Prof Woodman's research interests focus on complex software, particularly object-oriented systems. He also studies social and cultural aspects of software engineering. An author of many articles and books, and a consultant on several TV programmes, recent international articles focus on object technology and on process improvement. He is Middlesex University's principal investigator on a large European project on software components and process improvement.
Prof Woodman has been heavily involved in international standards work as an ISO convenor and was a BSI panel chair. He was a member of the OOPSLA 99 programme committee and was co-programme chair of TOOLS Europe 2000. He has been involved in distance education for over twenty years and he has led projects for introducing computing to several thousand students in the UK and overseas and has led a team that won awards from the British Computer Society (BCS) and the Design Council. In 1999 he was a BCS judge for its IT Awards competition.
On Tuesday 3 June 2003, Professor Woodman presented his Inaugural Professorial Lecture entitled "The subroutines are back online, Captain".
