Projects: Wings is a workflow system that assists scientists with the design of large-scale computational experiments. It reasons about dataset and component constraints to create and validate workflows and to generate metadata for new data products.: This project aims to assist users by mapping to-dos into capabilities of agents or services that could carry out the task that the user intends. As a part of this project, we have also created two Facebook ToDo-List applications to collect user data in a social environment.

Older Projects : Projects in which I am not actively involved due to their completion include,,,, (Perl-CGI), (Lisp/XSL), (XML/XSL) and (Perl-CGI, SOAP/WSDL).
