A.3 Promotor for Doctoral Students

• From February 2006 to October 2011: Promotor of Hong Sun, doctoral programme in computer science of the University of Antwerp. A brief description of Hong Sun's research follows:

  "Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is becoming more and more popular in system development, which is due to its flexibility to integrate and organize available functionalities. A domain where such flexibility is crucial is Ambient Assisted Living (AAL), which aims to help the elderly people independently living in their homes. As well known, the proportion of elderly people keeps increasing since the end of last century, which poses great challenges to our society and calls for solutions both efficacious and cost-effective. The concept of using SOA to construct a so-called mutual assistance community to help the elderly people independently living is carried during the PhD study. SOA and AOP (aspect oriented programming) technologies are studied to organize assistive devices around the elderly people in an adaptive way, so that changes would be monitored and adaptations could be carried out in agile way. Human-services could be integrated in the service oriented computation, to produce effective services for the elderly people."

  This research won Hong Sun the "FITCE.be Young ICT Personality 2008" competition, number one winner with the work "Towards Longer, Better, and More Active Lives-Building Mutual Assisted Living Community for Elder People", and "IBM Service Innovation Student Contest 2007", number one winner with the work "The 21st Century, the best century ever", as well as an IBM Ph.D. Fellowship (2009). PhD defense defended in 2012. A copy of Dr. Sun's thesis may be found here: http://win.uantwerpen.be/~vincenz/theses.
• From May 2006 to September 2012: Promotor of Ning Gui, doctoral programme in computer science of the University of Antwerp. Ning Gui defended his doctoral thesis "Middleware-based adaptation evolution with reusable adaptation components" on September 17, 2012. A brief description of Ning Gui's research follows:

  "With recent development of mobile and pervasive computing, software applications are increasingly expected to dynamically adjust their behaviours according to the highly dynamic environments they are deployed in Applications must sense the environment changes and reacting upon those changes based on their contextual knowledge. For each new context, a new adaptation logic is required. This results in the high complexity of adaptive software development, especially for changing environments. Multiple approaches have been proposed to facilitate the development of adaptive systems. However, such works mostly focused on providing support for particular set of systems and with pre-defined quality-of-service optimization goals. Therefore, they are costly to reuse in new systems and hard to adjust to other concerns. How to streamline the engineering of adaptation with multiple and evolving combinations of concerns remains a largely unexplored topic. This work addresses this issue from two aspects: Firstly, a novel adaptive framework is proposed by extending the separation of concerns paradigm to adaptation logics design. System's global adaptation behaviour is contextually constructed with multiple reusable adaptation modules each of which embeds an adaptation strategy limited to one or more concerns. Rather than assuming these strategies to be orthogonal and thus not interfering with each other, this framework provides a systematic and customizable conflict detection policy and resolution mechanism. Secondly, a modular middleware architecture is designed to facilitate the incremental deployment of new and unforeseen adaptation modules. Software engineers are provided with the ability to add/remove/update adaptation modules during run-time. Development of adaptation modules is simplified by factoring out common adaptation mechanisms. Our approach, embodied in a adaptation framework called Transformer, provides an engineering approach to monitor a target system and its environment, detect opportunities for improvements, select a course of adaptation strategies, resolve possible conflicts and apply changes to a software architecture. Our work was compared to the state of the art from both theoretical and practical viewpoints. Design evaluation and experiment results show that our system has significant advantage over traditional approaches in light of flexibility and reusability of the adaptation modules, with little complexity and performance overhead. Moreover, our framework was applied in a practical case study - autonomous robots control. Experience gained from this case justified that both the framework design and modular middleware-based implementation add significant value to developers in designing and incorporating new adaptation logics."

• From September 2007: Promotor of Jonas Buys, Ph.D. programme in computer science of the University of Antwerp. A short description of Jonas Buys' Ph.D. follows:

  "The objective of this doctorate is to add intelligence for system autonomy to Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs), resulting in adaptive and dependable business processes that can be dynamically optimized and corrected by the system to reduce the execution time and increase the availability. A first goal is achieving self-optimizing, self-healing hybrid SOAs in which human actors operate next to conventional IT systems exposed as web services. A second goal is to overcome what we consider the biggest limitation of BPEL processes: BPEL process definitions are static. This sharply contrasts with real-world practice in which processes continuously evolve to improve operational efficiency. It is our intent to extend a BPEL orchestration engine with the capacity to dynamically modify business processes and to optimize the process model. For this purpose we shall implement economic process re-engineering guidelines by exploiting existing computer science techniques. The effect of those guidelines on the process performance will be extensively studied."

  Expected date of PhD defense: 2016.
