Research Areas and Experience

Aalborg 1999 –: I am studying the overall software engineering process in order to understand the issues in developing embedded systems. A particular application area is the interface to control theory and control engineering, because it is a demanding area in which to test development methodologies for embedded systems.

IT(ID)-DTU 1984 – 1998: From May 1989 - October 1995, I participated in a ESPRIT Basic Research Action funded project ProCoS (Provably Correct Systems). My work concentrated on establishing case studies and understanding real-time issues. During a one year stay at the Programming Research Group at Oxford University (Sept. 89 - June 90), I worked on specification of time related properties. From 1992 to 1995 I was site leader for the ProCoS project. At ID-DTU I initiated work on specification methods for dependable systems, and design methodology for embedded systems.

DIKU 1976-1984: My interest was systems programming languages. My contributions were in further development of the Concurrent Pascal system.

A/S Regnecentralen: I managed the development group for systems software for a minicomputer- based special purpose system, which were sold in Northern and Central Europe (over 1000 delivered systems).
