Current Teaching

Modeling and Design for Java Applications (15-499C) -- application of Unified Modeling Language (UML) for conceptual and implementation
design of Java applications.

Previous Projects

Methods of Software Development Course (15-672) - co-instructor. The course is about developing software in a methodical and systematic fashion. It advocates a lightweight approach to methods--i.e., strategic applications of methods to appropriate parts of problem rather than uniformly across the whole problem or development lifecycle. Michael Jackson's problem frames and descriptive techniques are taught with emphasis on application to problem analysis as condition precedent to effective solution development.
Software Engineering (15-413) - instructor.
Advanced Software Engineering (15-495) - instructor.
Methods of Software Engineering for Information Networking (17-696) - instructor.
 
Graduate Admissions Project -- project is intended to allow (well, virtually) paperless submission, tracking and review of graduate admissions for the Computer Science Department. As plans evolve, they will be accessible from this page. A prototype admission form has been developed by Clark Slater.
 
High Level Architecture Modeling -- the HLA is being developed by the Department of Military Simulation Operations to standardize simulations of all kinds for their operations. There are a number of activities being done at CMU; I am involved in Ownership Management modeling in NP and checking NP translation of Wright traces in Nitpick. (NP is a subset of Z; Nitpick is a specification checker.)
 
Distance Education -- instructor and curriculum/website development for Methods of Software Development.

Biographical Information 

Carnegie Mellon University
Lecturer in the School of Computer Science. I teach Software Engineering, Advanced Software Engineering, and some Methods courses. (See above). In the Fall 1998 semester I  co-instructed Methods of Software Engineering (15-672) with Dr. James Tomayko. I have also co-instructed or TA'd Managing Software Development (15-673), Architectures of Software Systems (15-674) and Undergraduate Software Engineering (15-413). As shown by the picture above, I started preparing for this quite a while ago. I also work on Distance Education versions of some of the courses. I also worked at the Software Engineering Institute on the Software Architectures Technology Initiative.
