My office hours are posted on my web site here.
I still conduct some research. My current research is focussed on data networks. I am interested in the newer wireless networks as well as the more traditional wired (and fiber) networks. In particular, I have interests in network performance, particularly for real time flows such as audio and video. Performance requires network measurement and monitoring, and time synchronization. I also have some interests in network monitoring for security purposes. Currently, I am looking also at the impending migration to IPv6, the next generation of Internet Protocol.
I am undertaking an investigation in the use of on-line learning methods to provide professional development courses through the ITC (Information Technology Centre, the outreach component of the Faculty to industry). Included in this is the investigation of learning support technologies.
I am investigating the use of 3D Virtual Worlds in a teaching environment. I am also promoting the involvement of UNB people in the development of the Open Simulator Project, an attempt to produce an open source implementation of a Virtual World, similar to the Second Life Virtual World, as implemented by Linden Labs.
Past research involves programming languages and compilers.
As a retired professor, I have no administrative responsibilities.
Being now retired, I normally do not teach courses. I will occasionally teach a course to meet our faculty's requirements
I am still interested in supervising senior reports and theses in any of my research areas.
Here are my useful links.
Here is some personal information.
Examples of various attempts to reproduce the original UNB Computer Science Crest for the Web.
