Research

I am currently conducting research to investigate country differences in mobile app usage behavior and the implications for software engineering. For this investigation, I am collecting mobile app usage data from more than 15 countries including USA, China, Japan, Germany, France, Brazil, UK, Italy, Russia, India, Canada, Spain, Australia, Mexico, and South Korea. The results will be used to uncover implications for research in market-driven software engineering, software product lines, and requirements elicitation. This work is funded by and conducted in collaboration with the National Institute of Informatics in Japan, in which I hold the position of a visiting professor.

I am also currently applying StakeSource, the stakeholder analysis tool that I have developed for large-scale software projects, in industrial projects and analysing their outcome. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) in Scotland is considering using StakeSource and my expertise in stakeholder analysis for their upcoming project to update their stakeholder network and database.

I am in the program committee for the prestigious International Requirements Engineering Conference.
