PUBLICATIONS / A THEMATIC MAP
A research journey
in dialogue with problems.
Around 170 contributions across journal articles, conference proceedings, book chapters, edited volumes, reports, and teaching materials. Rather than a list, this page offers a map of themes that have evolved and intersected over time.
From the foundations of systems modelling to contemporary questions of privacy, AI, and governance.
This selection highlights different trajectories, with examples across time and disciplines. The themes intertwine rather than remaining separate: modelling, performance, and dependability methods also extend to work on cloud computing, security, and applications.
01 / MODELS, PERFORMANCE, DEPENDABILITY
Understanding system behaviour
Multi-formalism modelling and quantitative analysis are foundational strands: composable formalisms, performance evaluation, critical systems, and simulation.

02 / CLOUD, HPC, BIG DATA, IOT
Performance in distributed infrastructure
From parallel and high-performance computing to cloud services and big-data architectures, a recurring question is how to model and improve performance and scalability.

03 / PRIVACY, SECURITY, GOVERNANCE
Building safeguards into design
A more recent strand connects architecture, data lifecycles, security, and responsibility, with a focus on assessing design choices early.

04 / EXPLAINABLE AI AND APPLICATIONS
Interpreting data in the real world
Collaboration across computer science, process engineering, and environmental science brings explainable-AI methods to real data and operational problems.
