PTaaS: Platform for Providing Tools as a Service
One of our key research threads is focused on developing a platform for providing software engineering tools as service fro supporting Globally Distributed Software Development Teams. This work as been motivated by the increasing popularity of exploiting Cloud computing for enabling organizations to build scalable software systems and to meet challenges of rapid demand of…
Architecting Product Lines for Cloud Infrastructure!
It was a privilege to convince Dr. Dirk Muthig to visit ITU, Copenhagen and share his recent work at the Lufthansa Systems’ business unit “Airline Solutions.

Tales of Migrating to Clouds
Yesterday, it was a great experience to be at MESOCA 2013 (the 7th IEEE International Symposium on the Maintenance and Evolution of Service-Oriented and Cloud-Based Systems) in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. I was there to give an invited talk and join the organising committee of the next year’s symposium. My talk (Slides here) was aimed at sharing our findings coming…
The Key Objectives and Attractions of NordiCloud 2013
Given the increasing relevance and popularity of cloud computing and lack of region specific community platforms for sharing ideas and knowledge, we founded a community platform for Nordic and Baltic countries to support collaboration in order to gain understanding of and solutions to socio-technical challenges of different aspects of cloud computing. That community platform was…
Process Support for Migrating to Clouds

Perspectives and Reflections on NordiCloud 2012
Its really great that the second gathering of the NordiCloud symposium will be held in Oslo Norway at the beginning of September (2-3 September, 2013). This platform for knowledge generating and sharing was founded last year with the key aim of promoting and supporting Cloud computing and Internet Technologies research and practice in Nordic and…
Supporting Global Software Engineering with Cloud Computing
Like many disciplines and industries, Global Software Engineering (GSE) practitioners and researchers are also exploring the potential of Cloud Computing for improving the GSD processes and practices. We have been experimentally assessing the viability of providing Tools as a Service (TaaS) to globally distributed software development teams. I have recently presented a tutorial on this…
