My Ph.D. thesis was in the area of programming environments. The thesis dealt with applying program flow analysis and program slicing techniques to automate the program debugging process for programs written in imperative languages.

In 1994 my research interest moved towards intelligent information systems, when I at the same time accepted to be director of the laboratory for Intelligent Information Systems. Generally, the area of intelligent information systems is concerned with proposing principles, methods and tools for defining and constructing advanced information management systems tailored to future information society.
