Research

My research interests in Artificial Intelligence and Knowledge-Based Systems are broad. My past research has been diverse in the area of knowledge based systems: work in the representation of physical devices, work in software support for engineering design, and work aimed at the integration of linked problem solving agents. My interests also include the social impact of computers, and their applications.
