Research 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.
