Nour Ali

Nour Ali is a Research Fellow at Lero-The Irish Software Engineering Research Centre, Ireland. She graduated in Computer Science from Bir-Zeit University, Palestine and holds a PhD. from the Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain. She was awarded a grant by the same university, to perform her PhD. under the Researcher training programme (FPI, in Spanish). During her PhD, she was a visiting researcher at University of Leicester, UK. Her PhD. is on specifying software architecture of distributed and mobile systems using model driven engineering techniques for generating and executing their code. She has also been a postdoc at the Politecnico di Milano, Italy. She has been an active member of several research projects focusing on software architecture such as the Microsoft Research Cambridge funded Project: "PRISMA Model Compiler of aspect-oriented component-based software architectures". She serves as reviewer for several venues and journals such as Journal of Systems and Software, Journal of Information Systems and Technology, and IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics. She has co-chaired and co-organized the IEEE International Workshop on Engineering Mobile Service Oriented Systems (EMSOS) and the IEEE Workshop on Future of Software Engineering for/in the Cloud. She is currently co-editing a special issue "The Future of Software Engineering FOR/IN the Cloud - FoSECloud", in the Journal of Systems and Software. Her research interests are software architecture, service oriented computing, distributed and mobile systems, aspect-oriented software development, model driven engineering and global software development.
