Summary

My main field of research is Software Engineering, with a special interest in Reengineering and in Object-Oriented Development. Due to historical reasons, I maintain a heavy interest in Hypermedia, although I don't do any active research in that area anymore. Here's a list of research topics I am working on.

• Reengineering Patterns
• Reverse Engineering (program understanding)
• Software Evolution (mining software repositories)
• Refactoring
• Code Duplication (clone detection)
• Metrics
• Reengineering Repositories
• Object-Oriented Frameworks

You might also check out the web-site of my research group http://www.lore.ua.ac.be/Research/. There is also a handy research report (in PDF) about our achievements for the period 2000 - 2008.
