My research interests include quality of analysis, quality of data, quality of service, data analysis, data mining, data narratives, storytelling, personalization, recommendation and OLAP, especially in the context of autonomous, heterogeneous and distributed information systems, and particularly in a big data, cloud or data lake context, in the presence of poorly (or not) structured data, of varying format and quality.
