Professional Background

In addition to my position at the Software Engineering Institute I am on the faculty of the University of Hawaii.

My primary research interests are in software architecture, design and analysis tools, software visualization, and software engineering economics. I also have interests in human-computer interaction and information retrieval. I am the author of over 100 technical papers and co-author of several books including the books Software Architecture in Practice (2nd edition appeared in 2003) and Evaluating Software Architectures: Methods and Case Studies.

Check out the technical report on the CBAM (Cost-Benefit Analysis Method): Making Architecture Design Decisions: An Economic Approach. And here is a presentation on the CBAM.

And here is a paper, presented at ICSE 2003, that attempts to settle, once and for all, the debate about what the terms "Architecture", "Design", and "Implementation" mean, and how they are related.
