Affiliation

I'm a research scientist and project manager in the Software Engineering department at Simula Research Laboratory in Norway.

Research

My research focuses on the design and development of advanced, scalable, techniques and tools for the exploration, evolution and quality assessment of large (industrial sized) software systems. At Simula, I manage the InspectIT project that aims at developing methods and infrastructure for (semi-)automatic model-based software inspection.

Concrete research topics include:

• assessing and improving the cost-effectiveness of automated software inspections, this builds upon our work on static program analysis & (static) profiling techniques to support software inspection;
• source-based and model-based techniques for software verification and validation;
• reconstruction of models from existing software artifacts;
  
• mining software repositories to find and monitor software engineering characteristics (qualities);
  
• identification of crosscutting concerns in source code (a.k.a.  aspect mining), both for the purpose of improving program comprehension and to support evolution of those systems;
  
• methods and techniques to reverse engineer and visualize (architectural) views on existing software systems to improve their understanding.
  

An overview of our results in these areas can be found in my publications overview.

My Schedule

Below is a view on my calendar that should be more or less in sync with my real schedule (please remember that it's all done via software though :-) )
