He is also interested in knowledge representation, data mining and knowledge discovery, tools and methodologies for information system design and visualization and user interfaces for better information retrieval.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cIt is a great honor to be recognized by the computing research community for my long-standing work on modeling design, distribution and integration of databases which I started when databases were just starting to be used in industry and government for large-scale applications,\u201d Navathe said. \u201cThrough my textbook and its translations in 11 languages, I have been able to influence the teaching of this discipline worldwide. I owe it to a number of colleagues, faculty, and industry collaborators and students who have worked with me over the last 35 plus years.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Professors Mark Guzdial and Shamkant Navathe were among 47 computer scientists selected as fellows of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) this week for their innovations in the field."}],"uid":"27998","created_gmt":"2015-01-08 13:35:20","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:17:50","author":"Brittany Aiello","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2015-01-09T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2015-01-09T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"362181":{"id":"362181","type":"image","title":"Guzdial-Navathe Research News","body":null,"created":"1449245793","gmt_created":"2015-12-04 16:16:33","changed":"1475895098","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:51:38","alt":"Guzdial-Navathe Research News","file":{"fid":"202084","name":"guzdial-navathe.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/guzdial-navathe_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/guzdial-navathe_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":30463,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/guzdial-navathe_0.jpg?itok=Ip3j_kjE"}}},"media_ids":["362181"],"groups":[{"id":"47223","name":"College of Computing"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"3047","name":"ACM"},{"id":"113911","name":"ACM Fellows"},{"id":"10469","name":"Mark Guzdial"},{"id":"114601","name":"Press Release"},{"id":"169698","name":"Shamkant Navathe"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EPhillip Taylor\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ENews and Media Relations Manager\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:ptaylor@cc.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Eptaylor@cc.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["ptaylor@cc.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
