Consumer's information management
In my research I claim that consumer is interested of product information and willing to use it, if it only could be managed and integrated to practices of everyday. In my thesis I am looking answer to this need with concepts and features of a tomorrows� information service. 
My one goal is to develop software tools that could be used in applying qualitative methodologies to design research.
