Research Projects 

• IMPaCT-Data - Programa de Ciencia de Datos de la Infraestructura de Medicina de Precisión asociada a la Ciencia y la Tecnología (2021 - 2023, Coordination team, Researcher). A National Project (Exp. IMP/00019) funded by the Carlos III Health Institute and co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER). IMPaCT-Data is the IMPaCT program that seeks to support the development of a common, interoperable and integrated system for the collection and analysis of clinical and molecular data, providing this with the knowledge and resources available in the Spanish Science and Technology System. This development will allow answers to research questions based on the different clinical and molecular information systems available. Fundamentally, it aims to ensure that researchers have a population perspective based on individual data.

• HealthyCloud - Health Research & Innovation Cloud (2021 - 2023, Researcher, Task leader). An European Project (H2020, Program SOCIETAL CHALLENGES - Health, demographic change and well-being, Contract Nr. 965345). The design of a health research and innovation cloud (HRIC) data portal that is FAIR – findable, accessible, interoperable and re-usable – and respects legal and ethical requirements is one of the key goals of the EU. Contributing to this field, the EU-funded HealthyCloud project will deliver a strategic agenda including a ready-to-implement roadmap for the HRIC ecosystem. The project will use two real-world use cases in cancer and atrial fibrillation, and its work will lead to an ecosystem proposal that builds and strengthens the patients' and citizens' trust in using their health data for research.

• EOSC-Synergy - European Open Science Cloud - Expanding Capacities by building Capabilities (2019-2022, Researcher).  An European Project (H2020; Topic Support to the EOSC Governance, Contract Nr. 857647) coordinated in the IBERGRID framework. The project builds on the expertise of leading research organizations, infrastructure providers, NRENs and user communities from Spain, Portugal, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Netherlands, United Kingdom and France, all already committed to the EOSC vision. EOSC-synergy complements on-going activities in EOSC-related projects liaising national bodies and infrastructures with other upcoming governance, data and national coordination projects.

• VISDOM - Visual software diagnostics (2019-2022, Researcher). An European Project (ITEA3, Project Nr. 17038; C-11420) that will will develop new types of visualisations that utilise and merge data from several data sources in modern DevOps development. The aim is to provide simple “health check” visualisations about the state of the development process, software and use.

• GENESIS - Generación y Evolución de Smart APls (2016-2020, Researcher). An National Project (TIN2016-79269-R) that will follow a tool-supported data-driven approach to improve the automation of the above process. In a release cycle, data coming from both APIs' usage and developers will be gathered and analysed in order to compute several indicators whose analysis will guide the planning of the next release of such APIs. This data will be also used to generate complete and accurate documentation, including non-functional requirements that will facilitate the adoption of the APIs by third parties. APIs will be organized in a semantic repository with well-defined processes around.

• Q-Rapids - Quality Aware Rapid Software Development (2016-2019, Work Package Leader). An European Project (H2020, Topic Advanced Software Engineering, Contract Nr. 732253, E-01372) addressing how quality requirements can be integrated into a rapid software development process in order to significantly increase the productivity of the development team and shorten time to market of software products and services whilst ensuring appropriate levels of quality. Partners: UPC, University of Oulu (Finland), FRAUNHOFER IESE (Germany), BITTIUM (Finland), ITTI (Poland), NOKIA (Finland), SOFTEAM (France)

• EOSSAC -  Engineering Open Source Services and Apps for the Citizens (2014-2016, Researcher). An National Project (TIN2013-44641-P) that consist on proposing models, methods, processes, techniques and tools in the Software Engineering discipline to enable the engineering of high-quality open source software services and apps for the citizen.

• RISCOSS- Managing Risk and Cost in Open Source Software Projects (2012-2015, Work Package Leader and UPC Representative). An European Project (FP7, Call 8 - Obj. 1.2; Contract Nr. 318249) risk identification and risk management, mitigation tools and methods for community-based and industry-supported Open Source Software (OSS) development. It will also provide a decision-making management platform to assist OSS adoption decisions into organisations and strategies. Understanding, managing and mitigating OSS adoption risks is crucial in terms of time to market, customer satisfaction and brand image. Partners: UPC, Foundazione Bruno Kessler, Unversiteit Masstricht, CENATIC (Spain), Ericsson Telecomunicazioni (Italy), KPA (Israel), OW2 (France), XWiki SAS (France)

• Pros-Req - Requirement-based production of service-oriented software (2011-2013, Researcher - PhD. student). A National founded project (TIN2010-19130-C02-00) with Centro de Investigación en Métodos de Producción de Software of the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, Valencia, Spain.

• ADOxx - Definition of the i* format by using the metamodel compiler ADOxx v1.0 (2010-2011, Researcher - PhD. student). A National founded collaboration (Acciones Integradas programme, AT2009-001) with The Department of Knowlegde Engineering (DKE) of the Universität Wien, Vienna, Austria.

• MSDS - Requirements Engineering in Multi-Stakeholder Distributed Systems (2006-2007, Researcher - PhD. student). A National founded collaboration (Acciones Integradas programme, HU2005-0021) with The Institute for Systems Engineering and Automation Johannes Kepler Universität (JKU), Linz, Austria.
