Research Interests:


My primary interests are in conceptual modeling; information integration; data and schema evolution; and query languages and interfaces.  My research currently focuses on finding new ways to query or update data and schema through complex views.

The Guava Project

Research:


Guava: GUI as View

Guava is a framework that allows the user interface of an application to generate most of the rest of the artifacts of a software application semi-automatically, such as in-memory data structures and a persistent database.  It also generates a query interface that resembles the original UI; using this interface, a novice user can pose educated queries of the database without ever using SQL or knowing the database schema.

OPERA:


I have been a regular member of the Portland Opera Chorus for the past seven years.  Click here to see pictures from each of the shows that I've been in, and a few of my thoughts about the shows.
