CAISOR Archive

Welcome to the CAISOR Archive

The CAISOR Archive is a webpage structure (a "hyperpage") for describing the topics and results of my research, from 1966 and until the present time. This structure is a contribution to the current effort to document the history of the Computer Science department at Linköping university. It describes my own work and work that has been done in concrete cooperation with others, but it does not address the works of graduate students or other group members that have worked independently although under my supervision. It is an evolving structure so it is not claimed to be complete at present, and probably it will never be.

The following are the most important contents:

• A list of journal articles that have been published in this line of work, ordered by year of publication, and with links for on-line access to the articles whenever possible.
• A list of some of the technical reports that have been produced in the same research.
• Descriptions of (some of) the major research topics that have been addressed in this research, with a list of the publications that pertain to each of them.
• A list of the successive research groups that I have led, the projects that they have participated in, and their group members.
• Brief notes that put these various contributions in their context and that explain how various activities were related, both scientifically and organizationally.

The acronym CAISOR stands for Combined Agenda for Information Analysis, Software Systems, Open-Access Publishing and Knowledge Representation, and it is used as an umbrella term for the range of research topics that I have addressed during these years. I believe that there is an important area for interdisciplinary research between software technology, artificial intelligence, and information science, and much of my work has concerned the integration of these areas.
