RESEARCH

Dr Rapos' research focuses on adapting existing software engineering practices to the model-driven engineering domain. By examining existing techniques for feasibility and then applying them, it reduces the amount of new developments required, while providing confidence. This work will focus on the entire software process from requirements engineering through to continued maintenance, expanding from the previous focused on only testing.
