Research Profile - Dr. Jonathan Maletic
Dr. Jonathan I. Maletic received the Ph.D. and M.S. in Computer Science from Wayne State University in 1995 and 1989 respectively. He received the B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Michigan-Flint in 1985. Previously, Dr. Maletic was a faculty member at the University of Memphis and a software consultant to Ford Motor Company and the Arizona Department of Transportation. His research program focuses on the construction of methods, tools, and environments that assist in the process of software development and engineering. Topics of investigation include program understanding, software component clustering, identification of reusable components, and software visualization. Information retrieval methods are being utilized to extract semantic information from source code and associated documentation. Cognitive models of the software development process are being investigated to examine the relationship between program design methodologies in software engineering and cognitive problem solving paradigms. Software metrics and how they relate to the software comprehension process are being studied. Virtual reality environments are being investigated for the visualization of large-scale software systems. Home Page
