My research interests lie broadly in service computing, business analytics, reliable distributed systems, Web databases, and semantic integration systems. The focus of my research is on applying service-oriented techniques in these areas to build analytical systems that are deployable in practice. Specifically, I have explored how to use reputation information in resolving trust and privacy issues in service-oriented environments, how to use information obfuscation techniques to enhance privacy, how to build more efficient Web databases, and how to add semantics to legacy data to facilitate integration. The coherent theme of my work is solving practical real world problems via innovative research and development, with focus on building efficient and reliable distributed systems.
