Within my research activities I currently elaborate on model-based techniques to analyse variant-rich model-based product lines of embedded software. To this end, I apply existing frameworks of the Eclipse framework to analyse Matlab/Simulink models with respect to different challenges. These challenges are mainly related to the complexity of such models which are caused by an increasing number of variants covered by a Simulink model and by historical growth. To manage the complexity I create logical views on Simulink models and link different software development process artefacts (i.e. implementation, requirements and tests) as well as features. Details about the research topic can be found here.
I continuously derive topics for theses from my research activities. If you are interested in a thesis please contact me via email.
