Research and Development Interests

• The design, development and/or analysis of interactive 3D environments: games, scientific visualization, and virtual reality (managed DirectX, OpenGL, VRML).
• The design, development and/or analysis of graphical user interfaces (Microsoft Windows WinForms/C#, Java Swing, 3D or novel)
• The conceptual and/or experimental evaluation of user interfaces.
• The design, construction and analysis of discrete computer simulation models.

Here are links to posted copies of some of my work and supporting software.

• BSBTree distribution Java software for Balanced Sampled Binary Trees.
  Discussed in Barnes,G.M., Noga, J., Smith, P.D., Wiegley, J., Experiments with Balanced-Sample Binary Trees. Proceedings of the 36th SIGCSE technical symposium on Computer science education ,ACM SIGCSE Bulletin, 2005, pp. 166-170.
• Inheriting Software Metrics for object oriented programming. published in, Journal of Object Oriented Programming, vol. 6, 7, 1993, pp 27-34.

Here are some ideas for graduate projects and a list of completed graduate projects that I have chaired.
