I recently had a lot of fun writing a blog post which FRIAMers may
enjoy reading. It's a short walk down memory lane on how we used to
write research papers in the mid eighties: http://www.soabloke.com/2009/01/04/macintosh-at-twenty-five/
BTW I have lurked on this mailing list for a while now and have
never properly introduced myself, so I'll take this opportunity to
do so.
I work as an enterprise IT architect for TIBCO Software. I'm based
in Melbourne Australia, but operate across Australia, India and
Southeast Asia. I haven't always been in IT as I spent much of the
eighties working in Astrophysics. In 1987 I worked for a year at the
NRAO (VLA) in Socorro NM. I have fond memories of ocassionally
escaping to Albuquerque and Santa Fe for some culture and good
coffee...so I feel I have a distant connection with the Santa Fe
aspect of FRIAM. From 1989 to 1992 I post-doc'ed at Johns Hopkins
University in Baltimore where I worked on the Hubble Space Telescope
during launch and the subsequent first few years. Another post-doc
after that at University of Melbourne and I headed out into the IT
world where I've since worked in various areas such as GIS,
enterprise messaging and more lately SOA and Complex Event
Processing. I've had a long interest in complexity, modeling and
simulation. A significant part of my PhD thesis involved modeling
populations of quasars so I could understand various observational
selection effects in my data. In my current CEP work I'm working
around some angles with respect to agent-based simulation and
workflow, although its very simple stuff.
Regards,
Saul
