I am a "distributed" member of the Resolve/Reusable Software Research Group (RSRG) based at Ohio State University's Computer and Information Science Department.
RSRG's charter is to explore all aspects of reusable software "component engineering." We see advances here as being necessary in any successful attack on the problems of programmer productivity and, especially, software quality. Our approach involves a broad look at several related subareas: formal specification of functionality, modular certification of correctness and efficiency of implementation, design of programming languages and systems, and adaptation of our RESOLVE technology to practice in Ada and C++.
At IU Southeast I recently/currently teach:
My research background in component engineering heavily influences both of these courses. Students who pass through both have a good grounding in the RESOLVE/C++ approach to software engineering.
Since Spring 1996 I have been using the WWW to augment the face-to-face meeting between professor and students in CSCI A247, C251, C343 and C455; Informatics I201 and I308, with a virtual meeting place. Each class has its own Web page where I post the syllabus, lab assignments, etc., along with up-to-date information to help students where they seem to be struggling the most.
