Dr. James Slagle slagle@cs.umn.edu (612) 625-0329 http://www.cs.umn.edu/faculty/slagle.html

I have worked on researching, designing, and implementing the DATATOOL Data Retrieval and Analysis Tool project. My research also includes work on a Natural Language understanding system, a neural network architecture for control of robot manipulator arms, the Decentralized Decision-Making System, and automated temporal logic. In other research, I am working with a group including doctors in the Bio-Medical Engineering Institute and in the Medical School in designing a home monitoring expert system to aid in the follow-up of lung transplant patients.

Dr. Jaideep Srivastava srivasta@cs.umn.edu (612) 625-4012 http://www.cs.umn.edu/faculty/srivasta.html

My research approach has been to use (a) the special nature of multimedia information, (b) the nature of infrastructure hardware and software, and (c) the perceptual requirements of end users, to develop a number of mechanisms that can be used in next generation operating systems, networks, and databases for multimedia.
