Dr. Jayaraman's research interests center around declarative and visual modeling of complex systems, with a focus on programming languages, compilers, execution environments, and software methodologies. He directs the Language Research Group, and his current research projects are described at the LRG webpage. Dr. Jayaraman's research group has developed compilers and execution environments for a variety of programming paradigms that have been distributed world-wide. His research in constraints and preferences, especially 'preference gramamars', has served as the basis for the development of commercial software for an important application of natural language analysis called 'data standardization'. His research group at Buffalo is presently developing a state-of-the-art declarative and visual execution environment for Java.
