Dr. E. Michael Maximilien (aka “max”)

I work for IBM Almaden Research Center as a research staff member in the Almaden Services Research group. See my résumé for details.

I am active in various technical communities inside and outside of IBM. See my blog for recent activities, thoughts, and discussions.

My primary research interest is simply Web computing. In particular, I am keenly interested in languages, systems, methods, practices, and techniques that make Web computing easier and help make the Web a trustable, social, and programmable platform and substrate for business and individuals.
