Main research interests are related to the database field, with an emphasis on the management of clinical information. The two main topics are:
temporal information systems
temporal workflow and business process systems: modeling issues and architectures;
temporal business processes: controllability;
temporal constraint networks and controllability;
temporal functional dependencies;
temporal data warehouses and temporal data mining;
XML, semistructured data and temporal information;
multiple temporal dimensions in modeling and querying data;
Event Calculus extended to deal with temporal granularity and indeterminacy;
visualizing temporal data;
uncertainty in temporal relationships by multiple-valued logics;
WWW-based access to temporal information;
granularity and indeterminacy in modeling and querying object-oriented temporal databases.
multimedia databases
modeling and querying multimedia data;
temporal features of multimedia data;
indexing structures;
compression techniques applied on biomedical signals and images.
