Research Interests:

I am interested in semantics and implementation of declarative programming languages (specifically Logic Programming and Answer Set Programming), Computational Logic, Knowledge Representation, and Automated Reasoning. I have also been working in the area of Web service description, discovery & composition and was involved in the design and development of a Web service description language called USDL (Universal Service-Semantics Description Language).
