I am currently working on applying information management and processing technologies to support Business Integrity, focusing on providing continuous auditing by using business provenance data. The projects that I contributed over the years as a manager and research staff member are listed below:

Continuous Auditing of Business Processes  -  Analyze business processes, identify key control points, information extraction rules, text analysis requirements and develop computational rules for automatic and continuous auditing (2007-2009)

Enabling UIMA with OSGi -  Managed the design and delivery of a Dynamic Module Enabler for Unstructured Information Management Architecture (UIMA) Component Analytics .  This capability enabled UIMA developers and customers to bundle their analytics as formal OSGi bundles and make use of the component-based features of this emerging standard. The enablement package can be downloaded at http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/dmeuima. (2006)

Development Tools for UIMA - Managed the design and the development of a set of  Eclipse plug-ins to support full UIMA Application development cycle. The tools aim to help developers to accomplish tasks rapidly in the Eclipse IDE (integrated development environment). (2006)

UIMA Component Repository – Managed the design and the development of UIMA Component Repository. In 2005 UIMA component repository services, including component packaging, submission, registry and discovery became internally available. Repository is crucial in enabling asset reuse within UIMA community and accelerating UIMA adoption. The external version of the UIMA Component Repository is hosted by CMU Language Technologies Institute at http://uima.lti.cs.cmu.edu/ (2004)

Advance Enterprise Information Search and Delivery System – Managed the research team who designed and the developed a new information search and delivery architecture for ibm.com technical support services available at http://www.ibm.com/support , code-named Digital Blue or dBlue. This back-end system was designed and prototyped in the course of two years as the strategic solution for the ibm.com Support and Enablement organization, to increase customer satisfaction and reduce cost. dBlue is the underlying architecture of the "one Web" vision, providing one IBM technical support experience for customers with a single IBM support/service portal, tool set, and infrastructure. dBlue became available to IBM’s customers in September 2002. (2002)

Knowledge Access Manager (KAM) - Managed the design and the development of a search application which allows IBM customers to reach and analyze multiple information sources, send multiple queries to different search services simultaneously, merge and regroup the results based on user preferences and service agent data collected from their registered machines - all in a single session. IBM Integrated Technology Services division offered KAM as a Premium Search Solution to the customers in April 2001. (2001)

IBM Electronic Services - Managed the design and the development of e.Service project that enabled  AS/400 customers with an IBM service contract who registered for this enhancement to get direct access to IBM technical support 24 hours a day via the Internet. e.Service continuously monitors service events and periodically gather environmental information, enabling more personalized fix recommendations. IBM made this solution available in October 2000. (2000)

Notes Automated Teleconference Scheduling: - Designed and developed a solution that  automates teleconference scheduling, rescheduling and cancellation tasks from Notes Calendar without any operator intervention within 10 seconds and meeting attendees are notified automatically. This saves about 10 minutes per scheduling task. The application became available in IBM US in July 1999, integrated into new R5 V3 template in 2001. The total number of reservations made through this application exceeded 100,000 this year and more than 1,000,000 minutes saved. (1999)

TurboConference: Co--designed and developed the critical teleconferencing components of this Web-enabled multimedia conferencing system.  In particular, Web-enabled the control of the conferencing bridge. (1998)

Intelligent Transportation Systems: Worked as the communications technical lead in IBM ITS architecture development team. (1996)

Multimedia Servers: Performance and cost analysis of video server systems.(1994) Click here for more information arrowPDF

High performance switching systems: Conducted the performance analysis of switching systems, various computer communication protocols. (1989-93)
