Omar's Research page

I just completed a Masters in Computer Science and a Masters in Manufacturing Systems from Stanford University. While at Stanford I was a research assistant at the Computer Science Logic Group. My research focus included autonomous interoperable software agents and learning agents.

This is a text version of my resume.

Professional and Academic Software Work:

• Java Software Development
• Work on software agents
• General Software Development
• Project Management
• Engineering Software Research

Java Software Development

• Currently I am developing a java based Data Mart Publishing System. This includes a java publishing client, a java publishing server, a set of jdbc database connectors, and a light weight web server. I am currently doing this as the lead developer on this project at Informatica.
• A java based server and robot which implement the Semantic Markup Language (SML). This server acts as a robot and query engine which sucks in pages with semantic markup and answers queries about the marked up content in pages. I did this on my own.

Software Agents Currently, agent technology is growing in popularity. The Logic group's involvement with CommerceNet is a good example of the impact agents are having on electronic commerce. Click here to see an example of agents at work: infomaster try finding an apartment in the bay area.... Or visit Firefly for a completely different notion of agents. (Rather than being knowledge sharing agents, these agents learn about and categorize a user's preferences.)

• An society of competing (Survival of the fittest) software agents that surf the web honing in on particular user interests. This was done as part of a class project.
• Object Oriented Magenta in C++ (An api for Object Oriented Agents)
• A Perl Agent API
• A PC version of the Agent Communication Language Server. Here is a description of ACL and its use in knowledge sharing technology.
• My own web server. I am extending the MSJ Webster server to handle Agent Communications.
• A Name Space Context Graph for Multi-Agent Multi-context Systems (Paper presented at AAAI Fall Symposia '95)
• Name Master (My version of a dictionary for agents not for humans)
• Visualizer: A Windows Agent Visualizer
• A standard frame based automatically generated agent interface for magenta agents.
General Software Development
• A Web site I set up at a company I consult for. Nothing fancy yet, just a start...
• An Enterprise Data Mart, Meta data browser for Informatica.
• Extending the HP Fusion OOD/OOA method to include simulation (to capture problems of concurrency and distribution.)
Project Management
Since this page is primarily dealing with research see my resume for a description of my pre-grad school work as a Project Manager in the Oil industry.

Engineering Software Research

• Interdisciplinary Communication Medium (ICM) for multi-disciplinary design coordination
• Autocad Agent Api for collaborative design: allowing any Autocad application to behave as an autonomous agent.
• A time Ontology for workgroup agents (if you are in need of an ontology that takes into account the fact that different agents have different concepts of time, this might do.)
