Research Fellow
For one year I have been employed by KMi as Research Fellow in Semantic Web Services. I work within the DIP and SUPER projects on service composition. Before joining KMi I had previously collaborated within the DIP and AKT projects, on which I worked at the University of Sheffield. My own general interests are in formal models for software composition which are, accordingly, compositional. The intersection between the two is embodied in the Cashew project, which is implemented in the IRS, integrated in the DIP project, and informs my work within the WSMO Working Group and the OASIS Semantic Execution Environment Technical Committee.
