I am interested in research and development in the area of software engineering, model-driven development and lifecycle management. I had been working on annotation authroing tools for web content adaptation, model-driven development and model-extraction technology for web applications. I am now particulary attracted the area of business performance management system such that key performance indicators(KPIs) are automatically monitored. Gartner coined it as business activity monitoring(BAM).
My long term goal is to innovate technologies that make a deep impression on people and convince them that they are useful indeed!
