Les Miller
(lmiller@iastate.edu)
Professor of Computer Science
Major Interests: Organizational memory, Database design, Data Warehouses, Data Mining, Computational Biology, Human Computer Interaction, Database Integration, Software Integration.
Current Research: Dr. Miller is currently looking at the developing infrastructure for providing geospatial data to field survey and exploration applications. Other work on geospatial data focuses on developing accuracy models. Current activity in the organizational decision support systems area centers around the use of object based database systems to support the decision process. Work on organizational memory is focused on the capture of organizational semantics and the integration of corporate documents into the meeting process.
