| Research Interests |
| Networked Embedded Systems and Architectures Pervasive, mobile, ubiquitous and wearable computing; autonomic computing and wireless embedded systems; wireless multisensor platforms; context aware and adaptive systems; information appliances; ambient intelligence. |
| Cooperative Embedded Systems Coordination models, languages and formal methods; ad-hoc interaction; self-organization and self-management; cooperative sensing, opportunistic sensing; goal-oriented cooperative systems; -ensembles of digital artefacts, networks of things. |
| Development of Embedded Systems Software Distributed software and algorithms (specification, correctness, termination, complexity analysis), programming paradigms (OO distributed software models), component technologies/frameworks, embedded and real-time software, service oriented architectures, multiagent (software) systems. |
| Awareness, Attention, Interaction Context awareness, group/workspace awareness; peripheral displays, ambient information systems; embedded interaction, tangible interfaces; implicit interaction, activity and mobility recognition; auditory, vibrotactile and olfactory interfaces. |
| Parallel and Distributed (Interactive) Simulation Parallel/distributed discrete event simulation (generating models, experimental design, verification, validation, and confidence analysis), distributed interactive simulation, web-based simulation, agent-based simulation, OO simulation, real-time simulation, simulation-aided multiuser environments. |
