Current Interests:

Maine Starlogo Communities
A project of the Computer Science Department's EMERGE Group, this is a NYNEX funded effort to construct a collaborative website for the development of Starlogo models. Such models foster decentralized, emergent thinking. The goal is to have middle and high school students contribute and share models and other decentralized ideas through the site.
The WISR Workshops
The Workshops for Institutionalizing Software Reuse, held annually since 1987 and originating in Maine, are documented here. There is also a link to WISR 8 , to be held at Ohio State University in March, 1997.
Reuse links.
These are a few hastily generated reuse related links. Notice that they "degenerate" fairly quickly into software engineering/emergent systems/other topic links.
Papers, Workshops, and Talks
Some upcoming activities in reuse and K-12 learning environments.
Student projects.
A range of students and projects I'm connected with.
Fall, 1996 Courses.
The four courses I'm teaching during the Fall, 1996 semester.
The ISIS Project
A University of Maine project aimed at integrating Students into Interdisciplinary Study.
  • The Mind's Eye will be offered again in the Spring, 1997 semester.
  • For a hint at what we might be discussing, here are links to Harold Cohen's Aaron , and to Thinking Machines/Unthinking Humans .
    The Upward Bound Program
    I am the Computer Science team leader for the summer Math/Science Upward Bound program on campus. This past summer ('96) we focused on infectious disease .
    Family Matters
    Jeremy's early photo (1988ish) and a few of his digital images.
    Schools:
  • Stevens Institute of Technology , Hoboken, New Jersey. Ph.D. in Computer Science, 1985.
  • Polytechnic University of New York , Brooklyn, New York. M.S. in Operations Research, 1978.
  • Bernard M. Baruch College , City University of New York. B.B.A. in Statistics, 1973.
    Digital Tradition Folk Song Database
    ... all you ever wanted to know about folk musicians, ranging from Dylan to Bok (it seems that since they've left Xerox Parc, they're back in business. We'll see.)
