Research Interests

I find it very hard to narrow my research interest down to some specific topics. Nevertheless, to give you an impression, here is a non-exhaustive list:

• Information and knowledge processing
  • Knowledge inference, knowledge management
  • Semantic knowledge and information modelling
  • Knowledge representation (O-TELOS, OWL, DAML+OIL)
  • Semantic web, RDF/RDFS
  • Object oriented and relational database engineering
  • Information and Metadata
• Personalisation and adaptation
  • Attention metadata
  • User profiling
  • Information retrival
• Technology enhanced learning
  • Professional learning
  • Mobile technologies in education
• Artificial intelligence
  • Rule based systems (e.g. ConceptBase)
  • Logic programming
  • Data and text mining
• Software engineering
  • Object oriented programming (e.g. Java)
• Operating systems (Unix, Linux, Windows) and network administration
• P2P networks including routing and clustering
• ...
