Doctoral Dissertation

During my doctoral research, I investigated the concept of Software Resilience in the domain of Software Engineering and more specifically in the Open Source Software realm. The research is reflected in a Resilience Framework for Open Source Software Assessment, published by Wiley to the Journal of Software: Evolution & Processes.

Master’s Thesis

This Master Thesis aims in a detailed recording of the reuse process of the open source software components available online . Initially, a review of the research area is being conducted. A series of case studies follows in order for the efficiency of code reuse as a part of the general software development process to be justified. The aforementioned knowledge is being organized to a semi-automated process model for open source software reuse and a web platform that will implement the functionality of this model is being proposed, in terms of design.

The research of this master’s thesis led to a publication entitled «A semi-automated process model for Open Source code reuse» which was presented to the workshop «Emerging Trends in FLOSS Research and Development» during the International Conference on Software Engineeging 2010 (ICSE 2010).
