Research Interests
Distributed Systems
Distributed problem solvers investigations involve multiple client-server
models using: 1) direct RPC (via protocol compilation) 2) Java and 3)
Tcl-DP. Comparative studies represent an unachieved goal.
Modeling and Simulation studies are underway.
Neural Network Processors
Current neural network research activities include:
- combining ANN's and expert systems into mixed problem solving systems in
a Cooperative Heterogeneous Intelligent Processor System (CHIPs), and
- application of ANN's, general simulation, and expert system tools to
problem solving in "real" (human) and robotic behavior.
Simulation Processors and Environments
Our BEAK model of a SimEnvironment (Build, Exercise, Analyse, Knowledge)
includes work such as:
- B-unit activites are a logic-based processor for reasoning about
simulation software and natural language input in the model building process.
- E-unit activites center on discrete-event or combined continuous and
discrete systems, object-oriented systems and packages, and incorporation
of ES elements which forge an eventual "combined continuous discrete and
symbolic" simulator.
- A-unit activites primarily involve animation and general purpose
statistical approaches.
- K-unit activites include a "model base" which incorporates general
knowledge about simulation and systems to be modeled and results.
Applications include computer communication (network) systems and human
behavior models.
