Research Interests

My research interests are divided into several areas:
1)Database Systems - I am interested in Security, Query Optimization and Physical structures.
In recent years I have shifted into Data mining and Data security. My recent work in Databases is on XML indexing, especially the A(k) index.
2) Data security – I have done work in various aspects of data security, including: Role-based authorization and administration, Information flow, Database encryption, Intrusion detection and most recently Trust & Reputation. The work on Trust &Reputation produced the TRIC project which is a full infrastructure to support trust and reputation in virtual communities and was funded by the Deutsche Telekom Laboratories at Ben-Gurion University

3) Data Mining and Knowledge discovery.  - I am interested mainly in Meta-queries and in mining from semi-structured data like XML. See Flexi-Mine for a description of our KDD project and system. see KITE for our recent cooperative project on knowledge discovery of Metadata and XML data.
