Current Research

I am a Research associate working on the European Commission Framework 6 IST Project,

"Contract based Systems Engineering Methods forVerifiable Cross-Organisational Networked Business Application"

Some of my current work on the project include

  • Leading the work on designing and developing runtime monitoring mechanisms for Contracts in Web services using a symbolic approach.

  • Designing and developing specifications for contract verification mechanisms/tools with specific emphasis on their application to Web services, using symbolic model checking.

Important: Plagiarism notice

This is to let everyone know, that work from my PhD thesis and from my papers on
compositionality in Web services has been plagiarised word-to-word 80% by

for a paper they had submitted to an IEEE conference: Second International Conference on
Internet and Web Applications and Services (ICIW'07).

The plagiarised paper : "Applying Formal Methods to Compositionality Description of Web Service"

They have not even bothered to change the figures, text etc and have infact done a print screen. I can confidently say that the paper is 80% plagiarised from my thesis and papers. It is very easy for me to prove this. Just to also let you know that they have not bothered to reference any of my papers or thesis in this copied work

I have written to these two plagiarisers, some PC members of the conference and also the IPR office of IEEE and I am now waiting for justice to be done.

PhD (De Montfort University, UK, 2005): A Compositional Framework for the Specification, Verification and Runtime Validation of Reactive Web Services

Abstract

In this thesis, we propose an architecture based on a ``Compositional'' approach, for the specification,
verification and runtime validation of reactive services and their composition. We present a sound computational model and a wide spectrum language, Abstract Service Design Language (ASDL), with well defined semantics in terms of our underlying logical framework, for designing service oriented systems. Fundamental to our approach is the notion of Compositionality. To achieve this, we augment Web service specifications with properties called
assumption and commitment. We show how runtime validation of service composition can be achieved using an interpreter
for, Tempura, an executable subset of Interval Temporal Logic (ITL). Finally we present ``TeSCO-S'': (Te)mporal
(S)emanti(C)s for (O)WL enabled (S)ervices, a framework along with tool support for enriching
Web service interface specifications, described as OWL ontologies with the temporal assertions of assumption and
commitment.
