Balbir Barn is a Professor of Software Engineering at Middlesex University, UK. Balbir has over 15 years commercial research experience working in research labs at Texas Instruments and Sterling Software, where he was involved in the research and design of leading software products such as the IEF™. Balbir’s research is focused on model driven software engineering where the goal is to use models as abstractions and execution environments to support enterprise architecture and application integration using complex events. He has led numerous externally funded projects which apply model driven principles to business processes, learning theories, and more recently, the theory building aspects to model driven engineering.
