His research interests are centered on issues regarding the software development for complex, esp. distributed, systems on all levels. This includes design methods, visual languages and tools for distributed systems development as well as middleware, Service-Oriented Architectures and cloud computing. His current interests are in the seamless transition from business processes to their implementation in a SOA and cloud context, in new approaches for the Internet-of-Things like Edge- and Fog-Computing as well as in modern cloud techniques like, e.g. Serverless computing. Guido is the author or co-author of more than 150 publications in international refereed journals and conferences. He is a long-time member of the German computer society GI, the IEEE-CS and the ACM.
