Thomas, >Best I can do for now (unless you want to fund some research) This does raise an interesting question. I don't, but I know people might fund something. But what? My interests are in source, so if I am talking to NASA, DOD or some large commercial organisation, this is what I will promote. Those of you interested in requirements, design, etc can do your own promoting. What research topic should I recommend? These people will want some payback in terms of results showing how to reduce faults, improve productivity, etc ... Built a model of program understanding using ACT-R, SOAR or some other model? Research on program complexity measures (but then a lot of people have already looked at this without much to show for it). More effective ways of teaching software development. Certainly needed. I have used results from cognitive psychology to drill holes in quite a few cherished guidelines used in safety critical applications (assuming this book of mine every gets finished). So the fields profile is certainly set to be increased in certain circles :-) Is there a cognitive psychology researchers yellow pages? Some advice on where to send anybody who calls me up would be appreciated. derek -- Derek M Jones tel: +44 (0) 1252 520 667 Knowledge Software Ltd mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Applications Standards Conformance Testing http://www.knosof.co.uk - Automatic footer for [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] unsubscribe discuss To join the announcements list, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] subscribe announce To receive a help file, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] help This list is archived at http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss%40ppig.org/ If you have any problems or questions, please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
