Research Interests

Software Architecture, Service Oriented Architecture, Web-Services

I am primarily interested in problems around Software Architecture and applying principled formal approaches for the design of software systems. I have been working in the domain of Service Oriented Architectures and web-services for the last few years and have had a considerable experience building large systems and solving problems in the domain.

My current research interests slice across the following areas:

• SOA orchestration for the end users - where end users would be multiple stakeholders ranging from service integrators, application users etc

• Deployment concerns for SOA - this is something on which I have really struggled a lot in recent years. Missing libraries, inappropriate paths, multitude of compatibility issues, etc all of which make the lives of developers really quite painful. I am interested in providing a possible solution for this problem.

• Role of frameworks - Most SOAs use a large number of frameworks, but there exists limited architectural support to evaluate them or model or analyze them architecturally and this is something which really makes them interesting to me.
