Working in all areas related to vision, perception, information systems, and intelligent systems, it started becoming clear to Ramesh that the application models have an important role to play and these models should be dynamic. His doctoral research in control theory kept reminding him the role of information assimilation based on strong application models. All this slowly started coming together. But there are daunting problems here.
