enter entrance 27.
One staicase up, left floor, that's our floor. Anders lives directly in the room next to me.

From the airport

The best is to take a taxi. Bodil Carlsson, our secretary, can book you a special price ticket.

By car

From E4, leave at Linköping-East direction Vimmerby and Universitet
Enter the middle entrance of the university, drive straigt-on to the big parking lot.
Then, you can see in about 500m a house, on which you see big letters "Zenit".
Our B house is left of it, the big red building.
You pass between B-house and Zenit, turn left, and enter entrance 27.
One staicase up, left floor, that's our floor. Anders lives directly in the room next to me.
