Research interests
I retired as Reader in Distributed Information Management on 30/9/2007, staying on as a Principal Research Associate for the academic year 2007-2008. I am now fully retired, and no longer able to accept PhD students. I still supervise undergraduates, and continue to be involved in some of the opera group research projects, in particular TIME-EACM.
Research interests include distributed database systems, information retrieval,
active applications and access control (including RBAC for wide-area applications
with federated management domains, and also trust-based access control systems).
Jean Bacon and I lead the Opera project, which has had EPSRC funded research grants
for the Multi-Service Storage Architecture (MSSA), the IMP Interactive presentation
support system, Active Systems, Global Computation using Events, Oasis Access Control, Access Control Policy Management, Business Contract Driven Applications, Securing Publish/Subscribe Information Flows (EDSAC21), Information Management for Patient Care (CareGrid) and the Transport Information Monitoring Environment (TIME-EACM).
A list of selected publications can be found here. For versions that can be downloaded see the
Opera group publication page.
