My current research is two pronged:

i. contextual reasoning in AI

ii. public implications of the Internet

VAROL AKMAN

Public implications of the Internet Problems caused by tensions between local versus global, individual versus corporate, and democratic versus authoritarian in the framework of the Internet. More specifically: Basic concepts and history of the Internet as a socio-political medium. Free access to information in the networked world. The Internet as a trusted communications medium in light of security and privacy issues. Censorship and politics of the Internet vis-à-vis interventions by oppressive governments. Social movements in the 21st century marked by rapid broadcast of ideas and images. My grad course CS 513 treats such societal aspects of the Internet.
