Professor Phalp is Associate Dean - Head of Academic Group for Computing & Informatics within the School of Design Engineering & Computing at Bournemouth University.
He is particularly interested in the early, most crucial, phases of software projects, and in how best to produce software that meets the needs of its sponsors, stakeholders and users. This involves a variety of research topics including: understanding business needs (strategic and operational), process modelling, software requirements, business and IT alignment, and software modelling.
Prof. Phalp has published extensively in these areas, has experience of process consultancy, including work with public sector bodies, both in the UK and Europe, and he has taught process modelling to undergraduate, post graduate and industrial audiences. He was Principal Investigator on the EC funded framework 6 project VIDE (total value 2.3 Million euros), rated very good, where Bournemouth led work to produce accessible models and interface, so that non-technical users could understand and be involved in requirements and specification of software, as part of a model driven development process. He has also published across a wide range of other computing disciplines, including applications of artificial intelligence, software quality assurance, software process improvement, software metrics, empirical software engineering, software methods, and web methods.
He currently leads research, funded by Bosch, to enhance object-oriented models within automotive software engineering, leads (with Jeary) work to model processes for Dorset Police, and is working on two Knowledge Transfer Partnership projects, one in methods for rich internet development and the other in software re-engineering.
He was recently, along with his co-authors Alec Banks and Jon Vincent, presented with a best paper medal by HRH the Duke of Edinburgh, for the best paper of 2008 in the Journal of Navigation.
