Project Experience
Gary has been involved in a range of both acedemic and industrial projects, including:
Quality Management System
The design, development and deployment of the
web-based application for allowing for the on-line creation and management of organization
processes. Multiple custodians in this distributed environment can manage
process descriptions and publish them for organization use.
Grampian Science and Technology Network (GSTN)
The design, development and
deployment of a large-scale web-based application to allow schools within
Aberdeenshire to access educational resource curriculum materials. The ability to
integrate on-line industrial mentoring is also provided via a web-based interface. This
programme was extended in 2001 to be the 'Scottish Science and Technology
Network'.
Scottish Learning Network (SLN)
The design and development of an industrial
web-application used to support a European Social Funded (ESF) project with Scottish
Enterprise. The SLN was used nationally within Scotland to support and coordinate
beneficial registration and on-line support for several thousand registered users
(including beneficiaries, tutors, regional organizers and administrators).
DTI NeuroComputing
This project involved creating in 1995 an on-line resource centre
for UK industries to become familiar with and exploit the emerging neuro-computing
technology. This on-line service supported a 'conventional' campaign within on-line
resources and 'portal' features to other Internet resources. Gary was invited to design
and implement this project throughout its lifecycle.
Learning Management Systems Projects
These projects have involved development of
SCORM and AICC interfaces for content creation learning products and the development
of learning-based management systems for industrial applications.
Distributed, Discrete Simulation Environment
This project involved the creation of a
distributed discrete simulation environment using object-oriented technology for the
European Space Agency (ESA/ESTEC). The system developed Sun's ToolTalk to provide
components distribution and control with a commercial object-oriented database,
MATISSE, providing persistence capability. Gary designed and implemented the system
architecture and component interfaces.
