Research Interests
My research focuses on techniques for information provisioning and decision-support in complex environments. These require a fusion of aspects of:
- knowledge technologies: particularly ontologies, problem-solving, and information quality.
- agent technologies: particularly communication, resource identification, and coalition formation.
- distributed computing technologies: particularly Web and Grid.
Application domains include e-science, e-healthcare, e-commerce, and e-response.
