Research

My research area is software engineering in general, and system evolution in particular. My interests include reverse engineering & program comprehension, system redocumentation, information (software) visualization, technology assessment, and Web site evolution.

FAU/Motorola One Pass to Production (OPP) Project

Research Assistant Position (Start Immediately)

We are currently seeking a graduate student or a senior undergraduate student to work as a research assistant for a collaborative project between Florida Atlantic University and Motorola. This project is focused on increasing software development productivity through the reuse of design artifacts by software product lines. In particular, we will develop a method for identifying commonality and managing variability in core design assets (such as software architecture) among the systems an organization develops and maintains. With this goal, developers can quickly implement specific solutions to realize design in code for a particular product in a product line.

This project is part of the larger One Pass to Production (OPP) initiative and will start immediately and will last at least one year.

You should have a reasonable understanding of the software architecture design and UML. Knowledge of software system integration techniques and a variety of programming languages and modeling languages, such as UML, MOF, XML, and XMI would be an asset. You must have strong analytical and communication skills, the ability to work independently (with little day-to-day guidance), and produce publishable results. 

If you are interested, please contact Dr. Shihong Huang (shihong@cse.fau.edu).
