Research
My main research interests lie in the area of applying logic
programming to database security and web connectivity, and the
application of these technologies to the semantic web.

Solaris Links
I like to use Solaris (preferably on Sparc hardware). I have also
successfully installed Solaris on several laptops (mobile computing for
those of use who can't afford a SparcBook!). The following links
might be useful:

Free Unix
I strongly advise student owners of PCs to install one of the free
"Unix" systems. There are now many versions of Linux readily
available and, increasingly, manufacturers are providing drivers for
Linux with some of their products. For purists, don't forget about
the various flavours of FreeBSD.
