About my research

Research interests

My research interest lies primarily on Information Systems (ISs) development. Within that area, I mainly focus on Business Process Modelling and Requirements Engineering approaches. Most of my work is related to the model-driven development paradigm (metamodelling, model transformations, notation design, etc.).

My PhD thesis (find it here) integrates two IS development methods:

  • On the one hand, Communication Analysis is a communication-oriented approach. It undertakes the analysis of ISs by focusing of communicative interactions, then design and implementation follow this perspective. Communication Analysis allows to tackle complex ISs.
  • On the other hand, the OO-Method is an object-oriented approach. It provides a conceptual modelling framework that allows the automatic generation of fully-functional software applications.

Communication Analysis offers expressive modelling techniques, useful reasoning tools and a neat structure for requirements specifications. Therefore it is a suitable approach for the requirements elicitation stage of the integrated method.

The OO-Method proposes to model the computerised IS from a platform-independent viewpoint and it offers powerful model-to-code transformations. Therefore it is a suitable approach for the design and implementation stages of the integrated method.

We have developed a prototype tool that allows creating Communication Analysis requirements models and and automatically transform them into UML 2.0 Class Diagrams. We have used Eclipse (EMF+GMF) and ATL Transformation Language.

About my teaching

Current courses

Model-driven development

    We have offered several tutorials and keynotes that focus on a full model-driven development method, starting with a communication-oriented requirements engineering and business process modelling stage, following with an object-oriented conceptual modelling stage, and ending up with automatic multi-platform code generation.  
    • CAiSE 2012 (web), tutorial, along with Óscar Pastor (see slides).
    • RCIS 2012 (web),  tutorial, along with Arturo González (see slides).
    • CLEI 2012 (web), tutorial, along with Marcela Ruiz.
    • CIIS 2012 (web), keynote (see slides).
    • In December 2012 I also gave this talk twice in Chile
  • I am preparing some e-learning material; more information to come.
