Past Research Projects
2004 - 2010
Cheshire3 is a fast XML search engine, written in Python for extensability and using C libraries for speed. It is feature rich, including support for XML namespaces, unicode, a distributable object oriented model and all the features expected of a digital library system. Standards are foremost, including SRW/U and CQL, as well as Z39.50 and OAI...
2002 - 2010
New methods and tools are needed to improve how bioscience researchers search for and synthesize information from textual descriptions of bioscience research. We are building a flexible, efficient, platform-independent database system infrastructure specifically geared towards supporting the advanced and particular search needs of bioscience...
2009
This project is sponsored by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Background & RationaleThe 2008 World Development Report identifies agriculture as the primary engine for economic growth and poverty reduction in the agriculture-based developing economies. This applies to most of sub-Saharan Africa where two-thirds of...
2003 - 2009
The 100x100 Project brings together economists, security and networking experts, network operators, and policy specialists to create blueprints for a network that goes beyond today's Internet. Drawing on technology trends and the experience of the past 30 years, these scientists are re-prioritizing the fundamental principles that underlie...
2005 - 2008
"Kids' Informal Learning with Digital Media: An Ethnographic Investigation of Innovative Knowledge Cultures" is a three year collaborative project funded by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. Carried out by researchers at University of Southern California and University of California, Berkeley, the digital youth project explores...
2006 - 2007
Project M (for "modeling") is an effort to unify complementary system analysis and development methodologies, in particular those of Document Engineering and User Centered Design. Each methodology is a workflow whose separate steps are the modeling activities that produce some normative model artifact (for example: use cases, business process...
2000 - 2007
The Denali Project is a multi-institutional collaborative research project developing next generation scalable services for the global Internet, including: scalable performance-predictable communication, scalable multicast for efficient data dissemination, scalable storage for next generation information services, and design principles for...
2006 - 2007
Connecting XML and modeling languages so that models and their serialization in XML can be developed and maintained in sync. XML Schema is today's most popular schema language for XML, but it definitely is more a schema language than a modeling language. So when thinking about the abstract data model that should serve as the...
2005 - 2006
Garage Cinema Research was a research group led by Professor Marc Davis that focused on creating the technology and applications that will enable daily media consumers to become daily media producers. Garage Cinema Research's work encompassed the theory, design, and development of digital media systems for creating and using media metadata to...
1995 - 2005
The goal of this project is to develop the technologies for intelligent access to massive, distributed collections of multi-media documents including photographs, satellite images, videos, full text documents, and "multivalent" documents comprised of multiple terabyte databases.
