    James Hill is currently a 4th year Computer Science Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science and Electical Engineering at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. At Vanderbilt University, he is advised by Dr. Aniruddha Gokhale and Dr. Douglas C. Schmidt. James received his Master's of Science in Computer Science from Vanderbilt University in May 2006, and his Bachelor's of Science in Computer Science from Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA in May 2004.

    James' primary area is research is using model-driven engineering tools, such as the Generic Modeling Environment (GME) and the Generic Eclispe Modeling System (GEMS), to address the challenges and complexities of building large-scale distributed, real-time, and embedded (DRE) systems. Moreover, he is focusing on using MDE tools to assist with locating design-time flaws related to quality-of-service (QoS) earlier in the development lifecycle as opposed to integraion time, which can require more time and effort to locate and resolve them. James's research in this area has lead to the creation of a tool called the Component Workload Emulator (CoWorkEr) Utilization Test Suite (CUTS), which currenly uses CoSMIC tool suite designed in GME for building CORBA Component Model (CCM) applications.
