Software Engineering Research

I am interested in the design and the implementation issues of the enterprise architecture to provide an environment for decision support and data mining activities. I am trying to formulate some software metrics or productivity measures for the architecture design. The traditional measure for a piece of software includes lines-of-code, function-point counting, and various metrics derived from lines-of-code and function-points. For an enterprise architecture with distributed software and databases that are interconnected with middle-ware, metrics for such environment is a multi-variable formula of function-points and quantified measures of operational procedures, communications, and meta data management.

Currently I am working on the various software engineering issues in the data-warehousing environment and the parallel development environment in collaboration with Dr. Cheong Youn, Department of Information and Communication, Chungnam National University, Taejon, South Korea.

Book Contract: A contract has been signed with Tsinghua University Press, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, to write a computer science textbook entitled: "Software Engineering: Traditional and Object-Oriented Approaches." I am co-authoring with Dr. Thomas J. Marlowe in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Seton Hall University, South Orange, New Jersey, USA, on this software engineering book.
