Thomas J. Watson Research Center
as a Research Staff Member in 1996, where she worked on and led various projects relating to issues of software composition, morphogenic software, and aspect-oriented software development
.
Her work on multi-dimensional separation of concerns was recognized as the Most Influential Paper at the 2009 International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE). She currently serves as chief architect for Governance of Software Development, an IBM Research initiative that ties together the tools for teams of developers with the planning and financial management aspects required by enterprises.
Dr. Tarr was the 2005 program chair of the Aspect-Oriented Software Development conference and was the 2006 general chair of ACM
