Research 

My general areas of interest include object-oriented software engineering, database systems, and information technology. 

My research focuses mainly on managing the evolution of object-oriented systems. This work comprises a theoretical framework and practical algorithms for the design, maintenance, and optimization of object-oriented systems. Topics include automatic learning of class organizations from object examples, optimization of class organizations, and automatic maintenance of structural and behavioral consistency in evolving systems.

I am currently leading the development of a visual programming environment for object-oriented languages with built-in support for maintenance and reuse.

I am also interested in information technology. My investigations in this area are mainly concerned with integrating information from heterogeneous sources. I am particularly interested in data mediation to resolve semantic differences between data sources.
