Biography

I arrived in Wellington from Austin, Texas in October, 2008. Prior to that, I spent over 20 years in the software industry, primarily as a programmer. I've programmed in Java, C++, Lisp, Prolog, Ada, Pascal, and others, and I've worked in a variety of software development environments.

The research area I am interested in involves applying artificial intelligence techniques to the development of more maintainable code. These techniques are intended to detect classes where the allocation of methods and attributes violates specified conditions, propose restructurings to improve those classes, and implement the proposed restructurings. The main contribution of the research will be the identification of how clustering techniques can be used to identify and resolve problems pertaining to the distribution of responsibilities among object-oriented classes.
