Research interest

I am interested in the following areas:

1. Social computing - how to design information systems to facilitate collaboration, presence and business-to-consumer/ business-to-business electronic commerce. Especially in the following fields
- Internet auction research
- Reputation and recommendation systems
- Trust

2.IT projects development and management, including:
- Business processes
- software development life-cycle
- Quantitative methods to measure projects

3.Social aspects of computerized simulations and games design

4. Electronic Commerce
