Current Project: Query Previews and Dynamic Queries:
Developing interfaces that reduce the number of zero - hit and million hit queries and make interacting
with large distributed database easier. This is achieved by allowing the user to preview the distribution of
the data along certain meaningful parameters prior to sending out a query. This first phase of filtering the data
is called "Query Preview". The data points selected in the preview are presented to the user on the
Query Refinement Screen, where many other characteristics of this limited data set are rendered visible. Users can use this
information to refine their query further.
The current research plans include:
- Solving problems that arise due to Multi Valued Attributes and
- Implementing the query refinement phase in Java

Human Factors and Mechatronics: The integration of the Human Operator into Mechano-Electric Systems should be well planned. The extent of human involvement in the
system has other implications that have been identified and modeled. System designers must be
aware that the design of the system can influence the level of operator involvement. The level
of operator involvement should be selected keeping in mind all the implications of this choice.

The Web-Site Design Audit
A simple audit that contains 101 questions divided into ten headings. The answers the
these questions help determine if the site is well designed.
