Vincent Englebert is a Professor at the University of Namur's Faculty of Computer Science, where he is affiliated with the Research Center on Information Systems Engineering (PReCISE) and the Namur Digital Institute (NADI). His office is located in the IT Building at Rue Grandgagnage, 21 in Namur, Belgium. He teaches courses including Organisational and Business Modelling, Software Architecture Engineering, and Software Engineering Laboratory for the 2023-2026 academic period.
- Bachelor and Master in Computer Science (University of Namur)
- Doctor of Science in Computer Science (2000), thesis: 'A smart Meta-CASE: towards an integrated solution'
Englebert's research focuses on Domain-Specific Modeling Language (DSML) Engineering, Modeling & Meta-modeling, and Software Architecture Engineering, with additional interest in Computers and Aging applications. His work spans theoretical foundations of modeling languages to practical applications in business processes and aging populations. The fingerprint of his research shows strong emphasis on design (100%), engineering (78%), computer codes (70%), Reverse Engineering (63%), architecture (60%), tools (56%), modeling (55%), and transformations (50%).
His recent publications (2020-2024) demonstrate continued productivity in model-driven engineering, with particular focus on software product lines, feature modeling, and applications for aging populations. These works show a clear trajectory from theoretical modeling foundations to practical implementations and societal applications.
