Currently I am doing a lot of research in the area of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Web Intelligence, Information & Network Security and Computational Trust. Research in the area of artificial intelligence addresses theoretical aspects of neural and machine learning, inductive learning in artificial neural networks, novel neural network's applications, learning in multi-agent systems, the application of intelligent software agents in internet computing and the Web, intelligent information processing systems, web intelligence and adaptive Web systems. Computational security and trust work focuses on the development of highly effective network survivability systems, intrusion detection and response, and trust and reputation within the agent societies.
