Background Information
Dr. Subrahmanian is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science, Institute for Advanced Computer Studies and Institute for Systems Research at the University of Maryland College Park. He is Director of Institute for Advanced Computer Studies (UMIACS). He received the NSF National Young Investigator Award in 1993 and the Distinguished Young Scientist Award from the Maryland Science Center/Maryland Academy of Science in 1997. His primary area of research is in databases and artificial intelligence and his work in AI spans rule-based expert systems and logic programs, nonmonotonic reasoning, probabilistic reasoning, temporal reasoning, hybrid reasoning, and software agents. His work in databases focuses on heterogeneous database integration and interoperability, logic databases, probabilistic databases, and multimedia databases. I have also worked extensively on multimedia systems.
Dr. Subrahmanian received his PhD in Computer Science from Syracuse University in 1989. He has over 100 published/accepted papers. He has edited two books, one on nonmonotonic reasoning (MIT Press) and one on multimedia databases (Springer). He has co-authored an advanced database textbook (Morgan Kaufman, 1997) and has written a textbook on multimedia databases (Morgan Kaufman, Jan. 1998). His monograph on software agents appeared in June 2000 (MIT Press). Dr. Subrahmanian has also worked extensively in e-commerce and logistics, having developed algorithms for making predictions about when certain events will occur and developing techniques to automatically compute an intelligent set of actions (simple and complex) to take in response to changes in an environment.
Dr. Subrahmanian has built logistics applications in collaboration with the US Army. He has given invited talks and served on invited panels at several national and international conferences. In addition, he has served on the program committees of various conferences. He is or has been on the editorial boards of IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering, AI Communications, Multimedia Tools and Applications, Journal of Logic Programming, Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence, and Distributed and Parallel Database Journal. He has served on DARPA's Executive Advisory Board for the Advanced Logistics program and currently serves on its Technical Advisory Team for its Ultralog Program.
