David Garlan is a professor of computer science at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), noted for his contributions to software architecture.[6][2] He co-authored two widely used books in the field, Software Architecture: Perspectives on an Emerging Discipline (1996) with Mary Shaw and Documenting Software Architectures: Views and Beyond (2nd ed., 2010/2011).[7][8]
Education and career
[edit]Garlan earned a B.A. from Amherst College in 1971, a B.A./M.A. (Oxon.) in mathematics from the University of Oxford in 1973, and a Ph.D. in computer science from Carnegie Mellon University in 1987.[6] He is a long-time member of CMU's School of Computer Science and has held roles affiliated with the Software Engineering Institute (SEI).[6]
Research and publications
[edit]Garlan's research centers on the theory and practice of software architecture, including formal representation and analysis and architecture-based adaptation.[6]
In 1995, with Robert Allen and John Ockerbloom, he co-authored Architectural Mismatch: Why Reuse Is So Hard in IEEE Software, which introduced the influential term architectural mismatch to describe mismatched assumptions in software component reuse.[9]
In 2004, with Shang-Wen Cheng, An-Cheng Huang, Bradley Schmerl, and Peter Steenkiste, he co-authored Rainbow: Architecture-Based Self-Adaptation with Reusable Infrastructure in IEEE Computer, which presented the Rainbow framework a reusable infrastructure for self-adaptive systems that demonstrated how software could monitor and adapt itself at runtime.[10]
