Current Research Focus
My research interests lie in the area of software engineering for large-scale distributed software
systems. Currently, my research focus is in the area of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID).
In particular, we are investigating novel computational roles that this technology can play in the emerging Internet of Things.
Other work has included: 1) dynamic reconfiguration and
2) software architecture, particularly as it related to control integration. Both of these research topics
focus on software as viewed at the level of configuration (i.e. programming-in-the-large). In addition, I
have worked on various other topics, including visualization software for teaching compiler theory and
in application-level protocols for Distributed Interaction Simulations (DIS). The underlying theme of
my work is the study of techniques and tools for reasoning about and automating complex processes.
