Research Topics

My research area is specifying and verifying non-functional properties in distributed systems. We are interested in two main topics:
The first topic concerns the modeling of time-aware business processes:

  • Specification and verification of temporal properties for inter-organisal business processes.
  • Specification and verification of temporal and physical properties for cyber-physical processes.
  • Verification and optimisation of cloud resources allocation in time-aware business processes.
The second topic concerns the modeling and the verification of architectural constraints:
  • Modeling at runtime dynamic distributed adaptive systems.
  • Specification and automatic checking of architecture constraints on object oriented programs.
