This project is to explore methods, models and tools to explore new concepts of UI design.

Sustainability in the context of software engineering and software product line engineering.

Capturing, sharing, and reusing architectural knowledge, models for software architecture knowledge, facilitating context information, building a software architecture knowledge-base.

Models, methods and tools for software architecture management and utilization, extracting high-level architecture models directly from the code, support for manual and automatic architecture analysis, synchronization with enterprise information repositories

Integration of variability management with software architecture models and tools.

Concepts and tools for enterprise information system architectures, especially for presentation-level Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) and for versioning and governance of enterprise information systems based on Service-Oriented Software Architecture (SOA).

Highly adaptable distributed system architectures through combining component-based and agent-based software architectures. Native code management, versioning, and generic component UIs. Facilitated for remote supervision of process control systems.

CBSE as the next step after object-oriented programming. Component concepts, models, component-based software architectures, and technologies.

Frameworks for object-based inter-process communication (IPC), pluggable protocols, application configuration and management, framework and tools for monitoring of distributed systems, application for distributed process control and cooperative software development.
