Research Bio
Dr. Alomari’s research focuses on developing and constructing methods for lightweight static program analysis. The objective is to develop new analysis methods that are highly scalable for application on very large software systems. Obviously, there will be a trade-off of reduced accuracy. Therefore, much of his work deals with understanding the influence of scalability on accuracy and how this impacts the conclusions that can be drawn from the results.
Dr. Alomari has made significant intellectual contributions to the software analysis discipline especially with regard to the software slicing and its application areas that include a number of experiments and empirical investigations previously too costly to undertake, including a slicing-based estimation for software maintenance effort, a slicing-based code clone detection, a slicing-based semantic software changes, and software slicing visualization. Dr. Alomari authored anumber of the IEEE and ACM refereed publications.
Dr. Alomari has taught for a number of institutions: Miami University, Kent State University, Jerash University, and Jordan University of Science and Technology.
