Borislav Roussev

Dr. Borislav Roussev is an Associate Professor of CIS at the University of the Virgin Islands. His diverse background includes teaching and research experience in Europe, South Africa, and the US. Boris Roussev’s interests are in the areas of object-oriented and economic-driven software development, requirements engineering and project management. He conducts research on causes of project failures, working from the presumptions that value-neutral principles and practices in software development are unable to deal with the sources of project failures, and that in order to manage effectively the computer technology, one has to consider the social context in which it is deployed and produced. In addition, Dr. Roussev has experience in software risk management and software process quality factor analysis. All of the above is combined with industry experience in software methods such as domain engineering, product lines, MDA with xUML, generative programming, and aspect-oriented programming. Dr. Roussev’s most recent research initiative is an interdisciplinary project on object-oriented linguistics and semiotics.
