M.Sc Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium

Ph.D McGill University, Canada

Welcome to this page. I am on Leave from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Waterloo. Below you can find information about me and, the research I conduct. You can also reach me at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) at kkontog (at) softlab.ntua.gr.



Research Interests

  • Software Engineering
  • Software Analysis, Evolution & Maintenance
  • Knowledge-Based Software Engineering
  • Compiler Technology
  • Software Integration and Interoperability
  • Network-Centric Computing

My current research interests focus on the design and development of tools for software re-engineering with particular emphasis on software transformations, and legacy software migration to network-centric computing platforms. Specific topics of interest and current work include, techniques and tools for source code representation, recognition of programming patterns and idioms, system partitioning and clustering, quality preserving source code transformations, component-based software engineering, distributed objects, markup languages, and techniques for the integration of systems and services.
