Research Topics: Software Engineering; Domain Engineering; Software Safety in Reuse.

In Progress Thesis: Contracts for Safety, 2009. By nature, compositional software reuse takes a software component out of its intended environment and plugs it into a foreign environment. This change in context can often end in catastrophe as seen in the Therac-25 and Arian 5 accidents. To make transitions in environments safer, I propose that a complete specification be defined for the reuse component using a Design by Contract paradigm. By developing a complete set of specifications and using a design by contract wrapper to enforce these specifications, a user can easily identify the concept and context of a reuse component mitigating any risk of its use in a foreign environment, increasing the software safety of the component.
