Summary

Yannis Papakonstantinou's research is in the intersection of database and Internet technologies. His current research activities involve XML query processing, large-scale community-based mediation (including applications in scientific and geospatial data integration), and information retrieval on structured and semistructured databases. Yannis has published over sixty research articles in scientific conferences and journals, given tutorials at major conferences, and served on journal editorial boards and program committees for numerous international conferences and symposiums. He was the co-Chair of WebDB 2002, the General Chair of ACM SIGMOD 2003, the Vice PC Chair for the ``XML, Metadata and Semistructured Data" track of IEEE ICDE 2004 and 2006 and the founding co-chair of XIME-P in 2003. In 1998, Yannis received the NSF CAREER award for his work on integrating heterogeneous data. In 2000 Yannis founded Enosys Software, which built the first generally available distributed XQuery processor, along with software for XML-based integration of distributed sources, and was sold in 2003 to BEA Systems. Yannis holds a Diploma of Electrical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens and MS and Ph.D. in Computer Science from Stanford University (1997). He joined UCSD in 1996 and he also works closely with the San Diego Supercomputing Center.
