I am the Decision Support Specialist to the School of Computer Science and advise faculty and staff on the use and development of software systems and networks that involve modern technologies. Most of my focus is on evaluating, installing and troubleshooting multi-user, multi-tier operating environments and databases. I also assist the Director with technology management.

I received my degree in computer science from the University of Windsor and have worked in a variety of positions here for over 20 years, including: system administrator, sessional instructor, course writer, assistant to the Dean of Science, Lotus Notes implementation team leader, and consultant. I also have a varied background in Information Technology consulting in industrial settings. I am currently evaluating and implementing new Internet-based services for the School; wireless networking and associated protocols; and digital media including streaming video.

Here is some sample Java code:

import java.util.*;
public class example1 {

   /**
    * @param args
    */
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      //Variable declarations for input and calculations
      int a, b, c, d;

      //Input
      System.out.println("Example 1: \n");

      System.out.println("Enter a value for 'a': ");
      /*readInt is another method, that will return an int
      and it will not take in any parameters*/
      a = readInt();

      System.out.println("Enter a value for 'b': ");
      b = readInt();

      //Calculations
      //Should c and d be the same?
      c = ( ( a + b - 1) * 2) /4;
      d = a + b - 1 * 2 / 4;

      //Output
      System.out.println("c = " + c);
      System.out.println("d = " + d);
   }

   public static int readInt()
   {
      Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
      int x = sc.nextInt();
      return x;
   }

}
