Brief
CV
Primary and secondary education in Seymour, Victoria. Bachelor of
Engineering (Hons I) at Melbourne University, 1965-68. M.E. and Ph.D.
at the University of Newcastle, NSW, 1969-71. Became a lecturer in
Electrical Engineering at the University of Newcastle in 1972. Worked
for a number of years on automatic control and related areas,
concentrating mainly on the more theoretical side and especially on
the fundamentals of nonlinear systems theory. Also maintained
an
interest in software design. Held visiting appointments at UC Berkeley,
at Concordia University Montreal, and at CNET (Centre National des
Etudes des Télécommunications) in Paris.
Meanwhile, taught a bit of everything in EE over the years: circuit
theory, electronics, electrical machines, automatic control, compiler
design, assembly language, microprocessor architecture, operating
systems, telecommunications, automata theory, electromagnetic field
theory.
Author of one book, about 70 research papers, and lots of software.

Research
At various stages of my career I worked in the following areas:
- Control and systems theory,
with particular emphasis on optimal
control, stability, and the basic theory of dissipative dynamical
systems.
- Traffic estimation and
control in telecommunications
networks.
- Real-time systems,
with emphasis on scheduling issues.
Software development
As time progressed I concentrated less on basic theoretical issues and
turned more towards software development. The most important outcomes
of this work have been
- The PMOS
library: a software collection (written in Modula-2) for developing
real-time applications.
- A variety of networking software.
Publications
You can fetch a complete
list of publications, or
publications in the following areas.
In recent years I have concentrated on direct
net
publication
of material which is less suitable for publication in
the conventional print media.
