Research activity

The main areas of the reserach activity of Gianna Reggio are
  • Software development methods
  • Formal specification and modelling of concurrent systems
  • Semantics of programming languages
In particular she has developed
  • specification methods for concurrent systems based on the use of formal techniques,
  • visual notations derived from formal specifications,
  • formal techniques supporting the use of Java,
  • techiniques for making "precise" UML
  • and a "precise" software development method based on UML.
Recently, she is developing variants of the precise UML method specialized for particular classes of software systems, where each class is defined by means of a Jackson's "Problem Frame", and developing new problem frames to cover distributed and Web-based systems ("Problem Frame Oriented Software Development").
