Research Results and Finished Projects

In my research, I have contributed to the development of the following systems and projects.

National Projects

• BMBF SuReal (Secure Real-Time Systems)
• BMBF FeasiPLe (Feature modeling in Product Lines)
• B2PDE with ComArch, financed by Sächsische Aufbaubank (SAB)
  
• Semantic Web for Production (SWEBPROD), a Swedish project financed by Vinnova
• Semantic Descriptions of XML in the XWizard project (a CENIIT project of Linköping University) 
• The Swedish project RISE, financed by SSF
• Second Generation Application Provisioning (2GAP), a Vinnova project 2GAP

European Projects

• EU 7^th Framework project MOST (Marrying Ontologies and Software Engineering)
• EU 6^th Framework project MODELPLEX (Model-driven development of complex systems)
  
• EU 6^th Framework Network of Excellence REWERSE www.rewerse.net
• EU 4th Framework FET project EASYCOMP (short description)  www.easycomp.org You can find its final report here.
• EU 5th Framework project High Integrity Object-Oriented Real-Time Systems (HIDOORS) www.hidoors.org
• EU 4th Framework project JOSES (Java and CoSy for Embedded Systems), for some extensions of the CoSy system
• EU 5th Framework project AJACS (Applying Java to Automotive Systems), www.ajacs.org

• The compiler component framework CoSy (home page at ACE), in the EU project COMPARE (1990-95)

Products

• Reuseware The grammar- and metamodel-controlled universal composition environment for invasive software composition (fragment composition) (Jendrik Johannes). several subprojects are available:
• OWLWare: role-based composition of OWL ontologies
• XcerptWare: role-based composition of Xcerpt queries
• UMLWare: fragment composition of UML class and activity diagrams
  
• COMPOST The software composition system COMPOST (short description)  COMPOST is a meta-program library for composition of Java programs.
• DEFT, the development environment for tutorials (Andreas Bartho).
• OSPP, the open service process plattform (Sebastian Richly), won the IEEE service computing contest last summer. OSPP is a platform for adaptive (semi-ad-hoc) workflows on the web. It offers a base level workflow, which has many variants, and a meta-level, which can switch base level workflow variants. Several mechanisms for switching can be used, and current work is on how to use certain forms of AO. Future versions of OSPP will use this.
