He consults for law firms on intellectual property and patent infringement, patent validity/invalidity, the discovery process, obtaining and presenting evidence, and developing and evaluating alternative scenarios on various computer technology cases. He was visiting scientist/consultant to IBM Corporation in 1972-1975 on future database and applications generation technology.
Dr. Cárdenas has served as chairman and member of organizational and program committees for many conferences, and he has led many seminars and spoken to audiences in various countries. He is past-president (1984-1989) and member of the Board of Trustees of the Very Large Data Base Endowment, which conducts the annual International Conference on Very Large Data Bases. He has been a member of review boards for the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and various other institutions. He is co-editor with Dennis McLeod of the book Research Foundations in Object-Oriented and Semantic Database Systems (Prentice Hall, Inc., 1990), author of the book Data Base Management Systems (W. C. Brown Publishers, 1979 and 1984), co-editor and co-author of Computer Science (John Wiley & Sons Incorporated, 1972), and author of many other publications. He is an editor of the Information Systems Journal, and is a member of the Association for Computing Machinery and the Society for Information Management.

He leads the Multimedia Information Stream System Technology Group (MIST), an interdisciplinary research group in the UCLA Computer Science Department in collaboration with the UCLA School of Medicine and the Department of Radiological Sciences.
He has research collaborative efforts with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory . He serves as coordinator with Yahoo! in the Computer Science Department affiliates program.
Concerned with the serious lack of diversity particularly in engineering and computer science in universities, he co-leads the NSF funded and industry supported (Google, Intel, HP, Microsoft, Cisco) FOCUS (Frontier Opportunities in Computing for Underrepresented Students) project aimed at increasing the number and performance of diversity students in computer science and engineering, and identifying the fundamental elements needed.
As member of the California Council on Science and Technology, he has promoted and advised policies and laws with the State of California needed to further health information technology, particularly for the development of the integrated electronic medical record for patients and the nurturing of personalized medicine. He has advised Governor office health care officials and state legislators, and has participated in the development of state legislature bills and review of technical, financial and organizational impediments.
