Biography

Personal webpage

I am Emeritus Professor of Software Engineering and my main research focus is Software Visualisation, Software Maintenance and Evolution, and Program Comprehension. The concern of the research is to establish how Legacy Systems evolve over time and to discover representations (visualisations) of those systems to enable better understanding of change.

I have led a number of EPSRC funded projects inclusding Release (Reconstruction of Legacy Systems), VVSRE (Visualising Software in a Virtual Reality Environment), GUSTT (Guided Slicing and Targeted Transformation), and Jigsaw (Distributed and dynamic visualisation generation). I am also involved in research in SaaS (Software as a Service) and the application of Bayesian Networks to software testing and program comprehension.
