Dr. Jessie Dedecker

My current research topic is about collaborative ambient-oriented programming abstractions. This involves abstractions for expressive coordination of groups of ambient objects. In this context I am also investigating replication strategies suitable for disconnected operation.

Dr. Wolfgang De Meuter
Elisa Gonzalez Boix

Homepage

My area of interest is memory management for distributed systems. More specifically, my research is focused on how to reconcile distributed garbage collection (DGC) with the characteristics of mobile ad hoc networks. I am currently investigating a novel family of DGC called semi-automatic garbage collection and the required language constructs.

My research consists of investigating how applications can respond to dynamic changes in their environment. In particular, I have studied the changes that give rise to (non-functional) exceptions. I am currently investigating how an ambient-oriented exception handling mechanism interacts with various other topics that are studied in the group including advanced referencing abstractions, transactional support and context-awareness.

Jorge Vallejos

Homepage

The focus of my research is to investigate the context-awareness property in the field of Ambient Intelligence. My particular interest is to explore the ways in which the computational context surrounding mobile applications, may influence their behaviour. For further information about my work please visit the Context-Dependent Behaviour Adaptations section of this site.

Tom Van Cutsem

My research interests lie both in the adaptation and application of meta-level architectures and reflection to the AmOP paradigm and in the uncovering of new language abstractions for the paradigm. More specifically, I am currently investigating ambient references, which are a set of object-oriented service discovery abstractions.

Apart from AmOP, my general research interests include dynamic object-oriented programming languages (reuse/composition/object models) and reflection.
