A Unified
Analysis Method for the Calculation of the Steady-State Aeroelastic
Airload Distribution – Boeing
Document D6-23828TN. FORTRAN
simulation of airloads on Boeing SST.
Interpreting
Synthetic Ground-Penetrating Radar – PhD dissertation submitted to
Mining and Geological Dept. at
University of Arizona. Research aimed at developing base technology
for continuous profiling geophysical systems to determine “interesting”
subsurface features. Hybrid development combining object oriented
(Smalltalk) and procedural programming (C), neural networks, fuzzy
theory, genetic algorithms. Possible applications included unmanned Mars
Rover to scan subsurface Martian landscape as preliminary step to
seismic imaging.
Plan
Generation and Prolog – M.S. thesis submitted to University of
Arizona Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Give introduction
to concepts of plan generation, an overview of Declarative Languages,
and suggestions to seek blend of best features of LISP and Prolog.
POLOG: A
Mineral Exploration Expert System – Co-authored paper presented to
IEEE International Conference on
Systems, Man & Cybernetics. POLOG was expert system developed as a
graduate student at University of Arizona to simulate a geological
expert searching for a Kuroko type massive sulfide deposit. Developed
using Prolog computer language.
Expert
Systems and Uncertainty – Presentation to
Management Science faculty,
PhD students and other interested parties at University of Washington.
Review of numerical and non-numerical methods for handling uncertainty
in expert systems. Contrast with claims made against use of probability.
Describe where topic fits within overall context of logic. Discussion of
modified Bayesian method as implemented in expert system designed to
search for Kuroko type massive sulfide deposit that was developed at the
University of Arizona.
Labor
Collection System (LCS). Co-authored LCS user manual. LCS was system
developed for the City of Seattle to collect labor hours and pass these
on to one or more financial systems. LCS replaced a manual process.
Technology
Articles for CAP Gemini – Articles written to promote Emerging
Technologies for the CAP Gemini
Newsletter, Pacific Coast Unit.
Example: An Evaluation and
Comparison of Object Oriented approaches, circa 1996.
Technology
and Standards – Authored 330 page Volume 3 (of 14) for the U.S.
Army’s Information Systems
Architecture. Provided detailed description of key technologies and
standards that support implementation of the Information Systems
Architecture. Focus on emerging technologies for
United States Army Information
Systems Command (USAISC).
ASR 25-6
Prototype – Army Supplemental
Regulation required status of outages and hazardous conditions of
specific types on equipment to be reported to USAISC HQ on daily basis.
ASR 25-6 is one of the methods USAISC uses to gather information in
order to manage Army networks and systems. Co-authored ~200 page
document describing development of prototype via Smalltalk and Forward
Chaining Expert System. UI via Asymetrix Toolbook. Automated two week
manual process into system that dynamically “read/parsed” emails and
expert system that “interpreted” parsed results.
DATANET 8
Configurator --
Naval Undersea Warfare
Engineering Station. Authored 5 Volume documentation describing
Smalltalk application to automate configuration process for Honeywell
DPS 8 Mainframe, and handle communications interface between mainframe
and all the terminals, printers, etc. attached to it. Presented as paper
to HLUSA Forum 89 (Honeywell
Mainframe User’s Group). Won Best Presenter Award (Zenith laptop).
