Information systems are a crucial component of any organization.
Recent progress in the field of database systems has broadened the range of applications for information systems from traditional data processing problems to include applications such as multimedia systems, data warehouses and multidatabase systems. The focus of Dr. Martin's research is the efficient use and management of these advanced information systems. His current research projects are in the areas of networked multimedia systems, data warehouses and dynamic resource management in DBMSs. The data warehouse project is developing a warehouse to support systems and distributed application management. 68-77, April 1998.
