RESEARCH
INTERESTS
- General: Improved software
development techniques, in areas involving databases
or requirements engineering. Since such systems
maintain models of some (users' beliefs about)
reality, my approach is usually based on the use of
knowledge representation and reasoning
techniques/logics. As a result, I sometime
contribute to KR&R research to achieve my goals.
(In fact, see here , under
Awards :-) )
- Current: Description Logics: modeling
processes;
referring expressions; explanation.
Conceptual modeling. Ontological foundations
f of qualities & measurements. Requirements
Engineering Languages and Methodologoies.
