Research area(s)

Dr Ali’s research interests focus on the usage of software architectural models, techniques and tools for distributed and adaptive systems. I have used different techniques and combined them with software architecture such as Model Driven Engineering, Reverse Engineering, Middleware, Optimization and Machine Learning. Currently, I am working on three main areas: 1) Micro-service software architecture 2) Autonomic architecture in the healthcare domain 3) Mobile Ambients that are self-adaptive.
