Enterprise Architecture & Distributed Systems
We study how enterprises integrate information systems and in particular how they use distributed middleware for the integration process. Based on these studies we propose and design tools that improve the way architects design and build distributed systems.

Logic, quantum computing and quantum gravity
This
work originated from the search of alternative mathematical methods to
tackle some of the main open problems in general relativity. The
inadequacy of classical relativistic formalism to give a satisfactory formulation of
some of these problems revealed not just the limitations of this
formalism, but also the limitations of the conception of reality derived
from these tools. This brought us to the Everett interpretation of quantum mechanics and to the deeper development of these ideas by David Deutsch through quantum computation; particularly, the
conception of quantum geometry derived from this perspective. Based on
this approach we have found a mathematical framework where Deutsch-Everett ideas
seem to find a natural formulation and that provides the tools to find a
natural extension of classical relativistic formalism. This frame work
opens the possibility to settle a definite interpretation of quantum
theory revealing also interesting new pathways to affront the quantum
gravity program.
