Dr. Hole researches the role of architectures and architectural information in product and system development and Experiential learning of SE principles through games and simulation.
He is Director of the Systems & Enterprises Architecting Laboratory (SEAL) which supports research initiatives in several ways. It provides a collaborative, computational and application infrastructure that would not be feasible/affordable to make available on individual desktops.
Secondly it provides an environment for explicit research on (tool supported) systems engineering methods and processes. Especially interesting in the context of this laboratory is “e-Systems Engineering” and virtual collaboration. This could be dedicated research projects as well as well as “piggy back” research using student projects and industry collaborations. |
