His main research interests are in the field of Web Engineering, web evaluation methods, web metrics and automation, semantic web, and object-oriented technologies for distributed environments.

Currently, he continues researching in quantitative strategies for Web quality evaluation (Web QEM Doctoral Thesis disserted in 2000 [2,7 Mb in pdf format, and in Spanish]), and its supporting tools (Website MA and Web QEM_Tool). They were running case studies on museums, academic sites, and e-commerce bookstore sites. Besides, he is investigating on web metrics automation, and cataloguing under the semantic web approach. On the other hand, he was researching distributed software architectures in order to implement an application for the control and monitoring of Web-centered domotic functionality, among others.
