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, and he supervised research, funded by Bosch, to enhance
object-oriented models within automotive software engineering.
He has also published across
a wide range of other computing disciplines, including applications of artificial
intelligence (where, along with his co-authors Alec Banks and
Jon Vincent, he was presented with a best paper medal by HRH
the Duke of Edinburgh), software quality assurance, software process improvement, software
metrics, empirical software engineering, software methods, and web methods. He is currently working on tailoring software tools and
methods to SMEs (having undertaken previous Knowledge Transfer projects
in these areas) and (with Bournemouth colleagues) on Systems
Engineering for Information Assurance, and is part of the Bournemouth
team welcoming the 13th IFIP Working Conference on Virtual Enterprises (PRO-VE'12) to Bournemouth in 2012.
