Institute. His research interests are database theory (in particular,
query languages), Web information processing, constraint satisfaction
problems, nonmonotonic reasoning,
finite model theory, and computational complexity.
On the more applied side, he supervises a number of industry projects
dealing with expert systems and with multimedia information
systems. From 1989 to 1996 he directed the industry-funded Christian
Doppler Laboratory for Expert Systems. He is a co-founder of Lixto Corporation.
Gottlob got his Engineer and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science
from TU Vienna, Austria in 1979 and 1981, respectively.
Before he moved to Oxford in 2006, he was a Full Professor of Computer
