PhD Thesis

The title of my PhD thesis was "Model-Driven User Adapted Systems and Applications" (June 2005). And studied the concept of Self-Designing Software. Here I try to summarize the main ideas, leaving to the various publications for more details.
As regards Self-Designing Software, the subject of my PhD dissertation, you can see the UM 2005 presentation or an extended paper (a draft version) of a chapter part of an academic book. It was also presented at OOPSLA 2005.

Here is a brief introduction to the ideas behind my work.
