R & D Projects:   These projects are my major efforts in the area of simulation software for research into agent learning and artificial chemistry.  More

	The Reaction Vessel is a general-purpose computing framework, written in Java, that provides an environment with automatic concurrency and fault tolerance by using the chemical metaphor. More
	The Flask  is an artificial chemistry simulator for exploring a stochastic collision simulator.  More
	The Pond is an agent simulator for studying agent learning and cooperation in unknown environments.  More
	RepeaterBots  is a project for developing simulated robots that carry radio repeaters.  More

Education and Experience:   I have almost 30 years of professional software development experience covering a variety of problem domains, and I have a Ph.D. in the field of artificial intelligence.  I'm currently involved in developing a teaching tool involving concept maps where an expert system evaluates student concept maps and provides feedback to the student.  More

 Renting Benjy's Brain:   I am available for consulting, R & D software design and development, and teaching short courses in the areas of practical stochastic computation methods and object-oriented programming.  More
