Main expertise and current areas of research

Focuses on revolutionary breakthroughs for the advanced enterprise.

Method is to leverage interdisciplinary insights founded in strong mathematical formalisms.

Work is often for classified programs, but current focus is open source.

Current focii are:

    • Federation of diverse information pools without recourse to restrictive standards

    • Representation of “soft” (i.e. non-explicit) dynamics in enterprise models

    • Leveraging functional programming (non object oriented) in planning

    • Highly distributed, apparently deterministic selfish agent systems

    • Dynamic creation of multi-level agents to act as synthetic teams and corporations

    • Novel metaphoric techniques for enterprise system visualization
