(1)CURRICULUM VITAE ( PART II )
Research Experience:
Since 1992, my major research topics are Cellular Automata, Neural
Networks, Genetic / Evolutionary Algorithms, Fuzzy Logic, Speech
Recognition and Distributed Computing / Processing.
Within these areas, I have pursued the following avenues:
- Used all known paradigms as learning methods for Collective
Learning Automata and Artificial Neural Networks. These systems were
used to model/simulate natural/artificial systems.
- Used Artificial Neural Networks for Pattern Recognition.
- Various topics in Distributed Processing / Open Distributed
Systems.
In 1993 while visiting GWU, I collaborated on a research project
involving design, implementation and testing of ADA compilers /
tutorials. The project was under the supervision of Prof. Michael
F. Feldman. In 1995, I was admitted and participate in the research
project titled, "Word Recognition: From Cochlear nuclei to Temporal
Cortex" under the supervision of Prof. John Antrobas, CCNY / CUNY.
I was selected to be a part of the team that attempts to develop the
first Artificial Brain compose of Cellular Automata Machines, SR
Institute Kyoto, Japan. Also, I received several teaching offers that
range from Lecturer , Visiting Professor to full time Professor.
In different area of work, I assisted in the preparation of
departmental research and educational proposals.
Programming Experience:
As part of my work with Litton Systems Inc., I custom designed software.
The main Database application software used was Paradox in which
I created applications using PAL. I created several tutorials for the
following languages: Assembly Language, FORTRAN, BASIC and ADA. All
programming necessary for my computer simulation projects were done
in, C, Assembly Language. In addition I have also, implemented
applications in C++, XMotif,Prolog, Lisp, Simula, Linda, Sather, etc.
Also, worked as a part of a team that worked in the design,
development, coding, testing and debugging of a large scale OS/2
client server application:
-Developed a multi-threaded application used to test a document
imaging API under OS/2. The application, written in C under OS/2, was
a dynamic-link library that was able to be called directly from
REXX. REXX command files were then written to a scenario to test the
underlying imaging OS/2.
-Developed a multi-threaded server module that was written to the
Microsoft ODBC specification. This updated module, written in C under
OS/2 interacted with Microsoft SQL Server, and IBM DB/2.
-Fixed and reported bugs for the some releases of an OS/2 based
product. Extensive debugging was required for resolving multi-threaded
function calls, Presentation Manager user interfaces, SQL queries, LAN
transactions, inter-domain transfers, document archive and retrieval;
file management.
Consulting / Contractor Positions:
-Educational Services under contract with AT&T and Lucent
Technologies, USA.
-Object International under contract with Siemens, Germany.
Additional Training:
-1996 WANG LABORATORIES INC., Boston, MA.
Various classes; Certifications, in Software Development,
Installation and Support.
-6-12/88 MANHATTAN CAREER INSTITUTE, NYC, NY.
Diploma Computer Technician. Graduation date, December 1988.

(2)A statement of GOALS and plans for TEACHING and RESEARCH
Statement of Goals:
I Teaching Interests
II Research Interests
III Other areas of interest:
-Network and Distributed Systems
-Information Systems
-Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics
-Numerical and Scientific Computing
I Teaching Interests
I would like to teach courses ( i.e., core courses ) that gives the
student a broadly-based grounding in research techniques and systems
issues and provides a good starting point for research and industrial
development:
o An understanding of the principles behind modern distributed
systems; heterogeneous, ATMs,...,etc., and the development of
integrated services in a distributed environment ( i.e., Internet ).
o A working familiarity with the techniques for system design and
development and understanding of the supporting technologies involved.
o The necessary skills to work in rapidly evolving research and
development environment.
o An awareness of the needs of industry and the ability to fulfill
those needs.
II Research Interests
Modeling and Simulation of processes and systems ( i.e. biological,
ecological simulation modeling) and Self-Reconfigurable Adaptive
Systems ( SRAS ).
Possible areas of application:
o Modular Computer Systems ( MCS ); Self-Adaptive/Organizing Systems
(SOAS )
o High Speed Switching and Self-Reconfigurable Networks (SRN )
o Information Security
o Artificial Life ( AL ); Machine Intelligence ( M.I.)
Other areas of interest:
Information Systems
o Object-Oriented Spatio-Temporal Systems ( OOSTS ); Expert Systems
( ES )
o Object modeling of Object Oriented Database Management Systems
( OODMS )
Networks and Distributed Systems
o Formal modeling of distributed systems
o Broadband network performance and monitoring
Formal description of Distributed Systems ( DS ), including
description of concurrency and consistency. Studies of various
mathematical techniques including performance analysys, graph-based
algorithms and routing.
Numerical and Scientific Computing
o Parallel implementation of iterative methods for solving linear
and non-linear systems.
o Parallel implementation of multigrid methods, with application on
