Summary

Twenty years of experience in object-oriented software engineering, team-based development and distributed learning environments. Expert in object-oriented technologies, digital rights management, distance education and distributed simulation.

Object modeling experience in UML (OMG’s Unified Modeling Language), XML, IDL (CORBA’s Interface Description Language), and ODL (TENA’s Object Definition Language).

Multi disciplinary background with broad and deep knowledge of software engineering and computer networking. Expansive thinker with outstanding record of accomplishments. Designed, developed and deployed technology strategy and policy within industrial and educational environments. Authored two books, one patent and many articles.

Originated the Objective-C programming language,,,, the and the distance education course. The last won the $25,000 Paul Allen Foundation award as the best distance education course nationwide. See http://virtualschool.edu for further information on these projects.

Jan 2004-

Senior Subject Matter Expert: SAIC, Arlington VAXHTML Modularization in XML-Schema Project Lessons; Technical Report for the SISO XMSF Profile Standards Working Group.Assignment to subcontractor (Object Sciences; TENA Middleware development group) to aid in the development and testing of the Test & Training Enabling Architecture (TENA). TENA provides high-performance, real-time, low-latency connectivity between stateful distributed objects (SDO’s) for test ranges and training simulations. Developed in C++, ODL (TENA’s Object Model Definition Language), TAO (CORBA) and ACE. Architectural design (DODAF+UML) of a synthetic battle space for developmental and operational testing of the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS). This required a gateway via which a few real JTRS radios can be tested in an operationally realistic environment with thousands of virtual radios (hardware in the loop). The virtual environment included OneSAF for operational simulation and OPNET for virtual radio modeling, inter-connected by HLA (High-level Architecture). Ported the HLA/RTI-NG user test suite from Unix to Windows using Visual C++, Perl, and Clearcase.
