Graduated in Software Engineering major from Iran University of Science and Technology , I’m currently perusing my dreams by doing Masters Of Science in the School of Interactive Arts and Technology at Simon Fraser University.

This is my official website and is going to be updated with my latest news (projects and publications) and past news (I am willing to add my previously done projects and written articles to this website as well.)

Selecting an appropriate rules-based engine requires balancing many different, and often, not well-understood properties such as business rules representation methods, rule history and life cycle management, and interoperability with external data sources.

The Handbook of Research on Emerging Rule-Based Languages and Technologies: Open Solutions and Approaches provides a comprehensive collection of state-of-the-art advancements in rule languages, containing methodologies for building rule-based applications, rule interoperability and interchange, and rule-based applications. Developers of rule-based languages and technologies as well as users of these applications will find this Handbook of Research to be a significant resource within the field.

Presented a poster in I2Lor conference which was held in Montreal from 4th to 7th of November. The title of presentation was “Leveraging business process and rule modeling for developing learning design-based systems” and was done in cooperation with Melody Siadaty, Milan Milanovic, Dr. Dragan Gasevic and Dr. Marek Hatala.

The pdf version of the poster can be found here.

The service-oriented architecture (SOA) approach offers many promises for the development of high-quality Health Information Systems (HISs) that utilize information such as Electronic Health Records (EHRs) from different parties. However, extreme privacy preservation requirements and the variety of deployment systems make development of HISs particularly challenging. To support HIS developers, we propose effective mechanisms and tools to become part of the development process. We use model-driven engineering to switch the focus of the developers from technologies used for implementing SOA to domain specific concepts of the HISs under study. Our approach relies on a modeling framework based on Web rules, which allows us to represent business processes and policies of service-oriented HISs in a unified rule framework. The framework supports development of tools for a formal analysis of existing services and their policies by using rule-based reasoning engines (e.g., HP’s Jena). The tools that we are developing can identify inconsistencies between Web services from different parties, propose solutions for mismatched policies, and verify security and privacy requirements of service-oriented HISs.
