1. The Genetics of Adaptation and Evolvability in Yeast
Abstract : Evolution is the hereditary change in life forms that has shaped the divergence of all organisms that inhabit planet Earth. I used the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to study how adaptive evolution increases the fitness and changes the properties of experimental and natural yeast populations. READ MORE

2. Deciphering molecular mechanisms in the evolution of new functions
Abstract : The evolution of new genes and functions is considered to be a major contributor to biological diversity in organisms. Through de novo origination, “duplication and divergence”, and horizontal gene transfer, organisms can acquire new genetic material that can evolve to perform novel functions. READ MORE

3. An Open Architecture Approach for the Design and Development of Web and Mobile Software
Abstract : The rapid evolution of web and mobile technologies as well as open standards are important ingredients for developing open software applications. HTML5, affordable electronics, and connectivity costs are some of the trends that drive the web towards an open platform and lead to an increased use of distributed applications. READ MORE

4. Software Architecture Evolution through Evolvability Analysis
Abstract : In this thesis, we study evolution of software architecture and investigate ways to support this evolution. The central theme of the thesis is how to analyze software evolvability, i.e., a system’s ability to easily accommodate changes. READ MORE

5. Software Architecture Evolution and Software Evolvability
Abstract : Software is characterized by inevitable changes and increasing complexity, which in turn may lead to huge costs unless rigorously taking into account change accommodations. This is in particular true for long-lived systems. READ MORE
