My primary research interests are in the areas of techniques for effectively representing and using knowledge in computer systems. My current research focuses on developing large-scale distributed repositories of computer-interpretable knowledge, collaborative development of multi-use ontologies, representing computer-interpretable knowledge on Web pages, reasoning methods applicable to large-scale knowledge bases, compositional modeling of physical devices, and model-based reasoning methods to support engineering design, diagnosis, and control.
My previous research has included co-developing the STRIPS automatic planning system, KIF (Knowledge Interchange Format), the Ontolingua ontology representation language and Web-based ontology development environment, the OKBC (Open Knowledge Base Connectivity) API for knowledge servers, CML (Compositional Modeling Language), IntelliCorp's KEE system, and CFRL (Causal Functional Representation Language).
