🧠 Automated On-Demand Context-Specific Documentation
Authors: Ahmed Tamrawi, Sharwan Ram, Payas Awadhutkar, Ganesh Ram Santhanam, Benjamin Holland, Suresh Kothari
Venue: IEEE ICSME 2018 – DySDoc3, Madrid, Spain
🏆 Received Best Challenge Entry Award
Abstract:
DynaDoc is an automated documentation system for on-demand, context-specific documentation.
It leverages graph database technology with an eXtensible Common Software Graph Schema (XCSG) to efficiently mine program artifacts and link them to commits, issues, and other metadata.
This approach enables semantically rich documentation for millions of lines of source code, enhancing software comprehension and developer productivity.

🔒 Catastrophic Cyber-Physical Malware
Authors: Suresh Kothari, Ganesh Ram Santhanam, Payas Awadhutkar, Benjamin Holland, Jon Mathews, Ahmed Tamrawi
Book Chapter: Springer International Publishing (2018)
Abstract:
This chapter discusses the rise of cyber-physical malware (CPM), such as Industroyer, and its potential to cause catastrophic disruptions across industrial control systems, telecommunications, and mission-critical infrastructure.
I participated in key discussions and contributed technical feedback on the intersection of software vulnerability analysis and ICS resilience.
These research projects laid the foundation for my focus on AI-driven documentation systems and security analytics, directly influencing my current work in data, compliance, and product security engineering.
