Welcome to my RIT SE department home pages!

I have been at RIT since December 1997 starting in Computer Science providing support to the Software Engineering program while it was still part of that department.  I moved full-time to Software Engineering in July 2002.  I came to RIT from across town where I got my PhD in Computer Science at the University of Rochester.  Prior to those PhD studies I had been working in industry for a number of years at AT&T Bell Labs, AVL and Siemens Corporate Research.  For those who are interested, you can find more details about my background by looking at my formal resume. For the academic year 2005 - 2006, I was on professional development leave looking at the use of software in safety-critical systems.

In the Department of Software Engineering, I regularly teach the following courses:

• 4010-101 - Software Engineering Freshman Seminar
• 4010-102 - Freshman Honors Seminar
• 4010-361 - Software Engineering
• 4010-362 - Engineering of Software Subsystems
• 4010-441 - Principles of Concurrent Software Systems
• 4010-462 - Modeling of Real-Time Systems
• 4010-463 - Performance Engineering of Real-Time and Embedded Systems
• 4010-540 - Software Architecture
• 4010-561, 562 - Senior Project I and II

My professional interests include:

• Engineering of real-time and embedded software systems
• Safety-critical systems
• Concurrent systems
• Distributed systems
• Programming environments and tools

The title of my PhD dissertation was Interactive Augmented Reality.   For an introduction to this area and the research work I had done look at my augmented reality web pages.  One of the pages has MPEG video clips of my working system.  You can also navigate to many other sites on the web specializing in augmented reality by following links I have provided.

On a more personal note, I have a page describing some of the fun recreational things that I do.  If you want to read about and see photos from Jim's Greatest Adventures then check out the web pages for the cross-country bike tour I took during the summer of 1996 and more recently in 2003.
