A world of weblogs
One more weblog on the Internet, what a deal. But this one is special: it speaks about me! On this blog, I will post thoughts and ideas about my work for my PhD, or any other interesting computer science things I might stumble upon during the day.
Very shortly: I started my PhD at the laboratoire des méthodes de programmation (LAMP) at the EPFL in Lausanne under the supervision of Prof. Martin Odersky on the fourth of April 2005. Currently, I intend to work on how to support relational database querying in a completely transparent (that is without SQL) yet efficient (that is with SQL) way in modern programming languages. The project might quickly extend to include more general querying for a variety of data repository systems (who said XQuery?). The modern programming language that will be used as a reference here is the LAMP's very own language, Scala.
